against all odds

how can i just let you walk away
just let you leave without a trace
when i'm standing taking every breath
with you, ooohhh
you're the only one who really knew me
at all

how can you just walk away from me
when all i can do is watch you leave
cause we shared the laughter and the pain
and even shared the tears
you're the only one who really knew me at all

so take a look at me now
there's just an empty space
there's nothing left here to remind me
just the memory of your face
so take a look at me now
coz there's just an empty space
and you're coming back to me it's against the odds
and that's what i've got to face

i wish i could just make you turn around
turn around and see me cry
there's so much i need to say to you
so many reasons why
you're the only one who really knew me at all

so take a look at me now
well there's just an empty space
there's nothing left here to remind me
just the memory of your face
so take a look at me now
so there's just an empty space
but to wait for you is all i can do
and that's what i've got to face

take a good look at me now
cause i'll still be standing here
(standing here)
and you coming back to me is against all odds
and that's a chance i've got to take

chance i've got to take
got to take

take a look at me now, ooh
take a look at me now
take a look at me now

true coulours

you can't hurry love

i need love, love
ooh, ease my mind
and i need to find time
someone to call mine;

my mama said
you can't hurry love
no, you'll just have to wait
she said love don't come easy
but it's a game of give and take
you can't hurry love
no, you'll just have to wait
just trust in a good time
no matter how long it takes

how many heartaches must i stand
before i find the love to let me live again
right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
when i feel my strength, ooh, it's almost gone

i remember mama said
you can't hurry love
no you'll just have to wait
she said love don't come easy
it's a game of give and take
how long must i wait
how much more must i take
before loneliness
will cause my heart, heart to break

no, i cant bear to live my life alone
i grow impatient for a love to call my own
but when i feel that i, i can't go on
well these precious words keep me hanging on

i remember mama said
you can't hurry love
no, you'll just have to wait
she said love don't come easy
well, it's a game of give and take
you can't hurry love
no, you'll just have to wait
just trust in a good time
no matter how long it takes, now break!

now love, love don't come easy
but i keep on waiting
anticipating for that soft voice
to talk to me at night
for some tender arms
hold me tight
i keep waiting
ooh, till that day
but it ain't easy (love don't come easy)
no, you know it ain't easy

my mama said
you can't hurry love
no, you'll just have to wait
she said love don't come easy
it's a game of give and take...

another day in paradise

she calls out to the man on the street
"sir, can you help me?
it's cold and i've nowhere to sleep,
is there somewhere you can tell me?"

he walks on, doesn't look back
he pretends he can't hear her
starts to whistle as he crosses the street
seems embarrassed to be there

oh
think twice
'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
oh
think twice
'cause it's another day for you
you and me in paradise

(think about it)

she calls out to the man on the street
he can see she's been crying
she's got blisters on the soles of her feet
she can't walk but she's trying

oh
think twice
'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
oh
think twice
it's just another day for you
you and me in paradise

just think about it

oh lord!
is there nothing more anybody can do?
oh-oh whoa lord!
there must be something you can say

you can tell from the lines on her face
you can see that she's been there
probably been moved on from every place
cause she didn't fit in there

oh
think twice
'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
oh
think twice
it's just another day for you
you and me in paradise (another day in paradise, ooh)

just think about it
hmm-mmm
think about it

it's just another day
for you and me
in paradise
it's just another day
for you and me
in paradise
(para, paradise)

(paradise) it's just another day
for you and me (ooh-ooh)
(just think about it) in paradise
(paradise) it's just another day
for you and me
(just think about it) in paradise
(para, paradise)

(ooh-ooh, in paradise) it's just another day
for you and me
(hmm-mmm, paradise) in paradise
it's just another day (paradise)
for you and me (just another day)
(in paradise) in paradise
(para, paradise)
