Roxette - Sleeping Single Lyrics

Roxette - Sleeping Single Video

Words & music: Per Gessle

Vocals: Marie Fredriksson

 

Here's the house, here's the city and the stream

Here's the father to my dream

Here's the Lost and lonely look in your eyes

When you leave I will break down and cry

 

Sleeping single I will wait for you

Sleeping single 'till you change your mind

Sleeping single I will wait for you

'till time has gone by

 

I'll pay the price for all the love you poured like rain

Toujours l'amour over again

But the midnight chills are getting so rough

And the bed is big enough for both of us

 

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single I will wait for you

(Won't you change your mind)

Sleeping single 'till you change your mind

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single I will wait for you

'till time has gone by

 

Sleeping single I would die for you

(Won't you change your mind)

Sleeping single won't you change your way

(I will pray for you)

Sleeping single I will pray for you

To stay he-he-hey...he-he-hey...

 

'till time has gone by, has gone by

 

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single I will wait for you

(Won't you change your mind)

Sleeping single won't you change your mind

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single I will wait for you

'till time has gone by

 

Hey, baby I would die for you

(Won't you change your mind)

Sleeping single won't you, won't you change your way

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single I will pray for you

To stay he-he-hey...he-he-hey...

Won't you change your mind

Oh baby, oh oh

 

From album Look Sharp! (1988)

Roxette - Spending My Time Lyrics

Roxette - Spending My Time Video

What's the time, seems it's already morning

I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue

The TV's on but the only thing showing is a picture of you

 

Oh I get up and make myself some coffee

I try to read a bit, but the story is too thin

I thank the Lord above that you're not here to see me

In this shape I'm in

 

Spending my time

Watching the days go by

Feeling so small, I stare at the wall

Hoping that you think of me too

I'm spending my time

 

I try to call but I don't know what to tell you

I leave a kiss on your answering machine

Oh help me please is there someone who can make me

Wake up from this dream?

 

Spending my time

Watching the days go by

Feeling so small, I stare at the wall

Hoping that you are missing me too

 

I'm spending my time

Watching the sun go down

I fall asleep to the sound

Of tears of a clown

A prayer gone blind

I'm spending my time

 

My friends keep telling me hey life will go on

Time will make sure I'll get over you ooh

This silly game of love you play, you win only to lose

 

I'm spending my time

Watching the days go by

Feeling so small, I stare at the wall

Hoping that you think of me too

 

I'm spending my time

Watching the sun go down

I fall asleep to the sound

Of tears of a clown

A prayer gone blind

I'm spending my time

 

I'm spending my time...

Roxette - I Don't Want To Get Hurt Lyrics

Roxette - I Don't Want To Get Hurt Video

In everything I see you appear with me, how come? How come?

And everything I do involves you too. We are like one.

In my life there has been so many changes

And I don't want to be left out in the rain.

I don't want to get hurt, I've done my time.

All I want from you is to tell the truth.

I don't want to get hurt no more this time.

I don't want to go blind and find

It's falling apart all the time.

 

In the middle of a dream you are there for me, your face, your lips.

But there's no way you can tell cos I hide it really well, so well.

In my life there has been loving and lying

And I don't need another reason to cry.

I don't want to get hurt...

 

I'm falling apart one more time

 

Bridge

 

I don't want to get hurt, I've done my time.

All I want from you is to tell the truth.

I don't want to get hurt no more this time.

I don't want to go blind and find

It's falling apart all the time.

Roxette - Drowning In You Lyrics

Roxette - Drowning In You Video

Lead me to the river of love

Pour a little water and wash my pain away

Leave me in the ocean of joy

Water from below I can feel your glow running through

You know that I do I'm drowning in you

 

Take me to the tide of your heart

Take me to the shore, babe and hold me close to you

Leave me when the sky's getting dark

Water from behind I can feel a fine line from you

You know that I do I'm drowning in you

 

Say hello, there's no goodbye

If you can't read between the lines

 

Found a love that I can't hide oh I've been drowning in your eyes

Honey, honey, honey yea!

 

Lead me to the gate of your dreams

Put me on a ship that will sail the lovers' seas

Water from the brooks and the streams

Water in my face I can taste the ocean of you

You know that I do I'm drowning in you

 

Say hello...

 

It's the ocean of you

You know that's it's true I'm drowning in you

Roxette - I'm Sorry Lyrics

Roxette - I'm Sorry Video

The first time we met time stood still

You left me breathless

Suddenly spechless

Within the hour we were one

Two total strangers kissing the moonlight

 

Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go

I'm really sorry it had to die

I'm really sorry I made you cry

Cry

 

We fell in love between the nights

Of too many lovers and too many teardrops

And fate won't resist some satin sheets

I was so helpless

Totally ruthless

 

Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go

I'm really sorry you're hurt inside

I'm really sorry I made you cry

Cry, cry

 

Love is lifting you up and draggin' you down

Makes you go round and round and round

Time makes a stop then it's all gone

Funny how memories keep lingering on

 

Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go

I'm really sorry it had to die

I'm really sorry I made you cry

 

Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go

I'm really sorry you're hurt inside

I'm really sorry I made you cry

Cry, cry
