Rick Springfield - Playlist: The Very Best Of Rick Springfield Album Lyrics

Why don't you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause you're my girl, some say it's no longer true
You're seeing some slick continental dude
I'm begging you, please

Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't talk to strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
Don't talk, don't talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you,don't talk

Now tell me, how's life in the big city
I hear the competition's tough, baby that's a pity
And every man's an actor, every girl is pretty
I don't like what's getting back to me

Now who's this, Don Juan I've been hearing of
Love hurts when only one's in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
I'm begging you, please

Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't talk to strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
Don't talk, don't talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, don't talk

Fais l'amour avec moi
What's he saying baby
Viens dormir, mon amour
I asked you not to talk to him
Je t'aime donne moi ton coeur ce soir
I'm begging you

Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't talk to strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
Don't talk, don't talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, don't talk

Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't talk to strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you,
Baby don't you talk,
Don't talk to strangers

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

She was cold sometimes
But she made me feel alive
She was such a spoiled baby
But baby, she could love
And she loved me like nobody ever will again
I thought we'd be together
When the world ran down
When the curtain fell and the lights came up
But the gods or whatever make the world go round
Shuffled when they should have cut

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

Did it come too easy to the two of us
Did we go too wrong to ever make it right
Were we too busy checking out the left hand
That we didn't see the right, and

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I

Oh baby, please, oh baby, please come back
I meant to say in time
Baby we could work it out
But I never meant to say goodbye

Tell me what kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

I get excited
Just thinkin' what you might be like
I get excited
There's heaven in your eyes tonight
The fire's ignited down below
It's burning bright
Oh baby, stay, we got all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees tonight

No baby, you don't look that nervous
When you bite your lip
You keep 'em open when we kiss
You're a hypocrite
You got my body dancin' tangos
In three four time
This angel is gonna spread her wings tonight

I get excited
Just thinkin' what you might be like
I get excited
There's heaven in your eyes tonight
The fire's ignited down below
It's burning bright
Oh baby, stay, we got all night, all night
We got all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees tonight
Tonight.... tonight......

Baby, I can feel your heart beat
Can't you feel the heat
Baby's got the cold feet, fire below
Oh baby stay we got
Oh baby stay we got

All night, all night
We got, all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees
All night, all night,
We've got, all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees
Tonight, tonight

Hungry to touch, I'm eager to please
Out of control and I hand you the keys
Every night I am burning to make love to you

But don't try to tell me you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that

You ought to know it's an affair of the heart

[Chorus:]
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith, believe
It's an affair of the heart

When we make love, it's a passionate thing
You shudder and shake, sink your teeth in my skin
I almost believe you were made to be played by my hands

And you got the power, it amazes me still
How you play my emotions with consummate skill
I don't have to look any further than into your eyes

So don't try to tell me you think it's just physical
It goes way deeper than that
You better know it's an affair of the heart

[Chorus]

Don't try to tell me you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart

[Chorus]

You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
You better know it's an affair of the heart

[Chorus]

But Sally has a hard time holding back
The alley to her heart is a beaten track
She's got the love monkey riding on her back

[Chorus:]
We all need the human touch
We all need the human touch
I need it the human touch
We all need the human touch
We all need it, and I need it too!

You know, I got my walls, Sally calls them prison cells
Sometimes I need protection, I've got the chains
I got the warning bells
I sit so snug and isolated alone in the modern world-uh huh

But Sally has a hard time holding back
The alley to her heart is a beaten track
She's never out of love, yeah she's got the knack
You've got love I want it, come on girl

[Chorus]

Human touch
Human touch
Human touch
Human touch

I'm so scared and isolated in the modern world

We all need
We all need the human touch
We all need the human touch
We all need the human touch
I need it the human touch
We all need the human touch
I need it the human touch
We all need it, and I need it too!

Human touch

Baby loving you has been hard on me
You're such a tough little sister
Just looking for Mr. Right
On the wrong side of town

You better Love Somebody
It's late
You better Love Somebody
Don't wait
You better Love Somebody
Don't tempt fate
You're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

Your eyes are wild, your skin so white
You're undernourished and overfed
She's got the teeth, she knows how to bite
'Cause when you bit I bled
You got the perfect image
Of the perfect man
You're a tough little sister
But you'll settle for a mister tonight
But you're running out of time

You better love somebody
It's late
You better love somebody
Don't wait
You better love somebody
Don't tempt fate
You're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

I'm only saying what I feel
You think I'm wrong I know
You thought I was sleeping at the wheel
I thought that you were driving

You better love somebody
You better love somebody
You better love somebody
It's late
You better love somebody
Don't wait
You better love somebody
Don't tempt fate
They're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night...

But I'm gonna hold on tight
I've got a feeling
You'll only happen once to me
And no one, not even you
Is ever gonna make you wrong for me

Don't walk sway
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Don't walk away
I'll do everything to make you stay
I've got to make a stand
Don't walk away
I'm not afraid
Don't walk away

I don't know where you're going
But I know what you've got on your mind
And I think your fear is showing
You don't leave things like fear behind

And I hate to be the one
To break it to you that
We're only human after all
I can mend a broken wing
I'll give you everything I have

Don't walk away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Don't walk away
I'll do everything to make you stay
I've got to make a stand
Don't Walk Away
I'm not afraid
Don't walk away

You used to be the one
Who used to be so strong
What happened to your rationale

Your heart is on the line
It happens all the time

Don't walk away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Don't walk away
I'll do everything to make you stay
I've got to make a stand
Don't walk away
I'm not afraid
Don't walk away...

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait

You wake up wired and draw on your makeup
And the city breathes
And the city jumps to life
Lately it seems
Your time is all used up
Chasing dreams
Of money and the good life

But there is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want

Bop 'til you drop
'Til you sit pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait

People say you're the lucky one
But you don't believe it
And you want to stop
And you want to take some time
To sus' out a feeling and look for a reason
And the flesh is weak
But the spirit is willing

'Cause there is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so, so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want

Bop 'til you drop
'Til you sit pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love won't, love won't wait

There is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up

Bop 'til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night

If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in

You are the moon
I am the sea
You pull me in and gaze on down at me
I was alone
I thought I was immune
The door can still be open wide

If I feel a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in
It's just the state of the heart
I wait in the dark
I the state I'm in

We get closer and closer
To falling out or falling in
I go over and over
But I can't change the state
This heart is in

If I seem a little strange
It's just the state of the heart
I'm waiting here for you
In the state I'm in
It's just the state of the heart
You know I wait in the dark
In the state I'm in
It 's the state of the heart
The state of the heart, oh
The state of the heart
The state of the heart, oh

Burning in his eye

Is the child that we are, hear it

And some will heed the cry
