Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

[Chorus]

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There’s someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

[Chorus]

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there’s someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood

Somewhere in America
The tour bus roars through the dead of night
The sleeping towns fade out of sight
You know what I mean
Here it comes and goes so fast
Lookin’ out this window
I just see black
Sometimes I wish that I was back
And this was all a dream

I been up and down
I been lost and found
In America, in America
I been turned around
Till I don’t know where I’m bound
In America, in America
And I miss you now
Just a note from America…

Livin’ on the road again
I’m the only woman
In this rock and roll band
Fifty states of one night stands
You know what I mean
Railroad crossing, midnight train
Just the lonely sound
Of the clickety-clack
Still I know I can’t turn back
American dream….

I been up and down
I been lost and found
In America, in America
I been turned around
Till I don’t know where I’m bound
In America, in America
And I miss you now
Just a note from America…

Sometimes when it gets to me
I dream that you are next to me
I can feel you near (whisperin’ my name)
I can feel your touch (take away my pain)
I can hear you say
“I just want to love you again”
Baby, baby….
Baby, baby….

Johnny saw her ridin’ on a streetcar named “desire”
His fate was sealed
She could see him comin’ like a hundred other liars
It was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
Tito, he was king op the streets
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown
Johnny better run, better run….

Better hide your heart
Better hold on tight
Better say your prayers
Cause there’s trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart
Cause you’re playin’ with fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah/ hey, hey, hey/do, do, do, do…

The ride was over but the story doesn’t end
He took her heart
She looked him in the eye
And said they couldn’t meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa’s messin’ with someone
It was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run…

Johnny’s holdin’ Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldn’t hear him comin’
Till he had them both in sight
You could feel the chill
A shot rang out like thunder
And the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies there dyin’
Lovers finally understand….
Lovers finally understand….

If you wanna leave
I won’t beg you to stay
And if you gotta go darling
Maybe it’s better that way
I’m gonna be strong
I’m gonna do fine
Don’t worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door
Yeah see if I care
Go on and go now but
Don’t turn around
Cause you’re gonna see my heart breaking
Don’t turn around
I don’t want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It’s tearing me apart that you’re leaving
I’m letting you go
But I won’t let you know
I won’t miss your arms around me
Holding me tight
If you ever think about me
Just know that I’ll be alright
I’m gonna be strong
I’m gonna do fine
Don’t worry about this heart of mine
I know I’ll survive
Sure I’ll make it through
And I’ll even learn to live without you
Don’t turn around
Cause you’re gonna see my heart breaking
Don’t turn around
I don’t want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It’s tearing me apart that you’re leaving
I’m letting you go
But I won’t let you know

I wish I could scream out loud
That I love you
Wish I could say to you
Don’t go don’t go don’t go but

Don’t turn around
Cause you’re gonna see my heart breaking
Don’t turn around
I don’t want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It’s tearing me apart that you’re leaving
I’m letting you go
But I won’t let you know
But I won’t let you know

I can’t figure you out
But a heart must be the one thing
You were born without
I’m through wasting my time
I don’t know where I’ll sleep tonight
You say that you can do without me
Go ahead now, try and live without me….

Baby, save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won’t wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby, save up your tears
Cause you’ll be cryin’ over me
<a href=”http://www.testimania.com/”>Testi Canzoni</a>
You got used to my touch
I got used to not feeling much
Winter set in your eyes
Time will melt your castle of ice
You think that you won’t feel the pain now
Your eyes’ll be cryin’ like the rain now….
Baby, save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won’t wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby, save up your tears
Cause you’ll be cryin’ over me
You don’t know it now
But some wounds get deeper with time
You don’t feel it now
Till the need burns, a knife turns
Your heart bleeds like mine….
Your heart bleeds like mine….

I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as you’re gone we may as well
pretend<
I’ve been dreaming
And that’s straight from the heart
You said it’s easy but who’s to say
That we’d be able to keep it this way
But it’s easier
Coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I’ll never go
As long as I know
It’s coming straight from the heart

I’ll see you on the street some other time
But all our words will just fall out of line
While we’re dreaming
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I’ll never go
As long as I know
It’s coming straight from the heart

INSTRUMENTAL

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I’ll never go
As long as I know
It’s coming straight from the heart
<a href=”http://www.testimania.com/”>Testi Canzoni</a>
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I’ll never go
As long as I know
It’s coming straight from the heart

You know I’ll never go
As long as I know
It’s coming straight from the heart

You know I’ll never go
As long as I know
It’s coming straight from the heart
It’s coming straight from the heart

There must be somethin’ that we can share
Why is it all or nothin’ everywhere
You got your life and I got mine
Why’s our relationship hangin’ on the line
I don’t want to own you
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say….

Baby, take another look at your heart
And tell me you don’t want me
Baby, tell me you’re not comin’ apart
I can hold out ’til you break
Baby take another look at your heart
You’re breakin’ up, that’s no surprise
So much invested in our so-called “love lives”
Give it up, heart over mind
You can’t explain away
The tears you been cryin’
I don’t want to own you
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say
More than words can say

I call you when I need you
And my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired
You come to me, give me everything I need

You bring a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
You speak the language of love
Like you know what it means
And it can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong

Cause you’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you said
Tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead

Deep in your heart
I see the start
Of every night and every day
And in your eyes I get lost
I get washed away
Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place
Cause you’re simply the best
Cause you’re simply the best

More than often when I’m with you
I become a nervous kid
I imagine your old girlfriends
I imagine what you did
I don’t know if this is normal
I don’t know if this is love
With you I get so formal
And I feel all this other stuff

Shy with you
Though I’ve been around the block
Shy with you
Cause you’re the one I really want

Other guys I don’t care about
So easy with them
Anything you can do without
So easy to win
I can’t do without your love
So I try to play it cool
Everytime you call my bluff
I just stand there like a fool

Shy with you
Though I’ve been around the block
Shy with you
Cause you’re the one I really want
Shy with you
Sometimes a heart can hurt a lot
Shy with you
Cause you’re the one I really want

I need your love
I need your love to see me through
I want you
I want you and so it’s true
Shy with you…shy with you…shy with you…
Shy with you…shy with you…shy with you…

The narrow and the winding ways
The streets of old New York
The families, the street life, the spark
The rooftop where we watched
San Gennaro’s festival
Masquerades in the dark…
On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
On the streets down in little Italy

The oceans and the years
That separate our lives
From these streets we once called our home
Those distances of space and time
How strong they are
And how weak they are…
On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
On the streets down in little Italy

Does the morning sunlight
Still hit the bed where we used to lie
Do the sidewalk stands and markets still overflow
Where I lingered till I was empty
Where I stayed till I had to go
Though in the night
Sometimes I see you disappear
Down cobblestones…

On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
Like your presence in my bones
On the streets down in little Italy
On the streets down in little Italy
