Was it something that they said that's playing with your head, what happened? When you're standing in the spotlight, woman, some people try an' take a shot Well it's only jealousy, only jealousy, oh they can't see our love But one thing you can be sure of You know that I'm a believer, in you an' me You know that I'm a believer, oh it's true And no matter what you do, girl, I believe in you I believe! Oh it's never what you hear, it's only what you feel that matters Left your brother stand alone, you kept climbing social ladders When it comes down to basics, and we're lookin' at it one on one It don't matter what they say, matter what they say About us now, ah, can't hurt us now But one thing you can be sure of You know that I'm a believer, in you, I believe You know that I'm a believer, oh it's true And no matter what you do, girl, I believe (Instrumental break) The only way to win child, is never play the game of love But I'll be there to catch you even if you should ever fall But one thing you can be sure of You know that I'm a believer, in you, in me You know that I'm a believer, girl it's true, and no matter what you do You know I'm a believer, in you, in love You know that I'm a believer, oh it's true And no matter what you do, girl, I believe in you, oh in me, oh in love You know that I'm a believer, oh it's true And no matter what you do, girl, I believe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: INNOCENT DAYS Visions, our love is a series of visions A taste on my lips, a whispering word in your ear Oh passion, we're children just playing with passion Losing our grip, falling asleep at the wheel Still we hold on to the bitter end, thinking we can never lose Baby it's a cold night and the winds of change are blowing Chorus: And these are the innocent days Standing on the rocks, waiting for the tidal waves Dreaming of love, but living inside the lands And these are the innocent days, I know we're the last of the runaways Never return, till love takes us home Lover, we're drowning our doubts in each other Closing our eyes, we bury the truth in the sand I cannot take it, 'cos when we don't feel it, we fake it Oh someday these nights come back to haunt us again Oh we lie here at the water's edge, wishing we could float away 'Cos it's too late to turn back, when the only bridge is burning chorus (Instrumental break) Still we hold on to the bitter end, thinking we can never lose Baby it's a cold night and the winds of change are blowing Oh they're blowing, they're cryin', they're cryin' chorus (These are the innocent days) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: I CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH Lying in the shade of the halflight, buzzin' in the back of my head I'm lookin' at you, I can't believe just how good it gets There's a cold wind rushin' through the window, can't even touch your heat Soul to soul, no control, breathin' in your heart beat And only passioned fools are looking for spiritual bruses You're on the way to stone, and now as I lie here with you Chorus: I can't get close enough - no matter what I do I'm never close enough - I need more and more of you Close enough - I think I'm losing my mind I'm deep inside your love, but I still ain't close enough Oh, close enough I can hear the angels' voices, tryin' to whisper my name Out of the dark and into the light, mission of these shames I don't wanna wait another lifetime, 'til this one happens again What you've done is takin' me from the prison that I live in You're all I ever need, I live in the light of your flame This fire's consuming me, here as I call out your name chorus - oh, close enough (Instrumental break) And only passioned fools are looking for spiritual bruses You're on the way to stone, and now as I lie here with you chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS Gone, the voice that used to fill the room is all but gone An echo of a perfect love that ended wrong Girl, we tried so hard when love was on our side And yesterday will always be the reason why You keep comin', you keep comin' back, you keep comin' back for more I'll see you in my dreams There we'll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory I'll see you in my dreams, oh Time, time will never be a friend of mine again It tries to make your memory fade, but I won't let it end Let the sun go down, so I can drift away Let me close my eyes and live another day You keep comin', you keep comin' back, you keep comin' back for more I'll see you in my dreams There we'll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory I'll see you in my dreams, oh (Instrumental break) The truth, oh it's there for you to see Sometimes it's painful to be on your own, on your own I'll see you in my dreams There we'll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory I'll see you in my dreams Back in my arms again, and no matter what tomorrow brings I'll see you in my dreams, oh, oh, oh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: NO WAY OUT Late, late last night, I saw a face that touched my soul I knew that the time was right, so I moved on in and said hello First we started talking, then we started walking She said: "I live 'long the next bent, have you met my boyfriend?
