Track Lyrics
You Got Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Momma said, be careful what you do, yeah you
She said, don't you let just anybody talk to you, no no no
I can't hide, the way you make me feel inside
I'm afraid, if momma only knew, it feels right
[Chorus]
If you want me, you got me
And if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long
[Verse 2]
I confess, I love the things you do, yes I do
Your caress, keeps me coming back to you, only you
[Chorus]3x
If you want me, you got me
And if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long
Anna Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Anna please turn around, we'll work it out somehow
Anna don't turn me down, there's still a chance
If we can hold out once more
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we started out with love, that was more than enough
And that's a lot to give up
[Chorus]
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
[Verse 2]
Anna you gotta stay, it's just a stage we're going through
And Anna this all can change, if we turn the page
Then we can start all again
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we almost touched the sky, and it could never again be this right
Anna please change your mind
[Chorus]3x
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out
And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out on our love
Mushanga Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't forget you my little Mushanga
I keep a place in my heart for you
The days of waiting they keep getting longer
And not a thing I can do
I was a poet, a magazine writer
Sent to report on political views
It was by chance through a lens that I met you
A Cape Town girl with no shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then
[Chorus]
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you
Mushanga oh, Mushanga oh
[Verse 2]
I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
The loss of lives mining white man's gold
I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Where all my stories are bought and sold
I know the city would surely be saddened
If what I knew could be told
[Pre-Chorus]
You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lend you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then
[Chorus]
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you
Mushanga oh, Mushanga oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
It's been so long since I last heard your laughter
So many letters and still no news
I hope you find all the things that you're after
You know my heart is with you
[Pre-Chorus]
You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lend you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then
[Chorus]
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
Woa oh oh oh oh woa
Woa oh oh woa
Woa oh oh oh oh woa
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you
Mushanga oh, Mushanga oh
Mushanga oh, Mushanga oh
Mushanga oh, Mushanga oh
Mushanga oh, Mushanga oh
Stay Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You gave me too many chances, now it's drivin' us apart
I keep on runnin' with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, cause you never let it show
I know I'm hanging on the edge now, but I won't let go
[Pre-Chorus]
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
[Chorus]
Stay away, stay away from my heart
But I'm trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart
[Verse 2]
If you gave me three wishes, I'd throw two of them away
I've seen that look in your eye girl, I'd use the last one this way
We've been from rags to riches, but your love can't be bought
I'm just a junkyard dog, girl, who's afraid of being caught
[Pre-Chorus]
You're standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldn't be further from the truth
[Chorus]
Stay away, stay away from my heart
I'm doing all that I can
Stay away, stay away from my heart
[Bridge]
Remember how it used to be girl, makin' love like it's the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what we'd found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down
[Pre-Chorus]
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
[Chorus]
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Yeah, but I wanna stay here with you
Stay away, stay away from my heart
But I wanna stay away from you
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Yeah, I'm doing all I can do
Stay away, stay away from my heart
But I wanna stay away from you
[Outro]
Stay away
All I can do
Stay away, wanna stay
Stay away, wanna stay
Stay away, wanna stay
Stay away, wanna stay
I'm doing all I can do
Stay away
Straight for the Heart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone, but she's the type that can never be owned
[Pre-Chorus]
He can't get her off his mind, but she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round
[Chorus]
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known
[Verse 2]
Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance
[Pre-Chorus]
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round
[Chorus]
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known
[Pre-Chorus]
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round
[Chorus]
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known (4x)
Only the Children Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We keep hurting each other
When words can't be easily said
No understanding or reason
Just fear and confusion instead
We need hope for the future
And the young need a chance to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent
They're fighting to stay alive
Can no one see the tears in their eyes
[Chorus]
Only the children
Only the children cry
Only the children
[Verse 2]
Why do those who have plenty
Ignore those with nothing at all?
Why must the ones just beginning
Stand with their backs to the wall?
They keep asking for answers
And we keep on telling them lies
[Pre-Chorus]
They only want to understand what they feel inside
The hunger that tears them apart
It's the one thing they've known from the start
[Chorus]4x
Only the children
Only the children cry
Only the children (only the children cry)
Home of the Brave Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything's gonna be alright boys
Help is on the way
Hold your head up high now
There's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore
Leave the politics behind boys
They're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here
It's make or break here
Haven't we been here before?
Well come on!
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what we're waiting for
[Chorus]
You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
[Verse 2]
Who sings the song of the people?
You don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer
To the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like this before
So you're trying to shake this feeling
That trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night
Like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore
Well, come on!
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what we're waiting for
[Chorus]
You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
