Hear & Now

I been searchin' for so long
For a love to fill my life--soldier me on
Feel the hunger in my blood
As i walk into the fire i can't get enough
Where, oh where can i find you

I have seen you and called your name
Walked the streets of my life in vain
Seen the idols with feet of clay
Pull me closer--push me away
Where, oh where can i find you
Where, oh where

Times have taught me to use my time
Journey's end is an endless climb
...when to follow and when to lead...
When to know just what i need

Where you gone g.o.d.
Have you gone down on me--don'tcha do
I ain't ready for no second-hand love
I'm no stranger to this loneliness

Leave me lonely--leave me lost
Leave me nothin' but myself to carry the cost
Now the only, only reason to come to you again
You gotta fight to win your freedom--lose your chains

Love's illusions ring all too clear
Cross my mind when i hold you near
Know your pleasure--you leave me cold
Lonely nights with my thoughts untold
Where, oh where can i find you
Where, do ya care

I don't care what the price may be
'down' is right when you're down with me
Can you tell me--am i to blame
Sing my song to your heart's refrain

Where ya gone g.o.d.
Have you run out on me-don'tcha do
All you give me is second-hand love
All i wanna do is get on down with you

All i ask for and all i pray
Meet you down on the streets one day
Have you taste life from on your knees
Hear me callin' ya 'help me, please'

Your love is my life--i live my life for your love
Only two can be right--yours are the arms that i'm dreamin' of
Though the powers that be may confuse me
I know in your heart you won't lose me
For once in my life my dream is alive
Never forgotten when i call out to you

Your love is my life--i live my life through your love
Always knew it could feel so right--yours are the arms that i'm dreamin' of
Though the powers that be may deceive me
I know in my heart you won't leave me
Our promise is made--our dream can come true
Crimes are forgotten when i call out to you

Though we're worlds apart, you're right by my side
The door it lies open--we're too hot to hide
For once in my life my feelin's are true
Time makes me certain--hear me call out to you
Your love is my life...

In the heart of the night you come on like fire
In the light of dawn leave me cold and tired
When you think of love
Tell me what you see
And when you dream, do ya dream of me
Feel the passion deep inside
It's in your blood and you just can't hide

You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Try to run but you can't say stop
Hold me baby--take me higher
Take a chance--set your world on fire
You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up

Now the truth is out--honey can't you see
I'm tied to you and you belong to me
But when we get too close i feel you push away
Nothin' i do's gonna make you stay
Tears are clashin'--worlds collide
You won't let go and you don't know why

You want some lovin' but your heart's tied up
Gimme fever--you burn me hot
Touch me baby--walk the wire
Tell me 'no'--then your heart's a liar
You need some lovin' but your heart's tied up

Try to run but you can't say stop
Hold me baby--take me higher
Take a chance--set your world on fire
You need some lovin' but your heart's tied up

Hold me baby--take me higher
Touch me baby--walk the wire
Roll me darlin'--light my fire
Spread your wings and love somebody

You're born into life--learn to discover
They take you for life--no time to recover
Work, baby work
Roll with the mob--dance to the rhythm
Give all you got and take what you're given
Work, baby work

Hold back the pain--fight for the fever
Work for your girl--work hard to relieve her

Work, baby work
Everyday you fight with your job
Fight with your lover hold back the mob
Run for your cover
Work, baby work

Break out tonite--reach out, now don't let go
Put all your guns away
Turn out the light--reach out, now let me know
It all works out-oh yea

Life, she's a bitch--grab on to it
It ain't whatcha do, it's all how ya do it
Work, baby work
Pray to your god--never say 'never'
Run for your life if it takes you forever
Work, baby work

Don't hurry now--kick back, now take it slow
Put all your guns away
Break out tonite--tomorrow surely knows
It all works out--oh yea
Work, baby work

Find yourself in the middle of the night
With a stranger in the darkness--somethin' don't seem right
Ask yourself 'whatever does it mean?'
You feel you don't belong here--still you're drawn into the scene

Take yourself to the middle of a dream
In a foreign situation nothin's really what it seems
You're not alone--through the static in your mind
There's a long-distance lover on your night-line

From outa nowhere you meet a man--says 'the time is right'
You never knew him--you can't get to him
But when ya do--you'll see the light

I put a spell on you
I'll look you up--i'll break you down
I put a spell on you

Time goes on--like a soldier in the rain
Now you've been around the world and now you're goin' back again
Tell yourself that there's somethin' more to gain
When you step into the fire you can never be the same

I see you movin'--you can't go home and you don't know why
You look for somethin'--you feel that somethin'
Will pull ya through--now wrong or right

I put a spell on you
I watch you walk--you won't get far
I put a spell on you

It keeps you movin'--what will you do when your time is right
You take that somethin'--i'll give ya somethin'
Don'tcha know--i think you might

I put a spell on you
