SOMETHING ABOUT YOU Ooh... Ooh... How - how can it be that a love Carved out of caring fashioned by fate Could suffer so hard From the games played much too often But making mistakes is a part Of life's imperfections born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all Drawn into the stream Of undefined illusion Those diamond dreams They can't disguise the truth That there is something about you Baby so right I wouldn't be without you baby tonight If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things And a perfect dream of life Gone, fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love It's not so wrong We're only human after all These changing years They add to your confusion Oh and you need to hear the time That told the truth That there is something about you Baby so right Don't want to be without you Baby tonight Because there's something about you Baby so right I couldn't live without you Baby tonight Ooh... Ooh... And there's something about you I couldn't live without you Tonight CHILDREN SAY I keep to myself what I might share with others but they don't seem to understand I open my mouth to rediscover that I don't have the words at my command holding out for a world so much better but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land all my friends have sold out couldn't handle the pressure counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can Children say - children say we open our minds as one but one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be When I overhear my parents conversations well I'm struck by the things they say it seems they traded the years for mere complications who ever thought it could end this way they close the door but they can't lock it 'cause something of their childhood remains and they've felt it before when the man in their pocket counted the cost of their material gains Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Well you knew what I was saying but did you know what it meant when you saw that look in my eye did you know it was heaven sent was it all a waking dream all that time we must have spent well I guess it must have been somehow that feeling came and went Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Children say - children say we thought it would never go as one more day - slips away who ever thought we could be so lonely LEAVING ME NOW It seems true love is so rare Seems all I've known is deceit Your laughter fills the air Once more I'm sensing defeat And I suppose you're leaving me now I was so sure, now I'm so full of doubt And I suppose you'll be leaving this place Just like the smile you've wiped from my face This time I always gave my best Your memory serves you so badly Some people kill for less Yet I'd still die for you gladly (so gladly) But I suppose it's my turn now To play a scene that's familiar somehow I turn the page and you walk away Not even love could bring you to stay This time Walk away, it's so easy Once more I'm learning In the depths of my despair Your lies confirming True love is so rare And I suppose it's my turn now There's no more love, only feelings of doubt Gone with the hope your words have erased Gone with the smile you wiped from my face Love is a ship we all hope to steer Through troubled times, 'cross an ocean of tears A midnight sea that swells in your eyes Takes just one look to know I'm still mesmerised But I suppose you're leaving me now I was so sure, now I'm so full of doubt I turn the page and you walk away Not even love could bring you to stay This time Leaving me now Leaving this place
