True At Heart

So you better wake up
Pay attention to me
I need to talk
And you need to see

What i've been feeling
Got so much inside
You know you've been stealing
My peace of mind

You never take the time to listen
You never take the time to care

Hear me - i'm talking to you
Hear me - i wanna tell you the truth
Hear me, hear me - that's all i want

Hear me - i'm hurting inside
Hear me - you better treat me right
Hear me - you're gonna lose me if you don't

I'm like anyone else
I need more than love
Need to know you're a friend
Someone i can count on
Somebody to laugh with
Someone to cry
Somebody to live with - not die

You gotta take the time to listen
You gotta take the time to care

The city's burning me out
It's time to make tracks
Let's hit the highway
And never look back
Just you and me
Take care of ourselves
Don't have to answer to anyone else ...

Cool love
It makes me feel good
It's all that i want

Cool love
It feels like dancing on the edge
Of a knife
Oh yes, i'm having the time of my life ...
Cool love

Before i met you
I was just doing time
My heart on ice
No love on line
But when i saw your face
I saw a new way out
I know you know
What i'm talking about

The night is ready
The coast is clear
Come on, come on let's disappear

You look at me
Filled with sadness in your eyes
But this should come as no surprise
It's what i have to do

Was never right
'cause someone else belongs to you
I'll say good-bye
It's what i have to do

Yeah my heart may break
That's the only chance for me to take
And if tears should fall
They will wash away
And hurt me no more
I'll make it on my own

Don't search for me
Don't try to call
Don't try to take me back
It's time i move on

I'll be all right
Yeah i will be strong
I guess we could've run away
But i'm better off alone

Yeah my heart may break
It's the only chance for me to take
And if tears should fall
They will wash away
And hurt me no more
I'll make it on my own

You come around
You're feeling down
She left you on your own

Without a sound
Your eyes
They lead me
Into the dangerzone

I know i do
Just what you're up to

I know you by heart
And i know what you'll do to me
I know you by heart
And you know that it's killing me
To see you now

You come and go
Don't wanna know
What's really inside of me

The way i feel
Is no big deal - to you - but it is to me
I gave to you everything i had

I know you by heart
I know what you'll do to me
I know you by heart
And you know that it's killing me
To see you now

There ain't no future in yesterday
I should just turn, and run away
But when you look at me that way
It makes me wanna let you stay
What can i say

I know you by heart
I know what you'll do to me
I know who you are
And you know
It's killing me
To see you now

There is a statue - out on an island
Lady freedom's got nothing much to do
Just stands alone, her face set in stone
It reminds me of me... without you

And in case you didn't get my letter
I ain't been making any head-line news
I just walk around and wish we were together
I'm gettin' nowhere without you

Millions of people... i'm that much more lonely
I'm seeing you - in every single face
My mind's insane, my heart's in pain
Without you here i feel so out of place

And if it makes you feel any better
I ain't been doing things we used to do
I just walk around and wish we were together
I'm gettin' nowhere without you

Too late to explain - why i came here
It was just something that i had to do
But take it from me - you're all i need
'cause i'm still in love with you

And if it makes you feel any better
I ain't been making any head-line news
I just walk around and wish we were together
I'm gettin' nowhere without you

I never got into magic, but the magic got into me.
I'd been tangled up in love, but afraid of being free.
Men... i don't understand them.
They take you for all you got
And leave you howling at the moon
And thinking of... i don't know what...
Yeah, i do. thinking of that man.
Is he alone? is he thinking of me?
Does he still love me?
I needed some answers. deep answers ...
So there i was on the side of town where the beggars sleep.
It was late. real late ...

But i knew she'd be open. gypsies love the night.
I heard that from a friend who once knew one.

Sure enough her light was on and her door was cracked.
The smell of incense made the night air cry out in desperation.

But i didn't care. i was looking for revelation.
So i walked in and made my way through a curtain of beads.
I put some money on the table
And she reached for a deck of cards and said: "sit."
She told me to look in her eyes.

I did... but i also kept my eye on that deck.
She gazed at a card and then she said ...

I can see that you don't really want to know
What your future holds as you travel down the road
You'd rather believe that dreams do come true
Than to find out they can lie to you

She picked the money up from the table and stuffed it in her blouse.
I said, "wait a minute ... i was expecting a little bit more than that."
She said, "what do you want me to do? turn myself into a cat?
I could you know. and i believed here.
Everything got deadly quiet.
Man, i was scared, but i didn't show it.
Then she broke the silence. "why are your palms sweating, child?"
God, this woman was good.
I asked her to read my palm. she said,
"all right, but it'll cost you another fifty,
And then i'm going to bed. gypsies hate the night...
Gimme your hand. i'm gonna read between the lines."

I can see that you don't really want to know
What your future holds, as you travel down the road
You'd rather believe that dreams do come true
Than to find he might be leaving you

She said ... i can see that you don't really want to know
What your future holds as you travel down the road
You'd rather believe that dreams do come true
So does the man who's followed you.
