Belinda Carlisle - Belinda (album lyrics)


Mad About You
(Brown, Whelan)  

I'm mad about you
You're mad about me babe
Couple of fools run wild aren't we
Pushing the day into the nighttime
Somewhere between the two
We start to see  


Mad about you (Mad about you)
Lost in your eyes (Reason aside)
Mad about love (Mad about you)
You and I  


Something 'bout you
Right here beside me
 
Touches the touched part of me like I can't believe
Pushing the night into the daytime
Watching the sky's first light
While the city sleeps  
 


I Need A Disguise
(Kelly, Steinberg, Hoffs)  

There's a mask on the wall
That I should be wearing
To keep you from seeing
How I'm really feeling
I'd like to be cool
And tell you goodbye
I've been such a fool 

And now it's written all over my face
That I'm about to cry 


I need a disguise
To hide my love
I need a disguise
You've seen too much 
I fall apart when you touch me
With your eyes 

I need a disguise
Oooh baby
I need to get wise
Oooh baby  


I know just where you're going
And I know who you'll be seeing
If I swallow all my pride
There'll be nothing left of me
I'm so confused
It can't be denied (I think you better run now)
Either way I lose
And it's written all over my face
How I hurt inside 

 


Since You've Gone
(Caffey, Buckingham, Segal)  

Since you've gone
Nothing really matters
all I do is hang out with my pillow
I wait in anticipation
For year call that never comes  


Since you've gone
Don't care about tomorrow
Since you've gone my heart's barely beating
I wait 
In anticipation
for your touch it never comes  


Another wild Friday night
And I'm waiting here for you
My head says stay home and die
But my heart says break on through  


There were times
When you really loved me
All the times we would run together
To the heart
The heart of the city
Dreams that filled the night 
 

Another wild Friday night
And I'm waiting here for you
My head says stay home and die
But my heart says break on through  


I ought to get into my car
Hit that pedal hard
I'll drive until I find a way
Since you've gone away  


Since you've gone 
Nothing really matters
All I do is hang out with my pillow... 
 



I Feel The Magic
(Caffey, Segal)  

Last night I gave up on myself
I hit the bed, tell me what should I do
And in a dream I saw your face 

It's more than just a face
You make me want to give my heart away 


I feel the magic
Like I never felt before
I imagine that it's always been there
I feel the magic
There's an angel looking after me
Angel baby give me more and more  


Today I woke up by myself
I hit the streets I wondered what should I do
I never noticed from the start
That I could feel alive again
That I could feel a part of
 



I Never Wanted A Rich Man
(Caffey)  

I never wanted a rich man
Just someone with soul
It was on the day I met you
I vowed to never let you go 

I never knew much about romance
Always used my lucky charms
I learned it all in just one lesson
When you first held me in your arms  


Open up your heart
Let me inside
If you listen to your intuition
We'll have a chance tonight 

Keep me in your heart
And hold on tight
If you read into my intuition
We'll find a way tonight  


I put away all my heroes
And all the lovers I have known
Even though I've had my share
I've spent too many nights alone 

Don't need to look for fame or fortune
I have found my paradise
you've got the whole world in your hands
And a fortune in your eyes 
 



Band Of Gold
(Dunbar, Wayne)  

Now that you've gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left are the dreams I hold
Band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me  


You took me from the shelter of my mother
I have never known or loved another
We kissed after taking vows
That night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms  


I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before  


Now that you've gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left are the dreams I hold
Band of gold 

And memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me  


Don't you know that I wait
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before  


Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left are the dreams I hold
Band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me  


I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before 
 



Gotta Get To You
(Caffey, Carlisle, Brown, Whelan)  

Here I go again
Looking to you, you pass me by
Go home and pretend
There's no one else just you and I 

To be holding you
Touching you
'Cause I'm dreaming about you
But dreams aren't enough  


Gotta get to you
Catch your eye
Gotta get to you
If only I could tell you why 

I gotta get to you
Make you see
Gotta get to you 


If only you'd come 'round to me 

See you everyday
You smile my way, light sparks inside
I need the words to say
To open up this heart of mine  


Here we go again
So close to you, the moment's now
The chance is wasted when
I wait too long and you slip out 
 



From The Heart
(C. Caffey, T. Caffey)  

All the things I used to do
Don't seem to mean much anymore
Every face and every place
Were lost along the way
I'm sitting here all by myself
Looking in the mirror
Holding an old photograph
Oh how it used to be  


Everything comes from the heart
I believe that it's true
Time changes pride from the heart
It's all from the heart  


All the words I used to say
Don't seem to mean much anymore
Every hurt and every word
Were bought along the way
I'm sitting here all by myself
Looking out the window
I'm playing an old record
The same old melody  


I tell you
Every word comes from the heart
I believe that it's true
Time mends each hurt from the heart
It's all from the heart 

There's no need to hide inside
The old world anymore
You're standing here right next to me
I turn to you and smile  


Love, it begins from the heart
I believe that it's true
Time mends each hurt from the heart
I believe that it's true
Every word comes from the heart
I believe that it's true 
 



Shot In The Dark
(Brown, Whelan)  

It's a shot in the dark
But baby I'd like the chance
Fate ain't working
So I'm taking it into my hands
No sad songs not tonight
No slow songs not tonight 


It's a shot in the dark 
And a chance at real romance  


Who'd ever believe
I'd ever see the edge of your tan
But here in the moonlight
Looks like summer is past
You can take me, I'm yours tonight
Well, make me yours tonight 



Real romance with you, I'd like to see 
Romance with you I'd like to feel
Romance with you I'd like to be
The one who does to you what it is you do to me  


Shot in the dark and baby I'd like the chance
Fate ain't working so I'm taking it into my hands
Your eyes shine tonight like the first time I saw you dance
I'm gonna get to know you any way that I can 


I ain't waiting not tonight
No waiting...
 



Stuff and Nonsense
(T. Finn)  

Disobey my own decisions
I deserve all your suspicions
First it's yes and then it's no
I dilly dally down to you, oh
But I've got no secrets that I battle in my sleep
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep  


And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense  


I once lived for the future
Everyday was one day closer
Greener on the other side
Yes I believe before I met you
I assumed that your love was brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when I know where and why 

And you know that I love you

CALIFORNIA SUN


(Henry Glover / Morris Levy / Go-Go's)

I'm going out West where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long

And they walk our walk
And they twist our twist
And they shim our shim
And they come out loud
Well they're out there having fun
In the warm California sun


We're going back there out on the coast
Where the California guys are really the most

We're coming right back to --
A --- wherever you go

THE WHOLE WORLD LOST ITS HEAD

(Jane Wiedlin / Kathy Valentine)

Freeway fell into the bay
Pope's on L.S.D.
Muslim girls are getting down
In bikinis
Nazis selling Tupperware
Door to door
Telepreachers mud-wrestling
On the dance floor

I read it in the paper
I see it on my TV

Has the whole world lost it's head
(Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head
(Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head

You can buy tomatoes
That last 500 years
Claudia Schiffer's fiancƩ
Made her disappear
Drag queens have the navy
Tossing in their beds
Mary ate her little lamb
And punk rock isn't dead

I read it in the paper
I see it on my TV

Has the whole world lost it's head
(Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head
(Is it just me)
Has the whole world lost it's head
Lost it's head
Lost it's head
Lost it's head

GOOD GIRL


(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)

I'm gonna be a good girl
So everybody loves me
I'm gonna do what they say
Let them chose the games that we play

Good girl, good girl
Gonna be a good girl
Good dog, good girl
Gonna be a good girl


I'm gonna smile 'til it hurts
So everybody loves me
I'll bend over backwards
Swallow all my angry words

Good girl, good girl
Better be a good girl
Good dog, good girl
Gonna be a good girl

Good girl, good girl
Better be a good girl
Good dog, good girl
Gonna be a good girl


All I want is for everyone to love me
All I want is for everyone to love me


I'll get down on my knees
I'll say pretty pretty pretty please

BEAUTIFUL


(Charlotte Caffey / Gina Schock)

My life is ever so perfect
My life has been a bed of roses
And you might think I'm crazy
So what if I am
My head is full of good things
Enough for everyone

Beautiful
Is all I see when I look at me
Beautiful
Every mother's dream
Day by day
Things just keep getting prettier
(So pretty)
Beautiful
What a wonderful life


My life is really quite simple
My life is just what I make it
I think you think I'm seeing
Only things I want to see
The truth is that I'm being
Who I wanna be

Beautiful
Is all I see when I look at me
Beautiful
Every mother's dream
Day by day
Things just keep getting prettier
(So pretty)
Beautiful
What a wonderful, a wonderful, a wonderful life


Let me have my own world
Come in live in my world
Let me have my own world
Come in live in my world

Beautiful
Is all I see when I look at me
Beautiful
Every monther's dream
Day by day
Things just keep getting prettier
(So pretty)
Beautiful
What a wonderful life
Beautiful
Things keep getting prettier
Beautiful
Things keep getting prettier
(So pretty)
Beautiful
(Come in live my world)
Beautiful
Come in live in my world
Let me have my own world
Come in live in my world
(So pretty)

TUTTI FRUTTI

(Dorothy La Bostrie / Joe Lubin / Richard Penniman)

A-Wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop-bam-boo
Tutti Frutti, oh Rudy (x 6)
A-wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop bam bam


I got a gal named Sue
She knows just what to do
Got a gal named Sue
She knows just what to do
She knows how to love me
Yes indeed
You don't know
What she's doing to me

Tutti Frutti, oh Rudy (x 5)
A-wop-bop-a-loo-lop a-lop bam bam


I got a gal named Daisy
You know she almost drives me crazy
Got a gal named Daisy
You know she almost drives me crazy
Well she's brought me to the east
And she's brought me to the west
She's the gal
That I love the best

Non-album 80's songs lyrics


LET’S HAVE A PARTY


(Jessie Mae Robinson / Belinda Carlisle)

Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But movin' and a groovin'
Gonna satisfy my soul

Let's have a party
C'mon let's have a party
When some people getting bored
Rock some more
Let's have a party tonight


I've never kissed a bear
I've never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken
In the middle of the room
 
Let's have a party
C'mon let's have a party
When some people getting bored
Rock some more
Let's have a party tonight

2 - 3 - 4

Honky Tonky Joe
Is knockin' at the door
Let's bring him in and feel him up
And spin him on the floor

Let's have a party
C'mon let's have a party
When some people getting bored
Rock some more
Let's have a party tonight

The music's getting hot
We're dancing to the beat
Cousin shot the moon
And we're jumping on our feet

Let's have a party
C'mon let's have a party
Then the people get some fun
Rock some more
Let's have a party tonight

We're gonna have a party tonight
We're gonna have a party tonight


VACATION (early version)

(Kathy Valentine)

I thought a lot of things about you
I stayed away just thinkin’ ‘bout you
But now I’m away
You had to stay
Tomorrow’s a day of mine that you won’t be in
I tried to say it was just for fun
But I really knew you were the one
And now that I’m gone
I see I was wrong
I should have known all along that time would tell

A week without you
I should forget
Two weeks without you
And I’m still thinking ‘bout the things that you said

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

I think I’ll leave without saying goodbye
I think you know the reason why
That if I was to stay
You’d picture out  some other way
I’ll never know anyway


SURFING AND SPYING

(Charlotte Caffey)

Surf ! Spy !


SPEEDING


(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)

I can't explain the way I feel
Each time I get behind the wheel
The rush of blood comes
As the power surges
And my right foot urges
The car to push on through the night

Driving faster
Driving past the scenery
On pretty view and
Feel the speed and
I don't dream of
Driving slow some other time


One thing I'm certain that I know
All I want to do is go go go
Everything is rushing by
My heart is pounding deep inside
Got to match the engine's pace
Win imaginary race - yeah !

Driving faster
Driving past the scenery
On pretty view and
I feel as though I've
Got to control my
Reckless need to speed and speed
And speed
And speed
And speed
And speed...


GOOD FOR GONE


(Gina Schock / Kathy Valentine)

You and all your mystery
Only secrets, no clues
Had to make it history
Now you're yesterday's news
Once I wanted you so bad
Thought I'd never let go
Now I've had it up to here
And you're ready to blow

Everything's the same
But one thing's changed
I'm without you
I stand to gain
No fear remains
Here without you
I'm good forgotten
You're good for gone
I'm good forgotten
You're good for gone


Learned to live a life so well
That's what we did best
All the good's forgotten now
And I've got no regrets

Everything's the same
One thing's changed
I'm without you
I stand to gain
No fear remains
Here without you
I'm good forgotten
You're good for gone
I'm good forgotten
You're good for gone

Learned to live a life so well
Yeah, you know we did our best
All the good's forgotten now
And I've got no regrets



MAD ABOUT YOU


(Paula Jean Brown / James Whelan / Mitchel Young Evans)

I'm mad about you
You're mad about me babe
Couple of fools run wild aren't we
Pushing the day into the nighttime
Somewhere between the two
We start to see

Mad about you
(Mad about you)
Lost in your eyes
(Reason aside)
Mad about love
(Mad about you)
You and I


Something 'bout you
Right here beside me
Touches the touched part of me like I can't believe
Pushing the night into the daytime
Watching the sky's first light
While the city sleeps

I'm mad about you
You're mad about me babe
Couple of fools run wild aren't we

Talk Show (album lyrics)


HEAD OVER HEELS


(Charlotte Caffey / Kathy Valentine)

Been running so long
I've nearly lost all track of time
In every direction
I couldn't see the warning signs
I must be losin' it
'Cuz my mind plays tricks on me
It looked so easy
But you know, looks sometimes deceive

Been running so fast
Right from the starting line
No more connections
I don't need any more advice
One hand's just reaching out
And one's just hangin' on
It seems my weaknesses
Just keep going strong

Head over heels
Where should I go ?
Can't stop myself
Outta control
Head over heels
No time to think
Looks like
The whole world's out of sync

Been running so hard
When what I need is to unwind
The voice of reason
Is one I left so far behind
I've waited so long
So long to play this part
And just remembered
That I'd forgotten about my heart

TURN TO YOU


(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)

You act so tough
But I know what you're doing
You think falling in love
Means falling to ruin
You build your walls so high
You act your life out all alone
You don't wanna let me see
That your heart's not made of stone

There may be some explanation
Why you feel the way you do
The world makes its rotations
But I just wanna turn to you


(Turn To you)
Come on let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Please let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Why not let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Just wanna turn to you

It has a lot to do
With the first time that we met
The wild dance in your eyes
Made up for what was never said
Gotta get my message
Stop spending all our precious time
Because before you know it
We'll be down to our last dime

There are no explanations
Why I feel the way I do
The world makes its rotations
But I just wanna turn to you

(Turn To you)
Come on let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
I wanna turn to you
(Turn To you)
Please let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Just wanna turn to you

Gotta get my message
Stop spending all our precious time
Because before you know it
We'll be down to our last dime

There are no explanations
Why I feel the way I do
The world makes its rotations
But I just wanna turn to you

(Turn To you)
Come on let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Please let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Just wanna turn to you
(Turn To you)
Why not let me turn to you

(Turn To you)
Come on let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
I wanna turn to you
(Turn To you)
Why not let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
I just wanna turn to you
(Turn To you)
Please let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Why not let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Why not let me turn to you
(Turn To you)
Please let me turn to you

YOU THOUGHT


(Gina Schock / Kathy Valentine)

I can't seem to stop the music
All those familiar sounds
My thoughts cut in on partners
Dancin' in their empty arms
Tangled up in the lives of others
That don't make any sense
Lost looks in the eyes of lovers
Their sins are innocent

Don't you stop to wonder
What's goin' wrong
When everything you've ever loved
Has come and gone


You thought and never told me
You thought but that won't hold me
So much was left unspoken
Held in a heart now broken


Situations all invented
A million in your head
How come you keep repeating
Each word you ever said

Don't you stop to wonder
What's goin' wrong
When everything you've ever loved
Has come and gone

You thought and never told me
You thought but that won't hold me
So much was left unspoken
Held in a heart now broken
You thought and never questioned
You thought and kept me guessing
Too much was left unspoken
You thought a bit too late this time

Tangled up in the lives of others
That don't make any sense
Lost looks in the eyes of lovers
Their sins are innocent

Don't you stop to wonder
What's goin' wrong
When everything you've ever loved
Has come and gone

BENEATH THE BLUE SKY


(Kathy Valentine / Jane Wiedlin)

Hey over there what's going on
Where I am they say you're wrong
When my sun is setting
Yours is breaking dawn
Say over there I wanna talk
I wonder if we think the same thoughts
What do they teach you
How much have you bought
These days I feel too wise
I think we're sharing the same lies

Beneath the blue sky
We're all alone together
The calm hides stormy weather
And if we stand apart
We'll kiss goodbye
Beneath the blue sky


Way over there do you feel it too
In the end there's no privileged few
Everybody wants to live
Their lives through

FORGET THAT DAY


(Jane Wiedlin)

I remember that day
Wind pushing birds around
Trees crashing against the window
Of a ghost hotel
I kissed you and swore I'd never tell
But you said it wasn't right

I remember that day
Rain pouring from the sky
Dashing down the boulevard
Watching the city from a tower
My head felt light
I knew I'd lost my heart
But I just said I hate heights

Why'd you say you loved me
That day, that day
When you new you wouldn't have me on
This day, this day
Now you're fine, I'm not okay
And I can only stay away
I can only kneel and pray
Try and try to forget that day


I remember the time
I left to get some work done
Wasn't looking for anyone
When out of nowhere you found me
Though now I know you love some
other one
I can't forget the things you said

I’M THE ONLY ONE


(Kathy Valentine / Daniel Bryan Harvey / Carlene Carter)

What you think of me is hard to tell
Double talkin' words that I can't spell
I don't wanna read between your lies
Love comes easy when you close your eyes
You always run away with words
You're never seen once you've been heard

I'm the only fool
That's as big a fool as you
Got the only heart
And it beats as hard as yours

I'm the only one you run to
The one you come to
The only one you can get to
I'm the only one
(Only one for you)
I'm the only one
(Only one for you)
I'm the only one
(Only one for you)
Only one for you


There's no need to play this silly game
No one wins and nothing's ever gained
You'd think by now that maybe you would see
But you're as blind to love as you are to me
I'm all for one, you're one for all
I got the only number you should call

I'm the only fool
That's as big a fool as you
Got the only heart
And it beats as hard as yours

I'm the only one you run to
The one you come to
The only one you can get to
I'm the only one
(Only one for you)
I'm the only one
(Only one for you)
I'm the only one
(Only one for you)
Only one for you

YES OR NO


(Jane Wiedlin / Ron Mael / Russell Craig Mael)

You're alone and I am too
You're my idea of a pretty view
You can move or so it seems
I bet we'd make a decent team

I'm not asking for all your time
A song or two would suit me fine
I'm not asking for you to say
that you'll be with me all the way

Shut your mind off for a while
Concentrate on the latest style
And everything's alright


Yes or no
I'll take it fast or slow
I'll make it easy for you to decide
Yes or no
You've got to let it go
Just take a stance
Either dance or tell me no


If you've got somewhere to be
If you've got someone besides me
Let me know don't put me on
If it's not right then I'll be gone

All those dancers can't be wrong
All those answers would take too long
So tell me tell me now

Yes or no
I'll take it fast or slow
I'll make it easy for you to decide
Yes or no
You've got to let it go
Just take a stance
Either dance or tell me no

All those dancers can't be wrong
All those answers would take too long
Shut your mind off for a while
Concentrate on the latest style

I'm not asking for all your time
A song or two would suit me fine
I'm not asking for you to say
that you'll be with me all the way

All those dancers can't be wrong
All those answers would take too long
So tell me tell me now

CAPTURE THE LIGHT


(Jane Wiedlin)

When it goes dark
Get me to bed
Forget the night
Wait for the light of day
Sleep till the sun
Comes into sight

When it goes dark
Get me to bed
Forget the night
Wait for the light of day
Sleep till the sun
Comes into sight

I'm gonna capture the light
And keep it in my heart
Yeah grab on to the light
And hold it in my heart


Light and luck and love
Everybody wants
To touch the stars
Take a piece of happiness
Hold on tight
Keep trying hard

To capture the light
And keep it in your heart
Yeah grab on to the light
And hold it in your heart

Used to hunt for darkness
And it would follow me
Wherever I go
Now I'm looking up again
I got no more time
For feeling low

'Cuz I captured the light
I've got it in my heart
Grabbing on to the light
And hold it in my heart

Capture the light
Hey !

I’M WITH YOU


(Gina Schock / Jane Wiedlin)

I can hardly stand the thought of leaving again
Can barely write the words I'm shakin' the pen
We'll be together but who knows when
We gotta hold on hold on

I'm burnin' burnin' inside
You're outta my sight I'm outta my mind
We never bargained or planned on this
We gotta hold on hold on

I'm with you
Hold me in your heart
Keep the fire strong
Without you
Not really apart
Our love goes on and on

When we're together we pretend
That we can take the time 'cuz it will never end
It was so easy when love began
We gotta hold on hold on

Now I'm off another city in sight
And I remember each and every night
When I could touch you it felt so right
that's why I hold on hold on

I'm with you
Hold me in your heart
Keep the fire strong
Without you
Not really apart
Our love goes on and on

I'm with you
Keep me in your mind
Relive each memory
I'm waiting
No matter how long
Until you're holding me

I'm burnin' burnin' inside
You're outta my sight I'm outta my mind
We never bargained or planned on this
We got to hold on hold on

MERCENARY


(Jane Wiedlin / Kathy Valentine / Charlotte Caffey)

He's crying inside
Can't tear the hurt out
Life's rushing by
Like and old movie backdrop
The radio's blasting
Song after song
About the big romance
That went all wrong

She says :
I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says :
Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be
Such a mercenary


She's scheming inside
Can't stop the wheels turning
Been through it before
There's no profit or learning
She's not really bad
Just a gold-plated heart
So scared to be alone
It rips her apart

Vacation (album lyrics)




VACATION


(Kathy Valentine / Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)

Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine
that you won't be in

When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should have known all along
that time would tell

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone


A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

HE’S SO STRANGE


(Charlotte Caffey / Leonard Graves Phillps / Glen Custis / Jane Wiedlin)

He's coming out tonight
He'll walk outside the light
You'll feel him very near
Confusion nothing's clear
His presence cold and stark
Like a shadow in the dark
You're scared but you won't run
You almost wish it was over and done

You can't escape the thought of him
Do you wonder why ?
(He's so strange)
And if he brought you down to your knees
Would you cry ?
(He's so strange)
He frightens you so much
He could burn you with his touch
Everything has changed
He's so strange

You've lost all track of time
The victim of a crime
He's stolen heart and soul
He's taken all control
Is this some crazy dream?
Obsession as the main theme
Though you can't see the chains
You're the prisoner of a love so strange

GIRL OF 100 LISTS


(Jane Wiedlin)

Ghetto blasters, phony jewels
Cathedrals, castles, making up rules
Trashy novels and leather gloves
This is a list of things that I love

I am the girl of 100 lists
From what shall I wear
To who I have kissed
Check items off
Let nothing be missed
Sing I to myself and my 100 lists

Pick up your laundry, doctor's at ten
We're out of toothpaste, rehearsal again
Stop by the bank and cash my pay
These are the things I must get done today

I am the girl of 100 lists
From what shall I wear
To who I have kissed
Check items off
Let nothing be missed
Sing I to myself and my 100 lists


Ricky and Danny and Terry and Jim
Dean lasted six months-don't forget him
Perhaps some day this list will end
Till then I tally my gentlemen friends

WE DON’T GET ALONG


(Kathy Valentine)

I'm not very serious
You want me to be straight
I'm not out of time
But you think I'm too late
I'm not feeling desperate
You think I can't wait

Well somehow you always get me wrong
Somehow you always take things wrong
Somehow you always get me wrong
Well I guess we just don't get along


You always go to sleep
When I stay up all night
You say I'm wrong
When I'm thinkin' you're alright
I just wanna talk things over
You just wanna fight

Well somehow you always get me wrong
Somehow you always take things wrong
Somehow you always get me wrong
Well I guess we just don't get along


You leave me broken
And you don't realize
Everything is alright
And then you apologize
The things that really matter to me
They just pass you by

I THINK IT’S ME


(Charlotte Caffey / Belinda Carlisle)

Can't take anymore
My head's spinning 'round
Goin' back and forth
Goin' up and down

Don't know where I stand
Someone always loves a little more
And I think it's me


Sometimes I think you care
And then you don't
Then I think you will
That's when you won't

I don't know where I stand
Someone always loves a little more
And I think it's me


Wonderin' why I feel this way
Could it be something that you said
Or is it just some daydream
When I think of you and me

Then I see you pass me by
With that certain look in your eyes
And now I'm back where I began
Not knowin' where I stand
I think it's me

Go ahead now
Take a chance
Don't worry 'bout losin' another romance

I don't know where I stand
Someone always loves a little more
And I think it's me

I think it's me
I think it's me
I know it's me

IT’S EVERYTHING BUT PARTYTIME

(Jane Wiedlin / Gina Schock)

This is the place for celebrating
This is the crowd that's fascinating
This is the time for concentrating
To hear some words worth translating

He's rapping 'bout his meditating
She's dying for some medicating
And though I shouldn't be complaining
What's lacking here is entertaining

We're all looking for a good time
But what we get is empty rhyme
When everything's right but nothing's fine
It's everything but partytime


Talk about decorating
A room that needs sophisticating
When conversations become straining
No one's good at interest feigning

GET UP AND GO


(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)

If you get up and walk away
Leave the past behind
Go ahead and take a ride
No telling what you'll find

The words you say don't mean a thing
They fly right by my eyes
Look in the mirror don't look at me
Maybe then you'll realize

So get up and go
If you're so tired of moving slow
Go if you're so tired of moving slow
Go, get up and go

I was on the inside
Just looking out for you
But you're the one to make a change
There's nothing I can do

Now's the time for you to move
Actions shout out loud
So cut the talk and move your feet
Cuz words get lost in crowds

Quit talking
Start walking now

So get up and go
If you're so tired of moving slow
Go if you're so tired of moving slow
Go, get up and go

Go, get up and go (x4)

THIS OLD FEELING


(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin)

This old feeling
It's new to me
I'm not sure
How I should be
I'd tattoo my vow
For all to see
To prove how much
You mean to me

A million times said
In as many songs
But before you
I could never sing along

This old feeling
It's got me up
I can't believe
My good luck
I'd wait at your door
Till eternity
Because you mean
That much to me


Well a million times said
In as many songs
But before you
I could never sing along

I love you
(Oh yes I do)
I do
I love you
(Oh yes I do)
I do
I love you
(Oh yes I do)
Yes I do

This old feeling
(What a feeling that I'm feeling)
It's got me up
(My head is reeling)
I can't believe
(My heart you're stealing)
My good luck
I'd wait at your door
(I'll be standing by your side)
Till eternity
(Until the end of time)
Because you mean
(Now that you'll be mine)
That much to me

THE WAY YOU DANCE


(Charlotte Caffey / Jane Wiedlin / Kathy Valentine)

The way you dance
You move in self romance
And you don't see me watch
The way you dance
Your eyes close in a trance
So you don't see me watching


People in this place just seem to stand around
Flashing cash they eye each other up and down
You're all alone out on the floor
The music spins you 'round
It's all you came here for

The way you dance
You move in self romance
And you don't see me watch
The way you dance
Your eyes close in a trance
So you don't see me watch


I see the night that's slipping by and every song
Takes me closer to the time when you'll be gone
How can I get through
Don't wanna break the spell
Just wanna dance with you

The way you dance
You move in self romance
And you don't see me watch
The way you dance
Your eyes close in a trance
So you don't see it's me...


Who loves the way you dance
I love the way you dance
I watch the way you dance
Don't stop the way you dance
Let's dance !

WORLDS AWAY


(Jane Wiedlin / Kathy Valentine)

Walking around it's clear
That I'm worlds away
Thinking with only half my mind
Found myself wanting
To be sleeping
To be dreaming
To be worlds away

Slip into bed the sheets are
Cold and smooth
My tension melts to a quiet warm
Find myself waiting
To be sleeping
To be dreaming
To be worlds away

I wanna be worlds away
Apart from the day to day
I know I'll be okay
When I get worlds away

Worlds away
Worlds away
Worlds away
Worlds away

Slipping away to somewhere
In my heart
Go to a world where no one's been before
That's when I find myself
Not quite sleeping
But still dreaming
And I'm worlds away
