Flesh And Bone

Richard Marx( 理察馬克斯 ) Flesh And Bone歌詞
1.Fool's Game

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

Fool's game to risk perfection
Out here alone on a wire
Unsuspecting victim of desire
You wear a thousand faces
A master of disguise
And I'm addicted to the madness in your eyes

Chorus:

You will always be the one I dream about
And I know my heart won't beat the same again
You will always be the shadow of a doubt
Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been

Your charms have made me suffer
Why do I care where you are
I'm afraid my dignity has strayed too far
Can't read what you're writing
Unable to make the call
Do you want me desperately
Or not at all

Repeat chorus

Can't read what you're writing
Unable to make the call
Do you want me desperately
Or not at all

Repeat chorus


2.You Never Take Me Dancing

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

The world's greatest mystery
Is love between the woman and the man
Some guys are Romeos
Others simply do the best they can
I'm just your average, ordinary Joe
Tryin' to learn things I never knew I had to know
What's a man supposed to do

I don't get no kick from nine to five
And I'm not a man who thinks it's true
It's a woman's place to keep a love alive
I've watched enough daytime TV
To know my baby's needs
But sometimes I swear that she's impossible to please
She says

Chorus:

You give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing

I really think I do a lot to show
How I feel about her in my way
Roses on our anniversary
Candlelight and me on her birthday
Just when I thought that I had it all worked out
Now she says I still don't know what it's all about
She says

Chorus:

You give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby
But you never take me dancing

I'm just your average, ordinary Joe
Tryin' to learn things I never knew I had to know

Chorus out


3.Touch of Heaven

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

Your eyes burn through me,
Oh, like a raging fire.
I fall blissfully,
Every time you say just one little word.
You know it makes me crazy.
You ask way too much,
Oh, when you say that I can look but do not touch.
I have never wanted any other girl,
The way I want you, baby.
I surrender to what I can't control.
Drunk with desire, I've opened up my soul

You know I would go around the world,
I'd take you anywhere,
Oh, baby anywhere,
For a touch of heaven.
Tell me what you want, I'll give you anything,
Oh, baby everything,
For a touch of heaven

I have dreamed of this,
Your body next to mine.
Drowning in every kiss.
How I've longed to find my one and only girl.
And I found her in you, baby.
All I ever wanted is everything that you are.
Don't leave me longing,
Be tender with my heart.


Everyone says you've been leading me on.
Too late for warnings, I 'm already gone.
Ooh, I surrender to what I can't control.
Drunk with desire,
I'm giving you my soul.


4.What's the Story

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

No needles, no rehab
No minors, no murder rap
Where's that leave a guy like me
Windy city square
If all that sells is tragedy I haven't got a prayer
Should I try to lose it all, kick it off the track
Just to say I took the fall but 'look who's comin' back'

What's the story, where's the dirt
Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt
I don't want to keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat

Normal childhood, beautiful wife
'Scuse me having a wonderful life
Why should I be hungry for someone else's pain
Heroes should have something but talent for fame
Double barrel in the mouth nails it everytime
But that's what legend's all about
Ain't no bigger headline

Maybe I should frequent all the places I'm avoiding
And maybe you should work on building rather than destroying
If this is making friends, I'd rather be lonely

So where's that leave a guy like me
Windy city squart
I may never make page three but ask me if I care


5.Can't Lie to My Heart

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

I whispered you
Words I thought I'd never say
We played the game
But then we tossed the rules away
Could deny it
Justify it
But we both know we went too far
Oh, I can feel you
And I need you
No matter wherever you are

Chorus:

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
But I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
But baby I just can't lie to my heart

I have loved you
Longer than you've even known
When you hurt I hurt
I'm your flesh and you're my bone
If I could only
Be two people
Darlin' I swear we'd both be with you
Oh, I know I'm selfish
But I'm helpless
I want you and nothing else will do

Repeat chorus

I won't pretend anymore
Been hiding too long
I won't go on like before
I'm not that strong
I can feel it when I'm near you
It's not healthy to need you this way
Try to fight it, get inside it
But this pain is stronger than me and it won't go away

Repeat chorus


6.Unitl I Find You Again

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

Lately I've been trying
To fill up my days since you're gone.
The speed of love is blinding,
And I didn't know how to hold on.
My mind won't clear.
I'm out of tears.
My heart's got no room left inside.

How many dreams will end?
How long can I pretend?
How many times will love pass me by,
Until I find you again?

Will the arms of hope surround me?
Will time be a fairweather friend?
Should I call out to angels,
Or just drink myself sober again?
I can't hide, it's true.
I still burn for you.
Your memory just won't let me go.

How many dreams will end?
How long can I pretend?
How many times will love pass me by,
Until I find you again?

I'd hold you tighter,
Closer than ever before.
Yeah.
No flame would burn brighter,
If I could touch you once more,
Hold you once more!

How many dreams will end?
How long can I pretend?
How many times will love pass me by, until I find you again?
'till I find you again..


7.My Confession

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

Maybe you've noticed how I linger by the door
Looking for ways to hang around
I never felt my moment ever show itself before
But I've got to speak or lose you now

Chorus:

This is my confession
I bare my soul to you
This is my confession
The one thing I can do
How will I ever make you mine
If you don't know that I'm alive
I confess to you
My love for you

He'll never say the words I've rehearsed a million times
Or stop your tears before they fall
He'll never even try to put his thoughts of you in rhymes
His heart is barely there at all

Repeat chorus

I have always believed somehow
I'd be standing right here before you now
Hoping the last breath I take
I take in your arms

Repeat chorus


8.Eternity

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

I was born on the banks of eternity
A page of the history it teaches
Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane
Leaving everything along the way in pieces

Some may have cheered, some may have wondered
If I am flesh, if I am stone
Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder
You are the light that has led me back home

Take me to the river, baby
Wash away the lies
I've got no reputation living in your eyes
Take me to eternity
Let me bury this disguise

A southern boy has it harder sometimes
It's like you were climbing a razor
You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust
And the man in the mirror was a stranger

Look at me now, a soulless survivor
No mask can hide the man that I've made
You ease my pain
Your make it silent
Slowly I feel it beginning to fade

I want to feel it
Rushing over me into the tide
I want to taste it
Every moment 'til the end of my life

I have laid still, adrift in you memory
Hoping your faith would erase all the years
Maybe some time, maybe some magic
Maybe your love will make everything clear

Take me to the river, baby
Wash away the lies
I've got no reputation living in your eyes
Take me to eternity
Let me bury this disguise

Take me to the river, baby
Wash away the lies
There are no expectations hiding in your eyes
Take me to eternity
And let me bury this disguise


9.What's Wrong with That

Lyrics:Richard Marx/Fee Waybill
Music:Richard Marx/Fee Waybill

I may be rotten to the core
And stop me if you think I am
A kid in a candy store
The same as any dirty old man
I know I'm not the first to see
I guarantee I'm not the last

So take some good advice from me
Just try it once before you ask
I hear an enticing voice
(live it up, live it up, do it now, boy)
I don't like the other choice
(live it up, live it up)

Chorus:

What's wrong with that
What's wrong with the fountain of youth
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with a little self delusion

Who you think is foolin' who
And who will be the last to laugh
Here's another lame excuse
You're old enough to be her dad
I've heard all the reasons why
(give it up, give it up, take a powder)
I turn them my blindest eye
(give it up, give it up)

Repeat chorus

What's wrong with that
What's wrong with a flower in bloom
What's wrong with that
What's wrong with a little self delusion

Days don't hide secrets of the heart
Only you and I do
Little white lies rip you right apart
And any way they want to
Life goes by, done before you start
I can't wait around to satisfy you

Chorus out


10.The Image

Lyrics:Richard Marx/Fee Waybill
Music:Richard Marx/Fee Waybill

Hope you don't believe a word
Of all the things I know you've heard about me
Really just a pack of lies
You see the truth before your eyes around me
Hard to keep it straight
The real from the ruse
Probably way too late
What can I do, but it's

*Chorus:

Not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see
It's just the image
It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me
It's just the image

**Would it be too much to ask
That you could just give me the chance to prove it
Or would it only be a waste of time
To try to make you change your mind and use it
What I've been looking for
Isn't what I thought
Not behind the golden door
You're all I've got, and it's

*Repeat Chorus

**Repeat

*Chorus


11.Breathless

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

Never knew love before
Never dreamed there could be something more
Felt my heart overflow
With the danger of needing you so

It's a mystery I can't explain
But I shiver when I hear your name

Chorus:

You are the fire
Every desire
Breathless we fall in love
Love is the answer
We are the dancers
Breathless we fall in love
We fall in love

You've crept into my soul
And I'm ready to lose all control
Let our hearts fill with light
Every moment you make is so right

It's a mystery I can't explain
But I shiver when I hear your name

Chorus:

No need to worry
No need to hurry
Breathless we fall in love
Love is the answer
We are the dancers
Breathless we fall in love
We fall in love

It's a mystery to me I can't explain
But I shiver when I hear your name

Chorus out


12.Miracle

Lyrics:Richard Marx
Music:Richard Marx

It's hard to see reason when there's so little hope alive
But this is the season to put faith in innocent eyes
We're all thinking too much, we're so out of touch
We need to start over again
So just let it wander, 'cause you're never to old to pretend

Chorus:

Tell you, just a little miracle is all you need to believe
Just a little miracle is all you need to believe

It's not too late to wake up
Don't make no difference who you are
Just take off your make-up
And discover the child in your heart

Repeat chorus

We're all thinking too much, we're so out of touch
We need to start over again
So just let it wander
'Cause you're never too old to pretend

Repeat chorus


13.Every Day of Your Life(Chaque Jour De Ta Vie)

Vocal:Richard Marx/Aska

You never really thought you'd live to see the day
When the walls around your heart were blown away.
Just close your eyes, and you will hear me say,
'It's alright.'

The key to everything I need is in your hands.
The part of me that no one understands.
When all my bridges burn, you tell me that,
'It's alright.'

One world, one ride,
One 'til the end of time.
I'll be someone standing by your side,
Every day of your life.

Il ya des jours ou par amour on oublie tout,
(There are some days where by love we forget it all,)
Le fou, les guerres, le chaos, les remous.
(The fire, the wars, the chaos, the currents.)
Rien ne sera jamais plus fort que nous.
(Nothing will ever be as strong as we.)
It's alright.
On a la foi qui peut deplacer les montagnes,
(We have a faith that can move mountains,)
Et nos pensees qui toujours se rejoignent.
(And our thoughts which always come together.)
Tu sait que meme au loin, je t'accompagne.
(You know that even when I'm far away, I'm still with you.)
It's alright.

Yeah, yeah!

J's'rai la pour toi.
(I'll be there for you.)
Tu peux compter sur moi,
(You can count on me,)
Comme un ami que jamais ne t'oublie,
(Like a friend who'll never forget you,)
Chaque jour de ta vie,
(Every day of your life,)
Y'aura en moi,
(Inside of me there will always be)
Toujours un peu de toi.
(A part of you.)
Fidele comme une ombre qui te suit,
(Faithful as a shadow that follows you,)
Chaque jour de ta vie.
(Every day of your life.)

Over and over your heart's been left bare,
Haunted by faith that has led you nowhere.
You don't need to call out my name,
'Cause I am always there!
Always there!
Yeah!


J's'rai la pour toi.
(I'll be there for you.)
Tu peux compter sur moi,
(You can count on me,)
Comme un ami que jamais ne t'oublie,
(Like a friend who'll never forget you,)
Chaque jour de ta vie.
(Every day of your life.)

Yeah, yeah.

Y'aura en moi,
(Inside of me there will always be)
Toujours un peu de toi.
(A part of you.)
Fidele comme une ombre qui te suit,
(Faithful as a shadow that follows you,)
Chaque jour de ta vie.
(Every day of your life.)

Chaque jour de ta vie!
One like the earth and the sky!!
Chaque jour de ta vie!!


14.Too Shy To Say

You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me feel good, everything

You bring me up
When I've been down
This only happens when you're around

Chorus:

And I can't go on this way
With it stronger every day
But being too shy to say
I really love you

I wanna fly
Away with you
Until there's nothing left for us to do

I wanna be
More than a friend
Until the end of an endless end

Chorus x 2


15.Every Day of Your Life(Richard Solo)

When all my bridges burn, you tell me that,
'It's alright.'
