1. Pamela
Oh!
Yeah!
Side by side, I'll be yours forever (yes I will)
Rain or shine, any kind of weather (any kind)
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
Let's take what's getting old and make it new
Oh, eye to eye, it's a blinding confrontation
You and I, we're a deadly combination
So don't start mixing truth with jealousy
The road we're on is clear as far as I can see
Chorus:
Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all behind (yeah, yeah)
Black and white, always go together
Day and night, you're the precious jewel I treasure
Wanting every part of you is not a crime
Or could it be that you're the one who's wrong this time
Chorus:
Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all behind
(ow, yeah)
(Instrumental break)
All that I love
Thousands of miles away, but always in my heart
Chorus:
Pamela, so don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all behind
Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may nog heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all behind
(all behind)
2. You Got Me
Momma said be careful what you do, yeah you.
She said, don't you let just anybody talk to you, no no no
I can't hide the way you make me feel inside
I'm afraid if momma only knew, it feels right
Chorus:
If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long
I confess I love the things you do, yes I do
Your caress keeps me coming back to you, only you
Chorus:
If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long
(Instrumental break)
Chorus:
If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long
Chorus:
If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long
3. Anna
Anna please turn around, we'll work it out somehow
Anna don't turn me down, there's still a chance if we can hold out once more
'Cause we started out with love, that was more than enough
And that's a lot to give up
Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
Anna you gotta stay, it's just a stage we're going through
And Anna this all can change, if we turn the page then we can start all again
'Cause we almost touched the sky, and it could never again be this right
Anna please change your mind
Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
(Instrumental break)
Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out
And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out on our love
4. Stop Loving You
Reflections in my mind, thoughts I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh, coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings
Well-intended lies, contemplating alibies
Is it really you, or is it me I'm blaming
A distant memory flashes over me
Even though you're gone, I feel you deep inside
Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes
Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl
There's a window in a heart, I've tried to look through from the start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someone's broken something new, another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing
I held it in my hand, I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Tried to catch a shooting star, what seems so close can't be that far
I'm living in a dream that's never ending
Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes
Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl
(Instrumental break)
Dancing with that look that's in your eyes
Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl
Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, Loving you...
5. Mushanga
I can't forget you, my little Mushanga, I keep a place in my heart for you
The days of waiting, they keep getting longer, and not a thing I can do
I was a poet, a magazine writer, sent to report on political views
It was by chance, through a lens that I met you, a Kingston girl with no shoes
Chorus:
[
You were runnin' down the road, I was going your way
I stopped and turned around, to lend you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering, I didn't understand
You broke into my heart, I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart, like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart, had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start, and all my tears belong to you
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh
]
I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
And loss of lives mining white man's gold
I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Where all my stories are bought and sold
I know the city would surely be saddened
If what I knew could be told
Chorus
It's been so long since I last heard your laughter
So many letters and still no news
I hope you find all the things that you're after
You know my heart is with you
Chorus
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh (repeats 3x)
6. Stay Away
You gave me too many chances, now it's drivin' us apart
I keep on runnin' with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, 'cause you never let it show
I know I'm hanging on the edge now, but I won't let go
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet I'm trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart
If you gave me three wishes, I'd throw two of them away
I've seen that look in your eye girl, I'd use the last one this way
We've been from rags to riches, but your love can't be bought
I'm just a junkyard dog, girl, who's afraid he's been caught
You're standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldn't be further from the truth
Stay away, stay away from my heart - I'm doing all that I can
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Remember how it used to be girl, makin' love like it's the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what we'd found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down
(Instrumental break)
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, but I wanna stay here with you
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, I'm doing all I can do
Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I wanna stay away from you
Stay away, stay away from my heart...
7. Straight For The Heart
Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone, but she's the type that can never be owned
He can't get her off his mind, but she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round
Chorus:
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known
Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round
Chorus
Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round
She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known (repeats 4x)
8. Only The Children
We keep hurting each other when words can't be easily said
No understanding or reason, just fear and confusion instead
We need hope for the future, and the young need a chance to survive
No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent, they're
Fighting to stay alive, can no one see the tears in their eyes
Chorus:
Only the children, only the children cry, only the children
Why do those who have plenty ignore those with nothing at all
Why must the ones just beginning, stand with their backs to the wall
They keep asking for answers and we keep on telling them lies
They only want to understand what they feel inside
The hunger that tears them apart
It's the one thing they've known from the start
Chorus - (only the children cry)
(Instrumental break)
Chorus repeats ...
9. A Thousand Years
Day after day, I feel myself slowing down, what does it mean?
The air has changed, it's getting harder to breathe, or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine
Chorus:
A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
Tell me my friend, can you imagine a place free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind and it's come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world where everything's fine
Chorus
A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years
(Instrumental break)
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine
Chorus
A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years
10. These Chains
Everybody keeps talkin' about you, I can't lie anymore
Been too long, what went wrong? It's a mystery
Why you ever walked out that door
What direction should I go? Girl what's next for me, I don't know
Chorus:
Is it gonna get easier than tryin' to break these chains around my heart
Ohhh ohhh
Does it ever get easier, without you I can't pull these chains apart
Ohhh ohhh
I see your face when I look in the mirror
I feel your touch but you're not there
Wakin' up, had enough of this dream of mine, girl this just isn't fair
What direction should I go? Girl what's next for me, I don't know
Chorus
Day by day, until they break, ohhh ohhh
Chorus repeats out
11. These Chains
Everything's gonna be alright boys, help is on the way
Hold your head up high now, there's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore
Leave the politics behind boys, they're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here, it's make or break here
Haven't we been here before - tell me what we're waiting for
Chorus:
You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
Who sings the song of the people, you don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like that before
So you're trying to shake this feeling, that trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night, like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore - tell me what we're waiting for
Chorus
(Instrumental break)
Chorus repeats 2x
