Yes yes yes
I'm gonna wear this fancy dress
No no no
Not gonna tell you where I go
No no no
Yes yes yes
I've got those high heels to impress
No no no
Not gonna take you where I go
No no no
I'll be walking down the street
Shoes ashining' on my feet
Boy you gotta recognise
Girl's got skills to hypnotise
Such a clever kind of guy
Gotta know the reason why
Girls just wanna have some fun
And my fun has just begun
Yes yes yes
I'm gonna leave this awful mess
No no no
Not gonna tell you where I go
No no no
Yes yes yes
I'm on a highway to success
No no no
Not gonna take you where I go
No no no
I'll be walking down the street
Shoes ashinin' on my feet
Boy you gotta recognise
Girl's got skills to hypnotise
Such a clever kind of guy
Gotta know the reason why
Girls just wanna have some fun
And my fun has just begun

Your Broken Girl
03:24
|
|||
|
Sit down, let's talk about it
Pretend that it will work
Ask you one more time
Why do you always lurk?
I know that I'm not perfect
But you don't let me heal
Break my heart when you find me
I don't see the appeal
Maybe you're a sadist or you're just a little dim
You cannot bear being alone, you want to make me grim
No matter how I push you away
I always seem to be your broken girl
No matter how I push you away
I always seem to be your broken girl
You leave without a warning
Then you will come back strolling
Then you get angry with me
For my constant worry
You always say you love me
Those superficial words
Whenever you come back again
I feel like a caged bird
Maybe you're a sadist or you're just a little dim
You cannot bear being alone, you want to make me grim
No matter how I push you away
I always seem to be your broken girl
No matter how I push you away
I always seem to be your broken girl

Nostalgia Rings
04:27
|

2 AM the city lights my room
I'm lying floored inside the gloom
Melodies of songs pulling at my strings
Pick up the phone nostalgia rings
We want the past, what we have lost or what we cannot have
The time glossed over in a haze, those happy younger days
Afraid to ruin paradise
So instead I dry my eyes
Fragments sink into my mind
This suffering I do not mind
Can someone tell me will it disappear
This foreign place that I hold dear
If I go and visit it again
Will sunshine I imagined turn to rain
We want the past, what we have lost or what we cannot have
The time glossed over in a haze, those happy younger days
Afraid to ruin paradise
So instead I dry my eyes
Fragments sink into my mind
This suffering I do not mind
We want the past, what we have lost or what we cannot have
The time glossed over in a haze, those happy younger days
Afraid to ruin paradise
So instead I dry my eyes
Fragments sink into my mind
This suffering I do not mind

For You And Me
02:46
|
|||
|
Snowflakes dancing on the ground
Fairy lights aglow
Joyful music, merry crowds
Everywhere we go.
Sleigh bells ring
Children sing
'Round the Christmas tree
Many hopes this night will bring
One for you and me.
Morning scares away the charms
Snowflakes turn to rain
But
As long as I'm in your arms
I do not complain.
Earth will spin
Birds will sing
Every moment of
Happiness this life will bring
When we are in love

Magic Eyes
05:27
|
|||
|
When the stars are out
And the night is new
I can see no stars
All I see is you
I can see no moon
Gliding through the skies
I'm forever lost
In your magic eyes
If you just say
I'd run away with you
I'd give my heart
I'd risk my life for you
But I'd stay away my love
If you only say my love
When the sun is up
And the day is due
I can see no sun
All I see is you
I can see no clouds
Gliding through the skies
I'm forever drowned
In your magic eyes
If you just say
I'd run away with you
I'd give my heart
I'd risk my life for you
But I'd stay away my love
If you only say my love

Take A Chance
03:16
|
|||
|
Take a chance,
And dare to hold my hand.
Steal a glance,
I might just look back.
Who will know
And who will dare to see
That you and I
Were simply meant to be
Were simply meant to be
Within reach,
I like to keep you close.
Speak to me,
Mellifluous prose.
Who will know
And who will dare to see
That you and I
Were simply meant to be
Were simply meant to be
Stay with me,
We’ve got the world to roam.
Where we’re gonna be,
With you it’s always home.

All The World Is Love
03:50
|
|||
|
Come away with me
Leave your fears behind
There’s so much to see
And so much to find
We could reach the stars
Smiling up above
All the world is ours
All the world is love
If you care to find
If you dare to see
Leave your fears behind
Come along with me
We could chase the clouds
Running up above
All the world is ours
All the world is love

Uncertain Love
03:27
|
|||
|
Raindrops on my window
Echo in my heart
Never-ending winds blow
Tearing us apart.
You protect your distance
I enjoy my space
Bored of coexistence
Scared of losing face.
We both know it's time to stop pretending
Time to let it go
We embraced the imminence of ending
Long ago.
Yet you're still all tenderness and kindness
All I'm thinking of
Is you. Is this our comfortable blindness
Or love, we're still in love?
Rain is slowly painting
Gloomy skies in grey
We are tired of waiting
Who braves out to say.
You're so self-reliant
I'm so self-contained
Helplessly defiant
Painfully constrained.
Yet you're still all tenderness and kindness
All I'm thinking of
Is you. Is this our comfortable blindness
Or love? We're still in love...

Out of Life
03:21
|

|
Open doors, broken hearts.
Our life is just a game of cards.
You throw your trumps and aces,
My hand is getting weak.
Why should I care which card you gonna pick?
Hazy shadows, wicked dreams.
Our life is never what it seems.
Your lips are soft and tender
But every smile you fake.
Why should I care which move you gonna make?
Cry for love and make my day,
Stay with love but stay away.
I wake up way too early to go brush my teeth,
My reflection is broken but at least it still exists,
Microwave dings and my breakfast is ready,
I take a bite of this and I’m stuffed already.
I pick up my feelings, how heavy – damn,
My friends always complain how cold hearted I am,
But I don’t mind, I feel fine, still alive, cloud nine,
Still a bit of time before the last supper of mine.
This is the place I was born, the place I was raised,
How I survived this long I am still amazed,
I was always told that I gotta stay strong,
I gotta teach myself to tell from right to wrong.
I gotta be educated, liberated, sophisticated lady,
But how on earth do I get there already?
Decision is torture, uncertainty is pain,
That is how badly you have messed up my brain.
Cry for love and make my day,
Stay with love but stay away.
Odd or even, win or lose.
Should I care which way you gonna chose?
We’re meant to be together
But we’re so miles apart,
My mind resists to let me trust my heart…

Dead of Night
01:25
|
|||
|
You go into the dead of night
And see me crystal clear
I shine so bright in the moonlight
Why beg to disappear
So odd and strange I’m so deranged
As you don’t seem to get
It’s time to change it’s all arranged
This night you won’t forget
I’ll hunt you down you make me frown
I’m sharpening my claws
You run away it’s time to play
There is no time to pause
