Piece Of Paradise

I'm walking 'round got my eyes wide open
Still i see you everywhere
Day after day, i can say
There's times when i'm really starting to like it
{going out is all about}
People that remind me
{straight away somebody say}
It's just hallucinations
{i wonder why a lullaby}
Is playing all around me
I hope it isn't happening again
I'm asking you am i...

Chorus
Dreamin'
Everybody knows
Is something that i do while i'm wide awake and missing you
Dreamin'
I've got to get you on the line
Or i'll be dreaming for the rest of my life

We used to talk
Make love in places
Was it up on number nine
I'm thinking damn
I am not thinking
Maybe its for real this time
{going out is all about}
People that remind me
{straight away somebody say}
It's just hallucinations
{i wonder why a lullaby}
Is playing all around me
I hope it isn't happening again
I'm asking you am i...

Chorus
Dreamin'
Everybody knows
Is something that i do while i'm wide awake and missing you
Dreamin'
I've got to get you on the line
Or i'll be dreaming for the rest of my life

Bridge
Did we fight
Or did i turn out the light and drift away?
Or maybe you were just not there
It isn't quite the same
So-i'll be making real love to you

Chorus
Dreamin'
Everybody knows
Is something that i do while i'm wide awake and missing you
Dreamin'
I've got to get you on the line
Or i'll be dreaming for the rest of my life

Could you be holding out for something more,
Maybe i'm not what your looking for,
But i'll be waiting if you change your mind,
Everybody tells me it's just a waste of time,
And if i give up hope,
Well then i might as well lay down and die,
And that's why i'm asking,

Chorus
Why you always push me away?
Cuz i try to do the best i can for you,
So i'm asking,
Why you always push me away?
Cuz i try to do the best i can for you,

Seems like i've known you forever,
But still you don't know i'm alive,
Why can't we just be together,
Cuz it seems the world was made for you and i,
And if i give up hope,
Well then i might as well lay down and die,
And that's why i'm asking,

Chorus
Why you always push me away?
Cuz i try to do the best i can for you,
So i'm asking,
Why you always push me away?
Cuz i try to do the best i can for you,

I just called cuz i was thinking about you (2x)
You got to let me know if i'm getting through,
And you know that i'm only just a step away from crazy,
This is what you do to me...

Chorus
Why you always push me away?
Cuz i try to do the best i can for you,
So i'm asking,
Why you always push me away?
Cuz i try to do the best i can for you

Chorus
You say it isn't your style to just ride the flow
But if you'd like a little something and you've tried alone
Here's a first class ticket
I know you're into strange

Remember when we were so lost inside each other
But we were not alone
There were also many others
I'm one who likes to believe that people never change
Thinks back to the monument there in france
Or the club in italy where you did your dirty dancing
I like to think that people never change
Feeling like you made me feel
Do it like you do babe
Playin' dangerous games
Well they tell me not to do it
But the feeling is right

Chorus
You say it isn't your style to just ride the flow
But if you'd like a little something and you've tried alone
Here's a first class ticket
I know you're into strange

I think i still have the photograph
The scars and the other half
Of somebody's place we busted up
Now here's to hopin that you'll never change
And everything that you said to me
At times i was a little bit scared you see
So i wonder why it turns me on
Do it like you do it
Baby just don't ever change
Feeling like you made me feel
Do it like you do babe
Playin' dangerous games
Well they tell me not to do it
But the feeling is right

Chorus
You say it isn't your style to just ride the flow
But if you'd like a little something and you've tried alone
Here's a first class ticket
I know you're into strange

Bridge
And i know if we stop today
We will forever be wishing for one more day of strange

Chorus
You say it isn't your style to just ride the flow
But if you'd like a little something and you've tried alone
Here's a first class ticket
I know you're into strange

I was worried about it,
Until someone told me not to be,
I had reason to doubt it,
It was taken from me,
You heard me shout it and now everybody seems to be,
They're concerned about it,
For their white rose crunchies,
Stop sniffing 'round me for your earth bound wishes,
It isn't always as it seems to be,

Chorus
He was hoping the ties would offer grace,
Said a drop dead reason to die was all he gave,
Somebody arrived in front of my cave,
And he stopped enjoying the lies in time to shave,

It's my feeling about it,
That i never should've taken it on,
They told me to count it,
But they knew i'd trust them,
I wanted to ride it,
But now everything i had is gone,
Was some crazy diet,
But she did look lovely,
Stop sniffing 'round me for your earth bound wishes,
It isn't always as it seems to be,

Chorus
He was hoping the ties would offer grace,
Said a drop dead reason to die was all he gave,
Somebody arrived in front of my cave,
And he stopped enjoying the lies in time to shave,

Bridge

Chorus
He was hoping the ties would offer grace,
Said a drop dead reason to die was all he gave,
Somebody arrived in front of my cave,
And he stopped enjoying the lies in time to shave

There was a time not too long ago,
When you and i were still believing,
That we could make it on our own,
But i was blind to see our situation,
I needed you more,
More than i ever dreamed of,
Thinking about you,
Through all my lonely nights,
Without you,
In these arms,
I thee want,

Chorus
All i want,
All i ask of you,
All i need,
Is for you to be holding me forever,
You're my superstar,
And this love i will defend,
'til the day that we're together,
I'll be missing you

I should have known,
That it was so hard to do,
How could i have been away so long,
So long without you,
With or without,
Anybody else,
There's only you,
Thinking about you,
Through all my lonely nights,
Without you,
In these arms,
I thee want,

Chorus
All i want,
All i ask of you,
All i need,
Is for you to be holding me forever,
You're my superstar,
And this love i will defend,
'til the day that we're together,
I'll be missing you

Bridge
I'm wondering if your ever coming back,
Take your time to show me you care,
Too many lovers fall along the way,
And i don't want to be alone,

Chorus
All i want,
All i ask of you,
All i need,
Is for you to be holding me forever,
You're my superstar,
And this love i will defend,
'til the day that we're together,
I'll be missing you

I was following you downtown baby
That's when you dropped your keys
Must have been around 5 o'clock when i showed up at your door
Somebody told me it was all right
You were expecting me over
I had roses
I'd brought you roses

Chorus
I was thinkin' 'bout the last time i saw you
Your magic and your strange positions
I remember baby last time i saw you
I've yet to feel my last vibration
High noon and it's a showdown baby
I've dropped you to your knees
Super sticky on the southbound, do they know it's make believe?
Somebody told me it was all right
You were inside shining your chains
I had roses
I'd brought you roses

Chorus
I was thinkin' 'bout the last time i saw you
Your magic and your strange positions
I remember baby last time i saw you
I've yet to feel my last vibration
We could say that you were lonely for a while
Make it up yeah as we go along
It's been an hour now it's got to change
If it's ok with you
It's always ok with you
{but only if it's ok with you}
