Taking Chances Songtexte

=== Taking Chances ===
(Kara DioGuardi, David A. Stewart, John Shanks)

Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world but
Don't want to be alone tonight
On this planet they call earth

You don't know about my past and
I don't have a future figured out
And maybe this is going too fast
And maybe it's not meant to last

But what do you say to taking chances
What do you say to jumping off the edge
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold
Or hell to pay
What do you say
What do you say

I just wanna start again
Maybe you could show me how to try
Maybe you could take me in
Somewhere underneath your skin

What do you say to taking chances
What do you say to jumping off the edge
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold
Or hell to pay
What do you say
What do you say

And I've had my heart beaten down
But I always come back for more, yeah
There's nothing like love to pull you up
When you're lying down on the floor there
So talk to me, talk to me like lovers do
Yeah walk with me, walk with me like lovers do
Like lovers do

What do you say to taking chances
What do you say to jumping off the edge
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold
Or hell to pay
What do you say
What do you say

Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world


=== Alone ===
(B. Steinberg, T. Kelly)

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

Alone
Alone


=== Eyes On Me ===
(D. Goodrem, K. Lundin, S. Kotecha)

I know that once in love
You don't think of
The devil who's inside

And maybe it'll come one day
When you'll feel safe
And I won't have the time

You'll hear what you wanna hear
Blink once I could disappear
Some rules to the game will make it right for both of us

Just say what you wanna say
I've got it to give away
We both wanna make it last so keep
Your eyes on me
Your eyes on me

It's not an illusion
That you're the one
And I have fallen deep

I said from the start
When we're apart
You must only think of me

Temptation is all around
Take good care of what you've found
That's why when I turn around
You better keep...

You better keep your eyes on me
No matter what you think I need
No matter what you once believed
If you're mine

So you better say yeah
(No matter what you think I need)
(No it doesn't really matter what you once believed)
Say yeah
(I wanna be the air you breathe)
(Yeah you better be everything you said you'd be)
So you better say yeah!
(I wanna be the only one or we can't go on)
(No matter what you think I need)
You better keep your eyes on me...

Say that you want me
Open up your heart
Even if it's hard

Say that you need me
Better let 'em know
Baby don't put on a show

Say that you need me
Tell 'em how you feel
Let 'em know its real

And if you love me
Gotta turn your back
Gonna keep my eyes on that

(Temptation is all around)
(Take good care of what you've found)
That's why when I turn around
You better keep...

You better keep your eyes on me
No matter what you think I need
No matter what you once believed
If you're mine

So you better say yeah
(No matter what you think I need)
(No it doesn't really matter what you once believed)
Say yeah
(I wanna be the air you breathe)
(Yeah you better be everything you said you'd be)
You better keep...
(I wanna be the only one or we can't go on)
(No matter what you think I need)
You better keep your eyes on me...

Your eyes on me...
Your eyes on me...

=== My Love ===
(L. Perry)

My love we have seen it all
The endless confession
The rise and fall
As fragile as a child
But lately I’m sorry
I can’t hold a smile

But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard
I try to hide
How did you know I'd take the time for you?
Did you know that I could see you through?
How did you know that I would play the part?
I must have made it clear right from the start

My love can you give me strength?
Somehow I forgot how to ease my pain
I know I’m right where I belong
But something for nothin ever proved me wrong

But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard
I try to hide
How did you know I'd take the time for you?
Did you know that I could see you through?
How did you know that I would play the part?
I must have made it clear right from the start

I would share my whole life with you
Would you do the same for me?
I would give all I am to you
Would you do the same for me?

And I will stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
You could you see?
I could break
Did you noticed all my mistakes?
There were times
I could feel you in my mind

How did you know I'd take the time for you?
Did you know that I could see right through?
How did you know that I would play the part?
I must have made it clear right from the start


=== Shadow of Love ===
(A. Nova, A. Bagge, P. Sjostrom)

I live my life like a runaway
I had my dreams in a special place
I’m waiting here for my prince to come
To save me from the darkness
I count the nights
I count the days, the way
Don’t wanna fight it would be in vain
So in vain

I can run but I can’t hide
It’s because
I’m livin' in the shadow of love
To me you are the only one
I dream of
'Cause I’m livin' in the shadow of love

Your love surrounds me it’s
Everywhere
It is my shelter, it is my air
A moon eclipsing a burning sun
Making shade just for me
For you I'd wait forever baby
And a day
To be there if your love
Should come
My way

I can run but I can’t hide
It’s because
I’m livin' in the shadow of love
To me you are the only one
I dream of
'Cause I’m livin' in the shadow of love

Too many nights too many days
I’ve hidden from the sun
And though I've tried to break away
You hold on me is just too strong
I’m livin' in the shadow of love

I can run but I can’t hide
It’s because
I’m livin' in the shadow of love
To me you are the only one
I dream of
'Cause I’m livin' in the shadow of love

To me you are the only one
I dream of
'Cause I’m livin' in the shadow of love
The shadow of love
The shadow of love

I can run but I can’t hide
It’s because
I’m livin' in the shadow of love
To me you are the only one
I dream of
'Cause I’m livin' in the shadow of love

=== Surprise Surprise ===
(A. Howes, K. DioGuardi, M. Harrington)

Surprise surprise
I told you lies
I thought the truth would set you free

Surprise surprise
It isn’t all as it seems
But who knew you’d wake up from your dreams

If I told you myself
Could've saved you the hell
Now look who’s sorry
God I’m so sorry
It was never the right time
I guess it’s do or die

Just when you think you’ve got me figured out
Just when you think you know me well
Baby you’ve barely even broke the ice
My river runs wide and you’re not in sight
But you’re closer than you were tonight

I’m a chameleon
And every spot’s hiding my scars
But I will survive
'Cause I’ll only let you in
When I can be sure of who you are

You can call it a game
But it’s me playing safe
And God I’m so sorry
I’m just so sorry
What can I say
It’s hard trying to stay alive

Just when you think you’ve got me figured out
Just when you think you know me well
Baby you’ve barely even broke the ice
My river runs wide and you’re not in sight
But you’re closer than you were tonight

And it’s in your eyes
That is all or nothing
What I can’t disguise
It's that you’re on to something
If I let myself go
Will you still want me
Will I be enough
The fear of that huants me
'Cause what if you walk away

Just when you think you’ve got me figured out
Just when you think you know me well
Baby you’ve barely even broke the ice
My river runs wide and you’re not in sight
But you’re closer than you were tonight

Just when you think you’ve got me figured out
Just when you think you’ve got me figured out
Surprise surprise

=== This Time ===
(B. Moody, D. Hodges, S. McMorran)

One more hour burns
So scared of his return
That I can’t sleep tonight
In this hospital light

What you call a tragedy
Is just another day to me
For my heart beats with fear
As his footsteps draw near

The life I meant to lead
Won’t slip away from me

'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare it’s not fair
And I’ve had enough

You break me, and as I bleed
You just say you’re sorry
You call this a love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time

There’s nothing left of this
Your whispered words and empty treats
Rip away the seams of what I thought this would be

The last thread has come undone
To reveal what I’ve become
Another victim of a poison love

I've been afraid for years
But that won’t keep me here

'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare it’s not fair
And I’ve had enough

You break me
To just say you’re sorry
You call this a love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This Time

And what remains a mystery
You can not have the best of me
So I am taking back
All you took from me

'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare it’s not fair
And I’ve had enough

You break me
To just say you’re sorry
You call this a love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This Time

=== New Dawn ===
(L. Perry)

Jesus
I will follow
For each day is forgiving
And never alone
And as we walk
Through miles of disbelief
It will be his hand that guides you
Leading you home

You carry on
A new day will come
I know it will, yeah
You carry on
I know, I know
A new day will dawn

I am a woman
A mountain I will climb
Oh yes I will
I've been beat down and I've been broken
But each day I give it another try

We will carry on
A new day will come
We will carry on
I know
A new day will dawn

I've been broken, mm yeah
A new day will dawn, yeah

We will carry on
Yes we will
A new day will come
Carry on, carry on
A new day, a new day will dawn
We will carry on
A new day will come
A new day will dawn

=== A Song For You ===
(A. Nova, A. Bagge, R. Wells)

I couldn’t live
I couldn’t live without your love
For one kiss
I would give everything up
There’s no words that can describe
What I feel deep inside
So I'll let this song say all

Then I hope you’ll understand
Once you’ve listened till the end

Heard the music in my head
So before I could forget
I start singin' yes I was singing
This song for you

Just made up the words
Na na na na oh oh oh yeah

My heart wrote the melody
So I am singin' this song for you

=== A World To Believe In ===
(L. Gold, R. Ciciola, T. Izzo)

I’ve seen the tears and the heartache
And I felt the pain
I’ve seen the hatred
And so many lives lost in vain
And yet through this darkness
There’s always a light that shines through
And takes me back home, takes me back home

All of the promises broken
And all of the songs left unsung
Seem so far away
As I make my way back to you

You gave me faith
And you gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love
I can rise up above
And be strong, and be whole once again

I know that dreams we hold on to
Can just fade away
And I know that words can be wasted
With so much to say
And when I feel helpless
There’s always a hope that shines through
And makes me believe
And makes me believe

And I see for one fleeting moment
A paradise under the sun
I drift away
And I make my way back to you

You gave me faith
And you gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love
I can rise up above
And be strong, and be whole once again

Life goes on
Can leave us with sorrow and pain
And I hold on
To all that you are
To all that we’ll be
And I can go on once again

You gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love I can rise up above
And be strong
And be whole
Once again

You gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love
I can rise up above
And be strong
And be whole
Once again

'Cause your love
Heals my soul
Once again

I can live I can dream
Once again

'Cause you made me believe

=== Can't Fight The Feelin' ===
(A. Nova)

I feel a little peculiar
Feelin' kinda strange
I don't know what it is but I like the change
That comes over me whenever he’s around

It is as if my feet don’t even touch the ground
'Cause when I’m feelin' down
He’s there to pick me up
And when I talk too much
He doesn’t interrupt
Let me tell you there’s no better guy
This is how he makes me feel inside

I wanna dance,I wanna play
Well can you hear my heart beat
A million miles away
It won’t stop, till I drop
And everyday and night he tells me
I’m so special that he never could give me up

I’m hooked on a feelin' a natural high
You better believe it and the reason why
It’s a thing called love
It makes me feel so alive
And I can’t fight the feelin'

Somebody told me once
You only get one chance
So live your life and do the best you can
Once the day goes by you never get it back
So live every minute like it was your last

And just dance, come on play
And tell somebody you love them
At least once a day
And don’t stop, till you drop
I didn’t know that one fay someone so special
Would come along to steal my heart

I’m hooked on a feelin' a natural high
You better believe it and the reason why
It’s a thing called love
It makes me feel so alive

Love, love, love
And John Lennon said that was all you need
If you tasted once
It won’t be enough

I’m hooked on a feelin' a natural high
You better believe it and the reason why
It’s a thing called love
It makes me feel so alive

I’m hooked on a feelin' a natural high
You better believe it and the reason why
It’s a thing called love
It makes me feel so alive
And I can’t fight the feelin'

I can’t fight the feelin'
I can’t fight the feelin'

=== I Got Nothin' Left ===
(C. Harmon, Ne-Yo)

Anybody ever tell you that you're not home
Hollow shell of a man without a soul
Never ever felt your warmth 'cause your always cold
Only thing that makes sense is letting go

Anybody ever tell you that you've got nerve
Treating my love like just another word
Tired of giving love to you that you don't deserve
So this is my way of saying it's over

'Cause I got nothing left
I got nothing left
I got nothing left
I gave you my best and you treated it worthless
So I've got nothing

Anybody ever tell you that you're gonna learn
Trust and respect are two things you must earn
When it came to loving me you just weren't concerned
You never gave a damn so I guess it's my turn

'Cause I got nothing left
I got nothing left
I got nothing left
I gave you my best and you treated it worthless

So done with you
Baby, we're through
So done, we're through

'Cause I got nothing left
I got nothing left
I got nothing left
I gave you my best and you treated it worthless

So I got nothing left
So done, (we're through)

=== Right Next To The Right One ===
(T. Christensen)

What if we were meant to be together
What if you were meant to be the one
I could hide a million years and try to believe
That any time the boy in mind will come and rescue me

'Cause you're the fire, you're the one
But you'll never see the sun
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one
And I could call it many names
But it's myself I need to blame
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one

In the end you've got a friend for lifetime
Truly there to truly care for you
I know you cry a million tears so I want you to know
That a pretty face can take you places, you don’t wanna go

'Cause you're the fire, you're the one
But you'll never see the sun
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one
And I could call it many names
But it's myself I need to blame
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one

So in the end it all depends on whether you’ll find
A warm embrace when I replace the one you had in mind...

'Cause you're the fire, you're the one
But you'll never see the sun
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one
And I could call it many names
But it's myself I need to blame
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one

Oh oh oh

If you don't know
You're right next to the right one
I could call it many names
But it's myself I need to blame
If you don’t know, you're right next to the right one
Right next to the right one
=== Fade Away ===
(A. Nova, D. Stenmarck, Peer Astrom)

I learned from the past
Not everything lasts
I understand that now
Everything changed
When you walked away
But I'll survive somehow
Though I have regrets
I'll learn to forget
And just keep movin' on
'Cause when love is gone
You have to be strong

Once touched by pain
You're not the same
But time can heal your
Heart again
So let the clouds
That bring you down
Just fade away
Away

So I try to smile
But after a while
The memories come back
But I won't give in
'Cause I know that then
My heart will fade to black
And this time I learned
That love can burn
It's an all consuming flame
There's no right or wrong
I've gotta be strong

Once touched by pain
You're not the same
But time can heal your
Heart again
So let the clouds
That bring you down
Just fade away

I know that one day
I'll find it
Feeling again
But until I do I'm doin'
Find by myself

Once touched by pain
You're not the same
But time can heal your
Heart again
So let the clouds
That bring you down

Once touched by pain
You're not the same
But time can heal your
Heart again
So let the clouds
That bring you down
So let the clouds
That bring you down
Just fade away
Away


=== That's Just The Woman In Me ===
(K. Rew, L. Gold)

If your shoes refuse to shine
And your legs don't walk in line
And tomorrow is just some other time
That's just the woman in me, baby
That's just the woman in me, baby
That's just the woman
Working on you

If your feet can't find the floor
And your key won't fit the door
And you've forgotten that two twos are four
That's just the woman in me baby
That's just the woman in me baby
That's just the woman
Working on you

I've seen you wandering baby, up and down my street
Trying to explain that love is pain to all the people that you meet
Searching for that imperious, mysterious femme fatale or kinda stuff
But if you don't know by now that it's me anyhow, then baby you've got it rough

So if your brain gets so confused
And your TV is blowing the fuse
Just come on over, you've got nothing to lose
That's just the woman in me baby
That's just the woman in me baby
That's just the woman
Working on you
Working on you
Working on you
Working on you

'Cause I need, I need a man to love
Because I need, I need a man to love
Respect me, protect me, rule over, drool over
Run away to ivory towers, buy me a bunch of flowers and love
That's just the woman in me baby
Working on you
Working on you
Working on you
Working on you
I need a man to love baby
I need a man to love

=== Skies Of L.A. ===
(C. Stewart, The-Dream, T. Harrell)

It's so sad what we have become
The beautiful days we seem to leave so undone
And I don't know where we will go from here
All I know is that I can't see, see the sun through the sky from here

Everyone has a finger
But they can't point me to the light
It can't be that hard to find
After all we're so bright

I don't know if tomorrow has a day
I don't know if the rays will shine my way
All I know is that I'm standing in a place where
My future is like the skies of L.A., skies of L.A.
Skies of L.A.

I don't know if my body can take much more
We're in the land of the richest riches
But my mind seems so poor

Everyone has a finger
But they can't point me to the light
It shouldn't be that hard to find
After all we're so bright

I see so many visions
But everyone seems out of sight
This total neglection
Skies of L.A.
My future looks like the skies of L.A.

=== Map To My Heart ===
(G. Roche, S. Peiken)

White chocolated kisses
Under the stars
Riding on horses
Boys with guitars
If you really wanna get through to me
You don't have to try so hard

Give me a reason
To dance in the dark
Be there to catch me
And I'll fall apart
If you wanna know how to get to me
Follow the map to my heart

I cry for no reason
I lie at akward moments
There's no manual
That explains where I'm going
So show me the way
Show me the way

White chocolate kisses
Under the stars
Riding on horses
Boys with guitars
If you wanna know how to get to me
Follow the map to my heart

You play that thing
Like you're talkin again
You strum those strings
Like an angel on Earth
Did you notice
I can't focus on nothing else
What's making me come
Out of my shell
Sometimes its so hard to tell
I don't even know myself
When you do
Yeah you do

Don't ask for directions
I'm tired of explaining
There's no book I've read
That says what I'm saying
So show me the way
Show me the way

Give me a reason
To dance in the dark
Be there to catch me
And I'll fall apart
If you really wanna get through to me
You don't have to try so hard

If you wanna know how to get to me
Then follow the map to my heart

Just follow it baby
To my
To my heart ...


=== The Reason I Go On ===
(C. Leuzzi, A. Nova, A. Borgius)

When I'm feeling down
The mention of your name
It lifts my spirit up
It makes me carry on,
when I don't have the strength
Your faith can heal me
Like the sun that shines
You give me light to see

Catch me 'cauze I'm falling
I'm so lost inside your love
Can you hear me calling to your heart
Cauze you're the one, the reason I go on

Could I find the words to tell you how I feel
With one look from your eyes
I know what heaven's worth
So what's in every thing
To hold and touch you

You're the air I breath
The reason my heart beats

Catch me 'cauze I'm falling
I'm so lost inside your love
Ooo, can you hear me calling to your heart
Cauze you're the one, the reason I go on

The Reason I Go On, yeah
Babe I'm just dreaming
But my hope it keeps me strong
Catch me 'cauze I'm falling
I'm so lost inside your love
Ooo, can you hear me calling to your heart
Cauze you're the one, the reason I go on
The Reason I Go On

WOW! Thanks for all the lyrics!
