Better The Devil
You Know
(Better the devil you know)
Better the devil you know)
Wo-oh (Better the devil you know)
(Better the devil you know)
Woh woh woh
Say you won't leave me no more
I'll take you back again
No more excuses no, no
'Cos I've heard them all before
A hundred times or more
I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos its true what they say
It's better the devil you know
Woh woh woh
Our love wasn't perfect I know
I think I know the score
If you say you love me, oh boy
I can't ask for more
I'll come if you should call
I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos its true what they say
It's better the devil you know
I'll be here every day
Waiting for your love to show
Yes it's true what they say
It's better the devil you know
Woh woh woh
I'll take you back I'll take you back again
I'll take you back I'll take you back again
I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos its true what they say
It's better the devil you know
I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos its true what they say
It's better the devil you know
Step Back In Time
(Sample) I wanna funk, I wanna f-f-u-f-u-n-k
I wanna funk, I wanna funk, I wanna f-f-u-f-u-n-k
Non stop dancing the bus stop
To the funky music
Hustle, pumpin the muscle
Blame it on the boogie
Remember the old days
Remember the O'Jays
Walkin' in rhythm, life was for livin'
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time
Keep on truckin' along
Riding on a love train
And then we can float on
You'll never go wrong
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time
Step back in time
Step back I wanna step back, step back
Remember the old days
Remember the O'Jays
Walkin' in rhythm, life was for livin'
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time
What Do I Have To
Do?
(Aah, love you love you)
(Aah, love you love you)
Don't tell me that it's no use
Love's always been my excuse
Don't tell me it ain't right
My heart is my alibi
Only you (you), you (you)
Get me acting crazy
Like I do (do), do (do)
You say you can't believe it but it's true, ooh, ooh
It's true, ooh, ooh
What do I have to do
To get the message through?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do
To get it through to you?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
There ain't a single night
When I haven't held you tight
But it's always inside my head
Never inside my bed
And it's you (you), you (you)
Bringing out the passion
In my soul (oh), oh (oh)
And I gotta have you
Don't you know, oh, oh
Don't you know, oh, oh
What do I have to do
To get the message through?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do
To get it through to you?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
Love, love you
Love, love you
Love, love you
Only you (you), you (you)
Get me acting crazy
Like I do (do), do (do)
You say you can't believe it but it's true, ooh, ooh
It's true, ooh, ooh
What do I have to do
To get the message through?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do
To get it through to you?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do
To get the message through?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do
To get it through to you?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
Secrets
Still don't know how he got my number
Thought I'd got him out of my life
But I agreed to see him just one time
Never thought I'd fall for him twice
Ohh, you've gotta hear my confession
I believe it's long overdue
I can't think of living without you
I'd understand if that's what you'd wanna do
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Never wanted to hurt you
Didn't really want to deceive
I was so afraid if I told you
Your broken heart would force you to leave
I think I knew what I was doing
By falling into his arms again
I wish I'd seen right through him
But I'm telling you 'cos I'm so ashamed
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Ohh, you've gotta hear my confession
I believe it's long overdue
I can't think of living without you
I'd understand if that's what you'd wanna do
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets, secrets, secrets
Pillow talk in the afternoon
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Always Find The
Time
You're the first thing in the morning
And the last thing at night
And I'll always hear you calling
You're always on my mind
I don't want no-one but you, ooh ooh
And I don't need a second string
I don't want a share of you, ooh, ooh
I wanna be your everything
Sunrise - as long as you'll be mine
Midnight - that would be just fine
Rain or shine - it wouldn't change my mind
I-I-I-always find the time
Look around me
I can always see your face
There's a feeling that's surrounding
It's in every move you make
All the other guys I see, ooh ohh
They don't get a second chance
Funny they don't interest me, ohh ohh
I don't give them a second glance
Sunrise - as long as you'll be mine
Midnight - that would be just fine
Rain or shine - it wouldn't change my mind
I-I-I-always find the time
Sunrise - as long as you'll be mine
Midnight - that would be just fine
Rain or shine - it wouldn't change my mind
I-I-I-always find the time
I don't want no-one but you, ooh ooh
And I don't need a second string
I don't want a share of you, ooh, ooh
I wanna be your everything
Sunrise - as long as you'll be mine
Midnight - that would be just fine
Rain or shine - it wouldn't change my mind
I-I-I-always find the time
Sunrise - as long as you'll be mine
Midnight - that would be just fine
Rain or shine - it wouldn't change my mind
I-I-I-always find the time
The World Still
Turns
If there was a chance
To save our broken romance
I'd let it go
'Cos now I know
That life doesn't end
You can start again
All isn't gone
Just carry on
Be your own best friend
It's easy to survive
Now that I finally realise that
The world still turns
The stars still shine
The way they did when you were mine
A broken heart
Is a lesson learned
Though we're apart
Baby the world still turns
I couldn't believe
That you were going to leave
Without a care
Heading somewhere elsewhere
Ohh my aching heart
Never thought that we would part
What could I do - my love for you
I was honest from the start
Time takes away the pain
And the sun will shine again, cause
The world still turns
The stars still shine
The way they did when you were mine
A broken heart
Is a lesson learned
Though we're apart
Baby the world still turns
It's easy to survive
Now that I finally realise that
The world still turns
The stars still shine
The way they did when you were mine
A broken heart
Is a lesson learned
Though we're apart
Baby the world still turns
The world still turns
The stars still shine
The way they did when you were mine
A broken heart
Is a lesson learned
Though we're apart
Baby the world still turns
Shocked
Tell me I'm only dreaming and I'll believe you
Can't see how this could be true
Surrounded by feelings I hardly recognise
I look for explanations I'm taken by surprise
If you told me yesterday that I could feel this way
I would sure enough call you a liar to your face
Because I'm shocked by the power (shocked)
Ooh-wooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power (shocked)
Ooh-wooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power
Maybe this time tomorrow
I'll discover this ain't really real
'Cos it struck me like lightning
Like a bolt out of the blue
Emotions inside me, all over you
I'm high above the Universe, losing track of time
And falling free I can't believe that you are really mine
Because I'm shocked by the power (shocked)
Ooh-wooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power (shocked)
Ooh-wooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power
DNA Mix 7"/12" RAP: (Performed by Jazzi P)
Shocked, like the lightning from up above
Down from the heavens and it gave me love
From a man who respects me
Loves my mind as well as my body
No retreat and no surrender
Equal to you regardless of gender
Giving me love that is warm and tender
That's why I gotta tell ya
You and I are of the same mind
It seems to me that we're one of a kind
It's true to say that when love is blind
But then true love is so hard to find
You respect me and the things I do
It was meant to be I was made for you
Open the door to my heart, it's stopped
And I'm shocked
Surrounded by feelings I hardly recognise
I look for explanations I'm taken by surprise
'Cos it struck me like lightning
Like a bolt out of the blue
Emotions inside me, all over you
Because I'm shocked by the power (shocked)
Ooh-wooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power (shocked)
Ooh-wooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power
Because I'm shocked by the power (shocked)
Ooh-wooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power (shocked)
Ooh-wooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power
Shocked by the power
One Boy Girl
I'm a one boy, one boy girl
You know I'm a one boy girl
Some girls, say in their world
They couldn't bear to have just him
But I, don't need a load of guys
To pump up my self esteem
Girl what you doin' with just one guy
Given' all my lovin'
What you gonna do when
There's lipstick on his collar
You're gonna get old before your time
You can't tell me nothing, 'bout this man of mine
No other love could ever
Compare to my lover
I'm a one boy, one boy girl
No other touch could mean half as much
As my lover You know
I'm a one boy girl
Check it out
Some guys never realise
What a girl needs from a man
But my guy always satisfies
It's a love we understand
Don't you wanna go out and play
I'm sorry but I'm busy
What if you call and there isn't any answer
You're gonna find him gone one day
He'll always be with me no matter what you say
No other love could ever
Compare to my lover
I'm a one boy, one boy girl
No other touch could mean half as much
As my lover You know
I'm a one boy girl
No other kiss is the one that I miss
With my lover
I'm a one boy, one boy girl
No other man could love like he can
As my lover
You know I'm a one boy girl
RAP: (Performed by The Poetess, Kylie's part in italics)
Hey yo kylie
Mmm hmmm?
What's up with this one-boy-girl thing?
Well let me break it down like this (+yeah right)
It doesn't pay to stay or be good
You know how guys are
I don't think he could
Be with just one, and what if he cheats ya?
Girl just have fun go out and meet ya
Two or three more
I don't think so
You should see more
No I don't think so
How could you be sure?
I believe him
You're in for heartbreak you don't need him
What if he hurts you?
He won't do that
Are you sure?
Yeah that's a fact
There's lots of guys in this world
Not for me, I'm a one-boy-girl
No other love (no other love)
My lover, ohh
One boy, one boy girl
No other touch (no other touch)
My lover, ohh
One boy, one boy girl, yeah
No other love could ever
Compare to my lover
I'm a one boy, one boy girl
No other touch could mean half as much
As my lover You know
I'm a one boy girl
He's my one boy
My number one boy
How can I be lonely
He's my one and only
He's my one boy
Number one boy
I can't deny that's he's my guy
We'll never have to say goodbye
He's my one boy
Number one boy
He'll be with me to the end
On his love I can depend
He's my one boy
Number one boy
Things Can Only
Get Better
Make up your mind and don't believe
It's bad news everywhere
Take your time and look around
Because there's something in the air
There's a feeling that's gaining ground
And everyone can have a share
Don't miss your chance
Take up your stance
And just be sure that you are there
It's in your hands now
To change your fortune
To shape your future
Be proud of yourself
Remember, things can only get better
If you believe inside your heart
Nobody's second class
Every day's a brand new start
What's past is past
And if your dreams go nowhere
Don't give up the fight
Come with me and you will see
It all looks different in the morning light
It's in your hands now
To change your fortune
To shape your future
Be proud of yourself
Remember, things can only get better
If you're feeling you can't go on and you're
Lost and lonely and feel so afraid
Remember, things can only get better
It's in your hands now
To change your fortune
To shape your future
Be proud of yourself
Remember, things can only get better
If you're feeling you can't go on and you're
Lost and lonely and feel so afraid
Remember, things can only get better
It's in your hands now
To change your fortune
To shape your future
Be proud of yourself
Remember, things can only get better
Count The Days
Count the days till we're together (1-2-3)
Though it feels like forever (We will be)
Holding on to each other (You and Me)
You will be my only lover (Eternally)
You made my day
When a dozen red roses came my way
Warmed up my heart
'Cos I know you're thinking of me from afar
Press a petal to my lips
Feels like your kiss
Don't you know that's what I miss
To smell the sweet perfume
Reminds me so much of you
There's nothing else that I can do
Count the days till we're together (1-2-3)
Though it feels like forever (We will be)
Holding on to each other (You and Me)
You will be my only lover (Eternally)
It's been so long
I know our two hearts are strong
There's not a moment
That my spirit isn't in it don't you know it
Try to occupy my time
Remember you're mine
Talking to you on the line
Try to get used to this
But long distance loving is
Leaving me to dream of your kiss
Count the days till we're together (1-2-3)
Though it feels like forever (We will be)
Holding on to each other (You and Me)
You will be my only lover (Eternally)
Count the days till we're together (1-2-3)
Though it feels like forever (We will be)
Holding on to each other (You and Me)
You will be my only lover (Eternally)
When I'm feeling scared and lonely
Wonder if I'm still your only
Tell me now Soft and slowly
It's gonna be alright
You'll be by me side
Press a petal to my lips
Feels like your kiss
Don't you know that's what I miss
To smell the sweet perfume
Reminds me so much of you
There's nothing else that I can do
Count the days till we're together (1-2-3)
Though it feels like forever (We will be)
Holding on to each other (You and Me)
You will be my only lover (Eternally)
Count the days till we're together (1-2-3)
Though it feels like forever (We will be)
Holding on to each other (You and Me)
You will be my only lover (Eternally)
Rhythm Of Love
With the rhythm in our lovin'
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
I know what you like
You know just what to do to me
The rhythm is right
We have fun with harmony
You got the bass, I can pick up the pace, yeah
There's no time to wait
A perfect love is what you make of it
When our bodies move we're syncopated
I never knew that two could be
Like you and me
With the rhythm in our lovin'
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
So good together
Some people work better solo
But I could never
Be without you oh no
I'd miss you touch, as it is I can't get enough yeah
I'm in heaven above
I give you a melody that's always new
You've got a good beat, I can dance to you
Spinning for as long as we can
Come on let's jam
With the rhythm in our lovin'
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
With the rhythm in our lovin'
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
(Spoken) Le beat de jour c'est le beat d'amour
A perfect love is what you make of it
When our bodies move we're syncopated
I never knew that two could be
Like you and me
With the rhythm in our lovin'
There ain't nothing I can do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do

To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
