Do you gather flowers for me?
Moving softly through the trees
And the scent against your arm
Long ago I knew your charm
As I walk through the purple hills of soon forgotten woe
Then my heart was in your hand
And my heart was in your hand

Do your lips still call my name?
Would your mouth still taste the same?
There I learn the sweetest words
What price mercy yet?
Though I steal all across the years, the memory lingers on
All my heart in your hand
All my heart in your hand

Should I fall beside the road
Everlasting wandering soul
And my memory so blind
And my heart was there ahead
As I walk through the purple hills of long ago
I know my heart is in your hand
All my heart is in your hand
My heart is in your hand
All my heart

A brand new human being, razor sharp, all firm and tanned
All clean, all pure, with a thirty-second attention span
As the clock strikes twelve and we're ready for party games
You play blind man's buff and I'll play out charades

[Heaven knows] what kind of fool am I
[Heaven knows] why you take an eye for an eye
[Heaven knows] what comes over me
You were pumping iron as I was pumping irony

Now I find myself fully occupied and half alive
With your head, heart, arms and legs wrapped around my family pride
See the whites of their eyes then shoot
With all the romance of the Ton Ton Macoute

[Heaven knows] what kind of fool am I [etc repeated]

Nothing will show as we're shedding our clothes
But then I suppose, anything goes, anything goes
But then I suppose that anything, anything goes
[Heaven knows - heaven knows --]

[Heaven knows] what kind of fool am I
[Heaven knows] what comes over me
[Heaven knows] what kind of fool am I
Tell me please, please, please
[Heaven knows] what kind of fool am I --

She walks like a gunslinger - laughs through the shots
Got some lead from the hips - she's so hot she can't stop
She loves like a steam train - out all the time
She fights like a bobcat - got some fame on her mind
Tell me why - oh, tell me why

Fire where the heart is - sweet home on the range
The call of the wild - see the beast with no name
Tell me why - oh, tell me why

The world is waiting here for you, you, you
Can't you see it anymore
The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Can't you see them anymore, anymore, anymore

The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Don't you just hear it anymore
The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Don't you feel it anymore, anymore, anymore

She's tall in the saddle - got a rose in her teeth
She's my hell incarnate - just walkin' down your street
You've seen the line on the glory from the heart of the flame
From the ... I don't know a story - but your song never change
Tell me why - oh, tell me why

The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Can't you feel it anymore
The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Can't you feel it anymore, anymore, anymore --

Shoot, shoot - she walks like a gunslinger
Shoot, shoot - I will I see your shots
Shoot, shoot - she walks like a gunslinger
Shoot, shoot - she laughs, laughs, laughs --

She's the same - broken promises
Tryin' to make me out a fool, fool, fool
[Cheat, cheat, cheat - don't do it now]
In your game - you pick the players
Miscalculations make the rule, rule, rule

Ooh, yes, you're breaking my heart
You're breakin' my heart

So strange - and when it comes apart
You look and laugh and then you cry, cry, cry
[Cheat, cheat, cheat - don't do it now]
There's a change, withholding information
When I ask you, ask me why, why, why

Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop, stop hurtin' me baby
Stop again, stop again, stop again
Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop, stop hurtin' me baby
Stop again, stop again, stop again

[Cheat, cheat, cheat --]
Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop, stop hurtin' me baby
Stop again, stop again, stop again

So sweet, with your innocence
I've found the cutest step, so cute
[Cheat, cheat, cheat - don't do it now]
She's the same - broken promises
Tryin' to make me out a fool, fool, fool

You're breaking my heart, oh yeah --
Give it to me baby --
I really want to know --

And you said you'd never leave me
In fact you said you'd be my only one
And I said you'd never glean me, baby
For things you do when you are only having fun
You said you'd cry a river
I thought you meant you'd cry a river of tears
You'd rather die than live without me, baby
But little girl, you're so insincere

You know you count your blessings
But now I find that you were counting sheep, counting sheep
And then I try to court your feelings
I caught your eye and then you caught my cheek
All the things must come to fruit now
And there you stood so proud the apple of my eye
You said you'd never leave me baby
But little girl, that's the reason why
Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone
Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone

Let's go collect our prize now
So entertaining we were number one, number one
The judge is hypnotised now
But after all we both been fooled for so damn long
So face the crowd and take a bow now, bow now
'Cause one more time and it will all be done
'Cause I must leave the show to you now baby
My last performance has just begun
Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone
Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone --

Stop and think for a minute, baby
As they bring the curtain down
Another break, then another maybe
The choice will not be found
I taught you style, the ducking and the weaving
We were famous for
And he is his, and he is yours
And you can take the floor, the floor
Whoa - that's why I have to leave you all alone
Whoa - that's why you have to leave me all alone

I don't know - so you turned around and found another fool
I don't know - so you turned around and found another --

Oh, speak to me - tell me the truth
Why don't you let me know?
Oh, throw me the key - I'm locking it up
I think it's time to go

And when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow

Oh, talk to me - you're packing your clothes
You leave me walking the floor
Oh, feels strange to me - I'm losing control
I cant feel you any more

And when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much

Oh, my crazy arms - so empty now
So cold, like dying slow
Oh, remember me - I can't forget
You touched my very soul

And when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
A little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much

Ah, you hurt me girl
Oh, you really, really do now
Ah, you hurt me child
You know you really, really do now
But things get better, baby

When I was born I was running
Just running so hard
But things get much better baby
It's so hard - it's so hard, so hard
Keep a-running, keep a-running, yes
Things get better, baby

My crazy arms - so empty now
So cold, like dying slow
Oh, remember me - I can't forget
You touched my very soul

And when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
Just a little too much

Yeah, too much
It's just a little too much
It's just a little too much

She's the girl of my dreams - she's the girl on my mind
She used to play me for a fool 'cause she's the hurting kind

I lost my heart in the East - another part in the West
You better jump back baby - you're the girl I love the best

I'm gonna ride the wind - there's nothing I won't do
I'm coming up real fast - I got my eyes on you

I see your eyes of love - well tell me what you see
I see your long black hair moving over me

Oh yes, I feel good now, now
Let's talk about love, let's talk about love
Let's talk about love, let's talk about it
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you

I lost my heart over here - another part over there
I still got plenty left, and baby I don't care

Oh, let's talk about love, let's talk about love
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you

Don't blame me - I won't hurt you - don't blame me
It's plain to see you know the real me

She's the girl of my dreams - she's the girl on my mind
She used to play me for a fool - she's the hurting kind

Gonna go around the world - nothing I won't do
Coming up real fast - I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you --
