Erotica

1. EROTICA
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone)

Erotica, romance
My name is Dita
I'll be your mistress tonight
I'd like to put you in a trance

If I take you from behind
Push myself into your mind
When you least expect it
Will you try and reject it
If I'm in charge
And I treat you like a child
Will you let yourself go wild
Let my mouth go where it wants to

Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have it my way
I'll give you love
I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love
I'll teach you how to...

I'd like to put you in a trance
All over
Erotic, erotic
Put your hands all over my body

Once you put your hand in the flame
You can never be the same
There's a certain satisfaction
In a little bit of pain
I can see you understand
I can tell that you're the same
If you're afraid, weel rise above
I only hurt the ones I love

Give it up, do as I say
Give uit up and let me have my way
I'll give you love
I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love
I'll teach you how to...

Erotic, erotic
Put your hands all over my body

I'd like to put you in a trance all over...
Erotica, romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
Put your hands all over my body

I don't think you know what pain is
I don't think you've gone that way
I could bring you so much pleasure
I'll come to you when you say
I know you want me
I'm not gonna hurt you
I'm not gonna hurt you,
Just close your eyes

Erotica, romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
I like to do a different kind of
Erotica, romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
Put your hands all over my body

Only the one that hurts you
Can make you feel better
I'd like to put you in a trance
Only the one that inflicts the pain
Can take it away

Erotica

2. FEVER
(J.Davenport/E.Cooley)

You give me
You give me fever

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever, that's so hard to bear
Listen to me, baby, hear every word I say
No one can love you the way I do
'Cause they don't now how to love you my way

CHORUS:
You give me fever, when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
Bless my soul I love you, take this heart away
Take these arms I'll never use
And just believe in what my lips
Have to say

CHORUS

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you should know
Fever isn't such a new scene
Fever started long ago

You give me fever
Fever
You give me, you give me... fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in morning
Fever all through the night

Romeo love Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put hit arms around her
He said Julie baby, you're my flame
He gave her fever

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right

CHORUS

Fever
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you should know
Fever isn't such a new scene
Fever started long ago

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, daddy, oh, don't you dare
He gives me fever
With his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his Mrs.
Daddy, won't you treat him right

Fever, when you kiss them
Fever, if you live and learn
Fever, 'til you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn

3. BYE BYE BABY
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone)

This is not a lvoe song
Bye bye baby

I keep on waiting, anticipating
But I can't wait forever
You say you love me
You're thinking of me
But we're never together

CHORUS:
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
That's why we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye

You had your chances
All your romances
And now I just don't want you
I know I love you because I hate you
And now I'd rather haunt you

CHORUS (Repeat)

You're so beautiful
What makes you feel exciting?
What makes you up inside?
Does it make you feel good to see me cry?
I think it does
That's why it's time to say goodbye

CHORUS (Repeat)

I don't wanna keep the bright flame
Of your ego going
So I'll just stop blowin' in the wind
To love you is a sin.

Adios

Uh! This is not a love song.
I'd like to hurt you.

What excites you? What turns you on?
What makes you feel good?
Does it make you feel good to see me cry?
I think it does
That's why it's time to say bye, bye.

Bye bye!

The first time and the last time
You can forget about it baby
Forget the rules, forget the fool
Forget your fears, forget my tears
You can forget about it baby, bye bye baby bye bye
You can forget about it baby, bye bye baby bye bye
You can forget about it baby
'Cause it's the first time and the last time
You'll ever see me cry

4. DEEPER AND DEEPER
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone/T.Shimkin)

CHORUS:
I can't help falling in love
I fall deeper and deeper the further I go
Kisses sent from heaven above
They get sweeter and sweeter the more that I know

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
That's what my mama told me
Round and round and round you go
When you find love you'll always know
I let my father mold me
Daddy couldn't be all wrong
(I'm not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)
And my mama made me learn this song
(You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)
That's why

CHORUS

All is fair in love she said
Think with your heart, not with your head
That's what my mama told me
All the little things you do
Will end up coming back to you
I let my father mold me
Daddy couldn't be all wrong
(Not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)
And my mama made me learn this song
(You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)
That's why

CHORUS (Repeat)

Someone said that romance was dead
And I believed it instead of remembering
What my mama told me
Let my father mold me
Then you tried to hold me
You remind me what they said
This feeling inside
I can't explain
But my love is alive
And I'm never gonna hide it again

Daddy couldn't be all wrong
(Not gonna let you slip away, I'm gonna be there)
And my mama made me learn this song
(You're gonna bring your love to me, I'm gonna get you)
That's why

5. WHERE LIFE BEGINS
(M.Ciccone/A.Betts)

I'd like to direct your attention
To something that needs directing to
A lot of people talk about
Dining in and eating out
I guess that's what this song's about

I know this is not a dining room conversation
And you don't have to listen if you don't have the time
But let me remind you
In case you don't already know
Dining out can happen down below

Everybody's talkin' 'bout
Wanting that and needing this
I'd just like to know
If you'd like to learn
A different kind of kiss

CHORUS:
So won't you
Go down
Where it's warm inside
Go down
Where I cannot hide
Go down
Where all life begins
Go down
That's where my love is

Now what could be better that a home cooked meal
How you want to eat it
Depends on how you feel
You can eat all you want
And you don't get fat
Now where else can you go for a meal like that
It's not fair to be selfish or stingy
Every girl should experience eating out
Sometimes when I come home from a hard day at work
I swear it's all I can think about

Everybody's talkin' 'bout
Wanting that and needing this
I'd just like to know
If you want to learn
A different way to kiss

CHORUS

Colonel Sanders says it best
"Finger lickin' good"
Let's put what you've learned to the test
Can you make a fire without using wood
Are you still hungry
Aren't you glad we came
I'm glad you brought your raincoat
I think it's beginning to rain

Everybody's talkin' ' bout
Wanting that and needing this
I'd just like to know
If you want to learn
A different way to kiss

CHORUS

That's where my love is
Come inside
That's where all life begins
It's warm inside

6. BAD GIRL
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone)

Something's missing and I don't know why
I always feel the need to hide my feelings from you
Is it me or you that I'm afraid of
I tell myself I'll show you what I'm made of
Can't bring myself to let you go
Don't want to cause you pain
But I love you just the same
And you'll always be my baby
In my heart I know we've come apart
And I don't know where to start
What can I do - I don't wanna feel blue

CHORUS:
Bad girl drunk by six
Kissing someone else's lips
Smoked too many cigarettes today
I'm not happy when I act this way
Bad girl drunk by six
Kissing some kind stranger's lips
Smoked too many cigarettes today
I'm not happy

Something's happened and I can't go back
I fall apart every time you hand your heart out to me
What happens now
I know I don't deserve you
I wonder now
I'm ever gonna hurt you
Can't bring myself to let you go

CHORUS

Don't want to cause you any pain
But I love you just the same
And you'll always be my baby
In my heart I know we've come apart
And I don't know where to start
What can I do - I don't wanna feel blue

Bad girl drunk by six
Kissing someone else's lips
Smoked too many cigarettes today
I'm not happy when I act this way
Bad girl drunk by six
Kissing some kind stranger's lips
Smoked too many cigarettes today
I'm not happy when I act this way
I'm not happy, I'm not happy this way

7. WAITING
(M.Ciccone/A.Betts)

Well, I know from experience
That if you have to ask for something
More than once or twice
It wasn't yours in the first place
And that's hard to accept
When you love someone
And you're led to believe
In their moment of need
That they want what you want
When they don't

Don't go breaking my heart like you said you would
Baby, you're no good
And you hurt me like no other
Lover ever could
Don't go making me cry
You're gonna say goodbye
Baby, tell me why
Tell me why cause you're gonna have to justify

CHORUS:
This waiting
For you
Just waiting
Can't you see I'm waiting
For you
Don't break my heart
(Repeat)

It was so easy in the beginning
When you didn't feel like running from your feelings
Like you are now
What happened?
What do I remind you of?
Your past
Your dreams
Or some part of yourself that you just can't love?

I wish I could believe you
Or at least have the courage to leave you

Life has taught me that love
With a man like you
Is only gonna make me blue
But I love you anyway
No matter what you do
You don't come around here
Like you did before
When you did adore
Tell me what I did to deserve this

CHORUS (Repeat)

Finally I see a different man
Only love can hurt like this can
Finally I see a different face
Tell me who is going to take my place

Don't go breaking my heart like you said you would
Baby, you're no good
And you hurt me like no other lover ever could
Don't go making me cry
You're gonna say goodbye
Baby, tell me why
Tell me why cause you're gonna have to justify

I knew it from the start that you would desert me
You're gonna break my heart
Baby, please don't hurt me
(Repeat)

Finally I see a different man
Only love can hurt like this can
Finally I see a different face
Tell me who is going to take my place

CHORUS (Repeat)

I knew it from the start that you would desert me
You're gonna break my heart
Baby, please don't hurt me
(Repeat)

CHORUS

Break my heart
Don't break my heart
Break my heart
Don't break my heart

8. THIEF OF HEARTS
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone)

Bitch!

You're a thief of hearts
And now you have to pay
How many licks does it takes?
You're a thief of hearts
And now you'll have to pay
Which leg do you want me to break?
You'll be sorry

Here she comes
Little miss thinks she can have what she wants
In a blink of an eye
Here she comes
Acts like she's your best friend
Then you turn your back and she's off with your guy

She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine
And get away with it
Not this time

Here she comes acting all dejected
So you give advice and she gives you her poison
Here she comes little miss black widow
First she spins her web and she's stealing your boyfriend
She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine

Thief of hearts - bitch

You'll do it, you'll take it
You'll screw it, you'll fake it
Undo it, you'll break it
You're over, you can't take it
You'll do it, you'll take it
You'll screw it, you'll fake it
Undo it, you'll break it
You're over, you can't take it
You can't take it
Not what's mine
I could break you
'Cause what you've done is a crime - bitch
He's mine

Here she comes little miss thinks she can have his child
Well anybody can do it
Here she comes little Susie Ho-Maker
Thinks she'll get respect if she screws it
She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine

Thief of hearts - bitch

You'll do it, you'll take it
You'll screw it, you'll fake it
Undo it, you'll break it
You're over, you can't take it
You'll do it, you'll take it
You'll screw it, you'll fake it
Undo it, you'll break it
You're over, you can't take it
You can't take it
Not what's mine
You'll be sorry
'Cause what you've done is a crime - bitch

She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine
She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts

You're a thief of hearts
And now you'll have to pay
Which leg do you want me to break?

Stop bitch
Now sit your ass down!

9. WORDS
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone)

CHORUS:
Words
They cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don't want to hear your words
They always attack
Please take them all back
If they're yours I don't want anymore

You think you're so smart
You try to manipulate me
You try to humiliate with your words
You think you're so chic
You write me beautiful letters
You think you're so much better than me
But your actions speak louder than words
And they're only words, unless they're true
Your actions speak louder than promises
You're inclined to make and inclined to break

CHORUS

You think you're so shrewd
You try to bring me low
You try to gain control with your words
But your actions speak louder than words
And they're only words, unless they're true
Your actions speak louder than promises
You're inclined to make and inclined to break

CHORUS

Friends they tried to warn me about you
He has good manners, he's so romantic
How can I explain to them
How could they know
I'm in love with your words
Your words

You tbink you're so sly
I caught you at your game
You will not bring me shame
With your words
But your actions speak louder than words
And they're only words, unless they're true
Your actions speak louder than promises
You're inclined to make and inclined to break

CHORUS (Repeat)

Too much
Blinding light
Your touch
I've grown tired of your words

A linguistic form that can
Meaningfully be spoken in isolation.
Conversation
Expression
A promise
A sigh
In a short a lie
A message from heaven
A signal from hell
I give you my word
I'll never tell
Language that is used in anger
Personal feelings signalling danger
A brief remark, an utterance.
Information.
Don't mince words, don't be evasive.
Speak your mind, be persuasive.
A pledge. A commitment. Words. Communication.

10. RAIN
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone)

I feel it, it's coming

CHORUS:
Rain
Feel it on my finger tips
Hear it on my window pane
Your love's coming down like
Rain
Wash away my sorrow
Take away my pain
Your love's coming down like
Rain

When your lips are burning mine
And you take the time to tell me how you feel
When you listen to my words
And I know you've heard
I know it's real
Rain is what the thunder brings
For the first time
I can hear my heart sing
Call me a fool but I know I'm not
I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain's top
Till I feel you

CHORUS

When you looked into my eyes
And you said goodbye
Could you see my tears
When I turned the other way
Did you hear me say
I'd wait for all the dark clouds bursting in a perfect sky
You promised me when you said goodbye
That you'd return when the storm was done
And now I'll wait for the light
I'll wait for the sun
Till I feel your

CHORUS

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, never go away

Waiting is the hardest thing
It's strange I feel like I've known you before
I tell myself that if I believe in you
And I want to understand you
In the dream of you
More and more
With all my heart and all my soul
When I'n with you
That by sheer force of will
I feel like a magical child
I will raise you from the ground
Everything strange
And without a sound you'll appear
Everything wild
And surrender to me
To love

Rain is what the thunder brings
For the first time
I can hear my heart sing
Call me a fool but I know I'm not
I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain's top
Till I feel you

Rain
I feel it
It's coming
Your love's coming down like
(Repeat)

CHORUS (Repeat)

11. WHY'S IT SO HARD
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone)

Why's it so hard to love one another
Why's it so hard to love
What do I have to do to be accepted
What do I have to say
What do I have to do to be respected
How do I have to play
What do I have to look like to feel I'm equal
Where do I have to go
What club do I have to join to feel I'm worthy
Who do I have to know

CHORUS:
I'm telling you brothers, sisters
Why can't we learn to challenge the system
Without living in pain
Brothers, sisters
Why can't we learn to accept that we're different
Before it's too late

What do I have to learn to know what's right for me
What do I have to know
What am I gonna do when I feel righteous
Where do I have to go
Who should get to say what I believe in
Who should have the right
What am I going to do with all this anger
Why do I have to fight

CHORUS

Bring your love, sing your love
Wear your love, share your love
(Repeat)

Brothers, sisters
What do I have to say
Brothers, sisters
What do I have to play
Brothers, sisters
Who should have the right
Brothers, sisters
Why do I have to fight

Why's it so hard to love one another
Love your sister, love your brother
(Repeat)

CHORUS

Bring your love, sing your love
Wear you love, share your love
Love your brother now
Show your sister

12. IN THIS LIFE
(M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone)

Sitting on a park bench
Thinking about a friend of mine
He was only 23
Gone before he had his time
It came without a warning
Didn't want his friends to see him cry
He knew the day was dawning
And I didn't have chance to say goodbye

CHORUS:
I this life I loved you most of all
What for?
'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself
What for?

Driving down the boulevard
Thinking about the man I knew
He was like a father to me
Nothing in the world that he wouldn't do
Taught me to respect myself
Said that we're all made of flesh and blood
Why should he be treated differently
Shouldn't matter who you choose to love

CHORUS

People pass by and I wonder who's next
Who determines, who knows best
Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn in this case
Ignorance is not bliss

CHORUS

Have you ever watch your best friend lie
Have you ever seen a grown man cry
Some say that life isn't fair
I say that people just don't care
They'd rather turn the other way
While we wait for this thing to go away
Why do we have to pretend
Some day I pray it will end

I hope it's in this life
I hope it's in this life time

14. SECRET GARDEN
(M.Ciccone/A.Betts)

In my secret garden
I'm looking for the perfect flower
Waiting for my finest hour
In my secret garden
I still believe after all
I still believe and I fall
You plant the seed and I watch it grow
I wonder when I'll start to show
I wonder if I'll ever know
Where my place is
Where my face is
I know it's in here somewhere
I just wish I knew the color of my hair
I know the answer's hiding somewhere
In my secret garden

CHORUS:
There's a petal that isn't torn
A heart that will not harden
A place that I can be born
In my secret garden
A rose without a thorn
A lover without scorn

If I wait for the rain
To kiss me and undress me
Will I look a fool
Wet and a mess
Will I still be thirsty
Will I pass the test
And if I look for the rainbow
Will I see it
Or will it pass right by
'Cause I'm not supposed to see
'Cause the blind are never free
Even in my secret garden
There's a chance that I could hide
That's why I'll keep on looking

CHORUS

I still believe
I still believe
'Cause after all is said and done
I'm still alive
And the boots have come and trampled on me
And I'm still alive
'Cause the sun has kissed me
And caressed me
And I'm strong
And there's a chance
That I will grow
This I know

So I'm still looking for
A petal that isn't torn
A heart that will not harden
A place that I can be born
In my secret garden
A rose without a thorn
A lover without scorn

Somewhere in Fontainebleau
Lies my secret garden
