OBSESSIONS
By
Bee Gees

***************

It happened in the middle of the night
When I thought I had control
Didn’t want to be the one to fight
Didn’t want to lose my soul
I was up for something more
Never thought I’d get it started
Paralyzed, polarized, hung on every word
I’m in love with the world inside
I don’t have a right to follow you
Or have a license to get closer
A love that won’t be denied
For you are something like I’ve never seen
I’m a man whose heart is crying
Just another one of my obsessions
You don’t want to be a special toy
I never be the one to hurt you
Like every other girl and boy
Just another little indiscretion
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody
Want to make your mountains high
Want to take your valley low
There’s a moral to my story
Let me in and close the door
Until the morning light
What I’d give to live inside you
Make me wait, we separate
But only to return
Whisper and I’ll be there
I don’t want you to beg me to stop
I just want to drown in your desire
Love is for those who dare
All the cream is rising to the top
And it’s the love you save from dying
Just another one of my obsessions
Something I could never find
It’s the kind of love that makes your heart
Feel obsessed with mine
Any battle for the one possession
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody
Just another one of my obsessions
You don’t want to be a special toy
I never be the one to hurt you
Like every other girl and boy
Just another little indiscretion
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody
Just another one of my obsessions
Something I could never find
It’s the kind of love that makes your heart
Feel obsessed with mine
Any battle for the one possession
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody
Just another one of my obsessions
You don’t want to be a special toy
I never be the one to hurt you
Like every other girl and boy
Just another little indiscretion
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody

ONE

***************

I feel my heartbeat,
When you run your fingers through my hair.
(Yeah) I can feel you,
I can feel you by my side when you’re not there.
(Yeah) Just as my life fades to darkness
You you make me see the light.
Show me that my search is over
I pay the price, I pay the price.

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.

The taste of love is sweet like honey on the vine,
Like the wind that feeds the fire, two souls become entwined.
Someday baby you and I should be one, one.

So I’m standing ’round this corner
Tall enough to touch the New York sky, oh yes
My love is so blind
I just cannot hear or see the world go by, oh yes
Someone can love so completely
One kiss should break the seal
Truth can be stranger than fiction
This love is real
This love is real.

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.

Ah we are one, we are one.

I will follow
Count on me, I’ll never let you down, oh yes
My devotion
If love is like an ocean I will surely drown, oh yes
You’ll be my only possession
I’ll be a slave to you
We hold the power together
Just me and you
Just me and you.

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.
Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.

(You know my life is in your hands,
And every breath you take is planned
And all this love goes on forever.)

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it someday Baby, you and I should be one, one…

THE WAY IT WAS

***************

I don’t know how, but nights get lonely now
They keep appearing in my eyes
Such a warm and tender glow
For just one moment I remember all
The love we had was never all that bad
There were smiles and there were tears
On that special starry night, with your arms around me
Held on tight

Wasn’t that the way it was?
Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause
Wasn’t that the love we shared?
Or just the restless years when no-one cared

I don’t know why, it’s hard to say goodbye
Or even justify the end
You meant so very much to me
Then to let you go, start my life again
The love we had was never all that bad
There were smiles and there were tears
Till that special summer day
When I reached out for you, you just walked away

Wasn’t that the way it was?
Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause
Wasn’t that the love we shared?
Or just the restless years when no-one cared

When you move it like you really know how to move me
I follow you wherever you go
I just wan

SOLDIERS

***************

I memorize, I walk in line
carry my sacrifice for the sake of the millions
All night you be the light on the water
You be the pride and the sorrow
Shower your love to me there

Summer died before the rain
Unify every soul together be lonely
Ride on follow me to the sunrise
Save me the world that is broken
Nothing but love to be there

Soldiers, father and son
We’re soldiers, nowhere to run
We fight or we die
For what are we livin’ for?
Boys never cry
Soldiers, mother and child
We’re soldiers ,the meek and the mild
We stand or we fall

Never mind,dry your eyes
You’ll never be far away
Forever beside me
Hold out, I will be your tomorrow
I will walk through the fire
Nothing but love to be there

Soldiers, father and son
We’re soldiers,nowhere to run
We fight or we die
For what are we living’ for
Boys never cry
Soldiers, mother and child
We’re soldiers, the meek and the mild
We stand or we fall

I’m a little misunderstood
living all the daydreams and nightmares
don’t do me no good
I’m a little bit on the moon
But when the word is – you love me
No moment is too soon

All night give me the light on the water
Give me the pride and the sorrow
Showing your love to me there

Soldiers, father and son
We’re soldiers,nowhere to run
We fight or we die
For what are we livin’for?
Boys never cry
Soldiers, mother and child
We’re soldiers, the meek and the mild
We stand or we fall

Soldiers, father and son
We’re soldiers, nowhere to run
We fight or we die
For what are we livin’ for?
Boys never cry

ONE MINUTE WOMAN

***************

One minute, women ,please,
I’d go down on my knees
to say to you with a word so true
“I love you”

I fail to understand
why you don’t want my hand
I try to find what’s on your mind
I wonder

Why don’t you stop and see
Why you’re not loving me:
Would it hurt to say “Hello”
or don’t you know?

One minute, women, please,
I’d go down on my knees
to say to you with a word so true
“I love you”

Why don’t you stop and see
why you’re not loving me:
Would it hurt to say “Hello”
or don’t you know?

One minute, women,please,
I’d go down on my knees
to say to you with a word so true
“I love you, I love you. I love you.”

LOVE ME

***************

I remember times my love when we really had it all
You were always there to make me smile, help me when I fall
Ooh, I can’t believe you’re leaving me
When there’s so much more to say – I can’t let you go
Ooh , ev’ry time I look at you I still can feel the glow
Let it be, let it grow

Love me , please , just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me , please , just a little bit harder

All I ever wanted was to have you to myself
Then I see you standing there in the arms of someone else
You know a man can stand so much
And it’s more then I can bear – I can’t let you go
Ooh, ev’ry time I look at you I still can feel the glow
Let it be , let it grow

Love me , please, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me , please, just a little bit harder

Never even try to see things her way
It’s hard on a woman when love ain’t no love at all
And when she walks away (no no) – and she probably will
You’re gonna be sorry, begging her , please

Love me , please, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me , please, just a little bit harder

I think I can work it out
I can’t get enough
I want you tomorrow

Love me , please, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me , please, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
