Follow these instructions Do exactly as I do Lean your shoulders forward let your hands slide over to my side Move your body closer, let your heart meet mine
Come a little closer take a look at me This light is so obvious, I want you to see Come a little closer look me in the eye Then repeat with me one more time
Love is the harmony Desire is the key Love is a symphony Now play it with me

Having troubles telling how I feel but I can dance, dance, and dance Couldn’t possibly tell you how I mean but I can dance, dance, dance So when I trip on my feet, look at the beat, the words are written in the sand When I’m shaking my hips, look for the swing the words are written in the air
You’ll be the rhythm I’ll be the beat You’ll be the rhythm I’ll be the beat Then I’ll be the rhythm And you’ll be the beat And love, the s h o r e l i n e Where you and I meet
L o v e is the harmony Desire is the key Love is a symphony Come sing some with m e

Dance, I was a dancer all along Dance, dance, dance Words can never
make up for what you do
Easy conversations there’s no such thing, no I’m shy, shy, shy My hips they lie cause in reality I’m shy, shy, shy But when I trip on my feet look at ground, the words are written in the dust When I’m shaking my hips, look for the swing the words are written in the air Dance, I was a dancer all along Dance, dance, dance Words can never make up for what you do Dance, dance, dance

Working in the corner, peaking over shoulders, waiting for my time to come Working in the corner, one day to the other, butter on my piece of bun Stepping a stone and I’m all gone, give me the tone and I’m all gone Yes I’m walking by the line, not here but in my mind Working a sweat but it’s all good, breaking my back but it’s all good cause I know I’ll get it back, I know your hands will clap I’m working, I’m working, to make butter for my piece of bun And if you say I’m not okay with miles to go, if you say there ain’t no way that I could know If you say I aim too high from down below, well say it now cause when I’m gone you’ll be calling but I won’t be at the phone And I’m hanging around until it’s all done, you can’t keep me back once I had some Wasting time to get it right, and you will see what I’m about Cause I’m working a sweat but it’s all good, I’m breaking my back but it’s all good Cause I know I’ll get it back, I know your hands will clap And if you say I’m not okay with miles to go, if you say there ain’t no way that I could know If you say I aim too high from down below, well say it now cause when I’m gone you’ll be calling but I won’t be at the phone

weep, weep, weep, weep In my weakest moments I weep, cause I like the way tears fit my cheek In my darkest moments I cry, oh how I love the way, tears suit my face I like it salt, I like wet, like my make up in a mess, so I cry hard, let it fall, and I won’t stop until my tears are all shed So so so so
I weep, I weep, I weep, I weep
In my joyous moments I moan, cause it feels so good when I let my water flow, Drip drop, and I cannot stop. Can’t stop, no I said no, Drip drop, and I cannot stop, can’t stop, I cry for you, cry for you, I cry because I cannot help so it runs, yes it falls, And ain’t no stopping at all
I like it salt, I like wet, like my make up in a mess, so I cry hard, let it fall, and I won’t stop until my tears are all shed So so so so

And don’t you let me go, let me go tonight We walk the surface of this town, with high heels above the ground, and high horses that we know Keep us safe into the night We know them all I know it all, stay put and play along Cause I’m looking for my friend, now I got you, got you
Oh solitude I’m doing fine I dance alone with my head high Oh solitude it’s all sublime To swing alone the choice is mine To wait while others play, to let my lover wait My love will come, my love will come, my l o v e For you I sing, for you I sing, my l o v e My love it burns, my love it burns, my l o v e My love will come, my love will come, my l o v e

I’m too proud for love it’s you I’m thinking of from A to B, can’t be up to me
I think I’m a little bit, little bit, a little bit in love with you, but only if you’re a little bit, little bit, little bit in lo-lo-lo-lo-love with me. Come here stay with me, struck me by the hair, I would do anything, anything to have you as my man.

these razors cutting sharp and leaves me with an ever bleeding scar, So soft, so suddenly, so that I cannot breathe I’m drawn into a circle painted black
thigh to thigh Oh I’m hanging high Oh won’t you let me down Back where I started at You know I’m a little lost
I think I’m a little bit, little bit, a little bit in l o v e with you, but only if you’re a little bit, little bit, little bit in l o v e with me. And for you I keep my legs apart, and forget about my tainted heart, and I will never ever be the first to say it, but still I, yes you know I.. I.. I.. I would do it, push the button, pull the trigger, climb a mountain, jump off a cliff cause you know baby I love love you a little bit

And when it hurts the most I’ll push a little more I’m back where I started at You know I’m a little lost Like lightning in my heart, a kiss so burning hot, I’m hanging on a thread that’s bound to drop Like rain in open skies, don’t know the reason why, but I’ll always choose the black in front of white Oh I’m hanging high Oh won’t you let me down If you would do it, if you would say it, if you would mean it, that we could do it, if it was you and I, not only I
Back where I started at You know I’m a little lost
And when it hurts the most I’ll push a little more I’m back where I started at You know I’m a little l o s t

it’s already gone I didn’t mean to fraud
If you’re going abroad I can’t help you, if you’re crossing the street I might be there And I call you baby I will and I do, Persuade you in though I know that we’re through, I let you think that I’m yours when I’m not, Keep you here though I’m ready to drop the last line,

Uh, I stand here in the corner, thinking over one two, what am I to do? Should I go home, still sober Or should I buy me another glass of wine and forget about time? But my jeans are too tight, don’t feel like dancin’ No this light is too bright, don’t feel like shining No this room is too small, rather stand against the wall and hope that no one sees me Eh eh eh eh
If you give it a minute it’s wrong If you give it a minute it’s gone If we’re just waiting a second too long Darling I’ll leave and you won’t come along

I get the creeps from all the people in here, I cannot breathe, it’s too crowded in here, don’t look at me, I dont want to be seen, touched, heard, bothered by the fellas, who got the look in their eye, they want to take me home, without knowing my name, they want to put it on but do they not know that I’m not like the others?

I sleep with windows open, I sleep with eyes wide In case you would come walking, in case you‘d change your mind But don’t strain yourself for me Don’t break yourself for me Don’t lose your selfish ways for me I keep a leash around you, and I keep it nice and tight In case you would go walking, over forbidden lines But don’t go all soft on me Don’t come across for me Don’t lose your selfish ways over me. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 a hundred times around, keep on flunking out, keep me wanting more 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 a hundred times is fine, for you I go all blind, oh my where is my mind, I keep my window open, I keep it open wide So keep me, keep it open, oh keep me on your mind
