Lyrics Donna Summer - Grand Illusion

Lyrics Donna Summer - Grand Illusion

Oh grand illusion, like to fade away
Take me and go out and play, oh yeah
It's no intrusion, it's like a rainy day
That can wash the clouds away of this pain inside

Harmony, we need harmony
Find the melody that puts our hearts in tune
Harmony, we need harmony
Simple symphony that makes us feel brand new

Oh grand illusion, like to fade away
Take me and go out and play, Oh yeah
It's no intrusion, it's like a rainy day
That can wash the clouds away of this pain inside

Harmony, we need harmony
Find the melody that puts our hearts in tune
Harmony, we need harmony
Simple symphony that makes us feel brand new

Harmony, harmony
Oh grand illusion, like to fade away
Take me and go out and play, Oh yeah
It's no intrusion, it's like a rainy day

That can wash the clouds away of this pain inside
Come on now, boy, put it on the line
Take some space just to ease your mind
And to think it through

Lyrics Donna Summer - Body Talk

Lyrics Donna Summer - Body Talk

I can tell
By the way you stare at me
(Talk):
It's deep...real deep
Your mind's messed up
Words just don't come easily
(Talk):
It should be natural
Your invitation...baby
Turned my head around
Quiet conversation
Language without sound
Body talk...work your body
Everybody let your body talk
Body talk...work your body
Everybody needs some body talk
The guy with me
He's just a friend of mine
(Talk)
It's purely platonic
So if you're tuff enuff
Baby step across the line
(Talk)
Girlfriend don't bite
My imagination...baby
Bound to blow my mind
Body talk...work your body
Everybody let your body talk
Body talk...work your body
Everybody needs some body talk
Body talk
I can hear your body talk
Speak to me baby
Body talk
I can hear your body talk
Speak to me baby
Body talk
I can hear your body talk
Body talk
I can hear your body, body, body, body
Talk
I get the picture...baby
Come on over here
Your lips ain't moving
But I hear you loud and clear
(Chorus out)

Lyrics Donna Summer - My Man Medley

Lyrics Donna Summer - My Man Medley

Spoken:
I just wanna say this
This is something I thing most of you ladies will identify with
And maybe some of you men too
(the man I love)
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be rich and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And maybe for awhile
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Spoken:
You know I'm the kind of lady
That always seems to find the wrong man
At the wrong place at the wrong time
It's not that I go out looking for him
But somehow he always seems to find me
You see what I'm looking for is the kind of man
That comes home with candy
And flowers sayin' "come on put on your dancing shoes
Cause we're gonna wine and dine, wine and dine"
But what I always seem to find is the kind of man
That comes home fussing
And fighting, breaking my best dishes
And beat my head outside the wall
Shows no love no respect and nothing at all
(I got it bad and that ain't good)
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good!
(no, it ain't good at all, you know)
Spoken:
Listen, have you been treating your lady nice lately, you have?
And how about you?
Great, well I've been gettin' rocked completely!
My poor heart is sentimental it's not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
Spoken:
So you see on Monday nights
I just go out and drink and drink
But when the weekend's over on Monday rolls aroun'
I end up like I start out just cryin' my heart out
Cryin' my heart out
Lord above me (come on) make him love me
Then he should
I got it bad baby
I got it bad baby
I got it bad and that ain't good!
No it ain't good at all you know
Spoken:
But listen mister big shot I've got your number
And I'll take care of you
And you too and you and you and you
(some of these days)
Some of these days
You're gonna miss your donna
Some of these days
You're gonna feel so lonely
You'll miss my huggin'
You'll miss my kissin'
You'll miss me honey
When you're far away
You're gonna be so lonely
For me only
Cause you know daddy
You had you way
And if I leave you
You know it's gonna grieve you
You're gonna miss your sweet lovin' donna
Some of these days
And if I leave you
You know it's gonna grieve you
You're gonna miss your sweet little donna
Some of these days
Hey honey call me when you got time
Know what I mean...

Lyrics Donna Summer - Maybe It's Over

Lyrics Donna Summer - Maybe It's Over

You were the first
And you taught me how to love
And you'll always stay close to my heart
But it would not be fair it I wouldn't tell you now

That it's over, baby it's over

You took this lonely child
And you taught it how to feel
You took the rain clouds from my eyes
You made fantasy seem real
Still it hurts me so inside
But I can't change and I can't hide

That it's over, maybe it's over

Oh now, I know you're not the one
It's me
I've changed inside
I feel a need to be free
It's over
Maybe baby it's over

I was a lonely girl
Just calling out for him
You taught me how to live
You taught me how to love myself
Still it hurts me so inside
But I can't change and I can't hide

That's it's over, baby it's over

Oh, now I know you're not the one
It's me
I've changed, changed inside
I feel a need to be free

It's over
Maybe baby it's over
It's over
Please don't hate me
But it's over

Don't you know that I love you
Don't you know that I care
Don't you know that I love you
But I can't always be there
It ain't you
No, it's me
Gonna fly like a bird
Fly like a bird
Yeah, I must be free

Lyrics Donna Summer - (Theme) Once Upon A Time

Lyrics Donna Summer - (Theme) Once Upon A Time

(Voice monologue over "Once Upon A Time" instrumental)

Once upon a time, there was a girl
She lived in the land of never-never
Where everything real is unreal
And only fairy tales come true
Something like me and you

But she believed that what she dreamed of could be real
So she strived on to make it come true
Fighting odds, not knowing what would come of her
Never giving up the hope within her

She carried on and on, because she believed
That once, once in a time in her lifetime
The things so unreal would be real

And in the morning, one day when she awoke
To find herself surrounded by the same old room
She was disappointed

So she dreamed and she dreamed
And she dreamed and she dreamed and she dreamed
And she said that fairy tales do come true
'cause I believe, I believe

And she kept trying, and she kept right on fighting
Till one day she met a man who held her tight
And she fell in love

Once upon a time, in the land of never-never
Where all things real are unreal
There lived a girl who believed
That all things could be possible

And one day she did awake
And found herself somewhere else
Beside her a brand new face
Of someone that she loved

Lyrics Donna Summer - Be Myself Again

Lyrics Donna Summer - Be Myself Again

Let me introduce myself
I'm a woman that you've never seen
You might know me from somewhere else
As someone that I've never been.

I gave everything to play the game
My soul fell apart at the seams
I fell down like a house of cards
When somebody pulled the queen.

[Chorus]
'Cause you could spend your life
Lookin' for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what's real and what's projected
Had I known what I lost?
What I gained, what it'd cost
I'd still give what remains
To be myself again.

You must believe me when I say
Don't live someone else's design
Turn it around like a photograph
The writings been there all the time.

Now you can have all these hopes and dreams
The ones I can't use anymore
I don't know what it is you lost
But I hope you got what you came for.

[Chorus]

Sometimes I want to leave right now
Sometimes I want to cry out loud
I want to let it all hang out
But I don't want to let you down.

Sometimes I want to just lay here
Sometimes I want to disappear
I want to show you all my fear
But I don't want to let you down.

[Chorus]

To be myself again...

Lyrics Donna Summer - Sing Along

Lyrics Donna Summer - Sing Along

I've an emptiness inside
That can only be describe
As a sad song
With the paint all peeling off
All the world I used to know
It's a sad song
He gave my life a meaning
When all hope inside had die
The he took the meaning back
And left me feeling oh disillusioned
He just walked out of my world
Like you'd walk out of a room
Oh you sad song

Sing along with my song
If you're lost and you're alone
Sing along if your song
Has theme of love gone wrong
Sing along and belong
Don't hold back we're growing strong
Sing along sing your song
Sing your sad your sad sad song

Ain't it strange the way life goes
First you're used and then disposed
Like a sad song
Saying love was just a word
Used to keep you hanging there
Like a sad song
You swallowed all those promises
So called upon you are
And following his footsteps
No matter just how far must follow
He just walked out of a room
Oh you sad song

Sing along with my song
If you're lost and you're alone
Sing along if your song
Has theme of love gone wrong
Sing along and belong
Don't hold back we're growing strong
Sing along sing your song
Sing your sad you sad sad song...

Lyrics Donna Summer - (If It) Hurts Just A Little

Lyrics Donna Summer - (If It) Hurts Just A Little

Perfect love you will never find
Say goodbye to what's left
Behind
Your release is way overdue
Let your tears be a friend to you

If it hurts just a little be glad of it
Don't get caught in the middle
Thinking 'bout it
If it hurts just a little be glad of it
If you try you will see, what will be
Hurts just a little

Silent eyes make your public life
And the lies can be cold as ice
How could you ever be so blind
Bet you never ever ever thought
That love could be so kind

If it hurts just a little be glad of it
Don't get caught in the middle
Thinking 'bout it
If it hurts just a little be glad of it
If you try you will see, what will be
Hurts just a little

see'mon baby, see'mon sugar, see'mon
Honey (darlin')
see'mon baby, see'mon sugar, see'mon
Honey (darlin')
see'mon baby, see'mon sugar, see'mon
Honey (darlin')
It's a crime of passion
That's just what it means to me

If it hurt just a little be glad of it
Don't get caught in the middle
Thinking 'bout it
If it hurts just a little be glad of it
If you try you will see
If it hurt just a little be glad of it
Don't get caught in the middle
Thinking 'bout it
If hurts just a little be glad of it
If you try you will see

see'mon baby, see'mon sugar, see'mon
Honey (darlin')
see'mon baby, see'mon sugar, see'mon
Honey (darlin')
see'mon baby, see'mon sugar, see'mon
Honey (darlin')...

Lyrics Donna Summer - Mistaken Identity

Lyrics Donna Summer - Mistaken Identity

Undercover cop car
Came screeching to a halt
Body lying on the ground
Must be someone's fault
Circumstantial evidence
Seemed to point her way
Her right to remain silent
Was all she heard them say

Blue dress, blue eyes
Blonde hair, about five foot nine
Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face, wrong crime

(chorus):
Mistaken identity
Could happen to you or to me
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity
Could happen to you or to me
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity

(i didn't do it, no, i didn't do it)
No money for a lawyer
To defend her case
Standing in the line-up
Tears rolling down her face

No one cared to listen
Someone had to take the heat
Sometimes there's no justice
When you're a victim of the street

Wrong place, wrong time
Wrong face, wrong crime (x4)

(chorus):
Tu ut tu tu tu...tu ut tut tu tu
They didn't even say
I'm sorry
Tried to put her away
In a hurry

Don't make her pay the price
She's not guilty
(guilty)
For someone else's crime
Set her free
(set her free)

I didn't
I didn't
I didn't do it no (x4)

(chorus out)

Lyrics Donna Summer - Don't Cry For Me Argentina

Lyrics Donna Summer - Don't Cry For Me Argentina

This won't be easy
You'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to nines
For sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I choose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too

Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance

And as for fortune
And as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it appeared to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me

Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise,
Don't keep your distance
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Lyrics Donna Summer - Sweet Emotion

Lyrics Donna Summer - Sweet Emotion

Seems every star is out tonight to light our love
So round the moon so full and bright so high above
But if you look real closely there's only me, there's only you
And when you hold me closely, yeah

And now the sky melts in the sea like they are one
It's hard to tell where one first starts and where ends one
That's the way our love is
You part of me me part of you

That's just what love is
Sweet you got the sweetest emotion, baby
Sweet, sweet emotion
Sweet you got the sweetest emotion
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet

You took me from the surface to a deeper deep
Showing me that you
And you are life for me
Our love will last forever
Me loving you, you loving me
We'll always be together oh

Sweet you got the sweetest emotion
Sweet, sweet emotion
Sweet, sweet emotion
Sweet you got the sweetest emotion
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet

Sweet, you got the sweetest emotion
Sweet, you got the sweetest emotion
Listen baby
Listen to me
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet
Sweeter than sweet
You got the sweet emotion, yeah
Listen to me

Lyrics Donna Summer - Get Ethnic

Lyrics Donna Summer - Get Ethnic

(Rap:)
Lying here in the sun just trying to get a tan
Trying to find a look to go with the plan

Everyone's different
Everyone's go their thing
Spin man give me a rhythm...swing, swing

You don't have to dance alone
You get on the floor and make yourself at home
Do anything you want to do
It's alright... it's all up to you

(Ethnic chorus):
It doesn't matter what skin you're in
Baby let the groove begin
Get ethnic...all day

People let me tell you what it's all about
Get ethnic...all day
Get ethnic...all night long

Walk my way!!!

This is a new direction
We're gonna take it to the street
Spinman throw down a funky beat
Ooh sweet
Don't really care where you come from
You may move to a different drum
Jump right in and take you place
We're all part of the human race

(Ethnic chorus):
Like you mama do
And your daddy too
It's an attitude

Everybody's different
And we all have a song to sing
Spin man do your rhythm thing...swing...swing
Spin man do your rhythm thing...swing...swing

(Ethnic chorus):
See'mon see'mon baby
Smooth me out
Smooth me out

Lyrics Donna Summer - Highway Runner

Lyrics Donna Summer - Highway Runner

Highway lead him to where he's never been
Show that drifter what he's never seen
Introduce him to this
Acquaint him with that
Gotta keep searching like a stray stray cat

Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born
Highway runner racing time around the world one more time
For one more time

It ain't even me can hold him down
Country just a breath from town to town
He got restless feet and a restless mind
Never want to travel through the same place twice

Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born
Highway runner racing time around the world one more time
For one more time

One more time
One more time
One more time
You're gonna meet your match...

Lyrics Donna Summer - Back Where You Belong

Lyrics Donna Summer - Back Where You Belong

Ooh I've been down there a million times
If I've been down before
Never thought I'd hurt so bad
To see you play the fool
Never mountain high enough
I said and I watched you climb
Till the day I saw you walk out of your life and mine

So I'm gonna leave you just because I want you
Back where you belong
Gonna make you see just what you've doing to me
Back where you belong
Be home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong

Standing in the shadows
Watch your never-ending flight
Just how high as high to be before you see the light
Will this be the change you need to show you who you are
I love you but I'll leave you just to prove you've gone too far

Soon I'm gonna leave you just because I want you
Back where you belong
Gonna make you see just what you've doing to me
Back where you belong
Be home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong

Can't you see you're losing me using me
Back where you belong
Heaven knows I love you will this make you see
Back where you belong

So I'm gonna leave you just because I want you
Back where you belong
Gonna make you see just what you've doing to me
Back where you belong
Be home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong

Don't you understand my feelings and
Set me free
Don't you realize it...

Lyrics Donna Summer - Pandora's Box

Lyrics Donna Summer - Pandora's Box

If I had known of what would come
I might have walked outta here a lot less harmed
But I'm no lady of the glass
And I can't foretell what will pass

And I went with my defenses down
As your love sent me spinning spinning 'round
Oh you took me to the very top
And then I took a bad (and) long long drop

Oh promises are made to be broken
That's all I ever learned from loving you
And oh when you opened up your love to me
You opened up pandora's box

Oh promises are made to bend and stretch oh
And end up being really worthless
And oh when I opened up the door to you
I opened up pandora's box

Just one look and I knew you knew
I was all hung up hung up on loving you
I just put all my trust in love
And I placed a big old bet on lady love
I was sentenced to loving you
And I'm serving time in solitude
Yeah I gave ya everything that I got
And you took it all and walked right off

Oh promises are made to be broken
That's all I ever learned from loving you
And oh when you opened up your love to me
You opened up pandora's box

Oh promises are made to bend and stretch oh
And end up being really worthless
And oh when I opened up the door to you
I opened up pandora's box

Just one look and I knew you knew
I was all hung up hung up on loving you
I just put all my trust in love
And I placed a big old bet on lady love

Oh promises are made to be broken
That's all I ever learned from loving you
And oh when you opened up your love to me
You opened up pandora's box

Oh promises are made to bend and stretch oh
And end up being really worthless
And oh when I opened up the door to you
I opened up pandora's box

Oh promises are made to be broken
That's all I ever learned from loving you
And oh when you opened up your love to me
You opened up pandora's box

Oh promises are made to bend and stretch oh
And en up being really worthless

Lyrics Donna Summer - Only The Fool Survives

Lyrics Donna Summer - Only The Fool Survives

What went wrong
I was so sure that love had led me to your door
Was it a dream, nothing more

Inside my head
I keep hearing all the tender words we said
Who were they for

We are strong
We can hold on to each other if we try
And make it right, for you and I
There's no goodbyes

Only the fool survives
Only the heart provides
Sweet love and tenderness
Save us tonight

Life is change
But I never want to leave this love behind
We've come too far to lose this time

Where there's love
There is nothing strong enough to come between
What we believe
And break us up where there is love

Only the fool survives
Only the heart provides
Sweet love and tenderness
Save us tonight

Only the fool survives
Even the hardest times
Let all the love we share
Keep us alive

See your eyes in a million faces
See your smiles in a thousand places
And I never escape your memories

You'd be there everywhere that I go
You're the only real thing I know
And I never wanted to be free
Stay here with me

Only the fool survives
Only the heart provides
Sweet love and tenderness
Save us tonight

Only the fool survives
Even the hardest times
Let al the love we share
Keep us alive...

Lyrics Donna Summer - Breath Of Heaven

Lyrics Donna Summer - Breath Of Heaven

And Gabriel appeared to Mary and said
"Do not be afraid Mary
You have found favor with god
You will be with child
And give birth to a son
And you are to give him the name Jesus
He will be great
And will be called the son of the most high
And the lord god will give him the throne of his father David
And he will reign over the house of David forever
His kingdom will never end"

I have traveled many moonless night
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy father you have come
And chosen me now to carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For your are holy
Breath of heaven

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven

Lyrics Donna Summer - On My Honor

Lyrics Donna Summer - On My Honor

Here I am on my own again
The days rush by
The nights all seems so slow
Guess I've let you down
In my way, some how
If you take me back
I know we'll make it
We'll make a promise
And then break it

On my honor I will try
Always do the best I can
Though the tears
May fall like drops
From my eyes honey
On my honor I will try

If you want me to be strong
I'll give it everything I have
You'll never have to worry
'Cause we're not in a hurry
On my honor I will try

It's a lover's dance
In a fiery chant
Don't be afraid to face the music now
It's a gambler's chance
Not a lost romance
And I'm not you
And you're not me and
Sometimes we feel differently

On my honor I will try
Always do the best I can
Though the tears
May fall like drops
From my eyes honey
On my honor I will try
If you want me to be strong

I'll give it everything I have
You'll never have to worry
'Cause we're not in a hurry
On my honor I will try
I will try
I will try
I'll try

Lyrics Donna Summer - Any Way At All

Lyrics Donna Summer - Any Way At All

Ooo
Hey baby
Ooo

We never know
Where the winds of love will carry
Our hearts unfold
Into the hands of time

Nothing will ever change
This love we share
No matter what it takes
I will be there

When the sun goes high
You pray for clouds to break
Reach up to the sky and pray for it to rain
When the times get hard you rely on your faith
We'll be together
If there's any way at all
It there's any way at all

Don't be afraid
'Cause we're in this love together
We'll ride the waves
'Til we reach the other side

Your love is life to me
None can compare
Not as I live and breath
I will be there

When the sun goes high
You pray for clouds to break
Reach up to the sky and pray for it to rain
When the times get hard you rely on your faith
You know that we'll be together
If there's any way at all
(If there's any way)
If there's any way at all

If there's any way at all
We'll be together baby
If there's any way at all
We'll be together forever and ever

Reach up to the sky and pray for it to rain
(Oh, baby)
When the times get hard you rely on your faith
We'll be together
If there's any way at all
(If there's any way)
If there's any way at all
Ooo
