She was all of a lady, you were all of sixteen,
You were king of the mountain, she was your queen.
You played in the sunshine, you danced in the rain,
It was so easy, when love was a game.
But, everybody's

Chorus
Three times in love.
Two times ain't enough, only one shines above,
Everybody's three times in love.

Lovers get older, summer goes away,
You knew that it was over so you looked the other way.
Suddenly before you, your second time around,
Ah, you're older and wiser and you're covering a lot of ground.
But, everybody's
repeat Chorus

[Over and over and over again.]
Now that you're ready, she comes along,
Your ways are steady and your feelings are strong.
She is all of your ladies, you are every man.
You've both been waiting to find each other, now you understand
Why everybody's
repeat Chorus until fade out

We're finally alone.
Ain't nobody home.
You look so good and alive to love.
I know I should, but I just can't go, oh, I

I'm burnin' inside.
It's gettin' harder to hide.
And when you touch me I lose my head;
Caught like a fly in a spider web.

Whoa, you got me
Where you want me.
Don't you stop me, now, don't leave it this way. Oooh.
Yeah, you got me [yes, you do]
Where you want me [want you to]
Don't you tell me, now, you just wanna play;
You got me this way. Mmm. Hmm.

I know it for sure.
I can't wait for more.
Ain't nothin' more we can talk about.
It's gettin' late, time is runnin' out.

No, you got me
Where you want me.
Don't you stop me, now, don't leave it this way. Oooh.
Yeah, you got me [yes, you do]
Where you want me [want you to].
Don't you tell me, now, you just wanna play;
You got me this way.

I can't wait for more.
Oh, you got me [yeah, you do]
Where you want me [want you to]
Don't you tell me, now, you just wanna play. Oooh.
Yeah, you got me [got the way]
Where you want me [wanna stay]
Don't you stop me, now, don't leave it this way. No.
Yeah, you got me (fade)

Nobody ever told him it was gonna be easy.
Nobody took the time to tell him what to do.
Small town couldn't keep him from the lights of the city;
Big dreams have a way of doin' that to you.
And in his mind, he knew just the way it would happen.
He had the look of a champion in his eyes.
He took a chance with a ticket on a train to glory.
He didn't know he was in for a big surprise.
He was a shy boy, such a shy boy.
He had a new kind of style. He was a million to one.
He had a way with his smile and he was learnin' to run.
He was a shy boy [shy boy], Lord, such a shy boy.
It could've happened to you, it could've happened to me;
He could've been anything that he wanted to be.

Everybody always said that they knew he would make it.
And hometown is the last one to say it so.
Pretty soon, the fast life was makin' him lonely.
That's somethin' that you just never let them know.
You keep keepin' in on and that's a nasty habit.
But that's what you gotta do when you're glory bound.
And all he wanted was time, but he didn't have it;
That glory train is the hardest one to slow down.
He was a shy boy, such a shy boy.
He had a new kind of style. He was a million to one.
He had a way with his smile and he was learnin' to run.
He was a shy boy [shy boy], oh, such a shy boy.
It could've happened to you, it could've happened to me;
He could've been anything that he wanted to be.

I heard it on the radio this morning:
Another star has fallen from the sky.
How come there was nobody there to warn him?
Why do all the dreamers have to die?
He was a shy boy [shy boy], such a shy boy.
He had a new kind of style. He was a million to one.
He had a way with his smile and he was learnin' to run.
He was a shy boy [shy boy], Lord, such a shy boy.
It could've happened to you, it could've happened to me;
He could've been anything that he wanted to be.
Except a shy boy [shy boy], oh, such a shy boy.
He had a new kind of style. He was a million to one.
He had a way with his smile and he was learnin' to run.
He was a shy boy [shy boy].
[shy boy]

Well, I'm standin' here with my heart in my hand
And what you're sayin' to me, I just don't understand you'd say.
[It's over; it's over.]
And I feel like a fool. I got nothing to say.
I try to look in your eyes, but you're turnin' away. Oh, no.
[Oooh, baby, it's crazy.]
And the way that I feel isn't easy to hide.
I try to be tough but I'm dyin' inside. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
She says it's all over now, she's runnin' out on love.
Somebody please tell me how, how I'm gonna make it.
I can't believe you're gonna walk out the door.
I can't believe that you don't love me no more.
Some bad time comin' and she's runnin' out on love,
She's runnin' out on love.

Well, do I stand in your way or do I let you go?
Would it do any good? Baby, I don't know. Oh, yeah.
[Heart breakin'; heart achin'.]
Well, if that's what you want, well I won't even try
'Cause I've never been good at sayin' goodbye. Oh, no. Oh, no.
She says it's all over now, she's runnin' out on love.
Somebody please tell me how, how I'm gonna make it.
What do you do when you're fallin' apart?
What do you do when someone's breakin' your heart?
Some bad time comin'; she's runnin' out on love. Oooh-hoo.

She says it's all over now, she's runnin' out on love.
Somebody please tell me how I'm gonna make it.

Carry me back, I don't wanna be here. [Don't wanna be here.]
Take me back. Take me home. [Take me home.]
I've been gone for such a long time. [Such a long time.]
Won't you get me back [Get me back.] where I belong? [I belong.]
Runnin' so hard to find my freedom
And I lost myself [Lost myself.] along the way. [Along the way.]
And it's gettin' too dark to travel on; [To travel on.]
Much too late for me to stay. Oh, too late to stay.
Carry me back. I don't belong here.
I need to be with people, people like me.
Oh, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.


Makin' my way down a hard road; [Down a hard road.]
Miles and miles, [Miles and miles.] day to day. [Day to day.]
Lookin' too close to see the magic [See the magic.]
And lookin' for love [Lookin' for love.] too far away. [Too far away.]
Takin' a look around the corner:
I close my eyes; [Close my eyes.] I can't take no more.
Another street of only strangers,
But I've seen 'em all before.
Oh, seen 'em all before.
So, carry me back. I don't belong here.
I need to be with people, people like me.
Oh, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.

Oh, carry me back. I don't belong here.
Yeah, I need to be with people, people like me.
Yeah, carry me back. Everything is wrong here.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be.
Carry me back, [Carry me back.] I don't wanna be here. [I don't wanna be here.]
Take me back. [Take me back.] Take me home. [Take me home.]
I've been gone [I've been gone.] for such a long time. [Such a long time.]
Get me back where I belong.
Oh, where I belong.

It used to be such a good thing, such an easy feelin'.
I never thought you were looking, didn't know you were stealin'.
I was lovin' you when we were alone, but you had other ideas of your own.
Word gets around. Don't bring me down.

Used to have us some good times, we used to laugh together.
It took a while to realize you were wantin' somethin' better.
When we were kissin', I closed my eyes, but you were lookin' at the other guys.
I played the clown. Don't bring me down.

It used to be such a good thing, such an easy feelin'.
I didn't know you were looking, didn't know you were stealin'.
I went and messed it up and fell in love. But you sure know how to make it rough.
You're still around. Don't bring me down.

And she sits with a cup of coffee, lights another cigarette,
Stares out the kitchen window, and wonders if that's all she gets.
She thinks about back in high school, turns on the radio,
But the old songs just remind her what she was a long time ago.
Ooh, she's lookin' for a rainbow, all she knows.
Ooh, lookin' for a magic rainbow day in the snow.
Hey, girl, don't be so hard on yourself,
You're only like everyone else and we all go through those changes.
Hey, girl, heaven still waits in your eyes
Even though time passes by as you're going through this world an everyday, ordinary girl.

And she looks at the ring on her finger, thinks about her wedding day,
That just gets her dreaming about the boy that got away.
And a kiss from a distant summer still lights up her eyes
And it brings back all the feelings like a thousand fireflies; ooh-ooh-ooh.
Oh, she's lookin' for a rainbow, all she knows.
Ooh, lookin' for a magic rainbow day in the snow.
Girl, don't be so hard on yourself,
You're only like everyone else and we all go through those changes.
Hey, girl, heaven still waits in your eyes
Even though time passes by as you're going through this world an everyday, ordinary girl.

(saxophone solo)

Even though time passes by as you're going through this world an everyday, ordinary girl;
A very special, ordinary girl.

And I'm face to face with a vision, something I saw in a dream.
And I reach out to touch; think I love you too much;
Things just ain't what they seem.
And all these feelings I'm feeling, that don't have a name
'Cause angels and strangers, they all look the same
Don't talk to strangers; don't believe what they say.
Don't pray to angels, they'll lead you astray.
Oh, I'm in love and I can't shake it. (angels, angels)
Well if this is love, then, I can't take it. (angels, angels)
Don't need no revelation take my heart and leave me shakin'.
Visions of love are filled with danger, angels, and strangers.

On the edge of temptation, goin' over the line.
Break my heart and my concentration, goin' out of my mind.
You know that I wanna love you. I wanna give you my heart.
But, angels and strangers, ooh, you can't tell them apart.
Don't talk to strangers; don't believe what they say.
Don't pray to angels, they'll lead you astray.
Oh, I'm in love and I can't shake it (I can't shake it) (angels, angels)
Well if this is love, then, I can't take it (I can't take it) (angels, angels)
Don't need no mystery lady (mystery lady) break my heart and make me crazy
Visions of love are filled with danger, angels, and strangers.

Visions of love, lovers unknown;
Angels and strangers, leave me alone.
One's out to love you, one's out betrayed;
Angels and strangers, just go away.
