We're running with the Shadows Of The Night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
You said - oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
Cause we got nobody else
CHORUS:
We're running with the Shadows of the Night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight
We're running with the Shadows of the Night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
We're running with the Shadows of the Night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
And now the hands of time are standin' still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will
CHORUS

Looking For A Stranger
I had it with the same old routine
I had it with the same old faces, places
Every night, in my life
I started feeling washed up, washed out
Hung up, wrung out, left to dry out
Every night
But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life
Tonight
I'm tired of the same old
Hello baby, how ya doin', come here often?
Where have you been all my life?
Every night
But I know that someday, somewhere
I'll turn around and you'll be there
Ooh, in my life
Every night
And I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life
Tonight
Aww
And I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life
Oh, oh, tonight
I had it with the same old faces, places
Every night, in my life
I started feeling washed up, washed out
Hung up, wrung out, left to dry out
Every night
But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life
Tonight
I'm tired of the same old
Hello baby, how ya doin', come here often?
Where have you been all my life?
Every night
But I know that someday, somewhere
I'll turn around and you'll be there
Ooh, in my life
Every night
And I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life
Tonight
Aww
And I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life
Oh, oh, tonight

Anxiety (Get Nervous)
Get nervous, get nervous
Get nervous, get nervous
Get nervous, get nervous
Get nervous, get nervous
Get nervous, get nervous
I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves
I know you think I'm fakin', but can't you feel the curves?
I swear to you I feel it, it scares me half to death
It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath
Anxiety, got me on the run
Anxiety, yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety, can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, spoils all the fun
I'm picking up the telephone, there's no one I can call
I need somebody bad tonight, can't find no sleep at all
I wish I could relax, I just can't stop my mind
I wish I could collapse but my body's not that kind
Anxiety, got me on the run
Anxiety, yeah, I just need someone
Get nervous, get nervous
Get nervous, get nervous
Get nervous, get nervous
Get nervous, get nervous
I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves
I know you think I'm fakin', but can't you feel the curves?
I swear to you I feel it, it scares me half to death
It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath
Anxiety, got me on the run
Anxiety, yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety, can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, spoils all the fun
I'm picking up the telephone, there's no one I can call
I need somebody bad tonight, can't find no sleep at all
I wish I could relax, I just can't stop my mind
I wish I could collapse but my body's not that kind
Anxiety, got me on the run
Anxiety, yeah, I just need someone

Fight It Out
I heard you say you're feelin' like a change now
Maybe, baby this could be arranged now
But I warn you that no exotic scenery
Will solve your problems or make you feel easy
You say you're happy, but I see apprehension
That little laugh of yours doesn't hide the tension
The precious book you clutch so tightly in your hands
Won't help you sleep at night, won't iron out your plans
You gotta fight it out with your heart
You got to fight it, though it tears you apart
You got to fight it out, my friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when
You ask advice, then resent my observations
If I didn't care, then I wouldn't make them
Can't change the past, so why let it haunt you
Can paint the future, but first you have to want to
You gotta fight it out with your heart
You got to fight it, though it tears you apart
You got to fight it out, my friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when
I can see how much you hurt inside
I know all about the tears you hide
You gotta fight it out with your heart
You got to fight it, though it tears you apart
You got to fight it out, my friend
You gotta fight it out with your heart
You got to fight it, though it tears you apart
You got to fight it out, my friend
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
It's always the lonely who pay a price for love in the end
Maybe, baby this could be arranged now
But I warn you that no exotic scenery
Will solve your problems or make you feel easy
You say you're happy, but I see apprehension
That little laugh of yours doesn't hide the tension
The precious book you clutch so tightly in your hands
Won't help you sleep at night, won't iron out your plans
You gotta fight it out with your heart
You got to fight it, though it tears you apart
You got to fight it out, my friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when
You ask advice, then resent my observations
If I didn't care, then I wouldn't make them
Can't change the past, so why let it haunt you
Can paint the future, but first you have to want to
You gotta fight it out with your heart
You got to fight it, though it tears you apart
You got to fight it out, my friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when
I can see how much you hurt inside
I know all about the tears you hide
You gotta fight it out with your heart
You got to fight it, though it tears you apart

You gotta fight it out with your heart
You got to fight it, though it tears you apart
You got to fight it out, my friend
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
It's always the lonely who pay a price for love in the end

The Victim
You've been set up one too many times
The perfect victim for the perfect crime
You left yourself wide open to the pain
So close your eyes now
You're out walkin' in the rain
You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
Your choice of lovers, never very bright
Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight
You always think their hearts are made of gold
And you're the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold
You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're the victim
Break the pattern, you've gotta break away
Break the pattern before it gets too late
You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you're never told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're the victim
The perfect victim for the perfect crime
You left yourself wide open to the pain
So close your eyes now
You're out walkin' in the rain
You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
Your choice of lovers, never very bright
Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight
You always think their hearts are made of gold
And you're the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold
You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're the victim
Break the pattern, you've gotta break away
Break the pattern before it gets too late
You've got a burning desire to be the victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you're never told are gonna tear you apart

I hear you had a good offer down on third avenue
You tell me that was the reason for whatcha', you put me through, yeah
And now you come collapsin' back I feel the heat of your attack
Want me to take you back I'm givin' you the sack so don't waste your time

Ill Do It
Well the unseen sights look good to you
I notice how you survey the room
Awkward conversation and you're too polite
You know that's always a clue
I'm wasting my time tryin' to tell ya'
That you're making the mistake of your life
Cause you're so sure that you need to go
At any cost, at any price
But, I'll Do It
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll Do It
But when you want to come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!
Tell me, when did everything start to go wrong?
And why was I the last one to know?
You're so good at hidin' your feelings
I'm so good at lettin' mine show
Well I know how great it feels together
But that just isn't enough
Cause I need more than your bedside manner
I need someone to love
So, I'll Do It

I'll Do It

I Want Out
Ooh baby, got a hold on me, I can't deny it
You locked the door and you swallowed the key
And I...and I kept quiet
Yeah baby, got a hold on me
I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you 'cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it on my own
But I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I want out!
I want out!
Ooh baby, your lovin' told on me
I couldn't smile anymore
My friends all told me, baby, can't you see?
But I wasn't seeing clear before
Now I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I want out!

Tell It To Her
I'm the one you put all your stories on

When you wrapped up my heart, and played with my emotions

There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good

Your sweet talkin' makes her feel so safe and sure

Silent Partner
Background voices calling from a distance
See no evil, hear no evil
Static on the line of least resistance
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
I'm hanging on a wire, waitin' on the word
I'm never seen, you're never heard
The object of desire is seldom ever clear
I reach for you but all I hear
Are the background voices calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
A lover without words is easily deceived
And rumors easily believed
The matter of obsession is seldom ever clear
I turn around, you disappear
In background voices calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
Silent partners
You know they don't say nothing at all
What about the things we never mention?
What about the things we never say?
Will we wind up targets of affection?
In silence, turning silent
The silent turn away
A paramour or less, is never really sure
Exactly what to listen for
In secret service to the things they never say
The Silent partners fade away
To background voices, calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
Silent partners
You know they don't say nothing at all
See no evil, hear no evil
Static on the line of least resistance
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
I'm hanging on a wire, waitin' on the word
I'm never seen, you're never heard
The object of desire is seldom ever clear
I reach for you but all I hear
Are the background voices calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
A lover without words is easily deceived
And rumors easily believed
The matter of obsession is seldom ever clear
I turn around, you disappear
In background voices calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
Silent partners
You know they don't say nothing at all
What about the things we never mention?
What about the things we never say?
Will we wind up targets of affection?
In silence, turning silent
The silent turn away
A paramour or less, is never really sure
Exactly what to listen for
In secret service to the things they never say
The Silent partners fade away
To background voices, calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
Silent partners
You know they don't say nothing at all
