Tell Me All Your Secrets
Music & Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright September 1994

Tell me all your secrets 'cos we haven't got much time
Waiting for tomorrow ain't gonna ease what's on my mind
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait

Loosen up now sweet thing, whisper in my ear
Tell me that you're listenin', that's what I wanna hear
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait

I feel like I'm on fire, feel like I can't breathe
Oh when you're next to me, I get a shiver
Baby please, don't make me wait
Don't you make me wait, baby don't you make me wait

Tell me all your secrets...

Hold on tight now sweet thing, baby look into my eyes
Tell me all your secrets, ain't got time to read your mind
Don't make me wait, baby don't you make me wait

You're makin' me excited, makin' me believe
Oh you feel so good to me, can you deliver what I need
Don't make me wait, don't you make me wait
Baby, don't you make me wait

'Cos lover when you look at me
I get a fever that I can't explain
Darlin' you were sent to me
Ain't no other gonna take your place tonight

Tell me all your secrets 'cos we haven't got much time
Waiting for tomorrow ain't gonna ease what's on, ease what's on,
ease what's on, ease what's on my mind

Tell me all your secrets...

Don't you make me wait, don't you make me wait
Don't you make me wait

Tell Me Lies
Music & Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright October 1995

You say you got your reasons
Maybe you got a point
Excuse me for believin'
But didn't we make love last night

Well there ain't no use complainin'
And I ain't got no more breathe to fight ya
How could you love and leave me
How you gonna sleep warm tonight

Tell me that, no I changed my mind
Tell me lies
Tell me anything I wanna hear
I need something to buy us some time

What's that I hear you say
You really think you're right don't ya
You're so infuriatin'
How can one man make me so uptight

Tell me that, before I lose my mind
Tell me lies
Tell me everything I wanna hear
Anything to buy us some time
Come on and tell me lies
Tell me lies

Tell me lies, before I lose my mind
Tell me lies
Tell me everthing I wanna hear
Make it a little lie
Tell me lies, oh a little lie

Don't Judge Me
Music & Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright May 1994

If I act crazy, that's my prerogative
If I act a little extreme, that's the way I want it to be

Lately if there's a rumour, I'm right there in the thick of things
Seems to me too many people are looking for someone to
hang all their hopes on

I'm all at sea, but that's what I intended
I'm all engrossed in feelin', why can't you let me be

I get so tired trying to justify what's already mine
All that I am, I'm not apologisin'
I've come to realise you take it while you can

Don't judge me, 'cos I don't know exactly where I go
You can help me, keeping your opinions to yourself
Have some faith in me, maybe you could catch me if I fall
Only if I fall

If I seem selfish, if I appear a little bit mean
If I take it when I want it, maybe listen and learn from me

'Cos I get so tired trying to justify what's already mine
I done my time, so if you can't understand
you better plan on getting out of my way

And listen when I say,
Don't judge me...

Two Minds
Music & Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright December 1995

I'm of two minds today
But then you'd know about that
I could go two ways
Could be this, could be that

It all depends on my mood swing
I know you know about that
You taught me everything
Don't I make you proud
Ain't it just like lookin' in the mirror

You always made me feel like I was somethin' close to nothin'
So what makes you think that now you can walk on back and feel love
I seen your change of heart and it don't stop my pain
Yeah, I seen a change

They say your heart's in the right place
Well I don't know about that
All I see is two faces
There's one for us, one for them
And here I am stuck somewhere in the middle

You always made me feel like I was somethin' close to nothin'
So what makes you think that now you can walk on back and feel love
I seen your change of heart and it don't stop my pain
Yeah, I seen a change
But I'm of two minds today

Oh, you always made me feel like I was nothin'
So what makes you think that now you can walk on back and feel my love
I seen your change of heart and it don't stop my pain
Yeah, I seen a change
But I'm of two minds today

So Long
Music & Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright May 1994

So long, I'm always sayin' it
So long, and I hate it
Why can't I leave this alone
It's far too complicated

So long, I been lookin' for
Your kind of lovin'
Oh baby wouldn't you know
This just ain't the way I planned it

Ah, but you, I love the way you tug at my heart
And when you kiss me, you don't miss me like the others seem to
Tell me that you feel it too
Tell me soon I'm gonna get to hold you in my arms
It's only me you'll run to

So long, I'm not prepared for this
Won't you treat me gently
I get so restless my love
But Lord you make my heart sing

So long, you got me dreamin'
You got me thinkin' things
And if I walk away now
I know you're gonna haunt me

Don't make me promises you know you can't keep
Baby please, don't say anything you don't really mean
Each stolen moment means the world to me
But if we must be strangers
If we can only hope to be strangers when we meet
You gotta tell me

Ah, you, I love the way you tug at my heart
And when you kiss me, you don't miss me like the others seem to
But what's a girl supposed to do
I live to believe that I won't have to say goodbye to you
My love, I ache without you

Don't make me promises...

Get A Life
Music: Louise Perryman & Bill Risby  Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright October 1996

Get a life, baby
You know you're not very nice, baby
What's your price, baby
What's your price to get on out of my life, baby

I know you're thinkin' that the world owes you a favour
Woah baby, yeah right
Honey don't you know you got a chip on your shoulder
too steep to climb

You dragged me down so far I almost saw the other side
Smack my mouth if you say something nice

Get a life, baby...

What about the fact you said that we would be together forever
Woah baby, yeah right
Don't you know it gotta show if it ain't your nature
Stuff money can't buy

You pulled your punches when you didn't have nowhere to hide
Mess your life, don't mess with mine, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine
All mine

Get a life, baby...

Get a life, baby...

You dragged me down so far I almost saw the other side
Mess your life, don't mess with mine, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine
All mine

Get a life, baby...

(I ain't got no more cash to help you with your sad, sad mess)

(I want my life back, want my  life back, want my life back, yeah)

This Would Never Happen If You Loved Me
Music & Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright April  1996

I got a short sharp sting at the base of my neck
From turning to the door to try to will you in
I lost count of the times I've spent here waiting
And this short sharp sting it goes right down my back
I don't see I'll ever get over it
My friends just shake their heads
 

Saying that
This would never ever happen if you loved me
This would never ever happen if you loved me
This would never ever happen if you loved me
Ain't no way
 

I got a deep dull drumming right behind my eye
From searching for a reason that I'll never find
Maybe you would know the answer
'Cos baby this deep dull drumming goes right through my head
I don't see I'll ever get over it
My friends are shaking their heads
 

Saying that
This would never ever happen if you loved me
This would never ever happen if you loved me
This would never ever happen if you loved me
Ain't no way
 
 

When did you move your love
What did I do to stop you from wanting home
It's a little bit late in the day to draw on history
But when you said you loved me
I thought that you'd always stay
 
 

Now there's a long cool breeze facing into the wind
Stirring up more than curiosity
And it's whispering to me
Oh, this long cool breeze it blows through my hair
I think it makes me feel a little better
Maybe I'll take the chance
 

And know it baby, this, oh
This would never ever happen if you loved me

Little Things
Music & Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright February 1996

These things, these little things, these little things
These things, these little things, these little things

It's time we aired some dirty laundry
It can't be good to keep it all in your head
I know you seen more than you looked for
Hey, I'm not a good liar

Ain't no time to sit and wonder
I need to feel that truth is closer than the lie
I might be a bit more than you bargained for
But ain't it a good fire

These things...

What we got here, it ain't all that fundamental to our story
Don't you see it just gets interesting
Stay with me, won't you darlin', love me
This is so much bigger, so much bigger than those (little things)
Sweet

There it is, so don't you worry now
I don't see the need to try so hard
What we got is more than little things
We got love

There only things, sweet little things, only little things
Only things, sweet little things, only little things
There only things, things, just little things
Only things, things
Sweet

Take Me On
Music & Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright August 1995

The night can get so cold
And we're not getting any younger
I don't wanna be alone
Trust me

Relax and baby take me on
Can't you hold me tighter to your soul
It gets better if you touch me

Reach out for me, come on and take me on, take me on, take me on, take me on

Look into the light, yeh
Do you feel it gettin' brighter
Everytime, everytime you love me

Reach out for me, come on and take me on, take me on, take me on, take me on
Teach me love, take me on, take me on, take me on, take me on

So make every time the last time
And make every thing the sweetest thing
'Cos you never know who might be watchin'

I say now
Reach out for me, I will be waitin'
I can feel your heart respondin'
Reach out for me, come on and take me on, take me on, take me on, take me on
Teach me love, take me on, take me on, take me on, take me on
Reach out for me, I'll take you home
 

If you wanna love me
If you wanna love me, you gonna have to trust me, love me
If you wanna love me, just reach out and touch me
If you wanna love me, take me on, take me on, ah
If you wanna love me...

Get What You Need
Music: Elliott Wilshier & Louise Perryman  Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright September 1994

Someone always talkin' 'bout, someone who's been talked about
Someone always talkin' 'bout me
Someone always fussin', a-lyin' an' a-cussin'
Layin' down their bets to get even
But honey not me, 'cos I say be free
As long as you get what you need
Ain't nothin' wrong with it

People they can cut you down, people they can knock you 'round
Honey I say let 'em be
They don't get the chance to say all the things they'd like to
Baby, ain't nothin' really gettin' said
Not me, 'cos I say what I mean
As long as you get what you need
Ain't nothin' wrong with it

I say what I wanna way when I wanna say it
Do what I wanna do when I wanna do it
Be what I wanna be when I wanna be
I say be free
As long as you get, as long as you get
As long as you get what you need

Someone always talkin' 'bout, someone who's been talked about
Someone always talkin' 'bout me
Someone always usin' me, thinkin' they're confusin' me
Tryin' to drag the life out of me
But it ain't to be, 'cos I think very clearly
As long as you get what you need
Ain't nothin' wrong with it

I say what I wanna way when I wanna say it
Do what I wanna do when I wanna do it
Be what I wanna be when I wanna be
I say be free
As long as you get, as long as you get
As long as you get what you need
Ain't nothin' wrong with it, as long as you get what you need,
I say be free
Come on baby with me, stay loose, stay free now
Oh, be what you wanna be, be proud, be free now
Are you listenin' to me, stay strong, be proud, stay loose, be free
That's right,oh, come on baby with me, come on baby with me
Baby get what you need

That Way
Music: Louise Perryman & Bill Risby  Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright October 1996

I don't mean to stare
But you're living something I remember
Oh, yes I do
How sweet it felt
The way a soul can touch another

Someone looked at me that way once
Someone wanted me that way once
Someone made me feel the way you look, but then it stopped
Someone loved me the way you are once

So I act as if I don't care
And let it all go on around me
Oh, yes it does
I watch the way his hand runs the length of your back
I swear I feel the whole sensation
And I'm envious, so envious

Someone looked at me...
He loved me that way once

You know what I'm seein', all that touchin' and feelin'
When you just can't keep your fingers to yourself
It ain't never the time, never the place
And the best part of it all, you do it anyway

I know what I'm seein', it's what I was feelin'
When he looked at me, when he looked at me

Someone, he looked at me that way once
Someone, he wanted me that way once
He made me feel the way you look, but then it stopped
He loved me that way, that way, that way
I know he wanted me
And when he looked at me he saw no-one else
Someone made me feel the way you look, but then it stopped
He loved me that way, that way

(anytime, anyplace, anyhow, anyway - it was that way)
