Why does he open me only to shut me out again
Guess that's just him I wouldn't take it from another man
Guess he needs time to trust me right
So I can let him kiss me good night

Cause he has my heart in the palm of his hands
Can't get it back, oh i tried all I can
He's just so sweet from his head to his feet
If he won't love me I'm in deep

He has me singing Scarborough Fair
About a man who is so frightened of a love affair
He sets hard tasks so that his love can't pass
And ends up lonely to the last

He's dense water deeper down
He makes me forget everything my mother warned

I think about him every night
And I fall asleep holding my pillow tight

He has my love in the palm of his hand
His gentle touch made me scream out loud
His wicked kiss made me feel bliss
And he's the only love I miss

Oh he's dense water deeper down
He makes me forget everything my mother warned

I think about him every night
And I fall asleep holding my....?? (!)

I have a love that lives in me
He makes me sleep in perfect peace
He loves me strong and gently
He doesn't try to change me
No he'd never ever treat me bad
No he'd never call me names
He erases every memory of pain

You put your arms around me
Oh since the day you found me
I've been...I've been free

I love the life you've given me
We are each other's family
And I'd never ever treat you bad
And I'd never call you names
I will erase every memory of shame

You wrap yourself around me
Oh since the day you found me
I've been...I've been me
You Put Your Arms Around Me

You put your arms around me
Oh since the day you found me
I've been...I've been free

You wrapped yourself around me
Oh since the day you found me
I've been...I've been me

Your gentle love
Is everything i dreamed of
Since i first heard of love
So long ago, ...so long ago
When there was only fear
And it still lives inside me here
Like a good friend i don't want near

Who wears the scars of the war between me and the stars?
The mother and the father of all wars
Look in my heart,
My raging heart
The one that's still smashed all apart
My raging heart,
Is just like yours

But if the truth be told
It's time for all those things to get old
And time to let go

Oh pain and fear
And anything that don't keep happiness near
For love is ours
God knows we are in it with our hearts

Will you love my heart?
The one that's still smashed all apart
My raging heart
Will you love my heart like i love your heart?
Your tender, gentle heart
Your heart that's still so sore

Let love be ours, ours, ours
Let be ours

My aching heart, my aching heart

I wanna go walking with you
If you'd agree
I wanna do some talking with you
Where no one can see

I wanna go dancing darling
If you agree
I think I'd feel a safe step darling
If you were with me

And when you wrap your arms around me
When you take me close and say
That you're so happy and so glad you found me
You take my rainy days and make them go away

Long time I've been thinking of you
Do you think of me too?
Long time I've been dreaming of you
Make this dream come true

Long time I've been wondering about this
Can this really exist
I think I feel a peaceful feeling
In the warmth of your kiss

And when you wrap your arms around me
When you take me close and say
That you're so happy and so glad you found me
You take my rainy days and make them go away

On this journey may the good lord guide us
And may the goddess dance beside us

And when you wrap your arms around me
When you take me close and say
That you're so happy and so glad you found me
You take my rainy days and make them go away

And when you wrap your arms around me
When you take me close and say
That you're so happy and so glad you found me
You take my rainy days and make them go away

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms round every boy I see
but they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
he said girl you better try to have fun
no matter what you do
but he's a fool

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted momma
in the backyard
all died when you went away

I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try

nothing compares
nothing compares to you

They ask me how i feel
And if my love is real
And how i know i'll make it through
They look at me and frown,
And like to drive me from this town,
They don't want me around
'cause i believe in you

They show me to the door,
They say "don't come back no more"
'cause i don't be like they'd like me to,
And i, i walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But i don't feel alone
'cause i believe in you.

I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter,
I believe in you even though we be apart
I believe in you even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart

Don't let me drift too far,
Keep me where you are
Where i will always be renewed
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than i could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you

I believe in you when a winter turn to the summer,
I believe in you when white turns to black,
I believe in you even though i be outnumbered
Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back

Don't let me change my heart,
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue
And i, i don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know i will sustain
'cause i believe in you

my love i bring to you
my heart and soul to you
Jah say i must give it to you
i want you to know it's true

Mankind know yourself
think of love and nothing else

there is so much corruption
among nations

Jah say i must deliver this message
accept it and always be blessed
people you must come to realization
without love there is no real communication

my love i bring to you

Jah say i must give it to you

I love you my hard englishman
Your rage is like a fist in my womb
Can't you forgive what you think I've done
And love me - I'm your woman

And I desire you my hard englishman
And there is no more natural thing
So why should I not get loving
Don't be cold englishman

How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do

Ah, please talk to me englishman
What good will shutting me out get done
Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons
Oh listen - englishman

I've honoured you - hard englishman
Now I am calling your heart to my own
Oh let glorious love be done
Be truthful - englishman

How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do

I will walk in the garden
And feel religion within
I will learn how to run with the big boys
I will learn how to sink and to swim

And there's talk in the houses
And people dancing in rings
Ah, when you close my eyes, babe?
I can see most everything
I can see most everything

It's just like u said it would b
It's Just like u said it would b
It's just like u said it would b
It's Just like u said it would b

I can see too many mouths open
Too many eyes closed, ears closed
Not enough minds open
Too many legs open
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, do

Why isn't it why why
I don't see why I listen, why, why
When I've walked in the garden
When I'm walking off stage
When everything's quiet

Will you stay?
Will you be my lover?
Will you be my mama?

I said will you be my lover?
I said will you be my babe?

When I lay down my head
At the end of my day
Nothing would
Nothing would please me better
Than I find that you're there
When I lay down my head
At the end of my day

Nothing would
Nothing would please me better
Than I find that you're there when I wake

Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b

Will you be my lover?
Will you be my mama?

Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b
Just like u said it would b

I'm not no red football
To be kicked around the garden

No no I'm a red christmas-tree ball
And I'm fragile

I'm not no animal
Though I am to you
I'm not no crocodile
Like the one in Dublin Zoo

Who lived in a cage
the length and breadth of his body
In a window which people would look through

And throw coins on his back to taunt him
'though he couldn't move
Even if he wanted to

I'm not no animal in the zoo
I'm not no whipping boy for you
You may not treat me like you do
I'm not no animal in the zoo

My skin is not a football for you
My head is not a football for you
My body's not a football for you
My womb is not a football for you

I'm not no animal in the zoo
This animal will jump up and eat you

I'm not no animal in the zoo
And I've every intention
Of leaping up and getting you

The woman named Iris gave birth to the goddess
In her son who can't say his name
Because of all the pain

I miss you, but I'm gald you're gone
I want you but I'm not alone
I'm haunted by you
But I'll get you gone if it takes me all my life long

Take back the pain you gave me
Take back what doesn't belong to me
Take back the shame you gave me
Take back what doesn't belong to me

I'm Irish, I'm English, I'm Moslem, I'm Jewish,
I'm a girl, I'm a boy
And the goddess meant for me only joy

And real love requires you, give up those loves
Whom you think you love best
Love puts you through the test
And only loyal love will bring me happiness

Take back the rage you gave me
Take back the hatred you gave me for me
Take back the anger that nearly killed me
Take back what doesn't belong to me

And real love requires you
Give up those loves
That you think you love best
Love put you through the test
And only loyal love will bring me happiness

Take back the pain you gave me
You take back what doesn't belong to me
Take back the blame you gave me

Take back what doesn't belong to me
Take back what doesn't belong to me
Take back what doesn't belong to me
Take back what doesn't belong to me

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

I am not like I was before
I thought that nothing would change me
I was not listening anymore
Still you continued to affect me
I was not thinking anymore

Although I said I still was
I'd said "I don't want anymore"
Because of bad experience
But now I feel so different

I feel so different
I feel so different

I have not seen freedom before
And I did not expect to

Don't let me forget now I'm here
Help me to help you to behold you
I started off with many friends
And we spent a long time talking
I thought they meant every word they said
But like everyone else they were stalling

And now they seem so different
They seem so different
They seem so different

I should have hatred for you
But I do not have any
And I have always loved you
Oh you have taught me plenty

The whole time I'd never seen
All you had spread before me
The whole time I'd never seen
All I'd need was inside me
Now I feel so different

I feel so different
I feel so different
I feel so different
I feel so different

A lark born only for you
Who sings only to you

For only to adore you

This is my grief for you
For only the loss of you
The hurting of you

There are rays on the weather
Soon these tears will have cried
All loneliness have died

The memories u bring
Make my eyes both sting
I can't help that pain that's tearing
At my throat and my chest
Where everything is kept

When I start remembering
How the clothes that u wore
Made my heart so sore

I just couldn't think anymore
Of u once u were gone
And it's been so long

I've been carrying on
And if u ever come home in the night
Darling I'd treat u right,
Oh darling I'd treat u right

U got into your car and drove as far
As u could and even further
And no matter how I sang
I just never can
Stop needing your hand

Though I got into my own car and drove as far
As I could so that I might forget u
I never could, does that mean I'm no good?
If it doesn't it should

But if u ever came home in the night
Darling I'd treat u right
Oh darling I'd treat u right

If u ever came home in the night
Darling I'd treat u right
Darling I'd treat u right
And I'd treat u right

Love hurts, Love scars
Love wounds, and mars any heart
Not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts

I'm young , I know, But even so
I know a thing or two, and I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts......Ooh, ooh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true ,I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts......
Ooh, ooh love hurts,Ooh, ooh love hurts

I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie,Made to make you blue
Love hurts......

I loved you
I loved you

Your face blue
Your eyes too
Your mouth too
Your mouth too

When I heard you
I wanted you
Give birth to you
Give birth to you

I made love to you
Made love to you
The great goddess
Had us blessed

The last time I saw you
I fought with you
I fought with you
I didn't mean to
I didn't mean to

Oh say you'll see me
Let me say sorry
The next time I see you
I'll love you
I'll be sweet to you
I'll take you to
My healing room

Oh we both know
How loneliness goes

Everytime I see you
I want you
I want you
The more I do
You hate me to

But the great goddess
Has us blessed
