1. NO SUCH THING

No such thing...no such thing
You're waiting for the lightning to strike you from the sky
You're waiting for th fireworks on the Fourth Of July
But sure as there's a moon in the heavens up above
There's no such thing as the perfect love

You read Harlequin Romances and True Life Magazines
You're the young and you're the restless
You relate to every scene
I tried to tell you once but I guess it's not enough
There's no such thing as the perfect love

Baby what you want from me come and take it
But never give your heart for free 'cause I'll break it
Yeah I'll break it

You're still listening for the footsteps
You sit there by the phone
Staring at your posters aren't you tired of being alone
You may think you're trying but it isn't hard enough
There's no such thing as the perfect love

There's a time and a place for this
You gotta be there
If you sit around and wait for love it'll get you nowhere
Nowhere!

Love can really break your heart if you let it
If you're looking for the perfect love just forget it
Forget it!

Baby you're so precious you're living out a dream
I'm scared that when you wake up you'll look around and scream
'Cause life is no illusion, it really is so tough
There's no such thing as the perfect love


2. DANGEROUS GAME

Dangerous Game
You do just what you want to do
I see the way they look at you
It always comes easy

You walk into a crowded room
The subtle hint of your perfume
It always comes easy

You never seem like you're trying
Still you get your way
You know you're living a lie and
Someday you'll pay but

Don't play with love
It's a dangerous game
It'll tear you apart
It'll drive you insane
You make the choice between pleasure and pain
I'm serious girl
It's a dangerous game

You never have to try too much
You think you got the magic touch
You really believe it
You always have to have control
You never get emotional
Do you really believe it

When someone tries to get closer
You just turn away
You get to say when it's over
You say who stays but

Don't play with love
It's a dangerous game
It'll tear you apart
It'll drive you insane
You make the choice between pleasure and pain
I'm serious girl
It's a dangerous game

Baby you think you're so clever
Acting this way
You know this can't go on forever
Someday you'll pay

Don't play with love
It's a dangerous game
It'll tear you apart
It'll drive you insane
You make the choice between pleasure and pain
I'm serious girl
It's a dangerous game

Don't play with love
It's a dangerous game
It'll chew you up, spit you out again
You make the choice between pleasure and pain
I'm serious girl
It's a dangerous game

Don't play with love
It's a dangerous game
It'll tear you apart
It'll drive you insane
You make the choice between pleasure and pain
I'm serious girl
It's a dangerous game


3. THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD

You've got the weight of the world
On your shoulders tonight
But somewhere there's a light
It's just the way that you feel

In the eyes of the world
So much colder tonight
It's feeding on your pride
It's just the way that you feel

Don't go
Can't you see I'm on your side
Baby don't go
Don't go, don't go, don't go

If the weight of the world
Is too much for you now
You've got to turn it round somehow
Change the way that you feel
If you wait for the world
To give you what you need
It's gonna bring you to your knees again

So baby don't go
Can't you see I'm on your side
Don't let yourself go
Don't go, don't go, don't go

There has to be another way
No don't go
You've got to turn around and stay

Don't you wait until your strength is gone
I'll give you something worth holding on to
Not the weight
The weight of the world

Don't believe in your foolish pride
Take a look at how you feel inside
And give it up

You're saying how your friends are gone
Baby are they holding on
To the weight
On the weight of the world


4. AMBITION

Ambition
One cold gray morning
She left her home
No note no warning
She just ran off alone

She'd met a stranger
The night before
She sensed the danger
But she wanted more

He had a proposition
She had the skills
He told her with a passion that kills
All you need is

Ambition
Nobody's gonna hold you back you got
Ambition
Ooh yeah

She took his number
Gold business card
Stares from the window
Out over the park
Her skills come easy
She knows what's right
The perfect lover
She's his for the night

He calls her baby
She blocks him out
Romance isn't what it's about
It's about

Ambition
Nobody's gonna hold you back you got
Ambition
Ooh yeah, You gotta have
Ambition
The moment's here, it's time to react with your
Ambition
Ooh yeah

The die is cast
It's withing her grasp
But was it worth all the trouble and pain

Such a different world
For a small town girl
She'll never go back again

No, no, no

It's a scary business
You can lose your soul
But if you want to maintain control
You gotta have

Ambition
Nobody's gonna hold you back you got
Ambition
Ooh yeah, you gotta have
Ambition


5. EVER SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN

Ever Since The World Began
I'll never know what brought me here
As if somebody led my hand.
It seems I hardly had to steer -
My course was planned.
And destiny, it guides us all;
And by its hand we rise and fall.
But only for a moment
Time enough to catch our breath again.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan.
How one life touches the other
Is so hard to understand.
Still we walk this road together.
We try and go as far as we can.
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began.

Taken in the times gone by
We wonder how it all began.
We never know, and still we try
To understand.
And even though the seasons change,
The reasons shall remain the same.
It's love that keeps us holding on
Till we can see the sun again.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan.
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began.

And I stand alone
A man of stone
Against the driving rain.
And the night, it's got your number -
And the wind, it cries your name.

And we search for clues,
Win or lose,
In this we're all the same.
The hope still burns eternal',
We're the keeper of the flame.


6. ARE YOU READY FOR ME

Are you ready for me
Are you ready for me?
Are you ready
Are you ready, ready for me?

I hear you're really something
Is it true you broke a million hearts?
Try a million and one

You've got a private number
You've got a foreign car that's always parked
Where the high rollers run

Well I'm not impressed and you don't get it
What I've got for you is one big surprise

(Are you ready for me)
I might break your heart
(Are you ready for me)
Tear your world apart
Are you ready ready ready for me

Not in you wildest dreams
Did you ever think that just one man
Could make you lose your control

Well I can tell you're tempted
Honey here I am
All you've got to do
Is never say no

You've got the questions
I've got the answers
If you've got the lock
I've sure got the key

I am the one your daddy warned you about
All the things he said are probably true

So make up your mind
I can take it or leave it
'Cause you know in your heart
What you're gonna do

What it's all about
Ooh babe I'll make you scream and shout
We're gonna do it again
Ooh again and again and again...


7. SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT

Driving through the midnight rain
Blinded by the lights
Thinking 'bout those things you told me
Late last night

Words keep running 'round in my mind
All the anger in your eyes
The way you told me we were over
The way you cried

Oh, drove through the night
The rain just kept beating down
The first sign of morning
I stopped in this strange little town

Somewhere in the night
The answer's escaping me now
Somewhere in the night
It's hiding in the shadows
Somewhere in the night
The answer is waiting for me
And I won't see
Until the morning light

Found a place to drink some coffee
Sat staring at the phone
Kept thinking of the way I'd left you
So all alone

Remembered all the things we've been through
So I got the phone and dialed
I'd give up everything I had
If I could see you smile

Oh, it rang and it rang
So nervous I started to shake
You picked up and answered
So lonely I felt my heart break

Somewhere in the night
The answer's escaping me now
Somewhere in the night
It's hiding in the shadows
Somewhere in the night
The answer is waiting for me
And I won't see

Till darkness lifts its veil
Until I see your face
Until the morning light
Until I see your face


8. LOVE YOU TOO MUCH

Tried to call you late last night
But you just let it ring
I drove right round and rang your bell
You wouldn't let me in

Ever since I met you girl
My friends all say I'm strange
But I don't care what they believe
I'm ready for this change

I can't live without you
I want to be around you
All through the night

I want to run right over
I really need to show you
You set my heart alight

I love you too much
Ooh I can't wait to feel your special touch
Ii love you too much
I look at you and I can't believe my luck

I want to be with you each minute of the day
I never thought that I could feel this way
I love you too much

Well I've never been this way before
You don't know what you've done
I can't think of nothing else
You really are the one

But you're still playing hard to get
Laying down the rules
I'm on fire I'm burning up
And girl you act so cool

I'm in far too deep
I don't get much sleep
I just lie here in my bed

I know I can't escape it
I'm gonna have to face it
I'm over my head

I love you too much...

I've been looking for an explanation
But so far it's hard to find
What you're doing to my reputation
What you're doing to my mind
Yeah yeah yeah


9. OUTSIDER

Jimmy was the son of a sailor
Another lonely military brat
Norfolk, Virgina, Vallejo
Bags always packed

Now his mother was always out drinking
On midnight maneuvers of her own
Jimmy would sit there and stare at the clock
And one night she never came home

That's how he learned the facts of life
From a mother and a sailor's wife
Now he's out there somewhere on his own

He's always been an

Outsider
Taking on the world alone
Such an outsider
And it really doesn't matter who's right or wrong
'Cause sooner or later he's gone
Outsider

Jimmy tried his luck in the Navy
To see the world just like his old man
But too many rules and too many fools
Spoiled his plans

Now he's driving a truck through the Southland
Pulling anything that money can buy
He knows how it feels to fall asleep at the wheel
So he takes a little pill to get by

He's living on borrowed time
He doesn't see the danger signs
Now he's out there somewhere on his own
He's always been an

Outsider
Taking on the world again
Just an outsider
And it really doesn't matter whose side he's on
'Cause sooner or later he's gone

Ooh sweet isolation
Aah the perfect situation
Outsider outsider

He's living on the border line
Living in a different time
Now he's out there somewhere on his own
He's always been an outsider


10. LAY THEM DOWN

Mischief in motion
Seemed innocent enough
Wild-eyed devotion
Now you can't give it up

Back on your feet again
You call it luck
You'd justify anything
Rather than give it up

It should not have to be so hard
If you don't see it in the cards

Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down
You don't need them any more
Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down

The only prayer the gambler prays
Is that his face won't show his hand
He's perfected a way
To shut out everything

There's a fire where the children are
But you refuse to see the flames
They try to warn you baby
But you won't leave your game

You can't think of folding your hand
You can't think of walking away
Not 'till you win one more game
Then you won't need it any more
Won't need any more
