Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Because you shouldn't fool with my mind Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Because it's really just a waste of my time Don't sneak, don't sneak on me I've been hearing sounds You've been messing around I've about had enough of your sneaky stuff Better let it be or stay away from me If you don't stop fooling around Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Because you shouldn't fool with my mind Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Because it's really just a waste of my time Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Do you get your kicks pulling ugly tricks You say you'll be at home Then no answer on the phone Just can't take no more I'm heading for the door If you don't stop playing, you'll see Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Because you shouldn't fool with my mind Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Because it's really just a waste of my time Don't sneak, don't sneak on me I hope you change your mind Be mine all the time It's my fantasy You just wanting me If you change your ways, we'll have better days Why don't you, you stop fooling around Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Because you shouldn't fool with my mind Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Don't sneak, don't sneak on me Because it's really just a waste of my time Don't sneak, don't sneak on me

You sat hurting, hurting inside Didn't you know I'd chase the hurt away You sat crying, crying inside Didn't you know I'd change the clouds from gray And I want to say Time heals every wound Don't give up too soon You got to keep trying, trying Time heals every wound Don't give up too soon You got to keep trying You sat doubling, doubling yourself Didn't you know You could believe in me You sat hiding, hiding yourself Didn't you know That I would set you free just to be with me Time heals every wound Don't give up too soon You got to keep trying, trying Time heals every wound Don't give up too soon You got to keep trying

I see a lot of love shining on me I thought it just happened I guess I'm wrong You've been loving me for so long Your love is my life, girl Your love is my life, girl, your love

Do you feel alone in the darkness of the night No one to hold you tight Something is missing Do you spend the day Watching lovers pass you by In the corner of the eye, everyone's kissing Call me when you're feeling down And no one's around Just call me Won't you call me Call me when you're near a phone And you're all alone Just call me. Won't you call me? Bet you didn't know There was someone out there Who might just relate to you and what you're feeling All you need to do is look up my address It's love and tenderness that I am dealing Call me when you're feeling down And no one's around Just call me Won't you call me Call me when you're near a phone And you're all alone Just call me. Won't you call me?

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear He could preach the bible like a preacher Full of ecstasy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher women would desire Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar But the cassock he danced really wunderbar In all affairs of state he was the man to please But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze For the queen he was no wheeler dealer Though she'd heard the things he'd done She believed he was a holy healer who would heal her son Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger For power became known to more and more people The demands to do something about this outrageous Man became louder and louder This man's just got to go, declared his enemies But the ladies begged, don't you try to do it, please No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms Then one night some men of higher standing Set a trap, they're not to blame Come to visit us they kept demanding and he really came Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen They put some poison into his wine Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine He drank it all and said, I feel fine Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen They didn't quit, they wanted his head Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine And so they shot him 'til he was dead

Since the day I met you Each day is a long day waiting for the time When I can speak to you Since the day I met you Each day's a long day waiting for the time That I can spend with you if you want me to I'm afraid to let you know how I really feel 'Cause you'll leave me And I'm afraid to let you know how I really feel 'Cause if you think you have me You won't want me And I hope that someday you will say to me That all the time you were in love with me And I hope that someday We won't have to play this game It takes too much from us It's wasted time when you're really mine Then I won't be afraid to let you know How I really feel 'Cause you want me And I won't be afraid to let you know How I really feel 'Cause if you think you have me, you won't want me I'm afraid to let you know how I really feel 'Cause you'll leave me And I'm afraid to let you know How I really feel 'Cause if you think you have me, you won't want me
