It Ain't O

(j. spinks)

The rhythm of the rain
Breaks the silence
Beats against my window
As the moment slips away
And i just can't explain
In your absence there is nothing
I try in vain - but i can't kiss the rain

And a miracle can stay
In my mind forever more
It can take my blues away
But it can't stop the rain
And it won't stop me crying
As the rhythm starts again
Inside my head

The rhythm of your name
Undecided uninvited
Speaks to me just like you?re here again
And i just can't remain
Undecided unprovided
So in vain i tried to kiss the rain

And an orchestra can play
Any song i've ever heard
But they?ll never know my name
And they can't stop the rain
And they won't stop me crying
Oh the rhythm of the rain
Breaking in two

Unstained heart ­ untamed dreams
Unchained love ­ forever

The rhythm of the rain
Breaking the silence ­ beating against my window
As the moment slips away
I just can't explain
In your absence ­ there is nothing
I try in vain ­ but i can't kiss the rain

Late last night i was sitting all alone
You were there on the end of my phone
I was thinking 'bout you
You were talking 'bout us

In my mind i just wanted you there
Run my fingers through your hair
I was thinking 'bout you
You were talking 'bout us

I closed my eyes cos i was out of control
From fingers to the tip of my toes
I was thinking 'bout you
You were talking 'bout us

Late last night you know i needed you there
I was sitting kinda back in my chair
You were talking to me ­ i was thinking 'bout us

All i wanted was to see you undress
I could picture you more or less
I was thinking 'bout you
You were talking 'bout us

I closed my eyes cos i was out of control
From fingers to the tip of my toes
I was thinking 'bout you
You were talking ?bout us oh, la, la, la, la
Oh oh la, la, la, la

Last night it was getting kinda late
I got the message and you knew i couldn?t wait
I was thinking ?bout you ­ you were talking 'bout us

I closed my eyes cos i was out of control
From fingers to the tip of my toes
I was thinking 'bout you
You were talking 'bout us
That?s you and me babe

I was thinking 'bout you ­ you were talking 'bout us
I was thinking 'bout you ­ you were talking 'bout us

You're running out of luck
I know that you can be found
Each time i get a hold on you baby
You keep on knocking me down

This time could be your last chance baby
So don't be messing around

Lay down ­ lay down your love
Lay down your love on me
Lay down ­ lay down your love
Lay down your love on me

I?ve never been stood up ­ so don't be letting me down
This week i'm on a rollover baby
So don't be playing around

You might be driving a fast car baby
Don't drive me out of this town

Lay down ­ lay down your love
Lay down your love on me
Lay down ­ lay down your love
Lay down your love on me

(repeat chorus)

My baby's coming home in a minute
Arriving on the midnight train
I don't think we'll get a second of sleep
Once she's in these arms again
I've been waiting such a long time
Get on back where you belong
Step inside and take a cool drink honey
Tonight nothing's going wrong

I'm playing all my late night records
You're dancing in your high heeled shoes
I'm deep inside the right track honey
Just making all the midnight moves (woh woh)

My baby?s gonna do the locomotion
Tonight she's gonna ride me like a train
She won't leave me standing at the station
'cos the tunnel of love's on fire again

There's no need to get a ticket
My destination's been approved
All dressed up in something skin tight honey
This one made for me and you

I'm playing all my late night records
You?re dancing in your high heeled shoes
I'm deep inside the right track honey
Just making all the midnight moves

Make no mistake there ain't no way i'm turning you down
I don't think you'd ever laugh at the tears of this clown

Miss communication
Tell me what you see
Somewhere in your soul tonight
There's a place for me
I'm in need of someone
You could share my dream
Maybe i'm not good for you
You'd be good for me

(repeat chorus)

Growing up ain't easy
Especially when you?re young
And everyone you know is older than their years
And growing up ain't easy
When the only girl you want
Looks at you like you just disappeared

But you keep holding on
To every little thing that she's done
And if you?re chance came along
You'd make it clear

Hold me close ­ close your eyes
Dance the night away

Growing up ain't easy
When time is on your side
And you?re wishing that these times would pass you by
Everytime a door is opened
There?s nothing on the other side
Just another door for you to try and find

But you keep holding on
And hoping that you're times gonna come
And she can do nothing wrong
You make it clear

Hold me close ­ close your eyes
Dance the night away

But you keep holding on
To every little thing that she's done
And if you're chance came along
You'd make it clear

Hold me close ­ close your eyes
Dance the night away
Hold me close ­ close your eyes
Dance the night away

Dance the night away
Dance the night away

There's only so much fun i can take
Before i'm ready to break
You make it happen girl - you make it happen girl

And you can take my lovin' outside
Don't you take my love for a ride
You make it happen girl - oh it really happens girl

You know that i'm not ready to wait
I don't wanna be late

Oh chic lorraine ­ here she comes again
I've been up all night ­ love don't come no better
Ooh than chic lorraine

There?s only so many rivers i'd cross
My love's already lost - you make it happen girl
Oh you make it happen girl

I?m gonna touch you deeper inside
And that's so hard to describe
You make it happen girl - oh you make it happen girl

Don't keep me standing out in the rain
She can turn me on just the same

Oh chic lorraine ­ here she comes again
I've been up all night ­ love don't come no better
Oh chic lorraine ­ here she comes again
I've been up all night ­ love don't come no better

Sometimes she?s got a heart of stone
And i don't wanna leave her alone

There?s only so much fun i can take
Before i'm ready to break
You make it happen girl
You make it happen girl

And you can take my lovin' outside
Don't you take my love for a ride
You make it happen
Oh it really happens girl

You know that i'm not ready to wait
I don't wanna be late

(repeat chorus)
