Lyrics


1. DON'T TELL ME

It's ok, I'll do what I want if I choose
I can take the fall, there's a choice
It's my destiny in my hands
Yeah, it's up to me

I can drive
I can shoot a gun in the streets
Score me some heroin
I can jump, be the sacrifice
Bear the cross just like Jesus Christ

And I don't wanna hear what love can do
No, I ain't gonna tell you what's right for you

Is it right, to take the easy way?
Close your eyes, get on your knees and pray
Now you're saved, by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice

If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
But I'll try, yeah I'll try for it
I'll try and I'll try, 'til I'm satisfied

And I, I'm tired o' hearin' what love can do
And I, ain't gonna tell you what's right for you

I've seen the damage done
Yeah, I heard the shotgun
And felt the settin' sun on my kingdom come
Ohhh!

Is it right, uh, to take the easy way?
I don't know, I get down on my knees and pray
Now I'm saved, by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice

If I'm wrong, hey! Then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah, you're gonna deal with it
'Cause I'll try, yeah I'll try for it
I'll try and I'll cry, even die for it

No, I don't wana hear what love can do
No, I, I can't tell you what's right for you
Oh, I, I, I tell you what love can do
No, I, I, I can't say when your time is through

I've seen the damage done
Oh Lord, I heard the shotgun
I felt the settin' sun on my kingdom come
Nooo!

Yeah! A-hey, hey, hey!

Don't tell me what love can do, uh
Hey hey hey! Uh!
Hey hey hey hey!
Don't tell me what love can do, alright
Hey hey hey!
What love can do
Hey hey hey!


2. DREAMS

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin' down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby, just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

Run, run, run away
Like a train runnin' off the track
Got the truth bein' left behind
Falls between the cracks
Standin' on broken dreams
Never losin' sight, ah
Well just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

Yeah, we'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Oh, we'll get higher and higher
Who knows what we'll find?

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby, we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

And in the end on dreams we will depend
'Cause that's what love is made of


3. TOP OF THE WORLD

Hey, baby, whew!
I know that you believe in me,
That's all I ever need, uh huh.
No, no, nothing's gonna stop me,
Nothing will be scaring me, oh no
Hey baby, it's the only way out
Oh, little darling,
C'mon what's it all about?
Standing on top of the world
For a little while.
Standing on top of the world
Gonna give it all we got.
Oh, I know it won't hurt,
I gotta have a little taste
I just wanna sink my teeth in that
Fine piece of real estate, yeah
Hey baby, make it nice and sweet,
Oh, little darling
Let's take a walk down easy street
Standing on top of the world,
For a little while.
Standing on top of the world
Let's give it all we got, oooh oooh
Baby, gotta feeling, oooh oooh,
Oh, I wanna touch it,now, oooh oooh oooh,
See the whole wide world turn upside down.
Hey, baby, whew!
Someday, we'll be
Standing on top of the world
For a little while
Standing on top of the world
Till we got stung.
Standing on top of the world
For a little while.
Standing on top of the world
Gonna give it all we got.
(standing on top) hey, baby.
(standing on top) hey darling
Standing on top,
Standing on top,
Standing on top


4. JUDGEMENT DAY

It's my life, get off my ass, get outta my face
Man, I don't see no problem
Kickin' back, ain't kickin' you, no, no
Anyway, if I make 'em, then I solve 'em
Oh, that's right, yeah, whew
Makin' plans 's a waste, ain't no future here
Got no face, got no religion
Oh tell me why should I care or even, why should I try?
I just slide, slide on by, never bad enough to crucify me
Cry! put it out until judgement day
I'll bear the cross on judgement day
I do most anything, keep 'em doing anything, 'cos
Sometimes I just wanna do nothin'
Nothin' lost, tell me, how can I lose
When I'm startin' off with nothin'
Oh tell me why should I care or even, why try?
I just slide, slide on by, never bad enough to crucify me
Oh! put it out until judgement day
I'll bear that same old cross on judgement day
Oh! hey!

Hey man, anything's alright. yeah!
Wow! put it out until judgement day
I'll bear the cross on judgement day
Put it out, put it out until judgement day
I'll bear the cross on judgement day
Oh! whoa, yeah, on judgement day
Oh! whoa, yeah, on judgement day
Wow!
