LIKE A STAR Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, You have appeared to my life, Feel like I'll never be the same, Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands, Honour to love you Still I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind, You've got this look I can't describe, You make me feel like I'm alive, When everything else is au fait, Without a doubt you're on my side, Heaven has been away too long, Can't find the words to write this song, Oh... Your love, Still I wonder why it is, SongtexteI don't argue like this, With anyone but you, We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind, Now I have come to understand, The way it is, It's not a secret anymore, 'cause we've been through that before, From tonight I know that you're the only one, I've been confused and in the dark, Now I understand, I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, I wonder why it is, I wont let my guard down, For anyone but you We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind, Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, You have appeared to my life, Feel like I'll never be the same, Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands PUT YOUR RECORDS ON Three little birds, sat on my window. And they told me I don't need to worry. Summer came like cinnamon So sweet, Little girls double-dutch on the concrete. Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same Oh, don't you hesitate. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely, Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside, (just relax, just relax) Don't you let those other boys fool you, Got to love that afro hair do. Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change. Don't you think it's strange? Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. 'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer? Do what you want to. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow ENCHANTMENT I wait for you. I don't know why. all i know is i can't hide. at this temperature you could take over my mind. like gossamer, you softly touch. he draws me in, i'm powerless. he possesses an enchantment. tell me i'm forgiven. he calls, don't know how i fell under his spell. lately i've been driven. he smiles, an enchantment. i wait for you. I'm mesmerized this love is like a potion in disguise. i'd tightrope walk with a blindfold on my eyes. I can't escape, or so it seems. I'd run away, he's in my dreams. he possesses an enchantment. tell me i'm forgiven. he calls, don't know how i fell under his spell. lately i've been driven. he smiles, an enchantment. it's the kind of sleepwalk that never ends. a type of loan with no dividends. it's a parlour game where you're given chase. guess it could be called an acquired taste. i know, he knows, he calls, i go, i know. this could be an enchantment. why don't you tell me i'm forgiven? he calls, don't you know how i fell under his spell. i'm forgiven...lately i've been driven. he smiles and i give in, an enchantment. TROUBLE SLEEPING It's late and I'm feeling so tired Having trouble sleeping. This constant compromise Between thinking and breathing. Could it be I'm suffering Because I'm never give in? Won't say that I'm falling in love Tell me I don't seem myself Couldn't I blame something else? Just don't say I'm falling in love Some kind of therapy Is all I need Please believe me Some instant remedy That can cure me completely Could it be that I'm suffering Because I'll never give in? Won't say that I'm falling in love Tell me I don't seem myself Couldn't I blame something else? Just don't say I'm falling in love 'cause I've been there before and it's not enough So nobody say it Don't even say it I ve got my eyes shut Won't look, oh No, I'm not in love Could it be I'm suffering Because I'll never give in?
