Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer

作詞/作曲：David M. Ellingson / Kim Carnes

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it'd be so easy to tell ya I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

I was so sure this would be the night
You'd close the door and want to stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell ya I'll stay
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Oh, put out the light, just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Now it's mornin' and the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before ya change your mind

And if ya knew what I was thinkin', girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Oh, put out the light, just hold on
Before we say goodbye
Before we say goodbye
Goodbye

You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)。

 Writers:James Dean John Glover

 

Baby, come as you are

with just your heart

And I'll take you in

You're rejected and hurt,

to me you're worth

What you have within

I don't need no superstar

'Cause I'll accept you as you are

You won't be denied,

'cause I'm satisfied

With the love that you can inspire

You don't have to be a star, baby,

to be in my show

You don't have to be a star, baby,

to be in my show

Somebody nobody knows

could steal the tune

That you want to hear

So stop your runnin' around,

'cause now you've found

What was cloudy is clear, oh honey

There'll be no cheerin' from the crowd

Just two hearts beatin' out loud

There'll be no parade, no tv or stage

Only me 'til your dyin' day

You don't have to be a star, baby,

(no no no)

to be in my show

(To be, oh honey)

You don't have to be a star, baby,

to be in my, my, my, my, my, my show

(ad-lib)

Don't think your star has

to shine for me to find out

Where you're comin' from

What is a beauty queen if it don't mean

That I'm number one? (oh honey)

I don't need no superstar

'Cause I'll accept you as you are

You won't be denied,

'cause I'm satisfied

With the love that you can inspire

You don't have to be a star, baby,

to be in my show

You don't have to be a star,

baby,

(no no no baby)

to be in my show

(oh sweet darlin')

You don't have to be a star, baby,

(hey hey)

to be in my, my, my, my, my, my show

Fool (If You Think It’s Over)

作詞/作曲：Christopher Anton Rea

 

… Dying flame
You're free again
Who could love
Do that to you?
All dressed in black
He won't be coming back
Well, save your tears
You've got years and years

… The pains of 17s
Unreal, they're only dreams
Save your crying for the day

… Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
Newborn eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
Fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

… Miss teenage dream
Such a tragic scene
He knocked your crown
And ran away
First wound of pride
And how you cried and cried
But save your tears
You've got years and years

… Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
(Fool if you think it's over)
(Fool if you think it's over)

… I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day (fool if you think it's over)

… Newborn eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun
