Woo-woo Dear mummy, Dear Daddy, You had plans forme, I was your only son. And long before this baby boy could count to three, You knew just what he would become.
Run along to school, No child of mine grows up a fool, Run along to school.
When you tried to tell me what to do, I just shut my mouth and smiled at you, One thing that I know for sure-
BAD BOYS Stick together, never Sad Boys GOOD GUYS They made rules for fools, so get wise...
Dear Mummy, Dear Daddy, Now I'm nineteen as you see, I'm handsome, tall, and strong. So what the hell gives you the right to look at me, As if to say "Hell, what went wrong?"
Where were you last night? You look as if you had a fight. Where were you last night?
Well I think that you may just be right, But don't try to keep me in tonight, Because I'm big enough to break down the door.
BAD BOYS Stick together, never Sad Boys GOOD GUYS They made rules for fools, so get wise...
Boys like you, are bad through and through. Still, girls like me, always seem to be with you....
We can't help but worry, You're in such a hurry, Mixing with the wrong boys, Playing with the wrong toys. Easy girls, And late nights, Cigarettes, and love bites Why do you have to be so cruel? YOU'RE SUCH A FOOL
BAD BOYS Stick together, never Sad Boys GOOD GUYS They made rules for fools, so get wise...
BAD BOYS Stick together, never Sad Boys GOOD GUYS They made rules for fools, so get wise...
Let me take you to the place Where membership's a smiling face, Brush shoulders with the stars. Where strangers take you by the hand, And welcome you to wonderland - From beneath their panamas...
*Club Tropicana, drinks are free, Fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone. All that's missing is the sea, But don't worry, you can suntan!
Castaways and Lovers meet, Then kiss in Tropicana's heat, Watch the waves break on the bay. Soft white sands, a blue lagoon, Cocktail time, a summer's tune, A whole night's holiday!
*Repeat
Pack your bags, And leave tonight. Don't take your time, Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight! Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight! Cool, cool, cool, cool
Jitterbug, jitterbug You put the boom boom into my heart You send my soul sky high, when you loving stars You jitterbug into my brain It goes bang bang bang till my feet do the same But something's bugging you, something ain't right My best fried told me what you did last night You left me sleeping in my bed I was dreaming, but I should've been with you instead
* Wake me up before you go go Don't leave me hanging on like a yoyo Wake me up before you go go I don't wanna miss it, when you hit that high Wake me up before you go go 'Cause I'm not planning on going solo Wake me up before you go go, ha Take me dancing tonight, I wanna hit that high
You take the grey skies out of my way You make the sunshine brighter than Doris Day Turned a bright spark into a flame My beat per minute have never been the same 'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool It makes my crazy when you act so cruel So come on, baby, let's not fight We'll go dancing, everything's will be all right
* REPEAT
Yeah, yeah, baby, Come now, baby, move in tight We'll go dancing tomorrow night It's cold our there, but it's warm in bed They can dance, we'll stay home instead
* Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind ignorance is kind there's no comfort in the truth pain is all you'll find
Should've known better
I feel so unsure as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor as the music dies something in your eyes calls to mind the silver screen and all its sad good-byes
** I'm never gonna dance again guilty feet have got no rhythm though it's easy to pretend I know your not a fool Should've known better than to cheat a friend and waste the chance that I've been given so I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you
* Repeat
** Repeat
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But noone's gonna dance with me Please stay
** Repeat
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone (Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong that you had to leave me alone
Everyday I hear a different story People say that you're no good for me So you love another And she's making a fool of you Oh If you love me baby Don't deny it But you left me And tell me I should try it Tell me I'm a baby And I will understand
*But to know that I'll forgive you Just this once, twice, forever 'Cause baby You could take me to heaven and back Just as long as we're together And you do
I don't want your freedom I don't want to play around I don't want nobody's baby Part-time love just brings me down I don't need your freedom Girl all I want right now is you
Like a prisoner who has his own key But I can't escape until you love me I just go from day to day Knowing all about the other boys You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool To give you all I do Bet you someday Baby Someone says the same to you
* Repeat
Oh
I don't want your freedom I don't want to play around I don't want nobody's baby Part-time love just brings me down I don't need your freedom Girl all I want right now is you
* Repeat
I don't want your freedom I don't need to play around I don't want nobody's baby Part-time love just brings me down
I don't want your (I don't want your) I don't want your (I don't want your) I don't want your (I don't want your) I don't want your (I don't want your) Oh...
Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Tell me baby, do you recognise me? Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me (Happy Christmas!)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice My god I thought you were someone to rely on Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man undercover but you tore me apart Now I found a real love you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
Somebody told me That for everything she wants Is everything she sees I guess I must have loved you Because I said you were the perfect girl for me, baby And now I'm six months older And everything you are and everything you see Is out of reach not good enough I don't know what the hell you want from me
*Somebody tell me Why I work so hard for you (To give you money)

La premiere fois tu m'as fait beaucoup rire Tu etais si mignon, et tu jouais du piano
I spend my nights down on the wharf in unlit allyways by the church downtown where sally preys come down sometime We'll sjare to the radio I love you, I loove you it says..
Where did your heart go did you put it on a train did you leave it in the rain or down in Mexico
You cry, but I didn't know I've heard it all before There it goes again, the slamming of the door Sometimes the river calls me And at night ot calls my name Says "put your troubles down beside me" Things have always been the same..
And rock'n'roll won't touch me What the river said that night I jumped into this beauty And drifted out og sight...
Where did tour heart go did you put it on a train did you leave it in the train or down in Mexico..?
I would lock you up But I could not bear to hear you Screaming to be set free I would chain you up If I'd thought you'd swear The only one that mattered was me, me, me I would strap you up But don't worry baby You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to
It's too late to stop Won't the heavens save me? My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you
You take me to the edge of heaven Tell me that my soul's forgiven Hide you baby's eyes and we can... You take me to the edge of heaven One last time might be forever When the passion dies - It's just a matter of time before my heart is Looking for a home
I'm like a maniac, at the end of the day I'm like a doggie barking at your door So come take me back to the place you stay And maybe we can do it once more
You say I'm dangerous But don't worry baby I get excited at the things that you do And there's a place for us in a dirty movie 'Cos no-one does it better than me and you
You take me to the edge of heaven Tell me that my soul's forgiven Hide your baby's eyes and we can... You take me to the edge of heaven One last time might be forever Please don't tell me lies It's just a matter of time before my heart is Looking for a home
I ain't got no more worries I'm gonna spend some times with you Loving you takes such courage And don't you think that I know it
You take me to the edge of heaven You tell me that my soul's forgiven Hide your baby's eyes and we can... You take me to the edge of heaven One last time might be forever Don't you tell me lies, because believe me baby One day you'll wake up on your own.
I ain't got no more worries I ain't got no more time for you Loving you takes such courage Everyone's got their eyes on you
I ain't got no more worries I ain't got no more time for you Loving you takes such courage And don't you think that I know it
