In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door.
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more.

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store,
My heart start aching.
My body start a shaking
And I can't take no more, no, no.

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.

In the Still of the Night.
In the Still of the Night.
Over here baby.

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun.
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come.

In the Still of the Night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel heart is aching
In the Still of the Night.

(Solo)

Tell me here baby.

In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door.
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more.

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.

In the Still of the Night...

Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...

I know you, you know me
I'm the black sheep of the family,
I'm in an' out of trouble
I'm the talk of the town
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down
I steal around, like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day

Bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city
I see you, you see me
Just a black street boy in society
With high-heeled women full of champagne an' lies,
Getting wild in the street
'Til the hot sunrise
Stealing round like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day

Bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city,
Wild in the city,
Wild in the city

Bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city

I know you, you know me
I'm the black sheep of the family,
I'm in an' out of trouble
I'm the talk of the town
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down

I don't care what the people think,
I can't hear what the people say,
I steal around like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day

Bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Bad, bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city

Undercover of moonlight...

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever,
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night,
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life.

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind.
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry.

The sun is shining
Oh, but, it's raining in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted,
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more, more, more.
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution,
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad.

The sun is shining
Oh baby, it's still raining in my heart, in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain, no, no, no.

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain...

Crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone
It's times like these I can't make it on my own
Wasted days and sleeplees nights
And I can't wait to see you again

I find I spend my time waiting on your call
How can I tell you babe,
my back's against the wall
I need you by my side to tell me it's all right
'Cause I don't think I can take anymore

(chorus)
Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
'Cause it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

I can't stop this feeling
I've been this way before
But with you I've found the key
to open any door
I can feel my love for you growing stronger
day by day
And I can't wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms

(chorus)

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for

*Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for

*repeat

I'm coming round to see you,
Kicking down your door
I've got to tell you girl
I really can't take no more
'Cos I've been hearing about you
Everybody says you're front page news
Laying it down, all around the town
Giving all the boys the blues

Stand and deliver in the name of love,
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you want I'm gonna do

I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane

I never loved a woman
The way that I love you
I can't escape the feeling,
You don't know what you're putting me through

So stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand

Straight for the heart

I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane

You got the love I dream of
The kind that cost so much,
Just cover me with kisses, baby
Surrender to my touch

Stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

I'm going straight for the heart
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane

Straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart,
I'm gonna drive you insane

Straight for the heart...

I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises and songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again, Here I go again

Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
But I've made up my mind
I ain't wastin' no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go

(guitar solo)

'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
But I've made up my mind
I ain't wastin' no more time

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known...
