Caro Emerald Album

I'm in a little bit of trouble and I'm in real deep
From the beginning to the end he was no more than a friend to me
The thought is making me hazy I think I better sit down
Cause that sweet serenade that he knows got it made with me

Twistin' around on a carousel this beats too much to stop
One second I'm thinkin I'm feeling lost and then I feel alive

Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

Now it's like I'm on a mission headed everywhere
And if it takes a little long and it feels a little wrong who cares
My baby fits the description and does it easily
A little gape some will stare when he dances I can hardly breathe

Someone call a doctor need some help to rescue me
One second I'm thinkin' I must be lost and he keeps on findin' me

Ooh that man is like a flame
And ooh that man plays me like a game
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

Ooh I'm gonna find that man
You betcha I'm gonna find that man
Heyeah I'm gonna find that man
I'm gonna find that
I'm gonna find that man

Ooh that man is on my list
And ooh that man I wanna kiss
My only sin is I can't win
Ooh I wanna love that man

Man's voice:
You know, I've been calling you for about two days now
And I, uh, I want to see you darling, I really do
You know, because I think of you and, uh
All of kinda goes a little bit crazy, so uh
I believe it's a match darling, so you should phone me
and we will have a night in the casbah that neither of us will ever forget
Beautiful evening of love, lust and paradise, you could make it nice
Call me back on Riverside 42239, ciao ciao

Hey handsome have you got the time?
I've been watching you since the moment you arrived
A white suit from London and shoes from Paree
Don't you wanna spend about an hour with me?

The scent and the aroma refuses to breathe
It's more like a haze that's trying to succeed
It's drawing me in and pulling me to you
And every thought I have turns the language blue

All it costs is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true

Your dreams come true

Don't know why you play hard to get
I'm here to kiss away any thoughts of regret
A silk tie from Siam shows elegance and class
Handsome as the heavens that any film would never cast

But underneath the mask I see the skin of a man
Smooth and seductive, who's really got a plan
It's drawing me in magnetically to you
You haven't got forever but I got that too

All it costs is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true

Your dreams come true
I'll make your dreams come
I'll make your dreams come
I'll make your dreams come true

Unlike the smoke on your fire
Smoldering endless desire
How long will your flame burn

All it costs is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true

All it costs is just a minute now
For one dollar you can show me how
I'll take your hand and then your worries too
In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true

(Eh, Yeah, yeah, hit'm, ye-yeah)

I'm really tired of my concrete jungle
Six days a week is way too much
I'm gonna make the great escape
Go on a little getaway

I'll go get my beat up motor
Start it up and head for the green
Of endless countrysides
And go somewhere I've never been

I'll stop, kiss my blues goodbye
Breathe until I soar outside my crazy nights
And live the Riviera life
I'll stop, thankyou for today
I'm sure that by candlelight, I'll be alright
And live a Riviera life

Mmm...
I'll live a Riviera life

The road can wind like my hidden hair bow
You clear my face so I can feel the breeze
And down below it's Monaco
And Mister, I don't know a soul

I'll drop off the keys at valet
Look out my window bay
One afternoon martini
Wouldn't want it any other way

I'll stop, kiss my blues goodbye
Breathe until I soar outside my crazy nights
And live the Riviera life
I'll stop, thankyou for today
I'm sure that by candlelight, I'll be alright
And live a Riviera life

So whenever
My eyes get weary
I'm not fearing what life brings
Forever
When times make me teary
I'll know what I was meant to do
I've nothing at all to lose

I'll stop, kiss my blues goodbye
Breathe until I soar outside my crazy nights
And live the Riviera life
I'll stop, thankyou for today
I'm sure that by candlelight, I'll be alright
And live a Riviera life

Mmm...
Dududa ta ta ta ta ta
Mmm...
I'll live a Riviera life

I can't stop shakin'
The room has a groove and the floor
It's almost earthquakin'
Uhuh

Look what we're makin'
History out on the floor
And it's just awakin'
Uhuh

So get that needle in the core
Scratch that back and gimme more
You know zactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again

Chorus:
From the middle to the top to the end
Ba dlu dla dlun dloday
Ba dlu dla dlun dloday
Back to the middle to the front to the end
Za dlu dla dlun dloday
Everybody ba dlun dloday
I don't care if he's a friend
From the front to the middle to the back to the end

I wanna
Back, back, back, back it up
Back it up and do it again

Gimme some of that funky
The kind that the Duke used to play
And make it more swingy
Heyey

And then give me some hornay
You know the bub-pu-pa bub-pu-pa-bay
Come on, give it to me
Hmmm hmmm

Slam that bass and make it sing
Give those strings that rip 'n zing
You know zactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again

Chorus

So get that needle in the core
Scratch that back and gimme more
You know zactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again

Chorus

Little girl, just keep on waiting
For that man to give you a life
You keep on hoping, so this Prince can save you
Keep on dreaming his scandalous lie

For your love is he the hero, mmm
Does he know that you begging him please
Where angels dare, the devils fill that need
In your despair does he get up to leave

At the start of his goodbye
Do you ever realize
That you never get the chance
All you get is alibis
When smoke begins to fade
And you're standing face to face
Does he kiss you in a way to say:
"You're the other woman"
The other woman

Wear that dress, the one you rely on, mmm
Slit up high, that shows off your wares
And when he's arriving, give him that invitation
Keep on wishing almost all of him cares

For your love he is your hero, yes
Even though you are begging him please, please
Woman unscared, your risks are never ending
And don't you pretend you don't live what you breathe

At the start of his goodbye
Do you ever realize
That you never get the chance
All you get is alibis
When smoke begins to fade
And you're standing face to face
Does he kiss you in a way to say:
"You're the other woman"
The other woman

You'll always be the other woman
You'll always be the other woman

Baby, trust me, I've been there before
You don't know him, I know him more

At the start of his goodbye
Do you ever realize
That you never get the chance
All you get is alibis
When smoke begins to fade
And you're standing face to face
Does he kiss you in a way to say:
"You're the other woman"
The other woman

Clear the way boys, the lady has arrived
All you handsome fellas please wait for me to the right
Don't keep me waiting, ooh, that you for the drink
It's quarter past eleven, I'm not in the mood to think

Mr. Bandleader, let's kick out the jam
Gimme somethin' that'll light it up
And make my feet go BAM! BAM! BAM!

Because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday what you get is absolutely me
I said Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible for me
But once you get to Friday what you get is absolutely me

Sweeter than the candy about to caress my lips
Imagine all the sugar when I start to shake my hips
It's not an illusion, I'm as live as live can be
Instead of all your promises, why don't you show all your charms to me

Mr. Bandleader, this arrangement has to change
Gimme somethin that'll light it up
Won't you let the boogie start to play

Because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday what you get is absolutely me
I said Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible for me
But once you get to Friday what you get is absolutely me

I don't want a serenade
To hear you say a thing
All I need is your attention
And a 10-carat diamond ring

[Ready--Bust it!]

Because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible you see
But when it gets to Friday what you get is absolutely me
I said Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are impossible for me
But once you get to Friday what you get is absolutely me

Another day, another night, got me thinkin'.
What is it with him?--he's naturally moving slow.
I see him at the corner bar--am I dreamin'?
Surrounded by friends--it's got to end--I need to know.

Am I just a night of lust and lost temptation?
Is someone like me his destiny? He'll never know.
I gotta find a way to show my expectations.
He ends it where it begins but I won't let go.

I know you don't love me--but still I burn for you.
I know you don't love me--this flame won't die, it's true.
My soul bared completely--don't seem enough for you.
I know you don't love me--but the message can't get through.

Any man can see that I'm worth the talkin'.
Love can be bittersweet when the girl hears "no".
Opportunity knocks but your doors don't open.
But I feel a fire inside that's about to blow.

So sweep me off my feet and show me somethin' different.
You know all the tricks--come get your kicks--you know I'm game.
You gotta understand a girl needs more than romance.
How many chances lost 'til you just runaway?

I know you don't love me--but still I burn for you.
I know you don't love me--this flame won't die, it's true.
My soul bared completely--don't seem enough for you.
I know you don't love me--but the message can't get through.

Maybe you're missing a telepathy.
There's a disconnect so you don't think of me.
I don't really care because I disagree.
Cause I'm the only part of you that you don't see.

I just made an appointment
For a special rendez-vous
To see a man of miracles
And all that he can do

I checked in at reception
Put my hat onto my lap
And when he walked in dressed in white
I had a heart attack

My eyes went ooh
My voice just cooed
My mind let loose
I'll stay forever, it's up to you

(Dabedebedibedabedudohdoh)

Doctor I want you
Mmm, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. Do anything that ya Wanna Do
Doctor I want you
Mmm, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. Do anything that ya Wanna Do

I sat down and I waited
'Til I heard my name get called
It's like I'm at the races
And I think I won them all

He asked me to step forward
First I caught my breath, and ran
For endless observation
In the hands of Superman

My eyes went ooh
My voice just cooed
My mind let loose
I'll stay forever, it's up to you

(Dabedebedibedabedudohdoh)

Doctor I want you
Mmm, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. Do anything that ya Wanna Do
Doctor I want you
Mmm, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. Do anything that ya Wanna Do

Come over here and give me some medicine
Move a little closer so my head can spin
A little bit of potion makes my fever go
Get it out of me me like a volcano

My eyes went ooh (uhuh uhuh)
My voice just cooed (you know it)
My mind let loose
Mmm, Dr. Love

(Dabedebedibedabedudohdoh)

Doctor I want you
Mmm, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. Do anything that ya Wanna Do
Doctor I want you
Mmm, my Doctor Wanna Do
I can't get over you
Dr. Do anything that ya Wanna Do

I close my eyes and dream about a sunny holiday
I wish that I was beachin' down on Saint Tropez
Or sitting in the lobby at the fabulous Pierre
With diamonds on my fingers and not a single care

Instead I'm on the Avenue where nobody goes
With fields of green that wilted like a last summer rose
Some people call it paradise, but I call it pain
Baby take me anywhere, but not here again

Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do

You promised me a motorcade and endless perfume
A palace in Geneva with a perfect view
And dreams painted yellow like the color of gold
And dine with kings and queens 'till the food gets cold

Instead I'm on the edge of all I thought I would be
This dream is now a comedy I don't wanna see
Some people call it laughter but I call it pain
Baby take me anywhere but not here again

Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do
Oh I do

I know we have a chemistry
This combination's heavenly
But don't forget you promised me
Everything, everything
I know we have a chemistry
This combination's heavenly
But don't forget that you promised me
Everything

Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do

Three o'clock on a late Sunday morning
The candles have burned to their end
Found the pictures we've taken
And now I'm awaken and
Sleep's my invisible friend

So I'm staring the hands off my wall clock
Seems both of us just hang around
Got no one to warm me
And nothing to hold
My body needs what it don't have

Without him
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine

The tracks of my tears keep on freezin'
I'm melting the cold in the halls
I feel like I'm drownin'
There's no one around
And now I'm just climbing the walls

Perhaps if I played the seductress
A passionate woman of guile
He'd be there in a minute
The heat won't diminish
He'd wear nothing more than a smile

Without him
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine

Charlie keep singin' that chanson
Your words always make so much sense
And though they're in French
I've got no defense
I know that I'm reaching the end

So, rumors, keep flying around me
It's you I refuse to believe
He's right 'round the corner
He knows that I'm home now
And nobody calls me naive

Without him
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine

From where you are,
you see the smoke start to arise,
where they play cards.
And you walk over, softly moving passed the guards.
The stakes are getting higher.
You can feel it in your heart.
He calls you bluff.
He is the ace you never thought he played that much.
And now it's more than all this cards you want to touch.
You never know if winning this could really be enough.

Take a look, beyond the moon you see the stars.
And when you look around, you know the room by heart.

I have never dreamed it.
Have you ever dreamed a night like this?
I cannot believe it.
I may never see a night like this.
When everything you think is incomplete.
Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek.
Could you ever dream it?
I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this.

How many times,
have I been waiting by the door to hear these chimes?
To hear that some one debonaire has just a arrived.
And opened up to see my world before my eyes.
That silhouette creates an image on the night I can't forget.
It has the scent of something special, I can't rest.
If I resist temptation, oh I know for sure that I will lose the bet.

I walk away and suddenly it seems I'm not alone.
In front of me he stands -- I stop, before he goes.

I have never dreamed it.
Have you ever dreamed a night like this?
I cannot believe it.
I may never see a night like this.
When everything you think is incomplete.
Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek.
Could you ever dream it?
I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this.

I have never dreamed it.
Have you ever dreamed a night like this?
I cannot believe it.
I may never see a night like this.
When everything you think is incomplete.
Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek.
Could you ever dream it?
I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this.

The clock has ticked eleven and the place is clear
Reality is kicking in and so is my beer
I don't make excuses when it's all my fault
If a heart is made of money he's cleaned out my vault

I feel a little wounded and it isn't fair
To sit inside a parlor and see him standing over there
As smug as a robber that a cop can't catch
The lipstick on his collar doesn't seem to match mine

(Mine, doesn't seem to match mine, mine)

Now Joe behind the bar is offering advice
Cause I'm a broken record and he has to tell me twice
Why don't I understand that he just can't change
I wanna be his woman not his weekend dame

Now Joe has eyes a'rollin' says it's just too bad
And he'll be back tomorrow for my heartbeat crash
I'd like to say goodbye, but hello is the match
Though the lipstick on his collar never seems to match mine

(Never seem to match, mine ooh, never seem to match)

This line is disconnected

(Mine, oohohohooh, match mine, yeah hey yeah)
