gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no Soul, I hear you
calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me And if I should
falter Would you open you arms out to me We can make love not war

his lover

2. CARELESS WHISPER – GEORGE MICHAEL I feel so unsure As I take
your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies,
something in your eyes Calls to mind the silver screen And all its
sad good-byes I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no
rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool
-
Should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the
chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I
danced with you Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good
friend To the heart and mind Ignorance is kind There's no comfort
in the truth Pain is all you'll find I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know
you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance
again The way I danced with you Never without your love Tonight the
music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's
better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to
say We could have been so good together We could have lived this
dance forever But no one's gonna dance with me Please stay And I'm
never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's
easy to pretend I know you're not a fool
-
Should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the
chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I
danced with you 3. DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’ - JOURNEY Just a small town
girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin'
anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in south Detroit He took
the midnight train goin' anywhere A singer in a smoky room A smell
of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It
goes on and on, and on, and on Strangers waiting Up and down the
boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Working
hard to get my fill Everybody wants a thrill Payin' anything to
roll the dice Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some
were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and
on, and on, and on
-
Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows
searching in the night Streetlights, people Living just to find
emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Don't stop believin' Hold on
to the feelin' Streetlights, people Don't stop believin' Hold on
Streetlights, people 4. DON’T YOU WANT ME – THE HUMAN LEAGUE You
were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I
picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around Turned you
into someone new Now five years later on, you've got the world at
your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget, it's
me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too
Don't, don't you want me? You know I can't believe it When I hear
that you won't see me Don't, don't you want me? You know I don't

to find You think you've changed your mind You'd better change it
back or we will both be sorry

13. TIME AFTER TIME – CYNDI LAUPER Lying in my bed, I hear the
clock tick and think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is
nothing new Flashback, warm nights Almost left behind Suitcase of
memories Time after Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far
ahead You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said Then you
say, "go slow" And I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're
lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall,
I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time If you're lost,
you can look and you will find me Time after time
-
If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has Turned to gray Watching
through windows You're wondering if I'm okay Secrets stolen from
deep inside And the drum beats out of time If you're lost you can
look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch
you, I'll be waiting Time after time If you're lost, you can look
and you will find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you,
I will be waiting Time after time You say, "go slow" I fall behind
The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look and you will
find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I'll be
waiting Time after time If you're lost, you can look and you will
find me Time after time If you fall, I will catch you, I will be
waiting Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after
time Time after time

14. TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART – BONNIE TYLER (Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely And you're never
coming 'round (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit
tired Of listening to the sound of my tears (Turn around) Every now
and then I get a little bit nervous That the best of all the years
have gone by (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit
terrified And then I see the look in your eyes (Turn around, bright
eyes) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I
need you more than ever And if you only hold me tight We'll be
holding on forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll
never be wrong Together we can take it to the end of the line Your
love is like a shadow on me all of the time (All of the time) I
don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a
powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight

upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a
time there was light in my life

15. WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? – TINA TURNER You must
understand though the touch of your hand Makes my pulse react That
it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl Opposites attract It's
physical Only logical You must try to ignore that it means more
than that, oh! What's love got to do, got to do with it? What's
love but a second hand emotion? What's love got to do, got to do
with it? Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken? It may seem
to you that I'm acting confused When you're close to me If I tend
to look dazed I've read it someplace I've got cause to be There's a
name for it There's a phrase that fits But whatever the reason you
do it for me, oh! What's love got to do, got to do with it? What's
love but a second hand emotion? What's love got to do, got to do
with it? Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken? I've been
taking on a new direction But I have to say I've been thinking
about my own protection It scares me to feel this way, oh! What's
love got to do, got to do with it? What's love but a second hand
emotion?
-
What's love got to do, got to do with it? Who needs a heart when
a heart can be broken? What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion? What's love got to
do, got to do with it? Who needs a heart when a heart can be
broken?
