From Passionworks (1983) by Heart

How Can I Refuse

Wake me up with laughter
Wrap me in your arms
This ain't no morning after
Never been so warm
It didn't take so long
For us to feel this way
Can a good thing last
Longer than a day?
Where do we take it now
Now that we caught fire?
Will something greater grow
Out of this desire?
Should I drop my guard
At the risk of being used?
But the way you do those things to me
How can I refuse?
I could get addicted
To your energy
The way you take me over
Pulling on me
Our hearts beat together
Our timing is the same
Can I trust my feelings
Save myself the pain?
Where do we take it now
Now that we caught fire?
Will something greater grow
Out of this desire?
Should I drop my guard
At the risk of being used?
But the way you do those things to me
How can I refuse?
We could share the mystery
Spare ourselves the misery
Discover it again every day
We could take love all the way
Where do we take it now
Now that we caught fire?
Will something greater grow
Out of this desire?
Should I drop my guard
At the risk of being used?
But the way you do those things to me
How can I refuse?

Blue Guitar

Young girl feeling pretty wild
Young girl in the band
Rolling into another town
Living the best they can

Across the street, a music store
She gotta find a brand new axe
And there he was, that blue guitar
He was staring her right back
Staring her right back

She held him close and he felt just fine
He warmed her up - she know he was just right
Together they cut right through the night

She made herself a local scene
And man that axe
Could sing and scream
Crying for that big breakthrough
Only small time local news

Just about to pack it in
Mr. Money Biz rolled in
Paid the way - broke the band
A living one night stand
A living one night stand

She held him close and he felt just fine
He warmed her up - she know he was just right
Together they cut right through the night
Like touching fire
Like holding desire
Like touching fire
Like holding desire

Take this platinum, take this gold
Burn too hot, it turns you cold
Nothin' left to hold on to
But that guitar was always true
That man was always true

She held him close and he felt just fine
He warmed her up - she know he was just right
Together they cut right through the night
Like touching fire
Like holding desire
Like touching fire
Like holding desire

Johnny Moon

Johnny Moon
Dreams in class
Answers the question before it's asked
You can see Johnny but he's not here
Nobody saw Johnny disappear
Mother says his mama's too easy
Letting him come and go as he pleases
Walls and windows won't do it
Lock the door
Johnny goes right through it
It's so hard to get his attention
When he's out there in another dimension
Johnny I wanna follow you outside
I wanna feel that high
It's so hard to get his attention
When he's out there in another dimension
Johnny, I wanna follow you outside
I wanna feel that high
Johnny, you, I can pretend with
You're only one I can really bend with
Take me 'cross the river Styx
Fill my eyes with fire tricks
Anything you got up your sleeve
Anything you tell me, Johnny, I'll believe
It's so hard to get your attention
When you're out there in another dimension
Johnny, I wanna follow you outside
I wanna feel that high

Sleep Alone

Say so long baby
Turn around
Loneliness hits you
Emptiness closes you down
Alone in his car
You think of his name
Took part of you with him
It won't be the same
You love to relive
The love that he gives
You love to recall
The rush of it all
He woos you so sweet
Then kicks on the heat
You're willing, you're hot
Give him all that you got
Lonely woman gets so cold
With no loverboy to hold
One more night she's on her own
Nobody meant to sleep alone
You're waiting too hard, counting the days
Till he comes home to lift you out of this haze
You dream all day, climb the walls all night
No satisfaction till he makes it right
So hard to kick
The memory addicting you
So hard to lick
The romance afflicting you
You love to relive the love that he gives
You love to recall the rush of it all
Lonely woman gets so cold
With no loverboy to hold
One more night she's on her own
Nobody meant to sleep alone

Together Now

Deep inside this city night
There's only you and me
I can only hear your voice
I am all you see
Baby, I love you
Born to be mine
I'lI say forever
You say it all the time
Take it like a vow
We're together now
Together now, together now
Together now, together now
In this world so fast, nothing lasts
But I can feel it, we're gonna make it
Together
Now you're winning in big town trade
Lose it once, try to get saved
Talk gets cheap, money gets made
In too deep, time steals away
I call you up, get you on the line
Wanna get back to where we were that time
Wanna get you out, out of this place
Hold you close, just to see your face
Together now, together now
Together now, together now
Together now, together now
Together now, together now
Together now, together now

Allies (Cain)

In troubled times
It's hard to get straight answers
Between the lines
That border wrong or right
The homeland cries
It struggles with confusion
But this feelin' still remains
Like shelter from the rain

We live of faith
In the hands of those who guide us
And tear the page
On the fear we left behind
We set the pace
For every born survivor
Don't turn the other way
When I need to hear you say

Allies with our backs against the wall
I will answer when you call
And take on the odds
For what we believe is true
Allies in a world of too much choice
I only need your voice
To tell me you care
I'll be anywhere for you, allies

We search our hearts
To justify the reason
And draw the line
To meet somewhere halfway
If faith is blind
Through darkness it will guide us
'Cause the spirit still remains
With the keepers of the flame

Allies with our backs against the wall
I will answer when you call
And take on the odds
For what we believe is true
Allies in a world of too much choice
I only need your voice
To tell me you care
I'll be anywhere for you, allies

Allies with our backs against the wall
I will answer when you call
And take on the odds
For what we believe is true
Allies in a world of too much choice
I only need your voice
To tell me you care
I'll be anywhere for you, allies

Beat By Jealousy

Who was with you - where you been?
Baby it can't be this again
I can't cool it 'cos I can't win it with you

Words like punches - things we said
Under the belt and in the head
Down for the count in a cold cold bed
Beat by jealousy

Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free
Jealousy

You won't hear what I imply
What you say - I won't buy
You deny but you lie
Jealousy

Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free
Jealousy

Down suspicious - torn in doubt
Dirty vicious - knock me out
Danger, danger - stakes are high
Hook the blow between the eyes
Every round - we lose more ground
Jealousy

Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free
Jealousy

Heavy Heart

Heavy heart think of yesterday
And you're torn apart
Thinking of the ways it was easier to smile
More than today love grew wild
Heavy heart like a perfect stranger
You make it hard
Taking all the blame - still you hear the sound
Calling your name - troubles coming down
Too heavy

Turn it around
It's pressing me down
Heavy heart
This time I find
It weighs on my mind
Heavy heart

It's just like you to take it all so far
Then you feel abused and wonder who you are
Everything you've done - anything you start
Can turn and run
Ain't it true - it's only just a stage
Gotta give it room - start an empty page
Get back in the game - but do it your way
You don't have to play so heavy

Turn it around
It's pressing me down
Heavy heart
This time I find
It weighs on my mind
Heavy heart

When your heart is strong it leads you on
But when it breaks you
It devastates you for so long
Turn it around
It's pressing me down
Heavy heart
This time I find
It weighs on my mind
Heavy heart

Turn it around
It's pressing me down
Heavy heart
This time I find
It weighs on my mind
Heavy heart

Love Mistake

K.C.
Take another sip-o-wine
You gotta get her off your mind
You can talk about your heartbreak to me
Ok, K.C. I wish it could be easy
Just another lesson of the heart
K.C.
We were feelin' out of place
So we made our own escape
In that New York cafe place to be
Outsider, traveler you and me
We were laughing about it
Kept us out of reach
I won't forget that night
I won't forget that light
Through the window and the lace
Making patterns on your face
Exposed with all your pain
I know it hurts the worst
That very first love mistake
You said we'll still be sitting
Here again someday,
Laughing at ourselves this way
After time has healed and made it right
We'll still be looking in each other's eyes
And through it all
It's friends who will survive
I won't forget that night
I won't forget that light
Through the window and the lace
Making patterns on your face
Exposed with pain
I know it hurts the worst
That very first love mistake
I won't forget that night
I won't forge that light
Through the window and the lace
Making patterns on your face
Exposed with all your pain
I know it hurts the worst
That very first love mistake

Language of Love

I been trying a long long time
To write a love letter, perfect lines
What I want to say is hard to find
No cliches or tired rhymes
But words turn on me
Hard as I try
It's your look of love
I can't describe
I'll use the language of love
You'll understand what I say
Words are never enough
The language of love is the only way
Bad bad heartaches
When I'm alone
Fighting with feelings
I've never known
Scared and lonely
Half gone mad
'Cos I need what I just can't have
I write a love letter like a kiss in the night
I wanna tell it to you, just right
I'll use the language of love
You'll understand what I say
Words are never enough
The language of love is the only way
I need love so very bad
You're the best I ever had
I need to say I need to show
In the way only lovers know
I'll use the language of love
You'll understand what I say
Words are never enough
The language of love is the only way
I'll use the language of love
You'll understand what I say
Words are never enough
The language of love is the only way

Ambush

You're distant honey - Mr. Cool
You lock up your feelings - nobody's fool
You're facing the world
With your fist clenched tight
Tough guy - tough guy facing the fight
Don't forget to remember
She's coming up in back
Even you surrender
Surrender to her sweet attack

Ambush - ambush come from behind
Ambush - ambush capture your mind
Ambush - ambush I'm in disguise
Ambush - ambush take you by surprise

When you don't expect it
That's when she appear
Whisper your fancy - licking your ear
Put her arms around you - give a little squeeze
One little taste bring you to your knees
The way she touch - is almost too much
When she lay - lay that claim
You beg - begging her name

Ambush - ambush come from behind
Ambush - ambush capture your mind
Ambush - ambush I'm in disguise
Ambush - ambush take you by surprise

I'm telling you right up front
You're the prisoner
She do what she want
Ambush - ambush come from behind
Ambush - ambush capture your mind
Ambush - ambush I'm in disguise
Ambush - ambush take you by surprise
Ambush - ambush I'm in disguise
Ambush - ambush take you by surprise
