You Can Do Magic
I never believed in things that I couldn’t see
I said if I can’t feel it then how could it be?
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you, I couldn’t believe it
You took my heart, I couldn’t retrieve it
Said to myself, “What’s it all about?”
Now I know there can be no doubt
You can do magic, you can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know you’re the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well when you cast your spell
You will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
De-de-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do-dit
De-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do
De-de-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do-dit
De-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do
And when the rain is beatin’ upon the window pane
And when the night, it gets so cold
When I can’t sleep again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it?
With a word you dry my tears
You can do magic, you can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know you’re the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well when you cast your spell
You will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
De-de-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do-dit
De-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do
De-de-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do-dit
De-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do
And if I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was so true
But now it’s so clear to me
You can do magic, you can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know you’re the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well when you cast your spell
You will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
De-de-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do-dit
De-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do
De-de-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do-dit
De-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do
De-de-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do-dit
(You’re the one who can put out the fire)
De-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do
De-de-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do-dit
(You’re the one who can put out the fire)
De-de-de-do-dit, do-do-do-do-do
De-de-de-do-dit
Never Be Lonely
Got you by my side, I’ll never be lonely
Got you by my side, I’ll never be afraid
Never be lonely anymore
Turn away the fools from my door
Always wanna be your one and only
Never be lonely
Spent a lot of time waiting to find you
Spent a lot of time all on my own
Could’ve gone a thousand different ways
Watching my nights turn to days
Always wanna be your one and only
Never be lonely
Here in the middle of now or never
Finally found where I belong
I could go on like this forever
Looking at you, looking at you
Wasn’t I the one love never came to?
Wasn’t I the one so misunderstood?
All because my heart wasn’t sure
Never felt a love like this before
Always wanna be your one and only
Never be lonely
Here in the middle of now or never
Finally found where I belong
I could go on like this forever
Looking at you, looking at you
Got me by your side, never be lonely
Got me by your side, never be afraid
And I will not let you down
Keeping both feet on the ground
Always wanna be your one and only
Never be lonely
Never be lonely
Never be lonely
Never be lonely
Never be lonely
Never be lonely
You Girl
When the winds blow cold, am I left alone
To remember times gone by?
Was it all in vain, did the faces change?
And I never questioned why
Now the answer’s clear
I need you here, ’cause
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you, girl
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you
You are my love today, my life tomorrow
My very soul
And I’ve searched over the mountains, all through the shadows
Under the water too
All to find
Just to find that
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you, girl
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you
Now the answer’s clear
I need you here, ’cause
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you, girl
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you, girl
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you, girl
Everything I’ll ever want
Everything I’ll ever need is in you
Inspector Mills
[Intro]
*phone ringing*
Hello?
Inspector Mills, I’d like to tell you ’bout a girl I saw
At a party just the other night in Beverly Hills
Inspector Mills, I hope you find her, and it don’t take long
Watch my feelings for her growing strong
In a war of wills, Inspector Mills
I can’t attempt to point you in her direction
I didn’t see her walking out of the door
If I had taken my time, she’d be standing here still
Inspector Mills
I recall once in my life I’ve felt this way before
But I let her go and closed the door and walk away
Inspector Mills, I can’t attempt to show the hurt in me
And just how much I need the company
Search the valleys and the hills, you gotta find her, Mr. Mills
I can’t attempt to point you in her direction
I was blinded by the look in her eyes
If I had taken my time, she’d be sitting here still
Inspector Mills
Ooh, someday soon
I might be in love with you
Inspector Mills, I guess you’ve taken quite a look around
Guess I felt the need among the crowd, she’s gone for good
Inspector Mills, is it any crime for a fool like me?
Try to use your time ’cause I wanna see
You just send me the bill, Inspector Mills, Inspector Mills
I can’t attempt to point you in her direction
I didn’t see her walking out of the door
If I had taken my time she’d be lying here still
Inspector Mills, Inspector
I can’t attempt to point you in her direction
I was blinded by the look in her eyes
If I had have just followed through
Then I wouldn’t be calling you
Love on the Vine
I came home yesterday
To the love that I left behind
It seems I’ve been far away, yeah
But I know that the berry’s ripe on the vine
And I know that the grapes will soon turn to wine
Yes, I know I’ll be there just in time to love you
I guess I just ran away
Tried to see what I could not find
It’s been a one act play, yeah
But I know that the berry’s ripe on the vine
And I know that the grapes will soon turn to wine
And I know I’ll be there just in time to love you
I’ve been wasting time
With this old heart of mine
Working it overtime
Just another blue day
Like the ones that I left behind
I know it’s easy to say, yeah
But I know that the berry’s ripe on the vine
And I know that the grapes will soon turn to wine
Yes, I know I’ll be there just in time to love you
Oh and I know that the berry’s ripe on the vine
And I know that the grapes will soon turn to wine
Yes, I know I’ll be there just in time to love you
Love you on the vine, oh on the vine
Love you on the vine, oh on the vine
I love you on the vine, oh on the vine, ah
On the vine, oh on the vine …
Desperate Love
Secret calls long after hours
Suspicions rise, why does she whisper?
Someone’s hiding something
What’s going on?
She smiles and finds an excuse to go out
Meets him somewhere on the edge of town
For one more night of real love
How can it be wrong?
‘Cause when they turn out the lights
In their rented room tonight
Two lovers won’t be lonely anymore
When it’s a desperate love, risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
A cheater’s conscience has no pride
To spend the night with another man’s wife
Lie to his best friend
And never think twice
He knows where to find what he longs to have
And do anything ’cause he wants her that bad
Love has many faces
Faces to hide
‘Cause when they turn out the lights
In their rented room tonight
Two lovers won’t be lonely anymore
When it’s a desperate love, risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
When it’s a desperate love, risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
When it’s a desperate love, risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
When it’s a desperate love, risk is high
Cheating hearts making alibis
In the shadows someone is waiting
Waiting for their lover to come tonight
Right Before Your Eyes
Every day I sit beside you
On the bus to Madison Avenue
Work in the big gray store
With the revolving doors
You don’t even know my name
I guess that I’m to blame
Don’t know the right things to say
So I pretend away
That I’m Rudolph Valentino
Pull up in my limousine, oh
Won’t you come in out of the rain
Things will never be the same
And then just like Greta Garbo
You stare like there’s no tomorrow
And you’ll know what I’m thinking of
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you
Today I’m done with games
Gonna ask you for your name
Say I’ve been watching you
I even know what you do
Maybe today I’ll tell you
I’ve found the nerve to sell you
On a guy like me
Who wishes that he could be
Rudolph Valentino
Pull up in my limousine, oh
Won’t you come in out of the rain
Things will never be the same
And then just like Greta Garbo
You stare like there’s no tomorrow
And you’ll know what I’m thinking of
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you
Right before my eyes you’ll say you love me too
Rudolph Valentino
Pull up in my limousine, oh
Won’t you come in out of the rain
Things will never be the same
And then just like Greta Garbo
You stare like there’s no tomorrow
And you’ll know what I’m thinking of
Jody
Just to think I had her in my hands
To think we made our plans
Somehow it feels just like a dream
For I played it so darn cool
Is there a bigger fool?
To say I wanted to be free
‘Cause now I know just what she meant to me
Jody, even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I’m aflame, girl, every time
Jody, girl I’ve tried but I can’t forget
The years when we lived together
I thought it would be forever
Jody, I’m begging now
Look around but there’s no way out
What’s it all about?
And how that name goes round my head
I still see her face as she laid upon this bed
Jody, even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I’m aflame, girl, every time
Jody, girl I’ve tried but I can’t forget
The years when we lived together
I thought it would be forever
Jody, I’m begging now
Just say the word, I’ll run to you
I’ll be the man you want me to
How I’d miss you I never knew
Jody, even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I’m aflame, girl, every time
Jody, girl I’ve tried but I can’t forget
The years when we lived together
I thought it would be forever
Jody, I’m begging now
Even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I’m aflame, girl
Jody, even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I’m aflame, girl
Sometimes Lovers
Sometimes there are teardrops across your face
Sometimes there are rainbows in the same place
And I don’t know which way to turn
Sometimes lovers don’t act like they should
Sometimes lovers don’t do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover of innocence and blame
I know sometimes we act just the same
Your heart’s in the city, it wears me down
No love, no pity in this town
And I don’t know which way to turn
Sometimes lovers don’t act like they should
Sometimes lovers don’t do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover of innocence and blame
I know, baby
Hold on tight to me, mama
Tell me what went wrong
I’m alright, I will lay beside you
‘Til the night is gone
Sometimes lovers don’t act like they should
Sometimes lovers don’t do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover of innocence and blame
Sometimes lovers don’t act like they should
Sometimes lovers don’t do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover of innocence and blame
Even the Score
I stayed up all night long
Drinkin’ and thinkin’ ’bout you
Is there anything left at all?
Is there anything that I can do?
‘Cause I don’t know what to say anymore
I don’t know how to even the score with you
With you
Starin’ hard at that big front door
Is it time now to find my shoes?
It ain’t the loss of love no more
I’m just tryin’ hard to live with you
‘Cause I don’t know what to say anymore
And I don’t know how to even the score with you
With you
With you, with you
‘Cause I don’t know what to say anymore
And I don’t know how to even the score with you
Oh, with you
Is love a question, who’s weak, who’s strong
I can’t see it, where’s a compromise
It’s so confusing where this thing has gone
It’s gotta stop, you’ve gotta realize
‘Cause I don’t know what to say anymore
And I don’t know how to even the score with you, oh, with you
Yes, with you
Oh, with you
‘Cause I don’t know what to say anymore
And I don’t know how to even the score with you
Oh, with you
Yes, with you, oh, with you
I don’t know what to say anymore
And I don’t know how to even the score with you
Oh, with you
Yes, with you, oh, with you
