Is it so hard to satisfy your senses?
You found out to love me you have to climb some fences
Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you
And just when it feels right you say you found someone to hold you
Does she like I do?

Baby, tell me does she love you like the way I love you?
Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you?
Tell me does she miss you, existing just to kiss you, like the way I do?
Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you?
Does she know just how to shock you, electrify and rock you?
Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you like the way I do?

Can I survive... all the implications?
Even if I tried... could you be less than an addiction?
Don't you think I know... there's so many others.
Who would beg, steal and lie, fight, kill and die
Just to hold you, hold you like I do

Baby, tell me does she love you like the way I love you?
Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you?
Tell me does she miss you, existing just to kiss you, like the way I do?
Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you?
Does she know just how to shock you, electrify and rock you?
Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you like the way I do?

Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody wants you like the way I do
Nobody needs you like the way I do
Nobody aches, nobody aches just to hold you like the way I do

No, no, no
Tell me does she love you like the way I love you?
Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you?
Baby, baby, tell me does she miss you, existing just to kiss you, like the way I do?
No, tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you?
Does she know just how to shock you, electrify and rock you?
Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you, baby, like the way I do?
No, like the way I do, oh oh yeah

I used to think that I could not go on
That life was nothing but an awful song
But now I now the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it then I can do it
If I just believe it there’s nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can sour
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking out
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I now it starts inside of me

If I can see it then I can do it
If I just believe it there’s nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can saw
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

Cause I believe in you

If I can see it then I can be it
If I just believe it there’s nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can saw
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered from alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me

I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven has sent down to me

You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you turned out to be

Come on, come on, come on, come on now

Didn't I make you feel, oh baby, like you were the only one
Baby didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can
Honey you know that I did
Cos each time I tell myself that I, I think I've had enough
Oh, I am gonna show you baby, that a woman can be tough

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now darling
Yeah, have a, have another little piece of my heart now baby
Cos you know you got it and it makes you feel good
Yes it does

Yeah you're out on the street, babe you're looking good
Deep down in your heart, you know that it ain't right
No, no
Cos you never never never hear me when I cry out at night
Honey I cry all the time
And each time I tell myself that I can stand the pain
Oh you take me in your arms, I sing it once again

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now darling, yeah
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now baby
Cos you know you got it, it makes you feel --
It makes you feel so good
Babe makes you feel so, it makes you wow
You know sometimes it makes you feel so... good

[story]

Come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now darling
Darling yeah, have a, have another little piece of my heart now baby
Cos you know you got it, wow hey-yeah

Take another little piece of my
Another little piece of my heart baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now, oh now
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now baby
Cos you know you got it, it makes you feel --
Baby if it makes you feel so good, yeah

I'm Living For A Fantasy - Something That Can Never Be
'Cause All The Love You Have To Give Was Never Meant
Never Meant For Me
I See The Way You Look At Him-
He's Everything You're Living For
Love Is Such A Miracle When It Comes
Knocking At Your Door But
I Don't Know What To Do - I'm In Love Too
Can't See Where I'm Supposed To Go From Here 'Cause

Chorus
There's No Way In - There's No Way Out
You're The One I'm Living For
You're The One I Have To Live Without
I Can't Hold On - I Can't Let Go
'Cause I Have Found The Greatest Love
The Greatest Love We'll Never Know

I'd Love To Make You Cross The Line
But I Know You're Not The Hurting Kind
You Wouldn't Be The Girl You Are
If You Broke His Heart - Broke His Heart For Mine
So Until I Find My Way
Tomorrow's Just Another Day
And You Are Just A Lonely Dream
That Never Ever Seems To Fade

Chorus

Someone Hear My Prayer
Someone Somewhere
'Cause I Know I Can't Go On This Way Forever

There's No Way In - There's No Way Out
You're The One I'm Living For
You're The One I Have To Live Without
I Can't Hold On - I Can't Let Go
'Cause I Have Found The Greatest Love
The Greatest Love We'll Never Know

We'll Never Laugh - We'll Never Cry
Our Love Can't Live - But My Love Will Never Die Ooooh

Somebody Hear My Prayer
Somebody Hear My Prayer

Chorus
There's No Way In - There's No Way Out
You're The One I'm Living For
You're The One I Have To Live Without
I Can't Hold On  - I Can't Let Go
'Cause I Have Found The Greatest Love, Yes I Have
The Greatest Love We'll Never Know

I'm Living For A Fantasy, Something That Can Never Be

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

(Chorus)
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think

(Repeat chorus)

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic… and yeah I really do think...

(Repeat chorus)

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out.

How do I get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my life

And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live?

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
And I, oh Baby, I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything real in my life

And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live?

Please tell me baby
How do I go on?

If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby, don't you know that you're everything good in my life

And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live?

How do I live without you?
How do I live without you baby?
How do I live.... (to fade)

What will you do when you get lonely?
No one waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long;
You know, it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you got me on my knees, Layla
I'm begging darling please, Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

I tried to give you consolation;
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you;
You turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you got me on my knees, Layla
I'm begging darling please, Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla, you got me on my knees, Layla
I'm begging darling please, Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla, you got me on my knees, Layla
I'm begging darling please, Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
Where’s the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
Destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
