Total Control

"Let Me Love You"
Looking at my picture
On your wall
Just like a thousand times before
If dreaming of me ain't good enough
Why don't you come to me for more

So close your eyes
And your fantasy comes true
I'm gonna give all my love
So stop feeling blue

Let me love you
Let me love you

Girl, you must be crazy
If you still believe in all the stories
In their lies
Inside your heart you know what you want
Why don't you give it one more try

So close your eyes
And your fantasy comes true
I'm gonna give all my love
Stop feeling blue

Let me love you
Let me love you

I don't need no excuses
I'm never gonna refuse
Your love

So close your eyes
And your fantasy comes true 
I'm gonna give you my love
So stop feeling blue

Let me love you
Let me love you

"Love is Meant to Last Forever"
You are my best friend
And I will try to understand
The moment you leave me
I'll be there, so just take my hand

'Cause I know that
We were meant for each other
Don't give up on me
'Cause I'll make you see

Love is meant to last forever
Oh yeah
Love is meant to last forever

I never thought you could leave me
And I believed you felt the same
And now that it's over
I realize I'm the one to be blamed

Hey listen
I know that things will get better
So hold on to me
'Cause I'll make you see

Love is meant to last forever
Is it too hard to understand
Love is meant to last forever
Why can't you hold on to love

Love is meant to last forever
You gotta hold on to love
Love is meant to last forever
Hold on to love

"Too Many Hearts"
Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face with despair
If you won't give love to me
You are free to run from me

All the years I've seen many ways to go
All the years nobody will ever know
See the fool inside me leer
Breaking far too many hearts

Run your hand through my hair
Fill my days with your care
If you can't give love to me
I will be more than free

All the years I've seen many ways to go
All the years nobody will ever know
See the fool inside me leer
Breaking far too many hearts

Far too many hearts
Far too many hearts
Far too many broken hearts

"Someone Else Here"
There's someone else here
Watching this shadow
Reaching for you
Riding in my heart
Into my soul

There's someone else's breathing
Touching my skin like a warming breeze
What is happening if I'm losing control
Or everything that's clear to me

Losing you all the time
Watching you fade away
Trying to hold the line
Making you change your mind
Or will I lose my mind

Looking at a stranger
Who is watching me
Who is watching me
Making wishes in the night
Feel that stranger by my side

There's someone else's breathing here
Touching my skin like a warming breeze
What is happening if I'm losing control
Or everything that's
clear to me

Losing you all the time
Watching you fade away
Trying to hold the line
Making you change your mind
Or I will lose my mind

"Eternal Flame"
There was a small white shape looking down at me
She kept on asking, where do you wanna be
I thought about it and I told her to wait
She said it's okay but don't wait too long
I cried, what if I can't make up my mind
She said, into the fire you go

Into eternal flame
Into the fire
Into eternal flame

Suddenly there was a big black shape
It came to me and said, come on, let's go
I said, wait a minute, you can't do this to me
He looked back and said
Oh, too late
I've  waited to long and I'm dying

Into the fire I go
Into eternal flame
Into the fire
Into eternal flame

I am dreaming
All of the emotion is sold
And I have to go

Into eternal flame
Into the fire
Into eternal flame

"Back on the Streets"
Someone has taken your love
It's true, isn't it
Its not just talk that I hear
And when I see him build his wall around you
I know the end is near

But tell me that I'm wrong
And it's all in my mind
You've known all along
And it just make my blood run wild
And I'm dying

So I'm back
Back on the streets
Yes, I'm back to find somebody new
I'm back
I'm back on the streets
Girl, I'm back and I'm over you

I've lost your love, girl
And all that I live for
I see it in your eyes
And when I see you walking out that door, girl
Another part of me dies

It's time to move on
And I know it for sure
This feeling is gone
And I won't be hurt anymore
I'm not gonna fall

So I'm back
Back on the streets
Yes, I'm back to find somebody new
I'm back
I'm back on the streets
Girl, I'm back and I'm over you

"Blind"
You have always taken more than you need
You only want to satisfy your greed
You don't care if my heart bleeds

Oh, I know I've been blind
Oh, it all fell through
Oh, I'm out of my mind
Oh, don't know what to do

I give you my heart
But you cried for my soul
It didn't take long before I lost control
Your love sure has taken toll

Oh, I know I've been blind
Oh, it all fell through
Oh, I'm out of my mind
Oh, don't know what to do

The look in your eyes can make my blood turn to water
Sometimes I believe you're the devil's own daughter
I was led like a lamb to slaughter

Oh, I know I've been blind
Oh, it all fell through
Oh, I'm out of my mind
Oh, don't know what to do

"Law of Life"
Well, I've been hurt enough
And surely I've been away
What is worth to come back to
Makes it worse to stay

Hiding things in the corners
All those things from the past
But the paintings remind me
That we were two of a cast

Never count on a tiger
Never play with the fire
Don't remind me of home
'Cause I've been out in the west
Writing letters of love
Oh, that's the law of life

I've been filled up with hunger
For a mate to be mine
I've been building a house too
Like I've been building desire

Never count on a tiger
Never play with the fire
Don't remind me of home
'Cause I've been out in the west
Writing letters of love
Oh, that's the law of life

Sometimes laws are despiteful
And sometimes they are blind
But my longing is frightful
I'm screaming time after time

Never count on a tiger
Never play with the fire
Don't remind me of home
'Cause I've been out in the west
Writing letters of love
Oh, that's the law of life

"We'll Do What It Takes Together"
Our own reality we must face
We gotta stop the destruction race
'Cause nuclear war won't spare anyone
Unite the people and when it's done

We learn
We'll do what it takes together

Dreaming
Of a better world
Fighting
For the children
Screaming
Oh, we won't be heard
Oh, we won't be heard at all

All that we've done so far is talk
We gotta get started before it's much too late
'Cause we've got obligations
To coming generations
Time has come for us to make changes

Dreaming
Of a better world
Fighting
For the children
Screaming
Oh, we won't be heard
Oh, we won't be heard at all

"In Chase of the Wind"
Instrumental

"Wild One"
Wild one
Won't you please come home
You've been away too long, will you
We need you home, we need you near,
come back wild one, will you

How can we live without your love
You know that could kill you
How can we carry on
When you are gone
My wild one

Sure you're a wild one
Oh, you're a wild one

So you go your way
And wild one, I'll try and follow
And if you change your mind
I will be waiting here for you tomorrow

For I would beg for you
I would steal and I would borrow
I'd do anything, anything at all
To end this sorrow

My wild one
Oh, you're a wild one

Wild one
The gypsies warned of the dangers
You can laugh and joke with friends
But don't you ever talk to strangers

Although their offers may be sweet
I'd bet and I would wager
Away you'll stray
You'll never come back to
those who loved and made you

As Johnny goes the road alone
Away you'll stray
Away you'll stray
Oh, my wild one
One and only wild one
