HANDS TIED
Writers: Holly Knight/ Mike Chapman
Darling, darling, darling,
I`ll never understand
how sometimes just the way you look at me
Can tear up my heart
but then again
Darling, darling, darling
Don`t look across the room
Cos you might just catch me looking at you
Should we know what to say
Or what to do
So hold on don`t turn away
There must be a hundred things
We forgot to say
How can we touch
With our hands tied
When only you know how much
You keep me satisfied
How can we explain
This ball of flame locked up inside
With our hands tied
Darling, darling, darling
If you think this love is blind
Just remember
Each time you squeeze her hand you crush my heart
Oh and you just could be driving me out of my mind
Darling, darling, darling
I`ll never let it show
But as long as you go on leaving me
I fall apart each time you go
So hold on
Don`t take my heart away
She may be one good reason to leave
but I’m a hundred reasons to stay
How can we touch
With our hands tied
When only you know how much
You keep me satisfied
How can we explain
This ball of flame locked up inside
With our hands tied

THE WARRIOR
Writers: Holly Knight/ Nick Gilder
You run run run away
It’s your heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you’re not so civilized
Well, isn’t love primitive
a wild gift that you wanna give
Break out of captivity
Follow me stereo jungle child
Love is the kill
and your heart’s still wild
Shooting at the walls of heartache bang, bang
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
Heart to heart you win if you survive
The Warrior the Warrior
You talk, talk talk to me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me, we’ll take the night
As passion takes another bite
Who’s the hunter who’s the game
Feel the beat call your name
I hold you close in victory
I don’t wanna tame your animal style
you won’t be caged in the call of the wild
Shooting at the walls of heartache
bang bang
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
Heart to heart you win if you survive
The Warrior the Warrior
