I've been a gypsy
For a thousand years.
A victim of circumstance.
I go wherever my destiny calls.
I'm caught in a game of chance.

I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
I wanna get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
Just trying to get inside.

No fame or fortune,
No luck of the draw.
When I dance with Queen of Hearts.
A jack of all trades.
But, a loser in love.
It's tearing my soul apart.

Still I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
I wanna get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking in.
I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
Just trying to get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking in.

(Solo)

The jack of diamonds
An' the ace of spades
Try to use me, and to abuse me.
It seems the dealer
Wont give me a chance.
I'm victim of circumstance.

So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking in.
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking in...
				

You talk too much,
Never saying what's on your mind,
It's written on your face,
An' in the words you hide behind.
I know what you want,
I can see what you're looking for,
I know what you want from me,
An' I'm gonna give you more.

I'm gonna slide it in
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it, in baby.

Sometimes you seem
Just like a stranger to me,
But, all the games you play
Make it so easy to see.
You're looking for love,
Tho' you try to deny,
The things you put me through
Tell me what I've got to do to you.

I'm gonna slide it in,
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in.

(Solo)

You talk too much,
Always treating me so unkind,
I know what I've got to do,
To get me some peace of mind.

I'm gonna slide it in,
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it in,
Right to the top.
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it,
Slide it in, slide it in,
Right to the top, baby.
				

I'm running away from a feeling.
Hiding my face in the sand.
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can.
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go.
I try running away from love.
But, my heart keeps telling me no.

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love.
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow.
Standing in the shadow of love.

I've been living so long in the darkness
I know the cold embrace of the night,
When morning comes I close my eyes
'Cos I'm blinded with the light.
Taking a chance of a feeling
Is like waiting for a flower to grow,
So I stand at the crossroad, baby,
Wondering which way to go.

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love.
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow.
Standing in the shadow of love.

(Solo)

I'm running away from a feeling,
Hiding my face in the sand.
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can.
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go.
I try running away from love.
But, my heart keeps telling me no.

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love,
Too Many people
Are standing in the shadow,
Standing in the shadow of love...
				

I want you
I need your rhyme,
But, you keep saying, babe,
It's gonna take time.
I know the heartache
I put you through,
Believe me, babe,
I'm gonna make it up to you.

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
To prove it to you.

So many feelings
I can't explain,
I never thought I'd ever cause you any pain
Now I'm alone here
An' I can't hide,
The sun don't shine for me
Without you by my side.

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time
To prove it to you.

An' I'm gonna prove it.

(Solo)

I want you
Right by my side.
'Cos you're the only one who keeps me satisfied.
I need your loving,
I need your charms,
I can't stand the through of you
In someone else's arms.

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time
To prove it to you.
An' I'm gonna prove it.
				

Who knows where the cold wind blows
I asked my friends and nobody knows...
Who am I to believe in love
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I looked around what did I see,
Broken hearted people staring at me...
All searching 'cause they still believe
Oh, love ain't no stranger...

I was alone and I needed love,
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of...
I heard no warning, but a heart can tell,
I felt the emptiness of love I know so well...

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love...

Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I'll look for mercy
when my heart begins to bleed...
I know good Iovin', I'm a friend of pain,
But, when I read between the lines, it's all the same...

Love ain't no stranger, I ain't no stranger...
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love...

Who knows where the cold wind blows,
I asked my friends and nobody knows...
Who am I to believe in love,

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger...
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love...
Love ain't no stranger...
				

You keep on pushing, babe,
Like I've never known before.
You know you drive me crazy, child,
An' I just wanna see you on the floor.
I wanna superstitious woman
An' she got a superstitious mind.

I can't see you, baby,
I can't see you anymore, no more.
You keep on loving me
Like I've never known before.
I wanna superstitious woman
With a superstitious, a superstitious mind, an' I don't mind, baby.

My heart is beating faster, babe,
It's beating like a big bass drum.
You know you got me speeding, child,
Faster than a bullet from a gun.
You're a superstitious woman
An' I got a superstitious mind, an' I don't care.

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy.
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone.

I don't care about, oh,
I don't care about love, no more.
The way you keep abusing me
Oh, I can't take no more.
I wanna woman
She got a superstitious mind.

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy.
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned.

(Solo)

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy.
Take me down slow an' easy,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone.

Take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy.
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone...
				

I never knew what a kiss could mean
Until the first time I kissed you,
You took my love in the palm of your hand
An' showed me what a woman could do.
Now I don't want sugar coated loving
Just silver tongue tenderness,
You gotta give me a certain satisfaction
The kind of love you seal with a kiss.

An' spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it.
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it.

I can remember, I can recall
When I first set my eyes on you,
I'll never forget the thrill of it all
Dreaming of the things we could do.
Baby, you must be crazy,
Fooling with a man like me,
'Cos I roll my dice with a heart of ice
An' make it clear to see.

Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it.
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it.

I never knew what a kiss could mean
'Til the first time I kissed you,
You took my love in the palm of your hand
An' showed me what a woman could do.
Your sweet caress an' tenderness
Can take the pain away,
The things that you do make a queen out of you
An' make me a king for a day.

If you don't like it, spit it out.

(Solo)

Now I know what your love can do
I'll be hanging 'round your door,
An' I'm gonna love you baby,
I'll give you more than you bargained for.

Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it.
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it.

Spit it out, if you don't like it...
				

Tonight's the night
To come in out of the cold,
I've waited such a long, long time
I'm getting out of control.

All or nothing
That's what I want from you,
I'm gonna give you everything I got
Now what are you gonna do.

Don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way.
'Cos it's too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you.
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do.
Too late,
You can't run anymore
Cos' it's too late for you now.

My heart is burning
An' the fire is hot,
My temperature is rising, rising, rising
I'm ready to rock.

All or nothing
I'm gonna make you see,
I've made up my mind, for sure, this time
You're gonna spend the night with me.

So don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way.
'Cos it's too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you.
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do.
Too late,
You can't run anymore
'Cos it's too late for you now.

(Solo)

So don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way.
'Cos it's too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you.
Too late,

Too late,
You can't run anymore
'Cos it's too late for you now.

Too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you.
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do.
Too late,
You can't run anymore
'Cos it's too late for you now...
				

I keep hangin' on the promise of love
Your eyes tell me that I'm gonna see.
I feel the hunger like a starving man
Honey, when you stand close to me.

I start to shiver, I start to shake,
Chills up an' down my spine,
I'm in the mood for action
In need of satisfaction,
Babe, I'm gonna make you mine.

Now I believe in you,
An' everything that you do.
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough.

I've got the weakness of an ordinary man
I need the comfort of womanly mind,
But, I get nervous when I think about
So many women an' so little time.

But, I believe in you,
An' everything you do.
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough.

(Solo)

I start to shiver, I start to shake,
Chills up an' down my spine,
I get so nervous when I think about
So many women an' not enough time.

But, I believe in you,
An' everything that you do.
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough.
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough.

I'm hungry for love.
				

I believe my love for you
Is a love that will last forever,
An' I'm here to testify
I'm a prisoner of your heart.
Baby don't you believe
When I tell you I love you
That I really mean it,
Don't you walk away,
Don't you turn your back on me.

I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion.
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it.

I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree.
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree.

I can never forget the times
When I took what you gave me for granted
So I stand accused
An' I plead guilty to the crime.
You can lock me away if you want
Just as long as your arms are around me,
An' I won't mind
If you just throw away the key.

I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion.
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it.

Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree.
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree.

Guilty of love.

(Solo)

I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion.
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it.

Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree.
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty.
