Sweat my youth away
With the rules we have to play
Speeding through your magazine
Pistol, pavement, no T.V.
Talk and talk
No time, night time
Burnt inside
Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul
Now here comes my job
Credit, bleeding with the mob
Dreams become ideals
No one knows the way I feel
Love to love
Daytime, right time
All my life

Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul
Feel safe in the crowd
An no one admits they're crying aloud
My career fits like a glove
Knowing no orders can come from above
Work and work
Full time, part time
Anytime at all
As you face the wall
God make it this time or never at all
Before your chance has gone
Captain this lead role and you'll be the one
Shine and shine
This time, my time
Make me free at last

Hold on, little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
Broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too (feel it too)
Waited on a line of greens and blues (waited on a line)
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
The game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you
I'm the one who wants to be with you (I'm the one, yeah)
Deep inside I hope you feel it too (feel it too)
Waited on a line of greens and blues (waited on a line, yeah)
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
Broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby, come on over

Deep inside I hope you feel it too (feel it too)
Waited on a line of greens and blues (waited on a line, yeah)
Just to be the next to be with you
Why be alone when we can be together, baby?
You can make my life worthwhile
I can make you start to smile
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you (I'm the one)

There've been times in my life
I've been wonderin' why
Still, somehow I believed we'd always survive
Now, I'm not so sure
You're waiting here, one good reason to try
But, what more can I say? What's left to provide?
Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
Your back's to the corner
(This is it)
Don't be a fool anymore
(This is it)

The waiting is over, no, don't you run
No way to hide
No time for wonderin' why
It's here, the moment is now, about to decide
Let 'em believe
Leave 'em behind
But keep me near in your heart
Know whatever you do, I'm here by your side
For once in your life, here's your miracle
Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
(This is it)
Until it's over and done
Oh oh oh oh
(Who makes the choice of how it goes?)
It's not up to me this time
(You know)
Comes a day in every life
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
You're goin' no further

One way or another

Because of him
This world has hope again
Because of him
This world has got a friend
A friend that will eradicate
All life's false humanity
Helping one race, one creed
To meet their need
This world has hope again
Because of him
This world has got a friend
A friend that will eradicate
All life's false humanity
Helping one race, one creed
To meet their need
So that all may see
That it's all so wonderful to care
To love, to cull, to share
To love, to cull, to share
Oh, let us start today
To live and die the same way
Because of Him
That it's all so wonderful to care
To love, to cull, to share
To love, to cull, to share
Oh, let us start today
To live and die the same way
Because of Him

You said you needed full time help
'cause you're all alone
I said I'd work for nothing at all
If I just could take you home
And now you're taking applications
For your love
You wanted certain specifications
I circled the one that said all the above
'cause you're all alone
I said I'd work for nothing at all
If I just could take you home
And now you're taking applications
For your love
You wanted certain specifications
I circled the one that said all the above
Work... for love
Finally got my resume
And you said you'd reviewed it some other day
I said, 'girl, hey, do it if you dare
Where I'd like to go our love will flare'
Finally my letter arrived
And I knew you would be mine
Instead I had to prove my turf
For the first two weeks work overtime
Work... for love
You've got to work
You've got to work for love
Finally got my resume
And you said you'd reviewed it some other day
I said, 'girl, hey, do it if you dare
Where I'd like to go our love will flare'
Finally my letter arrived
And I knew you would be mine
Instead I had to prove my turf
For the first two weeks work overtime
Work... for love
You've got to work
You've got to work for love

I can still recall the time
She said she was always mine
Then she left (as people do,)
And forgets what we've been through
(Does this sound familiar to you ?)
It's not that she's gone away
It's the things I hear she has got to say
About me - and about my friends
When we've got no defence.
She said she was always mine

About me - and about my friends
When we've got no defence.
That's her: I'll never believe her again.
She might have deceived all my friends
I know they will see in the end
What it all means when she says (Yeah!)
I want you back (She says)
But what's worse: She thinks it's true
But that's just her (She always was a little bit confused!)
She's not worth the time I had to lose.

I can't stand to see you sad
I can't stand to hear you cry
If you can't tell me what you need
All I can do is wonder why
Someday, someway
Someday, someway
Someday, someway
Maybe I'll understand you
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
I'll love you for my whole life through
I can't stand to hear you cry
If you can't tell me what you need
All I can do is wonder why
Someday, someway
Someday, someway
Someday, someway
Maybe I'll understand you
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
I'll love you for my whole life through
After all you've done for me
All I really want to do
Is take the love you've brought my way
And give it all right back to you
Someday, someway
Someday, someway
Someday, someway
Maybe I'll understand you
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
I'll love you for my whole life through
All I really want to do
Is take the love you've brought my way
And give it all right back to you
Someday, someway
