Cher - Closer To The Truth Album Lyrics

---

Woman's World

I'm dancin' solo
In the dark on the club floor
I need to let it go
Shake it off stop thinkin' 'bout you

I lose myself in the beat of the drum
Tryin' try-tryin' to forget what you done done
But honey this is a battle that you haven't won

Torn up, busted, taken apart
I've been broken down
Left with a broken heart
But I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's world

Tell the truth
This is a woman's world
Tell the truth
This is a woman's world

And I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's world

Tell the truth
This is a woman's world
Tell the truth
This is a woman's world

And I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's world

Love Hurts, your lies, they cut me
But now your words don't mean a thing
I don't give a damn if you ever love me

'Cause it don't matter I'm movin' on
Go-gonna lose myself in the beat of the drum
'Cause honey this is a battle that you haven't won

Torn up, busted, taken apart
I've been broken down
Left with a broken heart
But I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's world

Tell the truth
This is a woman's world
Tell the truth
This is a woman's world

And I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's world

Tell the truth
This is a woman's world
Tell the truth
This is a woman's world

And I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's world

All the women in the world
Stand up come together now
This is a woman's world
Everybody in the club
Stand up come together now
This is a woman's world
All the women in the world
Stand up come together now
This is a woman's world
Everybody in the club
Stand up come together now
This is a woman's world

Tell the truth
This is a woman's world
Tell the truth
This is a woman's world

And I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's world

Tell the truth
This is a woman's world
Tell the truth
This is a woman's world

And I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world
This is a woman's world

Take It Like A Man

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can

They say it's better to love and to lose it all
I didn't learn how to fly without a heavy fall
I went from A to Z, blew off reality
So if my love is a game then you should learn the rules
You take it on if you're leaving wonder why you lose
It takes a wiser man to figure out my head

I've been in love, went to the other side
I've seen the other side
I'm not about to fall into another tonight
So get it right

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can
So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man

I've seen and done it all
I've been misunderstood
But tell me what could be bad about feeling good
It's all or nothing now
'Cause fate don't wait around

I've been in love, went to the other side
I've seen the other side
I'm not about to fall into another tonight
So get it right

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can

So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man

Sometimes it feels
Like we've got everything to prove
We make believe
But we rise again to face the truth

On and on, on and on we're going
On and on, on and on it's growing
On and on, on and on only the real
Know the deal

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can

So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man

How does it feel? We do it better!
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better!
We do it better!

How does it feel? We do it better!
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better!
We do it better!

How does it feel? We do it better!
So get the love that's in your heart
How does it feel? We do it better...

My Love

I heard you wanna be somebody
But you're already shining on me
She tried to make you feel so lonely
But you can be my one and only love
My love, my love
You can be my love
My love, my love

You've got the dreams to go on
Take a step and look towards the sun
It doesn't matter where you've come from
Here is where you'll always be the one
My love, my love

You're not alone
'Cause I found a place where you can belong
Somewhere you know you can run to
So if you need me to hold you
You can be my love

If you could only see what I see
I'm dazzled by the beauty in front of me
So if you want to know how I feel
I feel like you were meant to be my love
My love, my love

You're not alone
'Cause I found a place where you can belong
Somewhere you know you can run to
So if you need me to hold you
You can be my love

You can be my love
You can be my love
You can be my love
You can be my love

Somewhere you know you can run to
So if you need me to hold you
You can be my love

(My love, my love, my love)

Somewhere you know you can run to
So if you need me to hold you
You can be my love

I know you wanna be somebody
You can take you're time you're with me
I can feel your heart beat through me
Feel like you were meant to be my love
My love, my love
You can be my love
My love, my love

Dressed To Kill

I slip into my shoes and slide into the night
I'm on the loose you're in my sights
You know it's gonna hurt you but it's just no use
You fall in love they always do
And I'm waiting for the next one to fall

I'm dressed to kill and you know that I will
We're dancing in the dark with my hands around your heart
Oh, heads will roll and blood will spill
But how can you resist when baby I am dressed to kill

I know your love is strong but it's all it in vain
Beware the skies the lipstick stains
And he can't even see that he's just another one
It's far too late he's too far gone
And I'm waiting for the next one to fall

I'm dressed to kill and you know that I will
We're dancing in the dark with my hands around your heart
Oh, heads will roll and blood will spill
But how can you resist when baby I am dressed to kill

How can you resist when baby I am dressed to kill

You know I'm the only one
I can make you come undone
And you'll be part of me
From now until eternity

I'm dressed to kill and you know that I will
We're dancing in the dark with my hands around your heart
Oh, heads will roll and blood will spill
But how can you resist when baby I am dressed to kill

Red

All I see is red, now
Just can't dream nothing else
All I see is red, now
I'm drowning, no one can help

Sirens through my head, everything you said
Floating lost at sea with sharks around our bed
Wish I heard the call when it was the end
Warnings filled the air but it was too late to pretend
We were living in black and white
Under the grayest sky
Since we've been over, it won't stop

All I see is red, now
Just can't dream nothing else
All I see is red, now
I'm drowning no one can help
It's all around me
Red from my heart, red like my blood
Red from my lips when you told me you were done
Red, now
All I see is red now

Used to be that you were every color of my life
A rainbow shining through the rain, cutting like a knife
You were my obsession every night and every day
So when we fell apart the blue was more than I could take
We were living in black and white
Under the grayest sky
Since we've been over, it won't stop

All I see is red, red
All I see is red, red
It's all around me
Red from my heart, red like my blood
Red from my lips when you told me you were done
Red, now
All I see is red, now

Red from my heart, red like my blood
Red from my lips when you told me you were done
Red from my heart, red like my blood
Red from my lips when you told me you were done

Red, now
Just can't dream nothing else
All I see is red, now
I'm drowning, no one can help
It's all around me

Lovers Forever

Imagine a life without death or disease
The kind of power to bring a rich man to his knees

I offer you this
But it comes with a price
A moments pain for such a trifle sacrifice

I can show you worlds no human eyes have seen
I can show you worlds beyond all reasoning

[Chorus:]
Surrender to me now
And we'll be lovers for all time
Ageless and sublime
We'll be lovers forever

We'll live just like gods
Reaching every desire
We'll savor ecstasy with every kiss of fire

I offer you more
Than mere words can express
And many mortals who would pray their souls for less

With one gesture I can set your spirit free
With one gesture you'll be mine eternally

[Chorus 3x]

Surrender to me now...

I Walk Alone

There's a poet in me that remembers
And there's an honesty in every word
There's a dancer that feels her own beat
And there's a daughter who loves

There's a sinner in my bones
And there's a joker in my head
There are secrets in my soul
And there are sorries that I have never said

But there's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
But for now I gotta walk alone
I gotta walk alone

There's a tight rope that I've been walking
There's a daisy in my hair
There's a heartbreak that has taught me
Of what is raging
And there's only love and fear

There's a sadness in my confessions
There's a hyena howling at the moon
And there's a gypsy in me that keeps on roaming
And there's a an anger as I get closer to the truth

But there's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
But for now I gotta walk alone
I gotta walk alone
I gotta walk alone
I've got to walk alone
But for now I gotta walk alone

Oh, I hear the thunder but I won't back down
A soldier marches through the wrong side of town
I'm gonna love you until I bleed
And that's the story of me
I gotta walk alone

If they say time is everything
There's a time to dance
Time to laugh
Time to cry
Time to go
Time to grieve
Time to come

Oh, I still got time to cope
Time to hope
Time to play
Time to grow
But for now I gotta walk alone
I've got to walk alone
I've got to walk alone
I gotta walk alone
For now I gotta walk alone

Sirens

Last night I dreamt I was floating with you
The river so deep and the sky perfect blue
If we leave behind the dust in the sky
From the sound of Sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of Sirens love will survive

And when your heart is on the run
When its chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

Streets lie so empty, the lost avenues
The lights of Saint Vincent are too much to lose
If we leave behind the dust in the sky
From the sound of Sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of Sirens love will survive

And when your heart is on the run
When its chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

If we leave behind the tears in our eyes
From the sound of Sirens the city will rise
Hold your hand in mine, we'll swim against the tide
From the sound of Sirens love will survive

And when your heart is on the run
When its chains have come undone
I will always be the one to carry you home

Favourite Scars

Best jump
Like do we feel we're going nowhere
Unless we're falling
We're not ready to give up until we're crawling
Don't make it easy on ourselves

Climbing
Risk it all if you ain't living you're surviving
Tell me why you tip your toes when you could dive in
Don't be scared to hurt yourself

Take your heart back off the shell

Love covers you up in a landslide
Love pulls you under like a riptide
Love's when you crash trying to hang glide
Love's when you run and then there's no light

Love is a sword when you've got no defense
Love is the rock we throw ourselves against
Love is the healing of a broken heart
The story behind all of my favorite scars
Oh, all of my favorite scars
All of my favorite scars
Oh, all of my favorite scars

High-wire
Don't look down, because below you is a raging fire
But love is waiting for you on the other side
We're not easy on ourselves

So take your heart back off the shelf

Love covers you up in a landslide
Love pulls you under like a riptide
Love's when you crash trying to hang glide
Love's when you run and then there's no light

Love is a sword when you've got no defense
Love is the rock we throw ourselves against
Love is the healing of a broken heart
The story behind all of my favorite scars
Oh, all of my favorite scars
All of my favorite scars
Oh, all of my favorite scars

Love covers you up in a landslide
Love pulls you under like a riptide
Love's when you crash trying to hang glide
Love's when you run and then there's no light

Love is a sword when you've got no defense
Love is the rock we throw ourselves against
Love is the healing of a broken heart
The story behind all of my favorite scars
Oh, all of my favorite scars
All of my favorite scars
Oh, all of my favorite scars

I Hope You Find It

These clouds aren't going nowhere, darling
Rain keeps coming down
I just thought I'd try to call you
For you got too far outta town
And I hope that you get this message that I'm leaving for you
'Cause I'd hate that you left without hearing the words that I needed you to

And I hope you find it
What you're looking for
I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more

And I hope you're happy, wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
I hope you find it

Am I supposed to hang around and wait forever?
Last words that I said
But that was nothing but a broken heart talking, darling
You know it wasn't what I meant
Call me up, let me know that you got this message that I'm leaving for you
'Cause I'd hate that you left without hearing the words that I needed you to

And I hope you find it
What you're looking for
I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more

And I hope you're happy, wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
I hope you find it

Whatever it is out there that you were missing here

Well, I hope you find it
What you're looking for
I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more

And I hope you're happy wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
I hope you find it
I hope you find it
Oh, oh

Lie To Me

Hmmm...

Oh, f*ck, just lie to me
Tell me something sweet
Till I look the other way
Don't wanna start over babe
Already gave you everything
I got nothing left of me
The truth is overrated

Here it comes now, you're gonna stab me in the heart
I'm gonna hold my ears, so I can't hear us fall apart
Oh, I'm just a little broken down, trying to keep myself alive
So don't kill me
Don't kill me

Neither one of us is pure enough to come clean

I'd rather you lie to me
And look me dead in the eyes
Tell me I'm the one you need
I don't wanna start over babe
This was my everything
You were my last chance, you see
Truth is overrated to me

Is this all common now?
Where's that fairytale that sold us out?
Oh, do you really think you're the only one with secrets now?
See, you're like me
You're just like me

Well, one of us is happy
Other bleeds

So just lie to me
I tell you something sweet
Till we look the other way
We don't wanna start over babe
Weavin' up everything
Till there's nothing left

Hmmm...

I Don't Have To Sleep To Dream

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

I gave up the fight for love
Walked away to come for gloves
No more wishing on a star
Waiting for someone
What if no one ever comes

So I kept my eyes closed, hands up, dancing by myself
Oh, I never felt nothing better
Baby how could I know you'd come rushing down from Heaven
Now my heart is open forever

I don't have to sleep to dream
I can hardly believe what I see
When you stand before me
You're everything I never thought
That I would ever find
Now I don't have to sleep to dream
You're a dream to me

There's a cure for bleeding heart
Think you showed me where to start
Everytime I lose my grip
You keep me hangin' on
You remind that I'm strong

So I kept my eyes closed, hands up, dancing by myself
Oh, I never felt nothing better
Baby how could I know you'd come rushing down from Heaven
Now my heart is open forever

I don't have to sleep to dream
I can hardly believe what I see
When you stand before me
You're everything I never thought
That I would ever found
Now I don't have to sleep to dream
You're a dream
I don't have to sleep to dream
I can hardly believe what I see
When you stand before me
You're everything I never thought
That I would ever find
Now I don't have to sleep to dream
You're a dream to me

You're a dream

I don't have to sleep to dream
I can hardly believe what I see
When you stand before me
You're everything I never thought
That I would ever find
Now I don't have to sleep to dream
You're a dream
You're a dream to me

Pride

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

Livin' it up, livin' it up
We're livin' it up
While the world is catching fire
Dancing in the flames

Feelin' in love, feelin' in love
We're feelin' in love
And we're burning with desire
And waiting out of space

And if it was the last chance to shine
I know that we could make it alright
We're gonna put it on on the line
Everytime

We got pride
We own, we own the night
We are, we are the light
This is within your life
And we won't stop now
Give up a sign
and we won't stop now
This is our time
Pride
We own, we own the night
We got pride

Giving it up, giving it up
Giving it up
In the hail of broken chains
Raining down for days
Never enough, never enough
Cause never enough
When ur always chasing dreams
We can still believe

And if it was the last chance to shine
I know that we could make it this time
We're gonna put it on on the line
Oh, and everytime

We got pride
We own, we own the night
We are, we are the light
This is within your life

And we won't stop now
Give up a sign

This is our time

We own, we own the night

We got pride
We own, we own the night
We are, we are the light
This is within your life

And we won't stop now
Give up a sign
and we won't stop now
This is our time
Pride
We own, we own the night
We got pride

You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there's just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I'll get up again
Don't count me out just yet

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me

They can say that
I won't stay around
But I'm gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me
You don't know me
You don't know who I am
Don't count me out so fast

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I'm down now
But I'll be standing tall again
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

No no
I'm not going nowhere
I'm staying right here
Oh no
You won't see me begging
I'm not taking my bow
Can't stop me
It's not the end
You haven't seen the last of me
Oh no
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me

Will You Wait For Me

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

I'll go for hours without saying a word
That don't mean there's nothing on my mind
If I had the words down in poetry then
You know I'd write the perfect line

What I'm giving you
Is less than you deserve
And I know that it hurts
If love is worth all the pain in the world
Then it's sure worth the fight

Nobody said that it was easy to love
I know you wanna run
You're not the only one
Feels like I headed down a dead-end street
But feels not half as strong as destiny
Darling, wait for me
Will you wait for me

My arm is rusty and my vision is weak
But still I see the path to you
I know you're praying for a miracle babe
And I'm saying that same prayer too

The way you look at me
It's so obvious
I'm the only one
If we live in love a thousand years
It still wouldn't be enough

Nobody said that it was easy to love
I know you wanna run
You're not the only one
Feels like I headed down a dead-end street
But feels not half as strong as destiny
Darling wait for me
Will you wait for me

Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me
Oh oh

Nobody said that it was easy to love
I know you wanna run
You're not the only one
Feels like I headed down a dead-end street
But feels not half as strong as destiny
Darling wait for me
Will you wait for me
Darling wait for me
Will you wait for me
