You Know Who You Are
Somewhere in america one night
Out on the road I saw her face
Trying hard to blend in with the others
She looked so out of place
Wo oh - her eyes, they caught me by surprise
They haunt my memory
Wo oh - she turned me around
Read my thoughts aloud
She moved me with a look
Then vanished in the crowd
*you know who you are
In the night youll feel a shiver
As I touch you from afar
Shining like a star
From the world well keep a secret
You know who you are*
The towns all run together
As the days pour into nights and fade away
Staring at the schedule
To go back to the city and the day

Ready For The Real Thing
Dead on my feet -- got a deadline to meet,
But it can wait -- cant concentrate --
This one-track mind wont leave you behind
Why punish me with memories
If only now I could turn back the pages --
I played some games that Ive lived to regret,
I only wish I had gone through those stages --
Years before we met --
But I know
*this time --
Im ready for the real thing,
Last time --
I couldnt be true,
This time --
Im ready for the real thing too*
Turn on the light, Ive been tossing all night,
I try to read but its love that I need --
In my mind -- the sound of goodbye,
Keeps hauntin me like a distant dream --
If only now I could turn back the pages --

What Do You Really Think
Do you love me? tell me if its true,
Does that look of love reflect the real you?
Why does passion disappear when were apart,
Are you secretly breaking my heart?
*what do you really think,
What do you really think of me --
What do you really think,
What do you really think about me,
About me, I gotta know*
We were dreamers, rebels in our youth,
Did our fantasies obscure the bitter truth,
Why do you turn your head when those boys walk by --
Try looking me straight in the eye
(* repeat)
Ooh, can I reach you, is it worth the climb,
Let me teach you, whats the bottom line,
Shall we try again some other place and time, in time,
Must every passing day be so tough girl,
Are you secretly breaking us up girl,
I wanna know, and gotta know for sure, I wanna know

Tell Me Im The One
If you need any love tonight
Ill give you all you need tonight
There you stand with you back to the wall,
You got a bad attitude
Ive watched the way that you run from it all,
Does your heart get confused
Would you risk your reputation
Should you even take the chance
Or are you scared by what youll say
When the rules arent in the way
Theres no time for hesitation
Lets get on to something real,
cause if its love youre lookin for
Theres no need to look anymore
*if you need any love tonight --
Tell me Im the one
Well take the time to do it right c
The night lives on
Ill give you all you need tonight c
Tell me Im the one

Too Hot To Sleep
Sweat rollin down my hands and face
Big fan on the screen porch turnin
Cat looking for a hidin place
Sun sinkin but the fires still burnin
Music playing a few doors down,
Im drawn to the sound
Its just too hot to sleep
I walk restless to the street cafe
See thats shakin in the tropic zone
A cold corona and a twist of lime
Cools me down when Im alone
Movin closer from across the room
Ive seen her before and she looks so fine
Never wanted any woman more
I look at the door and she reads my mind
*too hot to sleep
Give up the fight
Throw back the sheets
Shoot out the lights
Too hot to sleep

Rhythm Of The City
The news is out, its hot on the street
Its down to the wire, its back to the beat
As the sun goes west theres change in the wind
Hear the rhythm of hearts as the night rushes in
Feel the temperature rise to a fever pitch
And the city will hold back its power
Then the rhythm explodes as the hour strikes
*midnight, my love is alive
Cant you feel the heat
Of emotions taking over
Midnight, my love will survive
Cant you feel the rhythm
I can feel the rhythm of the city*
The night draws near, the street lights reveal
A whole world beyond this concrete and steel
Let me feel your touch in the midnight wind
In the traffic of hearts as the night rushes in
Feel the temperature rise to a fever pitch
And the city will hold back its power
Then the rhythm explodes as the hour strikes

Shes A Star
She comes to life from the cover of a hollywood magazine
With a sense of confidence hard to fight
She waits to be discovered
Underneath the cover of a neon night
Shes a star
All of my friends they got a bet she hasnt seen seventeen
I never been any good at playin the game
Id just love to give her what she needs besides fortune and fame
Shes a star
From the backstreets to the city
There youll find her lookin so pretty
First she buys you, then she sells ya
You know she wants you when shes telling you
*take me to the music
Out into the night
Drag me through the fire
Do it to me right*
She steps right out and grabs you like a cover girl photograph
Shell size you up then she hits you with those hollywood tears
But I dont need no close-up

Oceans
Into the night, two of a kind
We rode the crest of the wave
Are we destined to leave love behind
Ill pay the price, just tell me the cost
To save something here in our heart
Something dear that cannot be lost
And I cant help but wonder out loud
If only we could go back to square one
If finally we could pinpoint where we lost touch
I stand alone, reaching out my hand to you
*oceans between us
Strangers upon the shore
Like islands we stand alone
Oceans between us now
Oceans surround us
Stand and watch as they disappear
To challenge the rising tide
Or drown in a sea of tears*
We shut out the hurt, we cast love aside
Stubborn beyond the point of all reason

Half-life
This thing we call an existence, I stand here
Trying to make some sense of it all,
Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile
But its just not from the heart,
Im wrong for the part --
And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances
And go on believin, though deep in my heart I dream
Of brakin away
*are we all livin a half-life,
No point of dimension,
Trying to find our way,
Do we search in the dark,
You and i, livin a half-life,
Beyond our pretension,
Were much the same
We search for the spark*
Behind the smoke screen around me,
There beats a heart that is simple dreams that are mine --
Were only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic
Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme

Light Of A Thousand Smiles
When I would concentrate with all my might,
I could imagine
I would imagine,
That I was standing in the spotlight
And if I close my eyes, very tight
A crystal vision,
A premonition
Would find me shining underneath those hot lights
*and Id daydream in school
With faraway eyes
Living the words of the radio songs
Making my plans
Someday to take the stage
With a rock and roll band*
**and I would play in the light of a thousand smiles
(and the sound would be heard for a thousand miles)
Spreading through the towns and fields of america
America**
And I would demonstrate, every night
My plan of action,
