Side one


1. Soldier of Love

So you heard that I’m a rebel
with a heart made of stone.
I got a restless spirit
that nobody can own.
If a picture tells a story
won’t you listen to mine,
I’m searching for the answer
but it’s so hard to find.
You’ll see much deeper
when you read between the lines,
’cause there’s a fire
burning in my eye.

Like a thief in the night,
who can’t get enough,
I am willing to fight,
’cause I’m a soldier of love.
Like a shot in the dark
when the going gets rough,
It’s a state of the heart
when you’re a soldier of love.

I’m willing to fight.

Love can be so heartless
when you turn out the lights,
a mutual surrender
in the heat of the night.
Life’s an empty picture
when you’re living alone,
well, maybe that’s the reason
every heart needs a home.
Each time I fall down,
I get on my feet again.
I’m gonna win this battle
in the end.

Like a thief in the night,
who can’t get enough,
I am willing to fight,
’cause I’m a soldier of love.
Like a shot in the dark
when the going gets rough,
it’s a state of the heart
when you’re a soldier of love.

You’ll see much deeper
when you read between the lines,
’cause there’s a fire
burning in my eye.

Like a thief in the night
who can’t get enough,
I am willing to fight,
’cause I’m a soldier of love.
Like a shot in the dark
when the going gets rough,
it’s a state of the heart
when you’re a soldier of love.

Sha la la la la la
when the going gets rough,
Sha la la la la la
I’m a soldier of love.
Sha la la la la la
when the going gets rough,
Sha la la la la la
I’m a soldier of love.

Like a thief in the night
who can’t get enough,
I am willing to fight,
’cause I’m a soldier of love.
Like a shot in the dark
when the going gets rough,
it’s a state of the heart
when you’re a soldier of love.

2. If I’ts Love That You Want

You say you’re looking for someone,
you’re tired of living on the run.
But do you really know
what you’re hoping to find
Well I’m not gonna lie to you,
and promise all your dreams’ll
come true.
And give you everything
that money can buy
but I want you to know

If it’s love that you want
I can help you, girl.
If it’s love that you need,
I can change your world.
If it’s love that you want,
how can I make you see,
Oh baby, baby,
you can count on me.

I may not drive a fancy car,
or be a famous movie star.
But all of that can
fade in the morning light.
’Cause when you’re
breaking all the rules,
it can leave you feeling like a fool.
But maybe it can get
you through the night,
so I got to let you know

If it’s love that you want,
I can help you, girl.
If it’s love that you need,
I think I can change your world.
If it’s love that you want,
how can I make you see,
Oh baby, baby, you can count on me.

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
If it’s love that you want,
got to make you believe,
baby, baby, you can count on me.

Oh, yeah.
Want to be there.
Want to be there.
Anytime, I’ll be around.
I’ll be there for you.

If it’s love that you want,
if it’s love that you need,
if it’s love that you want,
Oh baby, baby, you can count on me.

3. Sacred Emotion

There’s a candle
I keep in my window,
and it’s burning brighter tonight.
Through the storm
and the winds of change,
I’ll be sure that you
can see the light.
I never wandered,
I never gave up,
’cause a true heart
never goes astray.
Whatever road that you take
will lead you back to me,
’cause our love is too
strong to slip away.

Like a river flowing
into the ocean,
I can feel you coming
back to me.
(bring it on back)
’Cause our love is
like a sacred emotion,
and it’s burning bright
for the whole world to see.

It won’t be long
before I hear
that knock on my door,
that telephone call.
And if your journey
takes you far away,
I’ll still catch you
when you fall.
Love’s like a wheel,
turning ’round and round,
the feeling fades but never dies.
There’ll never be any question
or doubt in my mind,
’cause the answer’s right there,
in your eyes.

Like a river flowing
into the ocean,
I can feel you coming
back to me.
(bring it on back)
’Cause our love is
like a sacred emotion,
and it’s burning bright
for the whole world to see.
Bring it on back to me.

Whatever road that you take
will lead you back to me
’cause our love is too
strong to slip away.

Like a river flowing
into the ocean,
I can feel you coming
back to me.
(bring it on back)
’Cause our love is
like a sacred emotion,
and it’s burning bright
for the whole world to see.
I feel you come back to me.

4. Inner Rhythm

I never worked this hard for love.
Where is the one I’m dreaming of
I want to be dancing
to the inner rhythm
tuned in to the heart and mind.
I want to be dancing
to the inner rhythm
One love of my own design.

Somewhere, somehow,
someone, one day.
Two hands, two hearts,
one voice will say

We’re gonna be dancing
to the inner rhythm,
tuned in to the heart and mind.
We’re gonna be dancing
to the inner rhythm,
one love of our own design.

5. Faces In The Mirror

Faces in the mirror,
looking back at me,
am I getting nearer
of where I want to be
Faces in the mirror,
so much more to see.
Answer all my questions,
solve the mystery.

Every day, I wake up to confusion.
Storms are raging in my mind
(in my mind). Is it real, or is it an illusion
The truth can be so hard to find.

Sunshine only lasts just a minute.
Rain falls if you wait too long.
A dream grows
if you only believe it,
so I’m calling out to you

Faces in the mirror,
looking back at me,
am I getting nearer
of where I want to be
Faces in the mirror,
so much more to see.
Answer all my questions,
solve the mystery.

Winds have changed,
blowin’ in my direction.
Visions coming into view.
Now I’m free, no
searching for perfection.
There’s only one thing left to do.

Sunshine only lasts just a minute.
Rain falls if you wait too long.
A dream grows
if you only believe it.
So I’m calling out to you

Faces in the mirror,
looking back at me,
am I getting nearer
of where I want to be
Faces in the mirror,
so much more to see.
Answer all my questions,
solve the mystery.

Calling you.

Sunshine, it don’t last too long.
Rain falls, I’m calling out to you

Faces in the mirror,
looking back at me,
am I getting nearer
of where I want to be?
Faces in the mirror,
so much more to see.
Answer all my questions,
solve the mystery.

Faces in the mirror,
all the faces.

I see the answer in my mind
to all the mysteries.
No more searching,
no more wondering.

Side Two



1. My Secret Touch

I wanted you from
the first time I saw you,
I had that look in my eye.
It was that gentle female persuasion
that left me wanting you mine.

If it’s a test of innocence,
you’d be the first to win.
Take me in your confidence,
let my loving in.

Can you keep it secret, secret.
Keep it secret,
you’ll know to much.
It’s my deepest secret,
keep it secret,
my secret touch.

Now that you’ve got me
right where I want to be,
don’t ever let me down.
’Cause I know it’s a scandal,
touchy to handle,
if this gets around.

Given the opportunity,
would you be forced to sell
Knowing what you could do to me,
would you touch and tell

Can you keep it secret, secret.
Keep it secret,
you know too much.
It’s my deepest secret.
Keep it secret, my secret touch.

Oh baby, keep our love a mystery,
’cause they might find out
what you do to me.

Tell nobody ’bout our secret,
tell nobody ’bout our love.
Tell nobody ’bout our secret,
tell nobody ’bout our love.

You know me too well.
Can you keep it secret, secret.
Keep it secret, you know too much.
It’s my deepest secret.
Keep it secret, my secret touch.

Keep our love a mystery.
Just for you and me.
Don’t tell nobody.

2. I’ll Be Good To You

It’s the coldest place on earth
here in my heart tonight.
With everything I’m worth,
I still want you.

I know words can never change
the way that you feel about me now,
but I’ve just got to say
I still love you.

’Cause every night I lie awake
going back in time.
Playing it over and
over and over again
I must have been out of my mind.

Oh, baby, love me
like you used to do.
I’ll do anything
that you want me to.
Believe me, I’ll be good to you.

There’s a hole in my heart
only you can fill.
One more chance,
baby, say you will.
I’ll be good to you.

It’s a mystery to me
just who it was that let you go.
I can’t believe I did it,
’cause I still want you.

Baby, love me like
you used to do.
I’ll do anything
that you want me to.
Believe me, I’ll be good to you.

Remember me, baby,
remember my kiss.
No one out there’s
gonna love you like this.
I’ll be good to you.

I’m going in circles,
stuck like a broken record,
going around and around.
Playing it over and over
and over again,
oh, don’t let me down.

The day I let you go
broke my heart in two.
I need you back in my life again,
I’m calling out to you.

Baby, love me like you used to do.
I’ll do anything that you want me to.
Believe me, I’ll be good to you.
Remember me, baby,
remember my kiss.
No one out there is
gonna love you like this.
I’ll be good to you,
so good, I’ll be good to you.

3. Groove

My life can be so cool,
my life can be so cruel.
(So many servicing lips)
They like to touch me
(Giving all)
but only when no one’s around.
(Don’t do it)
They like to mold me
(Through it all)
One thing I’ve learned is

Move with all my might,
groove with all I got.
Move with all my might,
groove with all I got.

Don’t you know that your world,
as cool as can be.
Your world, full of hypocrisy.
With all of my supposed friends,
saying I can do no wrong
putting their money
where their mouth is
took just a little too long.

(So many servicing lips)
They like to touch me,
(Giving all)
but only when no one’s around.
(Don’t do it)
They like to mold me
(Through it all)
One thing I’ve learned is...

Move with all my might,
groove with all I got.
Move with all my might,
groove with all I got.

(Some people never win)
Some never lose
(Those are the ones who die)
Nothing to prove
(Life is a battle)
for those who try.
You’ve got to win the war inside you.

(So many servicing lips)
They like to touch me
(Giving all)
but only when no one’s around.
(Don’t do it)
They like to mold me
(Through it all)
One thing I’ve learned is...

I move with all my might,
groove with all I got.
Move with all my might,
groove with all I got.

4. Only Heaven Knows

I used to dream, make believe
everything so real.
Holding future life,
that’s when we began.
You helped me understand.
There’s a life I don’t know,
and mine I can’t let go,
I couldn’t if I tried, so I’m

Living through vicarious eyes
for times I’ve wanted to know.
You’re a mirror of a life
That only Heaven knows,
only Heaven knows.

I close my eyes to see behind
so many things so grey.
I can’t wait to relive the past,
of all the times in my life
that came close to your life
but not quite the same.
Till then I’m...

Living through vicarious eyes
of times I’ve wanted to know.
You’re a mirror of a life
that only Heaven knows.

Feel the strength within your soul.
I gave you all that you need.
So when you leave me,
don’t forget me,
’cause someday, you’ll need these eyes,
when there’s times of unknown.
’Cause there’s another side of me
that you’ll want to know.

And when you see that other side,
when we’re together again,
we’ll both learn through the eyes
that only Heaven knows.

5. Hold On

Hold on to what we’ve got,
don’t let it go
because we’ve got alot.
Hold on to what we’ve got
never give up,
don’t let this love walk out on you.

Sometimes love can bring you down,
you just don’t know
what’s wrong from right.
It gets tough to turn around,
and maybe it’s not worth the fight.
Well think twice
before you throw it away,
just open your heart
to what I’ve got to say.

Hold on to what we’ve got,
don’t let it go because we’ve got alot.
Hold on to what we’ve got,
never give up, don’t let this love walk out on you.

When love calls your name,
you can’t find a place to hide.
Your heart falls, you feel the pain,
it’s tearing you up inside.
There’s no reason to feel this way,
don’t give up on love
because it’s here to stay.

Hold on to what we’ve got,
don’t let it go
because we’ve got alot.
Hold on to what we’ve got,
never give up,
don’t let this love
walk out on you.

Hold on to what we’ve got,
don’t let it go
because we’ve got alot.
Hold on to what we’ve got,
never give up,
don’t let this love
walk out on you.

If you’ve got someone
who loves you,
someone who understands,
hold on to love,
don’t let it slip right
through your hands.
Everybody needs a lover,
someone to call their own,
you know it’s worth the fight,
so you’ve got to hold on.

Think twice before
you throw it away,
just open your heart
to what I’ve got to say.

Hold on to what we’ve got,
don’t let it go
because we’ve got alot.
Hold on to what we’ve got,
never give up,
don’t let this love
walk out on you.
