01: OUTSIDE
Who was she?

Where did she come from?

Had she eaten?

Suddenly I remembered,
it was no dream.

I was...

...in Hollywood.

Let's go outside,
let's go outside

Back to nature
human nature



Kissing all night with you

I think I'm done with the sofa

I think I'm done with the hall

I think I'm done
with the kitchen table, baby

Let's go outside
Let's go outside

In the sunshine

I know you want to
but you can't say yes

Let's go outside
Let's go outside

In the moonshine

Take me to the places
that I love best

So my angel she says,
don't you worry

'bout the things
they're saying, yeah

Got no friends in high places

And the game that you
gave away wasn't worth playing



Let's go outside
Let's go outside

In the sunshine

I know you want to,
but you can't say yes

Let's go outside
Let's go outside

In the meantime

Take me to the places
that I love best

And yes, I have been bad

Doctor won't you do with me
what you can

You see I think about it
all the time

Twenty four seven
Twenty four, twenty four seven

You say you want it,
you got it

I never really said it before

There's nothing here
but flesh and bone

There's nothing more,
nothing more

There's nothing more

Back to nature,

just human nature

Getting on back to -

I think I'm done with the sofa

I think I'm done with the hall

I think I'm done
with the kitchen table, baby

Let's go outside
Let's go outside

In the sunshine

I know you want to,
but you can't say yes

Let's go outside
Let's go outside

In the moonshine

Take me to the places
that I love best

And yes, I've been bad

Doctor won't you do
with me what you can

You see I think about it
all the time

I'd service the community

But I already have you see

I never really said it before

There's nothing here
but flesh and bone

There's nothing more,
nothing more, nothing more

Let's go outside
Let's go outside

Dancing on the D-train, baby

When the moon is high

And the grass is jumpin'

Come on, just keep on funkin'

Keep on funkin',
keep on funkin'

Just keep on funkin'

02: FASTLOVE
Gotta get up to get down

Oh, yeah

Looking for some education

Made my way into the night

All that bullshit conversation

Well, baby can't you
read the signs?

I won't bore you
with the details, baby

I don't even want to
waste your time

Let's just say that maybe

You could help to ease my mind

Baby, I ain't Mr Right

But if you're looking
for fastlove

If that's love in your eyes

It's more than enough

Had some bad luck

So fastlove is all
that I've got on my mind

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

What's there
to think about, baby?

Looking for some affirmation

Made my way into the sun

My friends got their ladies,
they're all having babies

But I just
want to have some fun

I won't bore you
with the details, baby

Gonna get there
in your own sweet time

Let's just say that maybe

You could help to ease my mind

Baby, I ain't Mr Right

But if you're looking
for fastlove

If that's love in your eyes

It's more than enough

Had some bad luck

So fastlove is all
that I've got on my mind

In the absence of security

I made my way into the night

Stupid Cupid
keeps on calling me

But I see loving in his eyes

I miss my baby

Send me forget-me-nots

I miss my baby

To help me to remember

So why don't we make
a little room

In my BMW, babe?

Searching for
some peace of mind

Hey, I'll help you find it

I do believe that we are
practicing the same religion

You really ought to get up now

That's right

You really ought to get up

Send me forget-me-nots

Oh, yeah

To help me to remember

Oh, yeah

Send me forget-me-nots

Oh, yeah

Want you to remember

Looking for some affirmation

Gotta get up to get down

03: SPINNING THE WHEEL

Spin the wheel
Spin the wheel

Spin the wheel
Spin the wheel

Five o'clock in the morning

You ain't home

I can't help thinking
that's strange

Baby, I just want you to know

I won't go through it again
Yeah, yeah

Those clouds are closing in

And I will not accept this
as a part of my life

I will not live in fear
of what may be

And the lessons I have learned

I would rather be alone
than watch you

Spinning that wheel for me

You've got a thing about danger

Ain't you getting
what you want from me

You've got a thing
about strangers

Baby, that's what we used to be

You've got a thing
about danger, baby

I guess the hungry
just can't see

One of these days

You're gonna
bring some home to me

Six o'clock in the morning
you ain't phoned

I can't help thinking
that's strange

It seems that everybody
takes their chances

These days

Oh yeah, we're standing
in the rain

Baby love

I will not accept this
as a part of my life

I will not live in fear
of what may be

I would rather be alone
than watch you spinning

Spinning that wheel for me

You've got a thing about danger

Ain't you getting
what you want from me?

Baby, don't you love that trash

You've got a thing
about strangers

Baby, that's what we used to be

I know you're
always chasing that ass

like it's going
out of fashion, baby

I guess the hungry
just can't see

One of these days you're gonna
bring some home to me

How can you love me

When you are playing
with my life

You say give me time
and I'll do better I swear

Give me time and
I'll lead you back to despair

Ain't you getting
what you want from me?

And I don't wanna go back there

Got a thing about strangers

Baby, that's what we used to be

And I don't wanna go back there

You've got a thing
about danger, baby

I guess the hungry
just can't see

I'm never going back to that
and that's a fact, baby

One of these days
you're gonna bring some home

to me

to me

Spin the wheel

Spin the wheel

Spin the wheel

Spin the wheel

Spin the wheel

Spin the wheel

Spin the wheel
Spin the wheel

04: FREEDOM! '90

I won't let you down

I will not give you up

Gotta have some faith
in the sound

It's the one good thing
that I've got

I won't let you down

So please don't give me up

Because I would really,
really love to stick around

Oh, yeah

Heaven knows
I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be
Didn't know what I wanted to be

I was every little hungry
schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess
it was enough for me

I guess it was enough for me

To win the race
A prettier face

Brand new clothes
and a big fat place

On your rock 'n roll TV

But today the way I play the
game is not the same, no way!

Think I'm gonna get me
some happy

I think there's something
you should know

I think it's time
I told you so

There's something
deep inside of me

There's someone else
I've got to be

Take back your picture
in a frame

Take back your singing
in the rain

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes
do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies
and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Freedom
I won't let you down

Freedom
I will not give you up

Freedom

Gotta have some faith
in the sound

It's the one good thing
that I've got

Freedom
I won't let you down

Freedom
So please don't give me up

'Cause I would really,
really love to stick around

Heaven knows
we sure had some fun, boy

What a kick just a buddy and me
What a kick just a buddy and me

We had every big-shot
goodtime band on the run boy

We were living in a fantasy

We won the race
got out of the place

I went back home
got a brand-new face

For the boys at MTV

But today the way I play the
game has got to change, oh yeah

Now I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something
you should know

I think it's time
I stopped the show

There's something
deep inside of me

There's someone
I forgot to be

Take back your picture
in a frame

Don't think
that I'll be back again

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes
do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies
and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you
and you don't belong to me

Yeah, yeah, freedom
I won't let you down

Freedom
I will not give you up

Freedom

Gotta have some faith
in the sound

It's the one good thing
that I've got

Freedom
I won't let you down

Freedom
So please don't give me up

Freedom

'Cause I would really,
really love to stick around

It looks like
the road to heaven

but it feels like
the road to hell

When I knew which side
my bread was buttered

I took the knife as well

Posing for another picture

Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass
They know as fast

That some mistakes
were built to last

That's what you get
That's what you get

That's what you get
That's what you get

For changing your mind

That's what you get
for changing your mind

That's what you get
That's what you get

And after all this time

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes
do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies

And make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you
and you don't belong to me

Yeah, yeah freedom

Oh, freedom

My freedom

You gotta give
for what you take

Freedom
Hold on to my freedom

My freedom

You've got to give
for what you take

You've got to give for
What you give for what you give

May not be
what you want from me

That's the way it's got to be

05: KILLER / PAPA WAS A ROLLIN' STONE

So you want to be free?

To live your life
the way you want to be

Will you give if we cry?

Will we live or will we die?

Tainted hearts heal with time

Shoot that love
so we can stop the bleeding

Solitary brother

Is there still a part of you
that wants to live?

Solitary sister

Is there still a part of you
that wants to give?

Solitary brother

Is there still a part of you
that wants to live?

Solitary sister

Is there still a part of you
that wants to give?

It was the third of September

That day I'll always remember
Yes, I will

Because that was the day
that my daddy died

Never had a chance to see him

No, never heard nothin'
but bad things about him

Mama, I'm depending on you
to tell me the truth

My mama just hung her head and
said, papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his hat
was his home

And when he died

All he left us was alone

But my mama, she said
Papa was a rollin' stone

Wherever he laid his hat
was his home

And when he died

All he left us
All he left us

Can you believe he left us

All alone, yeah

All alone, yeah

All alone, yeah

Yeah

06: TOO FUNKY
I am not trying to seduce you.

Would you like me to seduce you?

Is that

heaven if you let me

that you never had

Hey, you're just too funky

You're never gonna have
another lover in your bed

You're just too funky for me

Would you like me to seduce you?

I'm trying to get to sleep!

07: FAITH
I don't need no Bible
just look in my eyes

I've waited so long, baby,
now that we're friends

Every man's got his patience
and here's where mine ends

I want your...

Well, I guess it would be nice

If I could touch your body

I know not everybody

Has got a body like you

But I've got to think twice

Before I give my heart away

And I know
all the games you play

Because I play them too

Oh, but I

Need some time off
from that emotion

Time to pick my heart up
off the floor

Oh, and when that love
comes down without devotion

Well, it takes
a strong man, baby

But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith

I gotta have faith

Because I gotta have
faith, faith, faith

I gotta have
faith, faith, faith

Baby, I know
you're asking me to stay

Say please, please, please
don't go away

You say
I'm giving you the blues

Maybe you mean
every word you say

Can't help
but think of yesterday

And another who tied me down
to loverboy rules

Before this river

Becomes an ocean

Before you throw my heart
back on the floor

Oh, baby, I reconsider

My foolish notion

Well, I need someone to hold me

But I'll wait
for something more

Yes, I gotta have faith

Oh, I gotta have faith

Because I've gotta have
faith, faith, faith

I've gotta have
faith, faith, faith

'Cause I've gotta have faith

Before this river
becomes an ocean

Before you throw my heart
back on the floor

Baby, I reconsider
my foolish notion

Well, I need someone to hold me
but I'll wait for something more

'Cause I gotta have faith
Oh, I gotta have faith

'Cause I gotta have
faith, faith, faith

I gotta have
faith, faith, faith

08: I WANT YOUR SEX

There's things that you guess

And things that you know

There's boys you can trust

And girls that you don't

There's little things you hide

And little things that you show

Sometimes you think
you're gonna get it

But you don't
and that's just the way it goes

I swear I won't tease you

Won't tell you no lies

I don't need no Bible

Just look in my eyes

I've waited so long, baby

Now that we're friends

Every man's got his patience

And here's where mine ends

I want your sex

I want you

I want your sex

I want your...sex

It's playing on my mind

It's dancing on my soul

It's taken so much time

So why don't you just let me go

I'd really like to try

Oh, I'd really love to know

When you tell me
you're gonna regret it

Then I tell you that I love you
but you still say no!

I swear I won't tease you

Won't tell you no lies

I don't need no Bible

Just look in my eyes

I've waited so long, baby

Out in the cold

I can't take much more, girl

I'm losing control

I want your sex

I want your love

I want your sex

I want your...sex

Sex

It's natural

It's chemical
Let's do it

It's logical

Habitual
Can we do it?

It's sensual

But most of all...

Sex is something we should do

Sex is something for me and you

Sex is natural
Sex is good

Not everybody does it

But everybody should

Sex is natural
Sex is fun

Sex is best when it's...
one on one

One on one

I'm not your father

I'm not your brother

Talk to your sister

I am a lover

C-c-c-c-come on

What's your definition
of dirty, baby?

What do you
consider pornography?

Don't you know I love you
till it hurts me, baby

Don't you think it's time
you had sex with me?

What's your definition
of dirty, baby?

What do you call pornography?

Don't you know I love you
till it hurts me, baby

Don't you think
it's time you had sex with me?

Sex with me

Sex with me

Have sex with me

C-c-c-c-come on

09: JESUS TO A CHILD

Kindness in your eyes

I guess you heard me cry

You smiled at me

Like Jesus to a child

I'm blessed
I know

Heaven sent

And heaven stole

You smiled at me

Like Jesus to a child

And what have I learned

From all this pain

I thought I'd never feel
the same

About anyone

Or anything again

But I still say

When you find a love

When you know that it exists

Then the lover that you miss

Will come to you
on those cold, cold nights

When you've been loved

When you know
it holds such bliss

Then the lover that you kissed

Will comfort you
when there's no hope in sight

So the words you could not say

I'll sing them for you

And the love we would have made

I'll make it for two

For every single memory

Has become a part of me

You will always be

My love

Well, I've been loved

So I know just what love is

And the lover that I kissed

Is always by my side

Oh, the lover I still miss

Was Jesus to a child

10: WALTZ AWAY DREAMING

I'm here if you see me

She's got a song in her head
and she'll sing to me

She's got a laugh that reminds
me of why she's in love with me

She'd never let show
she was lonely

In case
it had frightened me

She was carpet and stone,
independent, alone

But this love
always shone around me

Every time...

Waltz away dreaming

Till your day begins again

Free from the seasons
and this state I'm in

And oh, I can't hold it
all under one love

It was so long ago
when we kissed in the streets

Now you fly like an eagle above

While I waltz away anyway

Hell, I'm waltzing my days away

Searching for this woman I love

I'm here if you see me

She had a history of joy
and pain in time

And she chose to leave

She had a thousand and one
photographs,

That you would not believe

She'll come to you in disguise

She's there
in your children's eyes

Still our mother...

She's still your wife

So let her...

Waltz away dreaming

Till your day begins again

Free from the reasons
and this state I'm in

And oh, trust me, trust me

I can't hold it all
under one love

Trust me, she told me, when
you're ready she'll be there

- It was so long ago
- No, don't let go of her

When we kissed in the streets

Now you fly like an eagle above

While I waltz away anyway

Then I'm waltzing my days away

Searching for this woman I love

And the moment you see me

I will live in your life

We will walk through my garden

I will see through your eyes

Waltzing my days away

I was in despair
till she found me there

Every grown man cries
with his mother's eyes

And when you're ready too

She'll come back to you

- Waltzing my days away
- She's waiting

- Waltzing my days away
- She's waiting

Father...

- She's waiting
- The moment you'll see me...

11: FATHER FIGURE

That's all I wanted

Something special,
something sacred

In your eyes

For just one moment

To be bold and naked

At your side

Sometimes I think that you'll
never understand me

Understand me

Maybe this time is forever

Say it can be

That's all you wanted

Something special,
someone sacred

In your life

Just for one moment

To be warm and naked

At my side

Sometimes I think that
you'll never understand me

Understand me

But something tells me together

We'll be happy

Baby, I will be
your father figure

Put your tiny hand in mine

I will be your preacher teacher

Anything you have in mind

I will be your father figure

I have had enough of crime

I will be the one who loves you

Until the end of time

That's all I wanted

But sometimes love
can be mistaken

For a crime

That's all I wanted

Just to see my baby's

Blue-eyed shine

This time I think that my lover

Understands me

Understands me

If we have faith in each other

Then we can be strong, baby

I will be your father figure

Put your tiny hand in mine

I will be your preacher teacher

Anything you have in mind

I will be your father figure

I have had enough of crime

I will be the one who loves you

Until the end of time

If you are the desert

I'll be the sea

If you ever hunger

Hunger for me

Whatever you ask for

That's what I'll be

So when you remember
the ones who have lied

Who said that they cared

But then laughed as you cried

Beautiful darling

Don't think of me

Because all I ever wanted

It's in your eyes

Baby, baby

And love can't lie, no...

Greet me
with the eyes of a child

My love is always
telling me so...

Heaven is a kiss and a smile

Just hold on, hold on

I won't let you go, my baby

I will be your father figure

Put your tiny hand in mine

I will be your preacher teacher

Anything you have in mind

I will be your father figure

I have had enough of crime

So I am gonna love you

Until the end of time

I will be your father

I will be your...father

I will be your preacher

I will be your...

I'll be your daddy

I will be the one who loves you
till the end of time

12: OLDER

I should have known

It seemed too easy

You were there

And I was feeling blue

Strange

Baby, don't you think
I'm looking older?

But something good
has happened to me

Change is a stranger

You have yet to know

Well you're out of time

I'm letting go

You'll be fine

Well that much I know

You're out of time

I'm letting go

I'm not the man you want

I should have known
it seemed so easy

You were there

I thought I needed...

...you

You

Strange

Baby, don't you think
I'm looking older?

But something good
has happened to me

Change is a stranger

Who never seems to show

So you're out of time

I'm letting go

You'll be fine

Or maybe you won't

You're out of time

I'm letting go

I'm not the man that you want

I never should have looked
back in your direction

I know that
just the same old fights again

Baby, these are wasted days

Without affection

I'm not that foolish anymore

So you're out of time

I'm letting go

You'll be fine

Well that much I know

You're out of time

I'm letting go

I'm not the man that you want

13: DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME (WITH ELTON JOHN)

I can't light

No more of your

Darkness

All my pictures

Seem to fade to black and white

I'm growing tired

And time stands still before me

Frozen here

On the ladder of my life

It's much too late

To save myself from falling

I took a chance

And changed your way of life

But you misread

My meaning when I met you

Closed the door

And left me blinded

By the light

Don't let the sun
go down on me, yeah

Although I search myself

It's always someone else I see

I'd just allow
a fragment of your life

To wander free, ooh

But losing everything

Is like the sun
going down on me

Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr Elton John!

I can't find

Oh, the romantic line

But see me once

And see the way I feel

Don't discard me

Baby, don't

Just because you think
I mean you harm

Just because you think
I mean you harm, oh

But these cuts I have

The cuts I have

They need love

They need love, they need love

To help them heal

Ooh!

Don't let the sun

Go down on me

Although I search myself

It's always someone else I see

I'd just allow
a fragment of your life

To wander free

Ooh!

'Cause losing
everything is like

The sun going down on me

Don't let the sun

Go down on me

Although I search myself

It's always
someone else that I see, yeah

I'd just allow
a fragment of your life

To wander free, baby, ooh

'Cause losing everything

Is like the sun
going down on me

Mr Elton John!

14: KISSING A FOOL

You are far

When I could
have been your star

You listened to people

Who scared you to death
and from my heart

Strange that
you were strong enough

To even make a start

But you'll never find
peace of mind

Till you listen to your heart

People

You can never change
the way they feel

Better let them do
just what they will

For they will

If you let them
steal your heart from you

People

Will always make a lover

Feel a fool

But you knew I loved you

We could have shown them all

We should
have seen love through

Fooled me with
the tears in your eyes

Covered me
with kisses and lies

So, goodbye

But please don't

Take my heart

You are far

I'm never gonna be your star

I'll pick up the pieces

And mend my heart

Maybe I'll be strong enough

I don't know where to start

But I'll never find
peace of mind

While I listen to my heart

People

You can never change
the way they feel

Better let them do
just what they will

For they will

If you let them
steal your heart

And people

Will always make
a lover feel a fool

But you knew I loved you

We could have shown them all

But remember this

Every other kiss

That you ever give

Long as we both live

When you need the hand
of another man

One you really
can surrender with

I will wait for you

Like I always do

There's something there

That can't compare

With any other

You are far

When I could
have been your star

You listened to people

Who scared you to death
and from my heart

Strange that I was wrong enough

To think you'd love me too

Guess you were kissing a fool

You must have

Been kissing

A fool

15: I KNEW YOU WERE WAITING (FOR ME) (WITH ARETHA FRANKLIN)

Like a warrior that fights

And wins the battle

I know the taste of victory

Though I went through
some nights

Consumed by the shadows

I was crippled emotionally

Mmm...

Somehow I made it
through the heartache

Yes, I did

I escaped

I found my way
out of the darkness

- I kept my faith
- I know you did

Kept my faith

When the river was deep

I didn't falter

When the mountain was high

I still believed

When the valley was low

It didn't stop me

No, no

I knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting for me

With an endless desire

I, I kept on searching

Sure in time
our eyes would meet

Like the bridge is on fire

The hurt is over

One touch and you set me free

No...

I don't regret a single moment

No, I don't

I know you don't

Looking back

When I think of all
those disappointments

I just laugh

I know you do

I just laugh

When the river was deep

I didn't falter

When the mountain was high

I still believed

When the valley was low

It didn't stop me

Ooh!

I knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting for me

So we were drawn together

Through destiny

Oh, boy

Ooh!

I know this love we shared

Was meant to be

Ooh!

I knew you were waiting, ooh

Knew you were waiting

I knew you were waiting

Knew you were waiting for me

- I didn't falter
- I didn't falter, no

I still believed

When the valley was low

- It didn't stop me
- An army can't stop me, no

- Knew you were waiting
- No way, nohow

Knew you were waiting for me

I didn't falter

- When the mountain was high
- I still believed

Ooh, when the valley was low

- It didn't stop me
- No, it didn't stop me, no

- Knew you were waiting
- Stop me

I knew you were
waiting for me, yeah

I didn't falter

Oh, yeah!

- I still believed
- Oh, I still believed

Do you know, it didn't stop me

- No!
- Knew you were waiting

- Stop me
- Somewhere

- Stop me
- Somehow

For me

I didn't falter

When the valley was low

- I still believed
- I still believed

- I believed, I believed
- It didn't stop me

- An army can't stop me
- No way

16: SOMEBODY TO LOVE (WITH QUEEN)

Each morning I get up
1 die a little

Can't barely stand on my feet

Take a look

In the mirror and I cry

Lord, what are you doing to me?

I've spent all my years
believing you

But I just can't
get no relief, Lord

Somebody, ooh, somebody

Can anybody find me

Somebody to love?

I work hard

Every day of my life

I work till I ache my bones

At the end

I take home my hard earned pay
all of my own

I go down on my knees,
I start to pray

Till the tears run down
from my eyes, Lord

Somebody

Ooh, somebody

Can anybody find me

Somebody to love?

Every day

I try and I try and I try

But everybody
wants to put me down

They say I'm going crazy

They say I got
a lot of water in my brain

I think I've got no
common sense

He's got nobody
left to believe in

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh

Somebody, ooh

Anybody find me

Somebody to love

I got no feel, I got no rhythm

I just keep losing my beat

I'm alright, I'm alright

I ain't gonna face no defeat

I just gotta get out
of this prison cell

Some day I'm gonna
be free, Lord

Wanna hear
every single person!

See every single
pair of hands!

Three, four...

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Somebody, somebody,
somebody, somebody

Somebody find me, somebody
find me somebody to love

Can anybody find me

Somebody to

Come on!

Love!

Yeah!

Find me somebody to love

Ooh

Find me

Somebody, somebody

Somebody to love

Oh, love

Find me, find me,
find me, find me, find me

Ooh, somebody to love

Anybody, anyway, anybody
find me somebody to love

Yeah, yeah

Ooh!

Thank you very much.
Goodnight and take care!

17: MONKEY

Better watch out,
baby, who's that?

Don't look now,
there's a monkey on your back

Watch out, baby, who's that?

Don't look now,
there's a monkey on your back

Watch out, baby, who's that?

Don't look now,
there's a monkey on your back

Watch out, baby, who's that?

That

Why can't you do it?

Why can't you set
your monkey free?

Always giving in to it

Do you love the monkey
or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?

Why do I have to share
my baby with a monkey?

With a monkey, monkey

I count to ten

But I don't know how
and I don't know when

To open my eyes

If you kiss me again

Like you did just now,
like you did just then

Just do it again

I've had the rest,
now it's time I had the best

So you tell me
that you won't do anymore

Well, I'd write
your heart a letter

But I think you know me better

If I keep on askin' baby, maybe

I'll get what I'm askin' for

Why can't you do it?

Why can't you
set your monkey free?

Always giving in to it

Do you love the monkey
or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?

Why do I have to share
my baby with a monkey?

Monkey, with a monkey, monkey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, la la

I hate your friends, oh

But I don't know how
and I don't know when

To open your eyes

Open your eyes

Yes, your monkey's back again

Do you want him now
like you did back

Then?

Don't do it, yeah

I tried my best

But your head is such a mess

So I guess that
I don't want you any more

Well, you say you care about me

That you just can't
do without me

But you keep on dancing, baby

Till that monkey
has you on the floor

On the floor

Why can't you do it?

Why can't you
set your monkey free?

Always giving in to it

Do you love the monkey
or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?

Why do I have to share
my baby with a monkey?

Monkey, with a monkey, monkey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, la la

Why can't you do it?

Why can't you do it?

Why can't you do it?

Monkey

Don't look back

Better watch

Better watch

Better watch out

Come on, baby

Better watch out,
baby, who's that?

Don't look now

There's a monkey on your back

Watch out, baby, who's that?

Don't look now

There's a monkey on your back

Watch out, baby, who's that?

Don't look now,
there's a monkey on your back

Watch out, baby, who's that?

Don't look now,
there's a monkey on your back

Why can't you do it?

Why can't you
set your monkey free?

Oh, baby, always giving in to it

Do you love the monkey
or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?

Why do I have to share
my baby with a monkey?

Monkey, with a monkey, monkey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, take it up

Shoot the monkey

Kill the monkey

With the monkey,
with the monkey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, la la

Why can't you do it?

Why can't you
set your monkey free?

Always giving in to it

Do you love the monkey
or do you love me?

Why can't you do it?

Why do I have to share
my baby with a monkey?

Monkey, with a monkey, monkey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, la la

Why can't you do it?

Why can't you
set your monkey free?

18: ONE MORE TRY

I've had enough of danger

And people on the streets

I'm looking out for angels

Just trying to find some peace

Now, I think it's time

That you let me know

So if you love me

Say you love me

But if you don't

Just let me go

'Cause, teacher

There are things

That I don't wanna learn

And the last one I had

Made me cry

So I don't want to learn to

Hold you, touch you

Think that you're mine

Because it ain't no joy

For an uptown boy

Whose teacher
has told him goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

When you were just a stranger

And I was at your feet

I didn't feel the danger

Now I feel the heat

That look in your eyes

Telling me no

So you think that you love me

Know that you need me

I wrote the song,
I know it's wrong

Just let me go

And teacher

There are things

That I don't want to learn

Oh, the last one I had

Made me cry

So I don't want to learn to

Hold you, touch you

Think that you're mine

Because it ain't no joy

For an uptown boy

Whose teacher has told him

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

So when you say
that you need me

That you'll never leave me

I know you're wrong,
you're not that strong

Let me go

And teacher

There are things

That I still have to learn

But the one thing I have

Is my pride

Ooh!

So I don't want to learn to

Hold you, touch you

Think that you're mine

Because there ain't no joy

For an uptown boy

Who just isn't willing to try

I'm so cold

Inside

Maybe just one more try

19: STAR PEOPLE '97 (MTV UNPLUGGED)

Come on, let's see
your hands, come on.

Give us a bit of vibe here.

Maybe

Your mama

Gave you up, boy

I said, maybe

Your daddy didn't
love you enough, girl

One, two, three, yeah

Maybe

Your mama

Gave you up, boy

Just the same old, same old

Maybe

Daddy didn't love
you enough, girl

Star people

Counting your money
till your soul turns green

Star people

Counting the cost
of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you

I may be living in a dream

It's just there seem
so many of you

Can't help but hope

There's a difference between

You and me

Ooh, I'm talking to you

Yeah

And you should

Go far

I said, maybe
your mama gave you up, boy

It's the same old, same old

Maybe your daddy
didn't love you enough, girl

How much is enough?

Star

People

Never forget
your secret's safe with me

Just look at all
the wonderful people

Trying to forget they had
to pay for what you see

It's a dream

With a nightmare
stuck in the middle

Middle

But listen, brother,
where would you be

Without all of this attention?

You'd die, I'd die, we'd die

Wouldn't we?

Well, wouldn't we?

You're a star

Ooh, I'm talking to you, yeah

Talking to you

You're a star

I said, maybe

Your mama gave you up, boy

It's the same old, same old

Maybe your daddy didn't
love you enough, girl

How much is enough?

You only wanted them
to love you

You may have been
living in a dream

And as your demons
tower above you

You bite your tongue
when you really want to scream

Maybe

Look at me

Maybe

- How much is enough?
- Hey

Talk about your mother

Talk about your father

Talk about the people

Who have made you what you are

Talk about your teacher

The bully boy who beat you

Talk about the people
who have paid

For that new sports car

- Maybe
- Yeah

Your mama gave you up, boy

You're big, big, big

- Maybe
- Star

Your daddy didn't
love you enough, girl

Say, how much is enough?

Did you get off on
a bad foot, baby?

Do you have
a little tale to tell?

Did you get off on
a bad foot, bad, bad foot?

Is that why you're a star?

Is that what makes a star?

How much is enough?

How much is enough?

Do you have
a little tale to tell?

Yeah

How much is enough?

How much is enough?

Did you get off
on a bad foot, baby?

Do you have
a little tale to tell?

- How much is enough?
- Please

So, nothing comes
from nothing, baby

That fame and fortune's
heaven sent

And who gives a fuck
about your problems, darling

'Cause you can pay the rent

How, how, how
much is enough?

Yeah

Say, how much is enough

Yeah, baby, say

How much is enough?

Thank you!

20: I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME (MTV UNPLUGGED)

Turn down the lights

Turn down the bed

Turn down these voices

Inside my head

Lay down with me

Tell me no lies

Just hold me close

Don't patronize

Don't patronize me

I can't make you love me
if you don't

You can't make your heart feel
something it won't

Here in the dark

These final hours

I will lay down my heart

I'll feel the power

But you won't

No, you won't

And I can't make you love me

If you don't

I'll close my eyes

Then I won't see

The love you don't feel

When you're holding me

Mornin' will come

And I'll do what's right

Just give me till then

To give up this fight

And I will give up this fight

'Cause I can't make you love me

If you don't

You can't make your heart feel

Something it won't

Here in the dark

These final hours

I will lay down my heart

I'll feel the power

But you won't

No, you won't

And I can't make you love me

If you don't

Ain't no use in you trying

If you don't love me

Baby

Ain't no use in you trying

If you don't, if you don't, if
you don't, if you don't love me

Ain't nothing I can do

21: A DIFFERENT CORNER

I'd say love
was a magical thing

I'd say love
would keep us from pain

Had I been there

Had I been there

I would promise you
all of my life

But to lose you
would cut like a knife

So I don't dare

No, I don't dare

'Cause I've never come close

In all of these years

You are the only one
to stop my tears

And I'm so scared

I'm so scared

Take me back in time

Maybe I can forget

Turn a different corner
and we never

Would have met

Would you care?

I don't understand it

For you it's a breeze

Little by little

You've brought me to my knees

Don't you care?

No, I've never come close

In all of these years

You are the only one
to stop my tears

I'm so scared

Of this love

And if all that there is

Is this fear of being used

I should go back
to being lonely

And confused

If I could, I would, I swear

Ooh...

I swear

22: YOU HAVE BEEN LOVED (MTV UNPLUGGED)

She takes the back road
and the lane

Past the school
that has not changed

In all this time

She thinks of
when the boy was young

All the battles she had won

Just to give him life

That man

She loved that man

For all his life

And now we meet
to take him flowers

And only God knows why

For what's the use
in pressing palms

When children fade
in mothers' arms

It's a cruel world

We've so much to lose

And what we have to learn

We rarely choose

So, if it's God
who took her son

He cannot be the one

Living in her mind

Take care, my love, she said

Don't think that God is dead

Take care, my love, she said

You have been loved

If I was weak

Forgive me

But I was terrified

You brushed my eyes
with angels wings

Full of love

The kind that makes devils cry

So, these days

My life has changed

And I'll be fine

But she just sits
and counts the hours

Searching for her crime

So what's the use
in pressing palms

When you won't keep
such love from harm

It's a cruel world

You've so much to prove

And heaven help the ones

Who wait for you

I've no daughters,
I've no sons

Guess I'm the only one

Living in my life

Take care, my love, he said

Don't think that God is dead

Take care, my love, he said

You have been loved

Thank you!

23: CARELESS WHISPER

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 a silver screen

And all its sad goodbyes

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 have known better
than to cheat a friend

And waste the chance
that I've 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 have known better
than to cheat a friend

And waste the chance
that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you, oh

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 want to say

We could have been
so good together

We could have lived
this dance forever

But now,
who'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

I should have known better
than to cheat a friend

And waste the chance
that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you, ooh

Now that you're gone

Now that you're gone

Now that you're gone

Was what I did so wrong?

So wrong

That you had to
leave me alone?
