Material Girl

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me I think they're O.K. If they don't give me proper credit I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead But they can't see the light, that's right 'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

Chorus:

Living in a material world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material world And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance That's all right with me If they can't raise my interest then I Have to let them be

Some boys try and some boys lie but I don't let them play Only boys who save their pennies Make my rainy day, 'cause they are

(chorus)

Living in a material world [material] Living in a material world (repeat)

Boys may come and boys may go And that's all right you see Experience has made me rich And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's

(chorus)

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world [material] Living in a material world (repeat and fade)


Like A Virgin

I made it through the wilderness Somehow I made it through Didn't know how lost I was Until I found you

I was beat incomplete I'd been had, I was sad and blue But you made me feel Yeah, you made me feel Shiny and new

Chorus:

Like a virgin Touched for the very first time Like a virgin When your heart beats (after first time, "With your heartbeat") Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy My fear is fading fast Been saving it all for you 'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine Make me strong, yeah you make me bold Oh your love thawed out Yeah, your love thawed out What was scared and cold

(chorus)

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You're so fine and you're mine I'll be yours 'till the end of time 'Cause you made me feel Yeah, you made me feel I've nothing to hide

(chorus)

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh Like a virgin Feels so good inside When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Ooh, baby Can't you hear my heart beat For the very first time?


Crazy For You

Swaying room as the music starts Strangers making the most of the dark Two by two their bodies become one

I see you through the smokey air Can't you feel the weight of my stare You're so close but still a world away What I'm dying to say, is that

Chorus:

I'm crazy for you Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted anyone like this It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss I'm crazy for you, crazy for you

Trying hard to control my heart I walk over to where you are Eye to eye we need no words at all

Slowly now we begin to move Every breath I'm deeper into you Soon we two are standing still in time If you read my mind, you'll see

(chorus)

It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you And you know it's true I'm crazy, crazy for you


Who's That Girl

Who's that girl, who's that girl

When you see her, say a prayer and kiss your heart goodbye She's trouble, in a word get closer to the fire Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside You're spinning round and round You can't get up, you try but you can't

Chorus:

Quien es esa nina, who's that girl Senorita, mas fina, who's that girl Quien es esa nina, who's that girl Senorita, mas fina, who's that girl

You try to avoid her, fate is in your hands She's smiling, an invitation to the dance Her heart is on the street, tu corazon es suyo Now you're falling at her feet You try to get away but you can't

(chorus)

Light up my life, so blind I can't see Light up my life, no one can help me now

Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside He's spinning round and round You can't get up, you try but you can't

Who's that girl Now, who's that girl Now, who's that girl Now, who's that girl

(chorus)


Cherish

So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game Before I start this dance I take a chance in telling you I want more than just romance You are my destiny, I can't let go baby can't you see Cupid please take your aim at me

Chorus:

Cherish the thought Of always having you here by my side (oh baby I) Cherish the joy You keep bringing it into my life (I'm always singing it) Cherish your strength You got the power to make me feel good (and baby I) Perish the thought Of ever leaving, I never would

I was never satisfied with casual encounters I can't hide my need for two hearts that bleed with burning love That's the way it's got to be Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet So don't underestimate my point of view

(chorus)

Who? You! Can't get away I won't let you Who? You! I could never forget to Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love

Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet So don't underestimate my point of view

Who? You! Can't get away I won't let you Who? You! I could never forget to Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love

(chorus)

Give me faith give me joy, my boy I will always cherish you


Spanish Eyes

I know for sure his heart is here with me Though I wish him back, I know he cannot see My hands trembling, I know he hears me sing

Chorus:

I light this candle and watch it throw Tears on my pillow And if there is a Christ, he'll come tonight To pray for Spanish eyes And if I have nothing left to show Tears on my pillow What kind of life is this if God exists Then help me pray for Spanish eyes

He had to fight like all the rest In the barrio all the streets are paved with fear I don't understand; at least he was a man

(chorus)

Intermediate:

How many lives will they have to take? How much heartache? How many suns will they have to burn? Spanish eyes When will they ever learn?

You were not the Maravilla in our minds We were proud to fight but we cannot win this blind Stand your guns against the wall Who's next in line to fall

(chorus)

(Spoken:) Tus lagrimas de tristeza \ Your tears of sadness No me dejan olvidarte \ Will not let me forget you

(intermediate)


Rain

I feel it, it's coming

Chorus:

Rain, feel it on my finger tips Hear it on my window pane Your love's coming down like Rain, wash away my sorrow Take away my pain Your love's coming down like rain

When your lips are burning mine And you take the time to tell me how you feel When you listen to my words And I know you've heard, I know it's real Rain is what this thunder brings For the first time I can hear my heart sing Call me a fool but I know I'm not I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top Till I feel your

(chorus)

When you looked into my eyes And you said goodbye could you see my tears When I turned the other way Did you hear me say I'd wait for all the dark clouds bursting in a perfect sky You promised me when you said goodbye That you'd return when the storm was done And now I'll wait for the light, I'll wait for the sun Till I feel your

(chorus)

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say, never go away

Waiting is the hardest thing [It's strange I feel like I've known you before] I tell myself that if I believe in you [And I want to understand you] In the dream of you [More and more] With all my heart and all my soul [When I'm with you] That by sheer force of will [I feel like a magical child] I will raise you from the ground [Everything strange] And without a sound you'll appear [Everything wild] And surrender to me, to love

Rain is what the thunder brings For the first time I can hear my heart sing Call me a fool but I know I'm not I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top Till I feel your

Rain, I feel it, it's coming Your love's coming down like (repeat)

(chorus)

Rain, I feel it, it's coming Your love's coming down like (repeat)

Rain


Secret Garden

In my secret garden, I'm looking for the perfect flower Waiting for my finest hour In my secret garden, I still believe after all I still believe and I fall You plant the seed and I'll watch it grow I wonder when I'll start to show I wonder if I'll ever know Where my place is Where my face is I know it's in here somewhere I just wish I knew the color of my hair I know the answer's hiding somewhere In my secret garden, there's

Chorus:

A petal that isn't torn A heart that will not harden A place that I can be born In my secret garden A rose without a thorn A lover without scorn

If I wait for the rain to kiss me and undress me Will I look like a fool, wet and a mess Will I still be thirsty Will I pass the test And if I look for the rainbow, will I see it Or will it pass right by 'Cause I'm not supposed to see 'Cause the blind are never free Even at my secret garden There's a chance that I could harden That's why I'll keep on looking, for

(chorus)

I still believe, I still believe 'Cause after all is said and done I'm still alive And the boots have come and trampled on me And I'm still alive 'Cause the sun has kissed me, and caressed me And I'm strong, and there's a chance That I will grow, this I know So I'm still looking for

(chorus, inserting "It's" before "In my secret garden")

Somewhere in fountain blue Lies my secret garden


Human Nature

(Spoken:) Express yourself, don't repress yourself (repeat 4 times)

Chorus:

And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry] It's human nature [it's human nature] And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry] I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me [it's human nature]

You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say You didn't want to see life through my eyes [Express yourself, don't repress yourself] You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room And silence me with bitterness and lies [Express yourself, don't repress yourself]

Did I say something wrong? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex [I musta been crazy] Did I stay too long? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind [What was I thinking]

(chorus)

You punished me for telling you my fantasies I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make [Express yourself, don't repress yourself] You took my words and made a trap for silly fools You held me down and tried to make me break [Express yourself, don't repress yourself]

Bedtime Story

Today is the last day that I'm using words They've gone out, lost their meaning Don't function anymore

Let's, let's, let's get unconscious honey Let's get unconscious honey

Today is the last day that I'm using words They've gone out, lost their meaning Don't function anymore

Traveling, leaving logic and reason Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness Traveling, leaving logic and reason Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness

Chorus:

Let's get unconscious honey Let's get unconscious Let's get unconscious honey Let's get unconscious

Words are useless, especically sentences They don't stand for anything How could they explain how I feel

Traveling, traveling, I'm traveling Traveling, traveling, leaving logic and reason Traveling, traveling, I'm gonna relax Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness

(chorus)

And inside we're all still wet Longing and yearning How can I explain how I feel?

(chorus)

Traveling, traveling (repeat twice) Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness

And all that you've ever learned Try to forget I'll never explain again


Take A Bow

Take a bow, the night is over This masquerade is getting older Light are low, the curtains down There's no one here [There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd] Say your lines but do you feel them Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around] Watching you, watching me, one lonely star [One lonely star you don't know who you are]

Chorus:

I've always been in love with you [always with you] I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true] You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say good-bye

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

Make them laugh, it comes so easy When you get to the part Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart] Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown [Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown] Wish you well, I cannot stay You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played] No more masquerade, you're one lonely star [One lonely star and you don't know who you are]

(chorus, repeat)

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

All the world is a stage [world is a stage] And everyone has their part [has their part] But how was I to know which way the story'd go How was I to know you'd break [You'd break, you'd break, you'd break] You'd break my heart

I've always been in love with you [I've always been in love with you] Guess you've always known You took my love for granted, why oh why The show is over, say good-bye

(chorus)

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye Say good-bye


This Used To Be My Playground

Chorus (first time without background vocals):

This used to be my playground [used to be] This used to be my childhood dream This used to be the place I ran to Whenever I was in need Of a friend Why did it have to end And why do they always say

Don't look back Keep your head held high Don't ask them why Because life is short And before you know You're feeling old And your heart is breaking Don't hold on to the past Well that's too much to ask

(Long and movie versions only:)

(chorus) Live and learn Well the years they flew And we never knew We were foolish then We would never tire And that little fire Is still alive in me It will never go away Can't say goodbye to yesterday [can't say goodbye]

(chorus)

No regrets But I wish that you Were here with me Well then there's hope yet I can see your face In our secret place You're not just a memory Say goodbye to yesterday [the dream] Those are words I'll never say [I'll never say]

This used to be my playground [used to be] This used to be our pride and joy This used to be the place we ran to That no one in the world could dare destroy

(Short and movie versions only:)

This used to be our playground [used to be] This used to be our childhood dream This used to be the place we ran to I wish you were standing here with me

(Movie version only:)

This used to be our playground [used to be] This used to be our great escape This used to be the place we ran to This used to be our secret hiding place

This used to be our playground [used to be] This used to be our childhood dream This used to be the place we ran to The best things in life are always free Wishing you were here with me


I'll Remember, Theme From "With Honors" (1994)

Mmmm, mmmm Say good-bye to not knowing when The truth in my whole life began Say good-bye to not knowing how to cry You taught me that

Chorus (first time substitute "strength" for "love" and "saved" for "changed"):

And I'll remember the love that you gave me Now that I'm standing on my own I'll remember the way that you changed me I'll remember

Inside I was a child That could not mend a broken wing Outside I looked for a way To teach my heart to sing

(chorus)

I learned to let go of the illusion that we can possess I learned to let go, I travel in stillness And I'll remember happiness I'll remember [I'll remember] Mmmmm... [I'll remember] Mmmmm...

(chorus) [I'll remember]

No I've never been afraid to cry Now I finally have a reason why I'll remember [I'll remember] (repeat 3 times, substituting "And" for "Now" the second and third times)


You'll See

You think that I can't live without your love You'll see, You think I can't go on another day. You think I have nothing Without you by my side, You'll see Somehow, some way

You think that I can never laugh again You'll see, You think that you destroyed my faith in love. You think after all you've done I'll never find my way back home, You'll see Somehow, someday

Chorus:

All by myself I don't need anyone at all I know I'll survive I know I'll stay alive, All on my own I don't need anyone this time It will be mine No one can take it from me You'll see

You think that you are strong, but you are weak You'll see, It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat. I have truth on my side, You only have deceit You'll see, somehow, someday

Chorus2:

All by myself I don't need anyone at all I know I'll survive I know I'll stay alive, I'll stand on my own I won't need anyone this time It will be mine No one can take it from me You'll see

You'll see, you'll see You'll see, mmmm, mmmm


Don't Cry For Me Argentina

(Eva:) It won't be easy, you'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom Running around, trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to

Chorus:

Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions They are not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

(chorus)

Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you. But all you have to do is look at me to know That every word is true


You Must Love Me

Where do we go from here? This isn't where we intended to be We had it all, you believed in me I believed in you

Certainties disappear What do we do for our dream to survive? How do we keep all our passions alive, As we used to do?

Bridge:

Deep in my heart I'm concealing Things that I'm longing to say Scared to confess what I'm feeling Frightened you'll slip away

Chorus:

You must love me You must love me

Why are you at my side? How can I be any use to you now? Give me a chance and I'll let you see how Nothing has changed

(bridge) (chorus)

You must love me


Ray Of Light

Verse: Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun She's got herself a universe gone quickly For the call of thunder threatens everyone

Chorus:

And I feel like I just got home And I feel And I feel like I just got home And I feel

Faster than the speeding light she's flying Trying to remember where it all began She's got herself a little piece of heaven Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one

(chorus)

Quicker than a ray of light Quicker than a ray of light Quicker than a ray of light

(verse)

And I feel Quicker than a ray of light Then gone for Someone else shall be there Through the endless years

She's got herself a universe She's got herself a universe She's got herself a universe

And I feel And I feel And I feel like I just got home And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light she's flying Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying
