The Lyrics
She's from a world
Of popcorn and candy
Pony rides...

If I could tear down these walls that keep you and I apart
I know I could claim your heart and our perfect love will start
But girl you just won't approve of the things that I do
When all I do is for you but still you say it ain't cool if there's somebody else, he can't love you like me
And he says he'll treat you well, he can't treat you like me
And he's buying diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
And he's taking you all across the world, he can't trick you like me

Chorus
So why ain't you feelin' me, she's invincible
But I can do anything, she's invincible
Even when I beg and plead,...

"Man In The Mirror"

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna...

Chorus
Tell the angels no, I don't wanna leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's a chance I'll take
Baby I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe I'll stay
Heaven can wait
You're beautiful

Each moment spent with you is simply wonderful
This love I have for you girl it's incredible
And I don't know what I'd do, if I can't be with you
The world could not go on so every night I pray
If the Lord should come for me before I wake
I wouldn't wanna go if I can't see your face, can't...

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear...

There's a steam beat
And it's comin' after you
You can take it
If you only let your feelings through

So D.J. spin the sounds
There ain't no way that you're gonna
Let us down
Gonna dance, gonna burn this disco out

Groove all night
Keep the boogie alright
Get that sound
Everybody just get on down

Got a hot foot
Better freak across the floor
Join the party
And we'll keep you movin', that's for sure

So D.J. spin the sounds
There ain't no way that you're gonna
Sit us down
Gonna dance 'til we burn this disco out

Groove all night (Groove on)
Keep the boogie alright
Get that sound
Everybody just get on down

Once you get the...

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somthin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
It's too high to get over
(Yeah, yeah)
It's too low to get under
(Yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle
(Yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder
(Yeah, yeah)
It's too high to get over
(Yeah, yeah)
It's too low to get under
(Yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle
(Yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder
(Yeah, yeah)

I took my baby to the doctor
With a fever, but nothin' that he found
By the time this hit the street
They said she had a breakdown
Someone's always tryin' to start my baby...

It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry
You got me fallin' in love, got me fallin' in love
(Cry, cry, cryin', cryin')

You're not like anybody I ever knew
But that don't mean I don't know where we are
And though I find myself attracted to you
This time I'm trying not to go too far 'cause

No matter how it starts it ends the same
Someone's always doning someone more
Trading in the passion for that taste of pain
It's only gonna heppen again

It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry cry cry
It's the fallin' in love...

When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can't hang with the feelin'
Then there ain't no room for you in this part of town
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall (Life ain't so bad at all)
Live life off the wall (Live your life off the wall)
Live it off the wall

You can shout out all you want to
'Cause there ain't no sin in folks all getting loud...
