Lyrics:

Well it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you

But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
Yeah I know all the games you play
I play them too

Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Yeah it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith
 I gotta have faith
Well I gotta have faith
 I gotta have faith

Babe, babe, baby
I know you're asking me to stay
You're saying please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
And maybe
You mean every word you say
I Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh well I reconsider
This foolish notion
Yeah I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more

I gotta have faith

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh well I reconsider
This foolish notion
Yeah I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something wait for something more

Because I gotta have faith

Lyrics:

That old black magic has me in its spell 
That old black magic that you weave so well 
Those icy fingers up and down my spine 
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine 

The same old tingle that I feel inside 
And when that elevator starts its ride 
Darlin', down and down I go, round and round I go 
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide 

I should stay away but what can I do 
I hear your name, and I'm aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire

Well you're the lover 
I have waited for 
The mate that fate had me created for 

And every time your lips meet mine 
Darling, down and down I go round and round I go 
In a spin, I'm loving the spin I'm in 
I'm under that old black magic called love 

Well you're the lover 
I have waited for 
The mate that fate had me created for 

And every time your lips meet mine 
Darling, down and down I go round and round I go 
In a spin, I'm loving the spin I'm in 
I'm under that old black magic called love 

Yeah, down and down I go round and round I go 
In a spin, I'm loving the spin I'm in 
I'm under that old black magic called love

Lyrics:

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that -
Oh no - they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off-key
The way you haunt my dreams
Oh no - they can't take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always,
Always keep the memory of...

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced until three
The way you've changed my life
Oh no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away 
No, they can't take that away 
No, they can't take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always,
Always keep the memory of...

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced until three
The way you've changed my life
Oh no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me 
No, they can't take that away from me

Lyrics:

Saying I love you
Is not the words that I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show 
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me has gotta be real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'cause I'd already know

More than words

Lyrics:

Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to the left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

Hey look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking

Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear me shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear me shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
