(Kim Carnes)

Irresistible you I bet you knew
About everything in this world
A winning show lettin' everyone know
They were lucky just to be your girl
I should have know better than
To get mixed up with you

You swept me off my feet
Turned me around
Took my heart and then you took me down
You swept me off my feet
And like a fool I fell
I fell straight to you
Now I can tell ya how it feels
To play the part of the fool
How it feels
To have the heart of the fool

So debonair with a gentleman's flair
You asked me out one evenin'
And though I tried to conceal how you make me feel
You knew just what I was thinkin'
And before I knew it
I was mixed up with you

You swept me off my feet
Turned me around
Took my heart and then you took me down
You swept me off my feet
And like a fool I fell
I fell straight to you
Now I can tell ya how it feels
To play the part of the fool
How it feels
To have the heart of the fool

I guess you pulled it off
You're a winner again
And I've got to hand it to ya
Cause I'm still entranced still romanced
And honey I stil love ya
But I should have known better than
To get mixed up with you

You swept me off my feet
Turned me around
Took my heart and then you took me down
You swept me off my feet
And like a fool I fell
I fell straight to you
Now I can tell ya how it feels
To play the part of the fool
How it feels
To have the heart of the fool

When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well I know now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

As I look back on a love so sweet
I cry like a baby
Every road is a loney street
I cry like a baby

Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And like a fool
I began to cry

When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby

(Kim Carnes)

Oh how I hate when it's over
To say good-bye
No one could say we didn't give it a good try
Went straight for the heart with all we could feel
You gave me the best part
And I gave you my heart

Will you remember me
Will I be just another lover
In you memory
Long after tonight
And for as far as I can see
I'll remember you
Will you remember me

Don't turn out the light
Cause there's more to be said
There's a bottle of wine
We haven't finished yet
Guess it's all in the way
We live for today
You gave me the best part
And I gave you my heart

Will you remember me
Will I be just another lover
In you memory
Long after tonight
And for as far as I can see
I'll remember you
Will you remember me

(N Chinn/M Chapman)

Straight out a' Texas
Down around San Antoine
Comin' straight out of heaven
Sweeter than you've ever known
Don't let me hear that sweet kid's name
Get your hands on me and I'll drive you insane
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart

Now you've been seen in the back of a limousine
I may not ouwn it but it's bigger than you've ever seen
Now don't talk to me about the girls that you knew
Cause they can't do what this girl can do
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart

Your legs start shakin' every time you call my name
You're no heart breaker but you know you'll never be the same
Now don't talk to me about the girls that you knew
Cause they can't do what this girl can do
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart

I can't say goodbye to the sights of San Antoine
Headin' to Hollywood High
And there I'm gonna make my home
And now I don't give a damn about the things that they've seen
They ain't seen nothin' like a Texas queen

Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

Just before you go could we talk a while
Maybe my ol' face could make you smile
I know you haven't said all that's on your mind
We always used to keep an open line

People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
I'm gonna miss you I'm gonna miss you

Try to hold the sun when it's sinking low
Try to keep away the lonely night
Try to make you stay when you wanna go
And nothin' that I say can make things right

People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
I'm gonna miss you I'm gonna miss you

Just before you go could we talk a while
Maybe my ol' face could make you smile
Guess every dream is just like sand in the hand
Hold it too hard and it's gone

People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
I'm gonna miss you I'm gonna miss you

Let it be soon don't hesitate
Make it now don't wait
Open your heart and let my love come in
I want the moment to start
When I can fill your heart with

More love and more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
Oh honey now my love will be so sound
It'll take a hundred life times
To live it down
Wear it down
Tear it down

This is no fiction this is no act
This is real it's a fact
I'll always belong only to you
Each day I'll be living to
Make sure I'm giving you

More love and more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
Oh honey now my love will be so sound
It'll take a hundred life times
To live it down
Wear it down
Tear it down

As we grow older no need to fear
When you need me
I'll be beside you every step of the way
A heart that's truthful
And keeping you youthful with

More love and more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
Oh honey now my love will be so sound
It'll take a hundred life times
To live it down
Wear it down
Tear it down

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

Oh every soul
Needs to have someone
Needs to have someone to hold his hand
And every hand needs to hold on to
The hand of another
The hand of a friend

But it's alright babe
Cause I know how you feel
Deep in the night babe
When you feel the chill
The chill of the night babe
When you turn out the light babe
I'll hold you tight babe
If you will in the night babe
In the chill of the night babe

Are you looking for someone
Someone you can talk to
You know I don't expect you to always be strong
I'll be around long after midnight
We'll sit by the firelight
Talkin' you down

But it's alright babe
Cause I know how you feel
Deep in the night babe
When you feel the chill
The chill of the night babe
When you turn out the light babe
I'll hold you tight babe
If you will in the night babe
In the chill of the night babe

Put a light in the window
And just keep it burning
Cause whenever you need me I come to you
Cause every heart that keeps on beating
Needs to have someone
He can always turn to
In the chill of the night
In the chill of the night babe

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

Just look at us aren't we a sing of the times
We can't seem to work it out
I'm over here and you're over there
And what's needed is a turn-a-bout
Now every time
I try and look you straight in the eye
And say hey

Where is your heart
Where does it lie
Tell me where
Where is your heart
And why can't I break through
When all I wanna do is hold on to you
Ooh what's a girl to do
And where is your heart

Who's gonna get the prize this time
Who's gonna win the game
Seems like eveybody's dyin' of a broken heart
And nobody is to blame
Every time
I try and look you straight in the eye
And say hey

Where is your heart
Where does it lie
Tell me where
Where is your heart
And why can't I break through
When all I wanna do is hold on to you
Ooh what's a girl to do
And where is your heart

Independence so you say that you want to be
On our own again
Well take your shot
But if it's not right
To be out there all alone again
Come back to me
So I can look you straight in the eye
And say hey

Where is your heart
Where does it lie
Tell me where
Where is your heart
And why can't I break through
When all I wanna do is hold on to you
Ooh what's a girl to do
And where is your heart

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

You're the poets finest song
And like a painter you can move me with your sunrise
Touch me with the look I see in your eyes
And I fall again

In the silence after love
With the words that go unsaid I'll understand you
Things may not work out the way we've planned them to
But I'll fall again

Loves been called a game
Winner takes it all
And everyone who plays
Plays knowing he could fall
And if love's a game
I'd rather lose to you
Than win with someone else
And still be loving you

When the love songs have all been sung
And time has taken down its last December
You will be the one love I'll remember and I'll fall again
For like the fool I am
I'll be the pawn again
Move me as you will
I've always given in
And if love's a game
I'd rather lose to you
Than win with someone else
And still be loving you
