Kim Carnes-Bette Davis Eyes










Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips, a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand-off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
She got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she snows you
'Cause she knows you
She's got Bette Davis eyes

Bananarama-Venus










Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night, she was
Got what no one else had

Wow
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire

Venus
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

Wow
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire

(Venus was her name)

Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it

Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it

Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it

 

[Teikoku]

It's my direction
It's my proposal
It's so hard
It's leading me astray

My obsession
It's my creation
You'll understand
It's not important now

All I need is
Co-ordination
I can't imagine
My destination
My intention
Ask my opinion
But no excuse
My feelings still remain

Pat Benetar-We Live For Love










Your love's contagious, one kiss is dangerous
I have more to risk than you to lose
I feel passion growing, I know that love is only
Just one inch away, it's dragging us

We live for love
We live for love

When we get tired and watch the summer fade away
Will you think of romance? What will we do?
Is there a place where we can go
Where time stands still for those who know?
'Til eternity, we'll fulfil our desire

We live for love
We live for love

We live for love
We live for love

I never planned to win the race
But you convinced me face to face
There was never a chance of losing at all

We live for love
We live for love

We live for love
We live for love

We live for love
We live for love

We live for love
We live for love

The Cure - Lullaby


On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight
And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry

Whitney Houston-Where Do Broken Hearts Go











Ooh
I know it's been sometime
I've had something on my mind
You see I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only things I've learned

Is that I need you desperately
So here I am, and can you please tell me, oh?

Where do broken hearts go?
Can they find their way home?
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you

Won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care for me
Ooh

I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No, you just can't run away
And what we had was so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind

So here I am, and can you please tell me, oh?
Where do broken hearts go?

Can they find their way home?
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you?

I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care for me
Now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go

I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know, oh
Where do broken... hearts go?
Can they find their way home?

Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes

And I know that you still care
Where do broken hearts go?
Can they find their way home?
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there

And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care for me

For me...
You still care
For me

Joan Jett-I Hate Myself For Loving You

Midnight, gettin' uptight, where are you?
You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you
Hey Jack, it's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
Ow! Uh

Daylight, spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I'm over being angry 'bout the hell you put me through
Hey, man, bet you can treat me right
You just don't know what you was missin' last night
I wanna see you begging, say forget it just for spite
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
Ow! Huh

I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away









I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself
I hate myself for loving you​

NKOTB-THE Right Stuff

The right stuff
The right stuff
First time was a great time
Second time was a blast
Third time I fell in love
Now I hope it lasts
I can see it in your walk
Tell 'em when you talk
See it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts

You got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You got the right stuff, baby
You're the reason why I sing this song
All that I needed was you
Oh girl, you're so right
Said all that I wanted was you
You made all my dreams come true

[Chorus: ]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff

Your first kiss was a sweet kiss
Second kiss had a twist
Third and your fourth kiss
I don't want to miss
I can see it in your walk
Tell 'em when you talk
See it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts

You got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You got the right stuff, baby
You're the reason why I sing this song
All that I needed was you
Oh girl, you're so right
Said all that I wanted was you
You made all.... every one of my dreams come true

[Repeat Chorus ]

The right stuff, girl, yeah baby, yeah
You know you got the right stuff
And girl, yeah, baby
You know, you know you got it, girl

In my life, you're so right
You made all.... you know what you did

Bananarama-Love Truth & Honesty











Never trust your own emotions
They'll always let you down
And the one that's closest to you
May not always be around

I never questioned
The promises you made
Every time I gave my heart
I was betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

Maybe everyone's a stranger
I watch them come and go
But I think everyone's in danger
If they let their feelings show

There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Don't let it be betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me

There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Don't let it be betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time

Tina Turner-The Best

R.I.P.










I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need

Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
MMm, and it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby

You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

In your heart, I see the star of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place

You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Don't tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

Each time you leave me, I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone
Oh baby, don't let go

Ooh, you're the best, ooh
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Don't tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
You're the best

Ooh, you're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, baby
I hang on every word you say
Don't tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

Oh, you're the best
You're better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
Ooh, you're the best

Tina Turner-Better Be Good To Me










A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell
Captured
Oh yes I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should I, should I

Oh, you better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And you better be good to me
Yeah, you better be good
Come on, come on, be good to me

I think it's also right
That we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
Yes I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do want to believe
But did you think I'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you

But, you better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me
Yeah, you better be good, good to me
Be good to me

And I really don't see
Why it's so hard to be good to me
And you know, I don't understand
What's your plan that you can't be good to me
What I can't feel I surely cannot see
Why can't you be good to me
And if it's not real I do not wish to see

Why don't you be good to me
Why can't you be good to me
Why can't you be good to me
Why can't you be good to me
Why can't you be good to me
Why can't you be good to me
Be good, be good to me

Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And I don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
So, you better be good to me
Yeah, you better be good
Better be good to me
Better be good
Cause I don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
And I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And you better be good to me
Be good to me
Be good, be good to me
Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And I don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me
Better be good to me
Be good, be good to me
Why can't you be good me
