A LOVELY WAY TO SPEND AN EVENING - MG Lyrics
    AS LONG AS I AM FALLING IN LOVE

        I walk with a smile on my face. I’m walkin’ all over the place. I feel like there’s nothing that can bother me at all.

        I whisper hello to a girl; she offers to give it a whirl. Holdin’ hands we stroll along the way. Say, I like how I feel, as long as I am falling in love.

        I put in a long day at work and I can feel everything hurt, when suddenly there’s a pair of eyes lookin’ at me. And even before I can think, she offers to buy me a drink. Oh how beautiful a laugh can be. See, I like how I feel, as long as I am falling in love.

        I don’t mind the “after” words, when lovers get much closer. As long as I keep falling down with no weight on my shoulders.

        I love when my happiness soars and destiny opens the doors. My world is completely filled with possibilities.

        For even a brush past my skin and I can feel something within, quivering, delivering a sigh. Oh my, I like how I feel, as long as I am falling in love.

    SOMEBODY IN LOVE

        I’m in a big mess, I haven’t a clue; ain’t got the time, I can’t spare a dime, I don’t know what to do. I don’t know who to call, can’t seem to get friends, I’m losin’ my mind and I don’t know why my anxiety won’t end.

        I gotta get through this unique situation.
        I gotta get through to somebody in love.

        I was doin’ fine, figured it all out. Had lots of money I was so funny - gigolo, no doubt.
        I was in control, never had a miss. Ladies would call me, nothin’ could stall me from gettin’ that kiss.

        I gotta get through this unique situation.
        I gotta get through to somebody in love.

        You never looked in my direction.
        How could I know my life would change?
        You grabbed my soul with your perfection. Now my world is yours to rearrange.

        I gotta sit down and think all of this through, How did I get here? Who did I bet here?
        Where is my IQ?
        I need a strong hand, I need some advice. Don’t want affection, I need correction, maybe some fresh eyes.

        I gotta get through this unique situation.
        I gotta get through to somebody in love.

        I used to sleep with one eye open. Always had my one foot out the door. I thought my heart could not be broken. Now I know just what it’s beatin’ for...

        I gotta find my love, I gotta track her down.
        She looked at me once and for nearly two months I’ve been actin’ like a clown. I’m happy then I cry, I’m miserable too. I wish that I had someone feeling as bad who could tell me what to do.

        I gotta get through this unique situation.
        I gotta get through to somebody in love.

    TAKE ME

        Take me to a movie I don’t want to see, take me anywhere at all, but just don’t let me be. Let’s go riding horses in the cool, cool rain. As long as you are takin’ me, you won’t hear me complain. ‘Cause I just want you to take me out with you, baby.

        Any week day evening when I’m all worn out, wake me up and shake me up and take me all about. I just get so dizzy when you hold my hand. I’m falling up and floating down, I don’t care where I land. So stop forsaking me and start taking me, baby.

        Now I could take myself out for some fun, but I’m so tired of flirting with everyone. When I saw you, I felt strange and now I don’t know what to do with all this change.

        If you think I’m crazy, rest assured it’s true. Your lips, your skin and everything within, you don’t know what you do.

        I have trouble breathing when you walk on by, but when you stop and look at me, I feel like I can fly up and down the avenue, I just want to be with you.

        So, take me anywhere, as long as you are there. Of all around and above, it’s you that I love.

        So baby, take me..

    SHE KNOWS

        I’m feeling so excited like the day that we first met. My thoughts can’t find a single word and this is how I always get. A bird must fly and a flower grow and so my life should be. Goodbye to all my insecurity.

        My love for you is deeper than the root of any tree; And that’s why it’s so challenging for me to tell you honestly, exactly what I’m feeling and why I’m feeling it today. My mind will not allow my heart to pay.

        And I’m afraid I’ll lose you and I’m afraid I’ll lose me. I’m looking for a way for you to stay and give me the space to be free.

        Last night I stayed awake so I could watch you fall asleep. I didn’t want to make a sound, but I couldn’t stop my heart from beating up and down inside my chest and I thought it would burst through... until you turned and whispered I love you.

        Sometimes the words I want to say escape my lips and so instead of speaking I retreat into another kiss. And just when I’ve said everything and I’m sure you have no clue, you pull away and tell me that you love me too.

        Now tell me how does she know and tell me how does she feel? When after everything I’ve never said, she knows everything inside that’s real

    LOSIN' YOUR APPEAL

        If You’re gonna walk, just walk.

        If you’re gonna leave, just leave.

        If you wanna talk, let’s talk,

        But don’t pretend that you’re still with me.

        I see you lookin’ round the corner,

        I know you’re checkin’ out the scene.

        Whatever you’re doin’ you are losin’ your appeal.

          

        Now I’ve been seein’ stars so brightly,

        I’m watchin’ how they love to shine.

        You may wanna hold me tightly,

        But I can’t let you waste my time.

        I won’t wait around forever,

        I’m not hangin’ out to dry.

        Whatever you’re doin’ you are losin’ your appeal. 

         

        You say I’m your true love and I should know by now,

        But I need you to do Love,

        Instead of professin’ that I need a lessin’ while you’re out there  messin’around.  


        If you do not believe me,  

        If you think I’m only havin’ fun,  

        I ain’t gonna make this easy,  

        I really need to know that you’re the one.  

        I was made to love completely,  

        But now it seems that we are done.      

        Whatever you’re doin’ you are losin’ your appeal.  


        You keep saying sweet things like,"I was meant for you",

        But you can’t just repeat things and then be surprised when I’m not by

        your side,  

        What the hell did you think I would do.  


        If you do not believe me,  

        If you think I’m only havin’ fun,  

        I ain’t gonna make this easy,  

        I really need to know that you’re the one.  

        I was made to love completely,  

        But now it seems that we are done.      

        Whatever you’re doin’ you are losin’ your appeal.
