Xanadu Soundtrack Album Lyrics

Forget about the blues tonight
Sweet thing
Forget about the rules tonight
Sweet thing
I wanna dance with you
Until the sun comes creepin' through
I wanna dance with you
I won't stop pleasin' you
Ah......

Honey for awhile
Give a girl a chance to show some style
If you got no love to spare
Tell me lies
I don't care
You better believe that I
I know wome moves that we've got to try
There is nothing I would rather do

Forget about the blues tonight
Sweet thing
Forget about the rules tonight
Sweet thing
I wanna dance with you
Until the sun comes creepin' through
I wanna dance with you
I won't stop pleasin' you
Ah......

[Rock:]
Lover I want to let you know
I won't take a back seat
Ain't willin' to let you go
I won't take a back seat
Don't wanna hear what you want
It's gotta be all my way
I'm makin' sure you stay to see
I'm really a selfish man
I've gotta get right to it
And lover tonight I'm thinkin' of me

Lover I won't take a back seat tonight
Ooo......
Lover gettin' on my two feet tonight
Ooo......
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do

Can't let anyone get to you
I won't take a back seat
Let me show you what I can do
I won't take a back seat
It ain't funny to fool with me
I'd be a bad loser
You're gettin' me mad using me
You tried puttin' a spell on me
'Cos I had a strange feelin'
You'd better get down to healin' me

Lover I won't take a back seat tonight
Ooo......
Lover gettin' on my two feet tonight
Ooo......
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do

But how can our love succeed
A miracle is what we need
And so I appeal to you

Keep me suspended in time with you
Don't let this moment die
I get a feeling when I'm with you
None of the rules apply
But I know for certain
Goodbye is a crime
So love if you need me
Suspend me in time

Wasted the time away
Holding your love at bay
Now I can't last a day without you
Your smile is a thrill to see
Your eyes hold me tenderly
They'll shine in my memory forever

Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos I'll never be far away

On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My heart's aflame
I feel the same
I'd fall apart dear if you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart dear that nobody else could mend

Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos I'll never be far away

I'm alive - and the dawn breaks across the sky
I'm alive - and the sun rises up so high
Lost in another world (far away), never another word (till today)
But what can I say? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

(Instrumental break)

Suddenly came the dawn (from the night), suddenly I was born (into light)
How can it be real? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

(Instrumental break)

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie

I see the autumn rain, falling on my window pane
I hear you say goodbye, I see a tear in your eye

Chorus:
It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie
Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

I see you slip away, into another day
There's no-one else around, I watch the sun go down

chorus

(Instrumental break)

I take the fall

I see you in a dream, you turn and start to go
I call to you once more, guess that I'm takin' the fall

chorus

Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

I got a message on the radio, but where it came from I don't really know
And I heard these voices calling all over the world

Chorus:
All over the world, everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight

Everybody walkin' down the street, everybody movin' to the beat
They're gonna get hot down in the U.S.A. (New York, Detroit, L.A.)

We're gonna take a trip across the sea, everybody come along with me
We're gonna hit the night down in gay Pareee

chorus

(Instrumental break)

London, Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Rio, Hong Kong, Tokyo
L.A., New York, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo, Shard End and

chorus

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what I just heard
Everybody walkin' down the street, I know a place where we all can meet
Everybody gonna have a good time, everybody will shine till the daylight

chorus

All over the world, everybody got the word (repeats 3x)
