ROCK SOLID


MAKE ME A PROMISE STAYS UNBROKEN
 LITTLE WHITE LIES REMAIN UNSPOKEN 
SEND ME A PRAYER WON'T GO UNANSWERED
 I'M SO TIRED OF TAKIN' CHANCES 
ROCK SOLID YEAH TAKE IT TAKE IT FROM ME 
ROCK SOLID IT'S GOTTA BE

GIVE ME A WISH THAT WILL COME TRUE 
FALLIN' STARS THEY DON'T COME THROUGH
 HOLD OUT A HOPE THAT IS FULFILLED
 WITHOUT FEAR OF TEARS SPILLED
 ROCK SOLID FOUNDATION TO BUILD UPON 
YEAH ROCK SOLID FROM NOW ON

THE STARS SWIRLIN' AROUND IN THE SKY
 SHININ' FOR EVERYONE ELSE BUT ME 
YEAH THE STARS SWIRLIN' AROUND IN THE SKY
 ARE SHININ' FOR EVERYONE BUT ME
 I'M STARTIN' TO WONDER BEGINNIN' TO BELIEVE 
COULD IT BE A CONSPIRACY
OH ROCK SOLID
ROCK SOLID FOUNDATION TO BUILD UPON

WRITE ME A DREAM YEAH I CAN CLING TO 
FAIRY TALES THEY JUST DON'T RING TRUE 
SHOW ME A HEART WON'T TURN COLD 
GOOD LOVE GONE BAD IS GETTIN' KINDA OLD

GIVE ME A WISH 
OH BABY ROCK SOLID TAKE IT FROM ME 
ROCK SOLID IS HOW IT'S GOT TO BE

ROCK SOLID TAKE IT FROM ME

ROCK SOLID HOW IT'S GONNA BE
 ROCK SOLID FOUNDATION FOR ME TO BUILD UPON

My Heart Is Set On You

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND


IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND

YOU AN' I WE SCREAM AN' SHOUT
'TIL WE FORGET WHAT THE FIGHT IS ALL ABOUT
IT'S SO STRANGE WHENEVER WE ARE NEAR
YOU DON'T EVER LISTEN I CAN'T EVEN HEAR

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
KEEP IT TURNIN'
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
KEEP THE LOVE-LIGHT BURNIN'

ME AN' YOU WE CRY AND CURSE
WE IGNORE WHAT REALLY MATTERS MOST
IT'S SO STRANGE WHENEVER WE DISAGREE
YOU DON'T EVEN LOOK I CAN'T EVER SEE

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
KEEP IT TURNIN'
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
KEEP THE LOVE-LIGHT BURNIN'

WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO TO EACH OTHER
WHEN WE CAN RECAPTURE THE MOMENT AN' YET
BE THOSE SAME TWO LOVERS
IF WE REKINDLE THE FIRE THAT BURNED WHEN WE FIRST MET

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
KEEP IT TURNIN'
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
KEEP THE LOVE-LIGHT BURNIN'

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
KEEP IT TURNIN'
IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND WHY IS IT SLOWIN' DOWN
KEEP THE LOVE-LIGHT BURNIN'

IF LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
KEEP IT TURNIN'
