1. SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

People are talkin, talkin 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept undercover
I just ignore it, but they keep sayin
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing, somethin we don't, Darlin'.

Chorus
Let's give 'em something to talk about
Let's give 'em something to talk about
Let's give 'em something to talk about
How about love?


I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm goin under
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every night
I hope that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, Darlin'.

Bridge x2
Let's give 'em something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give 'em something to talk about
How about love, love, love?

Hooooo

let's give 'em something to talk about
a little mystery won't baby
let's give 'em something to talk about.

wooh wooh

how about love?
how about love?
how about love?


2. I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize, don't patronize me.

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.


I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight.

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't


3. NOT THE ONLY ONE

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one.

One chance intervention, see what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension, baby
We'd have passed each other by
When I heard your sweet voice callin'
Saw your light come shinin' through
I couldn't stop my heart from turning
Churnin' out my love for you.

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw you face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that I wasn't the only one
That lonely one.

True love or perfection
It seems like it's overdue
Then just when you least expect it
It comes sneakin' up on you
When I thought that I was dreaming
Felt your body close to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together till the end of time.

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one
When I saw your face through the web of my confusion
Whisperin' that I was not the only one baby
The lonely one
Ohh the lonely one
Oooooooo baby.

Huh Not the only one

Listen baby
Not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only only one baby
Ooooo I'm not the only one, listen baby
Oooooo I'm not the only one , only only only only
Ohhhh I'm not the only one.


4. LUCK OF THE DRAW

You dust the bottles on the bar counter
You're writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin
Sometimes it's good to lose your pride.

These things we do to keep the flame burnin
And write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the world turnin
Another avenue to try.

It's in the Luck of the Draw, Baby
The Natural Law
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
It's in the Luck of the Draw, Baby
The Natural Law
(flame keep on burnin)
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
(wheel ever turnin).

You turn around and say it's last orders
You fix the ribbon in your hair
Tomarrow's letter by the hall doorway
Could be the answer to your prayers.


5. ALL AT ONCE

Had a fight with my daughter
She flew off in a rage
Third time this week
Don't tell me it's the age
Don't know how I lost her
I only know that it's a shame
Ever since her Daddy left
The girl ain't been the same.

All at once I hear your voice
And time just slips away
Nothing they can say could hold me here
Take me where I only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know there's someplace left for me
Waiting just for me.

Ah, who am I kiddin'
I should have known he'd never leave
The time we spend together
Is harder than the time between
You wouldn't think it could hurt so
To see 'em out the other day
If that's what he calls leavin'
I guess I threw it all away.

They say women, we're the stronger
Somehow we always make it through
Hell, that ain't how I feel right now
I don't even think it's true
Looks to me there's lots more broken
Than anyone can really see
Why the angels turn their backs on some
Is just a mystery to me.


6. NICK OF TIME

A friend of mine she cries at night, and she
Calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes and she
Wants one of her own
She's waited long enough she says
And still she can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up Inside
She's scared...scared she'll run out of time.

I see my folks, they're getting old, I watch their bodies Change
I know they see the same in me, And it makes us both feel Strange
No matter how you tell yourself, It's what we all go Through
Those lines are pretty hard to take when they're staring' Back at you
Scared you'll run out of time.

When did the choices get so hard?
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste
Hummmm...Scared she'll run out of time.

Just when I thought I'd had enough
All my tears were shed
No promise left unbroken
There were no painful words unsaid
You came along and showed me
How to leave it all behind
You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise.

I found love, Love in the Nick of Time
I found love, Love in the Nick of Time
I found love, Love in the Nick of Time.


7. HAVE A HEART

Hey!
Shut up.
Don't lie to me.
You think i'm blind but i've got eye to see
Hey!
Mister, how do you do.
Oh pardon me I thought I knew you.
Would you stand back baby 'cause I want to get a better look
The big man who couldn't handle the little bit of love you took.

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.

Oh darling, I love you so.
I told you yes, and then you told me no.
Baby, how can you say
You should be free and I should pay and pay
And you talk and talk about you and what you need
But sooner or later your love is gonna make me bleed.

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
Oh, Oh.

Talk on, talk on, but love is what you need.
And sooner or later that love is gonna make you bleed.

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
But don't you run away baby.


8. I AIN'T GONNA LET YOU BREAK MY HEART AGAIN

There ain't no use in me trying to tell you how I feel
'Cause what I feel ain't what you're feeling
I don't know what we did wrong
I just know if you come home
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again

There ain't no use in me trying to find out where you've Been
Where you've been ain't where I'm going
'Cause if I ask you where you've been
The hurting starts and it don't end
So I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no o

Tears don't become me
Pain ain't my friend
It seems like you enjoy my crying , baby
You always said that I was strong
But I believe that you were wrong
Lately , God knows , I have been trying

There ain't no use in you trying to kiss away the hurt , Baby
'Cause it hurts where it's deep down inside of me and it's Hiding
If you decide you're coming home
You walk in , it won't be like before
'Cause I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
Ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no no.
