Inside me
Feels like I've never been here before
And yet this place seems so familiar to me
This feeling of being so insecure
So gently hands me what I always did seek
You stole my loving once again
I've lost my heart and soul
And you will never understand
I'm so unable to be strong
I'll catch the first cloud that'll pass by this town
And I will fly away from here
A sweet sensation a new direction and love will burn inside me
Am I the only one to blame?
So tell me right now who is wrong and who's right
Or are you just afraid to say
I've got the whole world on my side?
You stole my loving once again
I've lost my heart and soul
And you will never understand
I'm so unable to be strong
I'll catch the first cloud that'll pass by this town
And I will fly away from here
A sweet sensation a new direction and love will burn inside me
And yet this place seems so familiar to me
This feeling of being so insecure
So gently hands me what I always did seek
You stole my loving once again
I've lost my heart and soul
And you will never understand
I'm so unable to be strong
I'll catch the first cloud that'll pass by this town
And I will fly away from here
A sweet sensation a new direction and love will burn inside me
Am I the only one to blame?
So tell me right now who is wrong and who's right
Or are you just afraid to say
I've got the whole world on my side?
You stole my loving once again
I've lost my heart and soul
And you will never understand
I'm so unable to be strong
I'll catch the first cloud that'll pass by this town
And I will fly away from here
A sweet sensation a new direction and love will burn inside me

(She fades away) Like the sun
Cold sweat when she's in front of me
I can't, just cannot find the words
If she knew what she means to me
I would not feel like a worm
I don't know what to say
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
Bright eyes are piercing through my heart
A sign could be enough for me
Coz I, I just can't speak my mind
Does she, does she wanna stay with me?
But now it's just too late
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
Will she ever come back?
Will she ever understand?
I wanna be with her
I wanna be with her
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
She fades away like the sun
She fades away like the sun
She fades away like the sun
I can't, just cannot find the words
If she knew what she means to me
I would not feel like a worm
I don't know what to say
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
Bright eyes are piercing through my heart
A sign could be enough for me
Coz I, I just can't speak my mind
Does she, does she wanna stay with me?
But now it's just too late
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
Will she ever come back?
Will she ever understand?
I wanna be with her
I wanna be with her
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
She fades away like the sun
She fades away like the sun
She fades away like the sun

Waiting for you
This dark room is reflecting
Just how my soul feels
All that I've been expecting
Drifts away from me
While I'm still waiting for you
And I, I am facing the truth
Am I destined to die all alone
If your heart is made out of stone?
The words you've said fill my head
Arrows through my heart
Everything makes little sense
Like ˝Why did we part?˝
While I'm still waiting for you
And I, I am facing the truth
Am I destined to die all alone
If your heart is made out of stone?
Bad memories are fading
Making place for hope
And I know what is blazing
Inside me it's love
While I'm still waiting for you
And I, I am facing the truth
Am I destined to die all alone
If your heart is made out of stone?
Just how my soul feels
All that I've been expecting
Drifts away from me
While I'm still waiting for you
And I, I am facing the truth
Am I destined to die all alone
If your heart is made out of stone?
The words you've said fill my head
Arrows through my heart
Everything makes little sense
Like ˝Why did we part?˝
While I'm still waiting for you
And I, I am facing the truth
Am I destined to die all alone
If your heart is made out of stone?
Bad memories are fading
Making place for hope
And I know what is blazing
Inside me it's love
While I'm still waiting for you
And I, I am facing the truth
Am I destined to die all alone
If your heart is made out of stone?

The one I let go
We were having a few drinks that night
And we were enjoying such a splendid time
One thing led to another, she said ˝Come on, love,
Why don't you take me home?˝
We went back to mine, she slipped into my bed
And in a moment she was giving me all she had
We spent the night sharing each other's love
But the very next morning she was gone...because
She's the one I let go
Oh what a fool I've been
She's the one I let go
Oh Lord how stupid I've been
No need to tell me now it was all my fault
And I'm aware that I can't change my lot
I had a shining star, I let it fall
And now I'm here on my own...because
She's the one I let go
Oh what a fool I've been
She's the one I let go
Oh Lord how stupid I've been
And we were enjoying such a splendid time
One thing led to another, she said ˝Come on, love,
Why don't you take me home?˝
We went back to mine, she slipped into my bed
And in a moment she was giving me all she had
We spent the night sharing each other's love
But the very next morning she was gone...because
She's the one I let go
Oh what a fool I've been
She's the one I let go
Oh Lord how stupid I've been
No need to tell me now it was all my fault
And I'm aware that I can't change my lot
I had a shining star, I let it fall
And now I'm here on my own...because
She's the one I let go
Oh what a fool I've been
She's the one I let go
Oh Lord how stupid I've been

Broken heart blues
Sweet little mama tell me, I'm in despair
Walking in the dark, sweet little mama, I might get hurt
Need to know, need to know where my baby's gone
Coz I'm tired of singing this broken heart blues all night long
Sweet little mama I've been searching low and high
I feel like crying, sweet little mama, I just can't find
My sweet love, my sweet love, will she ever dawn?
Coz I'm tired of singing this broken heart blues all night long
Yes I am, yes I am mama
Please, please help me!
Walking in the dark, sweet little mama, I might get hurt
Need to know, need to know where my baby's gone
Coz I'm tired of singing this broken heart blues all night long

My sweet love, my sweet love, will she ever dawn?
Coz I'm tired of singing this broken heart blues all night long
Yes I am, yes I am mama
Please, please help me!

Stranger in your heart
The moon is dark
Covered by clouds
And it won't shine
To remove my doubts
And you just won't help
How can you tell me
Ev'rything's alright
How can you swear
You're doing fine
When I can see
Teardrops in your eyes
You can't hide your feelings from me (2x)
Our life together
Lately has changed
I feel like a stranger
In your heart these days
Am I the one to blame
How can you tell me
Ev'rything's alright
How can you swear
You're doing fine
When I can see
Teardrops in your eyes
You can't hide your feelings from me (2x)
Covered by clouds
And it won't shine
To remove my doubts
And you just won't help
How can you tell me
Ev'rything's alright
How can you swear
You're doing fine
When I can see
Teardrops in your eyes
You can't hide your feelings from me (2x)
Our life together
Lately has changed
I feel like a stranger
In your heart these days
Am I the one to blame
How can you tell me
Ev'rything's alright
How can you swear

When I can see
Teardrops in your eyes
You can't hide your feelings from me (2x)

Sweet as honey
I like the way you walk, baby
I like the way you talk
Ev'rything about you, baby
Makes me feel so small
You're so sweet, sweet as honey
The more I get to know you, baby
The more I lose control
Coz you fill that gap, baby
Right inside my heart
You're so sweet, sweet as honey
No one understands me, baby
Just the way you do
No one satisfies me, baby
As much as you do
You're so sweet, sweet as honey
I like the way you talk
Ev'rything about you, baby
Makes me feel so small
You're so sweet, sweet as honey
The more I get to know you, baby
The more I lose control
Coz you fill that gap, baby
Right inside my heart
You're so sweet, sweet as honey
No one understands me, baby
Just the way you do
No one satisfies me, baby
As much as you do
You're so sweet, sweet as honey

All I can give you
Before you close that door behind you
And leave me here all alone
There is something I wanna tell you
Something that you ought to know
If what you want to live is a big lie
Of flashy cars and jewellery
And start building castles in the sky
This is the reality:
All I can give you is my love I'm sorry if that's not enough To me you're more precious than diamonds My heart won't just let it go
I am not gonna try to stop you
If you want to go with him
I just wish you could realise you'll
Never find somebody like me
All I can give you is my love
I'm sorry if that's not enough
To me you're more precious than diamonds
My heart won't just let it go
And leave me here all alone
There is something I wanna tell you
Something that you ought to know
If what you want to live is a big lie
Of flashy cars and jewellery
And start building castles in the sky
This is the reality:
All I can give you is my love I'm sorry if that's not enough To me you're more precious than diamonds My heart won't just let it go
I am not gonna try to stop you
If you want to go with him
I just wish you could realise you'll
Never find somebody like me
All I can give you is my love
I'm sorry if that's not enough
To me you're more precious than diamonds
My heart won't just let it go

Wicked mind
She's not looking for love
She's come to steal your soul
She knows what she wants
She does want it all
She is in control
Of your deepest thoughts
And she'll carry on
Till her job is done
She's got a wicked mind (8x)
She's come to steal your soul
She knows what she wants
She does want it all
She is in control
Of your deepest thoughts
And she'll carry on
Till her job is done
She's got a wicked mind (8x)

So cool
Ear ring and leather jacket
While he's walking down the street
He's got a pair of blue jeans and some brand new big black boots
And all the girls are thinking
He's so cool (6x)
He knows he's got his groove on
You can tell by the way he moves
I bet he's got no troubles and his life is just a hoot
Coz all the girls are thinking
He's so cool (6x)
Tell me how do you do it
Tell me what is your secret
Do you think you could show me
And all the girls will be thinking
He's so cool (6x)

Going up in smoke
Put my dreams in a plastic box
Rising steam and melting rocks
Sale of lies, hunted fox
Frozen time, broken clocks
I'm just going up in smoke
Master key I can't find
Burning tree I've lost my mind
I'm just going up in smoke
Here we go!
Rising steam and melting rocks
Sale of lies, hunted fox
Frozen time, broken clocks
I'm just going up in smoke
Master key I can't find
Burning tree I've lost my mind
I'm just going up in smoke
Here we go!

Heaven in disguise
She's so sweet, you wouldn't believe
She's a wet dream that has just been released
She is heaven in disguise
One day I know she will be mine, oh my
She is heaven in disguise
She gives me something that I cannot describe
It’s such a deep thrill that is running down my spine
She is heaven in disguise
One day I know she will be mine, oh my
She is heaven in disguise
Now I feel fine, like I never felt before
I was so blind, stranded, face down on the floor
She's a wet dream that has just been released
She is heaven in disguise
One day I know she will be mine, oh my
She is heaven in disguise
She gives me something that I cannot describe
It’s such a deep thrill that is running down my spine
She is heaven in disguise
One day I know she will be mine, oh my
She is heaven in disguise
Now I feel fine, like I never felt before
I was so blind, stranded, face down on the floor
