This is the last time
I'll look across this table
And try to face a feeling I don't even recognize
This is a sad hand
That reached across and touched you
When all we'd built around us came crashing to the ground

There was a tide turning
Somewhere deep inside us
When all these years together seem lost behind my tears
Oh there were good times
But in between the dog days
I felt the pain of rumour whisper in my ears

But I still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers
But you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past

As the rain falls
I listen to the radio
And try to memorize the words to "Georgia On My Mind"
But we're no old song
We never stood the test of time
The lies inside the rumour left trust so far behind

But I still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers
But you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past

And when we say goodbye
Be sure to look me in the eye
And know the real secret
Was the thing we didn't have to hide

But I still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers
But you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads
The truth is just a thing of, it's just a thing of
The truth is just a thing of the past

Two lovers watch the news
They've got more than love to lose
As they lay there under cover
Do they really know each other

There's a whisper in the air
Don't you feel a little scared
The stakes are too high
Some have even lost a friend
And we're nowhere near the end
It doesn't help to moralize

The search is not the same now
It's more than just a game now
Love and let live
It can thrill you - fulfil you
But lately it can kill you
Love and let live
A little information's
Not too much to give
We've got to tell lovers
How to love and let live

Do you think it over twice
At the edge of paradise
If you're not really sure
Use and ounce of prevention
'Cause there's still no cure

So you smile and say to me
It's not my responsibility
You better change your attitude
Did you ask your lover who
Who was there ahead of you
You need to know the truth

The search is not the same now
It's more than just a game now
Love and let live
It can thrill you - fulfil you
But lately it can kill you
Love and let live
A little information's
Not too much to give
We've got to tell lovers
How to love and let live

I have found the one for me
We share our love exclusively
But we're all affected
'Cause we're all connected
We're a family

Love and let live
A little information's
Not too much to give
We've got to tell lovers
Love and let live

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door

Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you'll wake up
And love walks out that door

Baby, oh sweet baby
I didn't mean a word I said
You know that I love you
Can't we talk it over in bed

I never meant to hurt you
I must have been out of my head
Tell me you still want me
Can't we talk it over in bed

Talk, talk, talk it over
Talk,let's talk it out baby

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door

Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you'll wake up
And love walks out that door
Out that door

Baby, oh sweet baby
Won't let you walk out that door

Come on a little closer
Can't we just forgive and forget
Everything seems to work out
When we talk it over in bed

Too much time apart
We need a little heart to heart

Can't sleep without you baby
Oooh, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, baby
Don't end the night this way
Oooh, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, baby
Oh sweet baby
I didn't mean a word I said
You know that I love you

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door

Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you'll wake up
And love walks out that door

Baby, oh sweet baby
I didn't mean a word I said
You know that I love you
Can't we talk it over in bed

I never meant to hurt you
I must have been out of my head
Tell me you still want me
Can't we talk it over in bed

Talk, talk, talk it over
Talk,let's talk it out baby

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door

Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you'll wake up
And love walks out that door
Out that door

Baby, oh sweet baby
Won't let you walk out that door

Come on a little closer
Can't we just forgive and forget
Everything seems to work out
When we talk it over in bed

Too much time apart
We need a little heart to heart

Can't sleep without you baby
Oooh, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, baby
Don't end the night this way
Oooh, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, baby
Oh sweet baby
I didn't mean a word I said
You know that I love you

Here's your lunch money
You better hurry for the old school bus
Did you clean your teeth this morning
I know you hate it when I start to fuss
Here's the letter for your teacher
Your dinner's in the freezer
Five minutes in the microwave
Don't wait for me this evening
I'm probably working late

Your dad is coming over
With his new lover
And I don't wanna be around
So I'm gonna do some shopping
I'll buy you those stockings
I'll be back in half an hour
Oh it's my anticipation
There'd be a confrontation
I know how much it breaks your heart
Let's be pleased for him - he's trying
To make a brand new start

It's not Heaven but it's all we've got
You have to understand it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now we're living in reality
But we're gonna have a happy ending - you and me

We'll spend the weekend playing
I hope it won't be raining
When we go to the game with Dan
I know you think he's boring
But this time don't ignore him
Won't you give him half a chance
No he's not as fun as dad
But there's good as well as bad
In hanging on to yesterday
I'm not trying to replace him
Guess I'm really trying to say

It's not Heaven but it's all we've got
You have to understand it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now we're living in reality
But we're gonna have a happy ending - you and me

Together I know we'll survive
Rebuild our lives together
One day at a time

It's not Heaven but it's all we've got
You have to understand it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now we're living in reality
But there's gonna be a happy ending
Wait and see
Yes there's gonna be a happy ending
For you and me
You better hurry for the old school bus

Strong man strangles universe - he drowns the stars
Blinded by the mission of a thousand wars
He's fit and dominant - no wonder why
He loves the battle cry

Strong man is survivor - he lives to pound
Little wooden crosses in the bloody ground
He's fit and dominant - his will is truth
His hand is absolute

And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong

Strong man takes no prisoner - favors no plea
He leaves no gold in teeth of enemy
He's fit and dominant - rises above
He has no word that means love

And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong

And the world keeps on turning
And the sun keeps on burning
And the children keep learning
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong
How to grow up big and strong

Have you seen them
Playing car games
Revving up your heart
Before the lights change
Have you been there
And not been aware
That you are the victim
Of a highway love affair

Thru your window
There's a stranger
Cruising right beside you
Courting danger
When your eyes meet
For one second you believe
You're another victim
Of a highway love affair

Car games - faces with no names
Freeway lovers lanes
Car games - silent rendezvous
For a mile or two
Playing car games

Every morning there's another
Chance to fuel the fantasy all over
Are we cheating
If it's only in our minds
Have you been a victim
Of a highway love affair

Car games - faces with no names
Freeway lovers lanes
Car games - silent rendezvous
For a mile or two
Playing car games
Silent rendezvous, for a mile or two
Playing car games, car games

Darling don't you ride so fast
Don't you want to try to make this thing last
Tell me how can I prove
I'd walk through fire

I know you've had a very hard time
No I don't know the facts but I've seen it in your eyes
And this much is true
I'd walk through fire for you

We both have reason to be afraid
But a choice has been made
No love is written in stone
But I'll walk through fire
Through fire
Oh - I'll walk through fire for you
Through fire
'Cos I know you'd do the same for me

Oh baby let's run away
Let's break up some other day
Write love songs and lullabies
Make love while the skies go by
I want to prove
I'll walk through fire for you

We both have reason to be afraid
But a choice has been made
No love is written in stone
But I'll walk through fire
Through fire
Oh - I'll walk through fire for you
Through fire
'Cos I know you'd do the same for me

Flame destroy a love
Flame make it stronger
Forge a blade of love
And satisfy my hunger
So we're afraid of love
I can't hide any longer
We'll find the courage as we go

Let the little boys pretend
That they're some kind of supermen
With tough talk and alibis
And flags to defend
Things too young for us to do
But I'll walk through fire for you

We both have reason to be afraid
But a choice has been made
No love is written in stone
But I'll walk through fire
Through fire
Oh - I'll walk through fire for you
Through fire
Maybe someday we'll walk through fire
Through fire
Oh - I'll walk through fire for you
Through fire
'Cos I know you'd do the same for me

Twice in a lifetime if you're really really lucky
You may discover why you were brought here
Tutta la vita you try to find your destination
You search for the truth, you try to make communication
All of your life

Tutta la vita asking "Where is the party?"
It's not a mansion in Malibu or a facelift at forty
No you won't find it there
Love is everywhere
If you'll only dare to try

It's not on a map so we all have to muddle through
You can't get there in a car - not even your BMW
Twice in a lifetime you'll know the answer
Once when you find love
Once when you give love to another
Yes - you will find it there
Love is everywhere
If you'll only dare to fly
