DOUBLE EXPOSURE

L. Macalouso / S. Pomeranz / G. Sklerov

Somebody calls, she runs for the telephone
Down in the hall
Who is she talking to tonight ?
And you know she’s just pretending
When she says she’s only a friend
She’s telling a lie again
And you die again
‘Cause she never meant to let you see her

Double exposure
Just when you think that you know her
She’s showing a side she’s been trying to hide
And you can’t believe your heart

Over and over
You see a double exposure
Will she fool you tonight
When you turn out the light
Is she colder, when you hold her

Under the moon, she moves like a shadow
You’re giving her room, you hope it’s a stage she’s going through
But her faces keep on changing
And you thought you knew her so well
You’re caught in a living hell
‘Cause she weaves a spell
And it’s hard to tell
If you really saw her

Double exposure
Just when you think that you know her
She’s showing a side she’s been trying to hide
And you can’t believe your heart

Over and over
You see a double exposure
Will she fool you tonight
When you turn out the light
Is she colder, when you hold her

Well you want her back so bad
Yes you want what you thought that you had
How will you know which side is true
When she’s cut in two, what you’re going to do
When she’s showing you her

Double exposure
Just when you think that you know her
She’s showing a side she’s been trying to hide
And you can’t believe your heart

Over and over
You see a double exposure
Will she fool you tonight
When you turn out the light
Is she colder, when you hold her

ONE SHOT LOVER

A. Free / M. Malyster
(reprise par le groupe Venus)

You’re as smooth as steel
Wear suits that shimmer of the finest silk
And if looks could kill
You hunt the easy mark
Another trophy lines up in your sights
Just for entertainment
A target for the night
And you never
Ever think of her again

‘Cause you’re a one shot lover
I see what you are, a touch so tender
Packs an empty heart
For a one shot memory
I played into your hands, now one shot lover
Wants a second chance with me

Have to hide the smile
Yes, there’s poetic justice after all
Like some higher law
So who’s the entertainment now ?
It’s just insanity
‘Cause I should never
Ever think of you again

You’re just a one shot lover
Always keeping score, but I keep feeling
Might be something more
For a one shot memory
I played into your hands, now one shot lover
Wants a second chance with me

(parlé)
Écoute, tu sais que je t’aime
Mais c’est impossible maintenant
Non, je n’crois plus à tes promesses

You’re a one shot lover
Always keeping score, but I keep feeling
Might be something more
Than a one shot memory
If we take a chance
Hey, one shot lover
It’s all in our hands tonight

IF YOU WALK AWAY

(S. Adams / T. Cerney)

Don’t just stand there
With those guilty eyes
If you’re gonna pull the trigger
I don’t wanna hear no alibis

Don’t try to tell me
It’s your hard hard cross to bear
‘Cause I’m the one that’s losing
I’m not going anywhere

If you walk away from love
You’re headed down a long hard road
If you’re gonna leave me now
There’s something you should know
It’s gonna take a long long time
It’s something you might never find
‘Cause if you walk away from me
You walk away from love

Was I just dreaming
Were you playing out a part
Is this the final curtain
Closing on my heart
So if you’re going
Then go ahead and leave
‘Cause I’m not gonna beg you
Or get down on my knees

Somewhere down the road you’ll realize
The love you need was right here all the time
If you walk away

LET ME SHOW YOU HOW

N. Chinn / P. Gurvitz

Just around the corner’s a place called Sloppy Joe’s
It’s a crazy little place where anyone goes
I go there for the boys on a Saturday night
And I don’t get out till it’s broad daylight
Then he said just around the corner’s a place called home
If you give me one more dance and we’ll be alone
‘Cause my heart is beating double
My head is out of time
Oh babe I really need you
I’ve got to make you mine

Now the music’s getting louder
Your kisses feel sincere
The lights are getting lower
It’s time to disappear
Take me to your hideout
Take me from this place
Oh lead me to your love nest
And I’ll show you all my lace

Come on baby now
Let me show you how
Excitement through the night is never ending
Just look into my eyes
And you’ll find there’s no disguise
Just give yourself to me there’s no pretending
Come on baby now
Let me show you how
Excitement through the night is never ending
Just look into my eyes
And you’ll find there’s no disguise
Just give yourself to me there’s no pretending

It feels so good I knew it would
And nothing would stop us
From sharing what we’ve got to give each other
And now it’s like we’ve danced all night
I knew that it would be all right
‘Cause baby we were meant to be lovers
Oh baby we were meant to be lovers

Come on baby now
Let me show you how
Excitement through the night is never ending
Just look into my eyes
And you’ll find there’s no disguise
Just give yourself to me there’s no pretending

Let me show you now
Let me show you how
Let me show you now
Let me show you how

Come on baby now
Let me show you how
Excitement through the night is never ending

I SAW MARY

(L. Raggio – G. Simmons)

Billy called last night, he had to break our date
So I called Mary, she’d be out ’til late
Well my Friday night was in the company of magazines and TV
All the time I was wonderin’ why Billy was too busy for me

Then I saw Mary on the street today
I saw Mary, she had this to say
My friend Mary, she told me to stay away
My best Mary and my love were cheatin’ on me

My heart is broken, I feel like I’ve been used
Believe me Billy, she’s gonna use you too
She may tell you that she thinks you’re hot
And she’s burning with desire
She’ll never love you the way I do
I tell you she is a liar

‘Cause I saw Mary on the street today
I saw Mary, she had this to say
My friend Mary, she told me to stay away
My best Mary and my love were cheatin’ on me

Mary’s got you thinkin’ she can give you so much more
Hey Billy, don’t call me when Mary walks out the door

I saw Mary on the street today
I saw Mary, she had this to say
My friend Mary, she told me to stay away
My best Mary’s got my love

I saw Mary, she’s got my lover
I saw Mary, she told me it was over
I saw Mary, she told me to stay away
I saw Mary, she’s got my lover, oh
I saw Mary, she told me it was over

OUT OF CONTROL

(L. Macaluso – S. Adams)

Here comes that boy again
Givin’ me the eyes
I feel the danger signals
Warning me to hide
But I can’t hold back
When the fire starts to glow
That’s when my heart goes
Out of control

Something about the way
He stares straight into me
His eyes like fingers
Touching me so eagerly
I try to break away
He tightens up his hold
That’s when my heart goes
Out of control

And I just can’t fight it, oh no
Out of control
Like a hunted heart
Trapped in the jaws of desire
When I feel the passion flowing
And I feel the fire growing
That’s when my heart goes
Out of control

My fever’s rising as
He slowly closes in
My body’s aching and
I know I must give in
I can’t resist him
My emotions overload
He’s got my heart going
Out of control

When we kiss I feel the thunder
I can’t break this spell I’m under
You’ve got my heart
Going out of control

Out of control
And I just can’t fight it, oh no
Out of control
Like a hunted heart
Trapped in the jaws of desire
Out of control
And I just can’t fight it, oh no
Out of control
Like a hunted heart
Trapped in the jaws of desire
Out of control
Out of control
Trapped in the jaws of desire
Out of control
Out of control

WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME

(Mike Chapman / Holly Knight)

When you’re so far away,
At the end of each day
Counting the moments till you fade away.
Inside my soul,
Under passion’s control,
Are feelings I can’t find the words to explain
Just like the first time I’m helpless again.

Wrap your arms around me
Let your love surround me
Make love to me now like never before.
Wrap your arms around me
From the day you found me
You’ll never be alone.

The nights are so cold,
With just your memory to hold
I’ve tried to be strong, reaching out holding on.
Alone in my bed,
I cling to each word you said,
Wanting you more everyday we’re apart
And each precious moment is safe in my heart.

Wrap your arms around me
Let your love surround me
Make love to me now like never before.
Wrap your arms around me
From the day you found me
You’ll never be alone.

RUNNING SCARED

(G. M. Elian – J. Tunnell – R. Ash)

I can run try to hide if I want to
But ooh baby it’s much bigger than me
I can’t sleep no you’ve become an obsession
And ooh lately I close my eyes and you’re all I see
Every time I get up and start
Headling for the door
I’m really no further from you
Than I was before

(running scared) from what I want the most
(running scared) afraid to get too close
(running scared) I don’t wanna run
(running scared) but the passion wins
(running scared) look like I’m giving in
(running scared, running scared) I don’t wanna run

Hear a voice it follows me to the corner
Is it you baby I turn around but it’s just the wind
Hop on a bus it seems I’ve lost my direction
‘Cause ooh baby I’m right back here at your door again

Why don’t I just give up
While my sanity’s intact
Seems the faster I run from you
The harder I snap back

I don’t wanna run

Every time I get up and start
Headling for the door
I’m really no further from you
Than I was before

(running scared) from what I want the most
(running scared) afraid to get too close
(running scared) I don’t wanna run

HEARD IT IN A HEARTBEAT

(K. A. Parker – M. Jay) – titre repris par Peter Wilson en 2024

Eye to eye across the room
Hands reach out to touch
Face to face how could we know
Hearts could hold so much
I can see your love showin’
I know where this is goin’

I heard it in a heartbeat
Heard it in a whisper in the dark
I knew it in an instant
Ooh love has made its mark
Well it’s hard to hide when the earth is shakin’
We can’t fake what we’ve been makin’

Heard it in a heartbeat
Yes I heard it in a heartbeat
Ooh I heard it in a heartbeat
Yes I heard it in a heartbeat

Day to day I’m more alive
Every inch awake
Seein’ colors I forgot
The rainbow love can make
I know you didn’t say so
How could you think I don’t know

Heard it in a heartbeat
Yes I heard it in a heartbeat
Ooh I heard it in a heartbeat
Yes I heard it in a heartbeat

I know there’s nothin’ missin’
I only need to listen

Heard it in a heartbeat
Yes I heard it in a heartbeat
Ooh I heard it in a heartbeat
Yes I heard it in a heartbeat

Heard it in a heartbeat
Ooh I heard it in a heartbeat
Yes I heard it in a heartbeat

SHOOTING STAR

(L. Macaluso – G. Sklerov – S. Pomerantz)

I got wings, I got dreams, and there’s nothing gonna stop me,
No one’s gonna drop me, I’m goin’ over the top.
I can fly, gotta try, gonna find my way to heaven,
So far away, I’ve only dreamed it,
So close, I know I’ve seen it.

Shooting star, I’ve been climbin’ to where you are,
Reaching out for the fire in the sky.
I know I’m going higher than a
Shooting star, every night when you light the dark.
You’re just a touch away from me,
I know that I can be a shooting star.

When I’ve lost, when I’m caught, and nobody seems to want me,
When my feelings seem to haunt me, I look for you in the night.
Moving fast, flashing past, and I see your brightest moment.
It takes a special eye to catch you,
Takes a burning heart to match you.

I got the will to be the best.
I can make it, I can make it.
I’m gonna rise above the rest.
I’m shining deep inside me,
I got the spark to light me
Like a shooting star.

Shooting star, every night when you light the dark.
You’re just a touch away from me,
I know that I can be a shooting star.
Shooting star, I’ve been climbin’ to where you are,
Reaching out for the fire in the sky.
I know I’m going higher than a
Shooting star, every night when you light the dark.
You’re just a touch away from me,
I know that I can be a shooting star.
Shooting star,
Shooting star.

SHE CAN DANCE

(extrait de la BOF « He’s my girl »)

You’d never know it
Nobody would ever guess
She doesn’t show it,
She does her very best to hide it,
To fight it.

Those baggy pants,
Wears them almost everywhere.
She don’t get fancy,
She don’t need you to stare at her,
Don’t flatter her.

The lights were down,
Someone turns the music up.
She’s moving now,
Moving to the side of her.
You feel the heat coming from across the room,
Another time she’ll show you how…

She can dance,
She can dance an attitude,
She can do that,
She can dance.
She’s telling you what she can do—
She can dance.

She makes you wonder:
Do you always judge a book
By the cover?
Makes you take another good look—
Uh, good looking!

You reconsider,
Make your way across the floor.
Some heavy ???
Moving before you—action
And reaction.

She don’t need you,
All she wants to do is move.
You want her too,
But she ain’t got a thing to prove.
You catch her eye,
Not sure who she might be smiling at.
She might be shy, but she knows that…

She can dance,
She can dance an attitude,
She can do that,
She can dance.
She’s telling you what she can do—
She can dance,
She can dance.
