LYRICS FROM "DEBORAH", BY DEBORAH GIBSON (Original Collector's Edition -- The new version replaces the two "Funny Girl" songs with remixes of "Only Words" and "Only in My Dreams.") --- ODE TO A WOULD BE LOVER Written by Deborah Gibson Lay your head down by my side Look that way just one more time And promise me...nothing I know time isn't ours to keep But that doesn't mean I can't watch you sleep Listen to the strength of silence There's a sweet sensibility And darling that is enough for me I know you are taken But, do I get to you just a little bit I know I'm as close as I'm gonna get And though my heart is close to breaking CHORUS Oh if you're any kind of man at all You know the woman I am So darling don't be afraid I won't break plans you've made I will be just a friend Flowers grow in the month of May And they brighten my every day You're here for me now and I'm laughing And though I crave your soulful kiss I can deal with it as it is Two tall ships passing CHORUS I don't doubt for a moments time The heart's not a mirror of the mind But think it through anyway And if you wake up a lonely child And want to escape for a little while Come to me and we'll dance out in the rain Friend or lover we can dance out in the rain If I said I'm in love with you Tell me what then would you do ? --- MOONCHILD Written by Deborah Gibson & Joy Swinea Na na na na na............ Moonchild moonchild All day long I wait for the sun to disappear So I can free myself in the cool night air Take down my hair and feel the wind on my shoulders With every breeze I feel my heart grow bolder and bolder CHORUS Moonchild, love it when your light shines down on me Moonchild, want someone to dance the dream Moonchild, wrap me up beneath the stars Moonchild, come to me when the night grows dark Tell me who you are, moonchild I swear that I can feel your arms around me now I know you're somewhere ooh so I'm reaching out All day a misty shadow follows me I can hear you calling, darling, can't you see I'm your CHORUS Moonchild, moonchild Moonchild, moonchild I'm your CHORUS --- ONLY WORDS Written by Deborah Gibson Baby take my hand and I'll take you higher 'Cause my one desire is you and I need you now More than ever if it takes forever and I know These things are things you've heard But up 'til now they were only words CHORUS Only words Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun Blinding me with spirit In the night my private soul can hear it Common as the hummingbirds But they were only words Now I feel like a wise old man I now understand all the hows, the whens, the whys These thoughts are mine for the very first time Love it springs, it blooms, eternal and true It may sound like nothing new to you CHORUS Here's hoping that we'll never break the silence Here's hoping that we never run from ourselves Here's hoping "can't" and "never", "not now" And "gee it's time to go" are words we'll never know --- NATURALLY Written by Deborah Gibson Sorry if I didn't do that, didn't do that It's just that I don't know you anymore What turns you on, What has been turning you off 'cause I hear you talking behind closed doors What do they say all these friends of yours And why are they no longer friends of mine Do they remember CHORUS When we didn't have to touch It's just that it meant so much And all hesitation was gone We didn't analyze We didn't have to do anything It just came naturally Wasn't it you who used to read my mind I'd pick up the phone and you were there Now it's as if you are a step behind It was an effortless affair Under the moon I made promises That I really thought I'd keep back then Do you remember CHORUS I don't want to let go I'd be letting down you and me and everyone That hung their hopes upon Our love and our trust Where has all the goodness gone? Do you remember CHORUS --- NOBODY'S YOU Written by Deborah Gibson Please don't Go away don't Leave me to face the crowds alone Oh don't you know you're my home Please stay, just one more night stay Then if you must move on without me Wait til my wits are about me Deep in your heart know though I'll start anew Nobody's you I will always compare them always to you, no they don't stand a chance They'll try poor souls but won't come close Save me, dance close and save me Truth will be known I will not be whole without you here to hold But if you must go like lovers often do Know nobody's you Oh if it's pleasure I seek then pleasure I'll find I'll even go so far as to say a treasure will be mine But, oh there's gold and then there's diamonds my darling Precious and few a gem of the earth the magic of you Give in, go on and give in I am what you are to me too A light in a dark room Try as they do Nobody's you Though they move me too Nobody's you --- CRY TONIGHT Written by Deborah Gibson & Joy Swinea Hey, I'm the one he left you for Can I come in? 'cause the wolf is at my door He said that it was you Now that just doesn't ring true Like it did when I thought he was mine Please let me inside, oh... CHORUS I just want to cry tonight And I know you'll understand How much I hurt inside 'cause I know that you know the man I know he had his way with us Are you afraid he stole your pride? Out of sight isn't out of mind So don't you want to cry tonight? Hey did he say you hung the moon? And you made it shine in a sky he never knew Well I've got news for you I hung the moon too Ain't it funny how that moon turns blue When there's someone new CHORUS Who would have thought We'd be each other's shoulder to cry on Life sure holds the strangest surprises And they're not always sweet, no CHORUS I just want to cry tonight And I know you'll understand How much I hurt inside 'cause I know that you know the man I know he had his way with us I'm so afraid he stole my pride Out of sight isn't out of mind More than memories are left behind Hey, don't you want to cry tonight? --- WHERE I WANNA BE Written by Deborah Gibson Talking all the talk that makes me feel strong Going all the places where smiles greet me Can't get it through my head that I did nothing wrong It would be easier if I had myself to blame But it's pouring rain under my umbrella CHORUS I tried walking around, 'round these streets by myself Said "pretty girl don't look down" But I could look no place else The smiles, the bed, the telephone And I still can't make him see And I can't call this life my own Cause I'm not where I want to be Going out with the girls on a saturday night Reaching out to strangers so I don't feel deeply moved Yeah they're my friends and I like them alright But they can't do the things that we used to do So I've got to see that I miss you baby CHORUS It's amazing how one little broken heart Can radiate so much pain Some guy looked at me and then he turned away Saw my eyes sayin' I will never fall again CHORUS --- BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE Written by Deborah Gibson Don't close your hand Just close your eyes And I will stay right by your side And if this world turns cruel & cold Look to the skies Don't you see the truth? The power of one, the power of two The power of me loving you CHORUS Butterflies are free Free to come and go Free to spread their wings Know that I know You'll come back to me Cause love like butterflies are free You see a light You hear the call And if I don't see you fly I don't know you at all So go on and roam See all that you can Born unto this earth a curious soul You and you alone can make you feel whole But I don't add truth you've never known CHORUS The tighter the grip The more you'll resist It's human nature I suppose But I'd rather be surprised by a kiss Then under your control CHORUS --- GIVE ME YOUR LOVE Written by Deborah Gibson Baby why do you not love me Why do you not see me in the light that I see you in Don't you ever need me in the still of the night I've been there in your shoes feeling strong, feeling innocence Nothing short of a miracle could make it make sense Oh darling CHORUS I gave you the moon, the stars above You think you would give me your love Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun You think you would give me your love I know all that's in your rulebook I took more than one look And I know you are the proud type But I hate game playing, yes I know how to win But it's not fair to me You should move 'cause you're wanting to Not because I fly Can you only view your dreams when they're Up there in the sky Oh, darlin... CHORUS --- JUST WASN'T LOVE Written by Deborah Gibson Blame it on the blues you sing Blame it on anything and everything Blame it on a lack of faith or a twist of fate 'Til it makes you feel okay Then come to terms with the fact It was over because it was CHORUS It wasn't the time It wasn't the place Or my frame of mind, or the look on your face It wasn't the road we were on Or the days, though there were not enough Sad to say It just wasn't love Oh, I thought that you were the one Saw forever It was here and it was gone I needed a reason clear things don't disappear And that's how I found the truth It's just how the story goes We've been over it a hundred times CHORUS Some things need no explanation No chance for will thats free (oh no, no) Some things kill every reason we have To ever believe things are what they seem CHORUS --- I CAN'T Written by Deborah Gibson The writing's on the wall And the words it spells aren't very nice Although I'm me, you're you I've been down that road once or twice And it's ended in disaster And someone's heart always breaks But, I cannot help but wonder 'bout the love that we might make CHORUS I should walk away from you now Should just turn right around Should say I'm never gonna fall for you But I can't I've counseled many peers In situations milder than this And my advice to them Was at all costs avoid that first kiss But we've waltzed in dreams already And I never could tell lies And I can't resist the wonder That is there behind those eyes CHORUS Dangerous as it may be I want to dance this dance Let the world take me baby But not before I take this chance I've told your heart good-bye So why does mine refuse to hear? I've pondered what and why I tremble when you are near You're the drink that makes me thirsty But I crave you just the same CHORUS --- PEOPLE Written by Bob Merrill & Jule Styne We travel single-o Maybe we're lucky but, I don't know With them just let one kid fall down And seven mothers faint I guess we're both happy But maybe we ain't People, people who need people Are the luckiest people in the world We're children needing other children And yet letting our grown up pride Hide all the need inside Acting more like children than children Lovers are very special people They're the luckiest people in the world With one person, one very special person A feeling deep in your soul Says you were falf now you're whole No more hunger and thirst But first be a person who needs people People who need people Are the luckiest people in the world --- DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE Written by Bob Merrill & Jule Styne Don't tell me how to live just sit and putter Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade Don't tell me not to fly I've simply got to If someone takes a spill It's me and not you Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade CHORUS I'll march my band out I'll beat my drum And if I'm fanned out Your turn at bat sir At least I didn't fake it Hat sir, I guess I didn't make it But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection Or freckle on the nose of life's complexion The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye I gotta fly once , I gotta try once Only can die once, right sir? Ooh love is juicy, juicy and you see I've got to have my bite sir Get ready for me love cause I'm a comer I've simply got to march my heart's a drummer Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade I'm gonna live and live now Get what I want I know how One roll for the whole shebang One throw that bell will go clang Eye on the target and wham One shot, one gunshot and bam Hey Mr. Arnstein, here I am! CHORUS Get ready for me love cause I'm a comer I've simply got to march my heart's a drummer Nobody, no nobody is gonna rain on my parade --- I WILL LET YOU GO Written by Deborah Gibson Here we stand Each of us afraid to make a sound Hoping love will turn this thing around And I know what I must do CHORUS So I will let you go Yes fly away my love Linger for awhile Live for a strangers smile And hope it is enough You'll return But I must let you go Sometimes Two steps back is just what lovers need Not knowing that it's love that makes us free So I'll be brave and retreat CHORUS No it's not, no it's not fair darling Missing precious hours, precious days Making you figure out What I know to be true Love remains CHORUS --- All songs are copyrighted by their respective owners.
