Heartbreaker
We live for love
Promises in the dark
Fire and ice
Ooh ooh song
Hit me with your best shot
Shadows of the night
Anxiety (get nervous)
I want out
Lipstick lies
Love is a battlefield
We belong
All fired up
Hell is for children
Invincible (theme from "the legend of billie jean")
Somebody's baby
Everybody lay down
True love
Heartbreaker
Your love is like a tidal wave
Spinnin' over my head
Drownin' me in your promises
Better left unsaid

You're the right kind of sinner
To release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner
And you know that you were born to be

You're a heartbreaker
Dream-maker
Love-taker, don't ya mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker
Dream-maker
Love-taker, don't ya mess around, no no no

Your love has set my soul on fire
Burnin' out of control
You taught me the ways of desire
Now it's takin' its toll

You're the right kind of sinner
To release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner
And you know that you are born to be

You're a heartbreaker
Dream-maker
Love-taker, don't ya mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker
Dream-maker
Love-taker, don't ya mess around, no no no

You're the right kind of sinner
To release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner
And you know that you are born to be

You're a heartbreaker
Dream-maker
Love-taker, don't ya mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker
Dream-maker
Love-taker, don't ya mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker
Dream-maker
Love-taker, don't ya mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker
Dream-maker
Love-taker
Heartbreaker

We live for love
Your love's contagious, one kiss is dangerous
But I have more to risk, than you to lose
I feel passion growing, I know that love is only
Just one inch away, from striking us

We live for love, we live for love

When we get tired and watch the summer fade away
Will you think of romance, what will we do?
Is there a place where we can go?
Where time stands still for those who know?
Till eternity, we'll fulfill our desires

We live for love, we live for love
We live for love, we live for love

I never planned to win the race
But you convinced me face to face
There was never a chance of losing at all

We live for love, we live for love
We live for love, we live for love
We live for love, we live for love
(To fade)

Promises in the dark
Never again, isn't that what you said
You've been through this before
You swore, this time, you'd think with your head
No one would ever have you again
And if takin' was gonna get done, you'd decide where and when

Just when you think you got it down
Your heart securely tied and bound
They whisper promises in the dark

Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
All the warnings went off in your head, still you had to give in

Just when you think you got it down
Resistance nowhere to be found
They whisper promises in the dark

But promises you know what they're for
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
'Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
And so you put up your guard
And you try to be hard but your heart says try again

You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost

Just when you think you got it down
Your heart in pieces on the ground
They whisper promises in the dark

Fire and ice
Ooh, you're giving me the fever tonight
I don't wanna give in, I'd be playing with fire
You forget, I've seen you work before
Take 'em straight to the top, leave 'em crying for more
I've seen you burn 'em before

Fire and ice
You come on like a flame, then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love, but you'll just take a little piece of my heart
You'll just tear it apart

Moving in for the kill tonight
You got every advantage when they put out the lights
It's not so pretty when it fades away
'Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play
I've seen you burn 'em before

Fire and ice
You come on like a flame, then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love, but you'll just take a little piece of my heart

So you think you got it all figured out
You're an expert in the field, without a doubt
But I know your methods inside and out
And I won't be taken in by fire and ice

Fire and ice
You come on like a flame, then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love, but you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You come on like a flame, then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love, but you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You come on like a flame, then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
You come on like a flame, then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice

Ooh ooh song
Just when we think we conquered it
It seems we lose the fight again
But there's just no stoppin' it
It's like a bad dream that never ends
It puts up walls between us
That get harder and harder and harder
And harder and harder to remove
But we let it continue, like people in love always do
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Let's not pretend that we're unique
'Cause everybody's tasted loves illusion
We try to hide the fact that we
Got lost between the chaos and confusion
And the love we feel
Is gettin' deeper and deeper and deeper
And deeper, and deeper by the minute

But we let it slip away
'Cause we don't know a good thing while we're in it

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

"Y el amor que sentimos es mas profundo" ("The love that we feel is deeper")

Hit me with your best shot
You're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let's get down to it

Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

You come on with the come on, you don't fight fair
That's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again

Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

Well, you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place

Hit me with your best shot, c'mon!
Hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

Shadows of the night
We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

You said, "Oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself"
I said, "You can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt"
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
'Cause we got nobody else"

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

And now the hands of time are standing still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

Anxiety (get nervous)
Get nervous... get nervous
Get nervous... get nervous
Get nervous... get nervous
Get nervous... get nervous
Get nervous... get nervous

I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves
I know you think I'm freakin', but can't you feel the curves?
I swear to you this feeling, it scares me half to death
It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath

Anxiety - got me on the run
Anxiety - yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - spoils all the fun

I'm picking up the telephone, there's no one I can call
I need somebody fast, can't find no sleep at all
I wish I could relax, I just can't stop my mind
I wish I could collapse but my body's not that kind

Anxiety - got me on the run
Anxiety - yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - spoils all the fun

Can't you hear my heartbeat, hear the way it sounds?
Can't you hear my heartbeat, y' hear the way it pounds?
Just give me somethin' to slow it down, yeah

Sometimes in the city, sometimes in my car
I pound on the windows like a bee inside a jar

Anxiety - got me on the run
Anxiety - yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - spoils all the fun

Anxiety - got me on the run
Anxiety - yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - spoils all the fun

Get nervous... get nervous
Get nervous... get nervous
Get nervous... get nervous

I want out
Ooh baby, got a hold on me, I can't deny it
You locked the door and you swallowed the key
And I... and I kept quiet

Yeah baby, got a hold on me
I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you 'cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it on my own

But I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I want out!
I want out!

Ooh baby, your lovin' told on me
I couldn't smile anymore
My friends all told me, baby, can't you see?
But I wasn't seeing clear before

Now I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I want out!
I want out!

Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you 'cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it
I want out!

Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!

Lipstick lies
You've gotta admit, you paint a pretty picture
No one would ever suspect
You're so adept at the art
I hear the lonely lover sigh
You hide behind cosmetic eyes

Kiss them off with lipstick lies
Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
They won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity

You're the Picasso of pain, a fantasy in flesh-tone
And though you're never the same
You're never far from the mark
Now and then you close your eyes
To see the heartbreak in disguise

Kiss them off with lipstick lies
Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
They won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity

You see just what you want to see
Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name
Who's to blame?

Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
They won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity
You see just what you want to see

Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name

Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name

Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name

Who's to blame?

Love is a battlefield
(We are young, we are young)
We are young
(Heartache to heartache, we stand)
Heartache to heartache, we stand
(No promises, no promises, no demands)
No promises, no demands
(Love is a battlefield, love is a battlefield)
Love is a battlefield
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa

We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You're begging me go then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know, do I stand in your way?
Or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love and I'm chained to your side

We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand (Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah-ah)
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
(Ah, ha, ha, ha-ah-ah)
(Ahh)

We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We're losing control, will you turn me away
Or touch me deep inside?
And when all this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold

We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand (Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah-ah)
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
(Ah, ha, ha, ha-ah-ah)
(Ahh)

We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand (Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah-ah)
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
(Ah, ha, ha, ha-ah-ah)
(Ahh)

We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We belong
We belong
We belong to the light

Many times I've tried to tell you
Many times I've cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well
You cut my feelings to the bone
Don't wanna leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together

Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit
Do we distort the facts
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together

Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together

All fired up
Livin' with my eyes closed
Goin' day to day
I never knew the difference
I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason
Searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands
I gotta feel the kick inside

All fired up (now I believe there comes a time)
All fired up (when everything just falls in line)
All fired up (we live an' learn from our mistakes)
All fired up, fired up, fired up
Hey!

Ain't nobody livin'
In a perfect world
Everybody's out there
Cryin' to be heard
Now I got a new fire
Burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness
Movin' like a meteorite

All fired up (now I believe there comes a time)
All fired up (when everything just falls in line)
All fired up (we live an' learn from our mistakes)
All fired up, fired up, fired up (the deepest cuts are healed by faith)

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live and learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live and learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live and learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live and learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe

All fired up (now I believe there comes a time)
All fired up (when everything just falls in line)
All fired up (we live an' learn from our mistakes)
All fired up, fired up, fired up (the deepest cuts are healed by faith)

All fired up, now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live and learn from our mistakes

Hell is for children
They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child

Because Hell, Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because Hell, Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh
No, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell, Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell, Hell is for children

Hell is for children
Hell is for children

Invincible (theme from "the legend of billie jean")
This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

This shattered dream you cannot justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied
What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there's nowhere we can run to anymore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's nowhere, nowhere we can run to anymore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

Yeah (we can't afford to be innocent)
Yeah, yeah (stand up and face the enemy)
(It's a do-or-die situation)
(We will be invincible)

Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah (we can't afford to be innocent)
Yeah (stand up and face the enemy)
Yeah, yeah (it's a do-or-die situation)
(We will be invincible)

Somebody's baby
He used to be sombody's baby
Someone used to hold him close
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter
He used to matter
He used to matter

Someone cared if he lived or died
Someone held him in their arms
When he cried
And when he hurt
Someone kept the world away
Someone loved him
Someone loved him

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter
He used to matter

That was then, that was so long ago
Long before they came and took his soul
Long before he became invisible
That was when, he wasn't human garbage then

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter
He used to matter

Everybody go 'round, go 'round, go 'round
Everybody lay down, lay down, lay down

Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough, hang tough
Life a little too rough
Everybody lay down

Everybody say hey, don't nobody say no
Everybody say wait, don't nobody say go

Nobody too proud, too proud, too proud

Nobody play fair, play fair, play fair

True love
Never been no fragile flower
I always got too much to say
Never had much luck with love and romance
I guess it's always been that way

But I've been seriously thinking
About slippin' on the velvet gloves
I know it's strange
But my luck's about to change

'Cause what we got here is true love, yeah, yeah
True love, you can't buy it, no, no
You know it ain't like nothin' else
True love, you really ought to try it
You owe it to yourself to get ya some true love

You know I wake up every morning
It's the first thing on my mind
This is a permanent condition
Of the most serious kind

Now let me tell you baby
That you were sent from up above
Give me a sign, let's not waste any more time
'Cause what we got here is true love, yeah, yeah

I called the man at the video store and I said
Cancel my membership, I won't be needing it no more
Found something else to occupy my nights
And baby it's just the right
Amount of true love

I called the man at the video store and I said
Cancel my membership, I won't be needing it no more
Found something else to occupy my nights
And baby it's just the right
Amount of true love, true love, yeah

Everybody wants it, everybody needs true love
Don't get me wrong about the bad love
I gotta have good love
True love, true love, oh
Ummm...
True love
