Lyrics

1. IF YOU WERE A WOMAN (AND A WAS A MAN)

How's it feel to be a woman
How's it feel to be a man
Are we really that different
Tell me where you stand
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another way
Oh baby for just one day.

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart to heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man.

How's it feel to be the hunter
How's it feel to be the prey
Is there really a reason
For this game we play
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another way
Oh darling, just one day.

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart to heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man.

Hey, we're just two people trying to love
Oh but how, how can we love
With this wall between us, holding us back.


2. UNDER SUSPICION

I put my trust in you
Cause I'm not the suspicious kind
But it seems to me that there's someone on your mind
Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe there's some mistake
But I won't take any chances, I'm watching every move you Make
I never felt so scared and helpless before
I wish I could believe in you, but I just gotta be sure.

You're under suspicion
All the time
You're under suspicion
All the time Yeah.

When we talk I can see you can't look me straight in the eye
What's all the secrecy, you've got me wondering why
Is there someone you met, to make you regret your decision
How could you forget all our plans and all our ambitions
Don't try to pull the wool right over my eyes
You think you're pretty smart, but I can see right through your disguise.

You're under suspicion
All the time, time, yeah
You're under suspicion
All the time oh.


3. STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreaming
And that's straight from the heart.

You said it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Coming straight from the heart.

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart.

I'll see you on the street some other time
But all our words will just fall out of line
While we're dreaming
Straight from the heart.

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart.

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart.

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart.

You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart.

You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart.

2. HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need.

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life.

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet.

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me.

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood.

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life.
