You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice
Someday you'll pay the price, I know

I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind

You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay

You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise
But someday you'll pay the price, I know

I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind

You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay

(Cold as ice)
You know that you are
Cold (Cold) as (as) ice
As cold as ice to me
Cold (Cold cold) as (as as) ice

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, you're as cold as ice)
(You're as cold as ice...)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as ice...)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as ice...)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as ice...)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as ice...)
Oh, yes I know
(Cold as ice...)
(You're as cold as ice...)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as ice...)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as ice...)
Oh, yes I know
(Cold as ice...)

Urgent

You're not shy you get around
You wanna fly don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up you won't come down
You wanna live you wanna move to the sound
Got fire in your veins
Burnin' hot but you don't feel the pain
Your desire is insane
You can't stop until you do it again
Sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes
Maybe you're thinking of some other guy
But I know yes I know how to treat you right
That's why you call me in the middle of the night

You say it's urgent
So urgent
I know it's urgent
I try and tell you it's the same for me
Oo-ooh emergency
Yeah urgent
So urgent
Just you wait and see
How urgent our love can be
It's urgent

You play tricks on my mind
You're everywhere but you're so hard to find
You're not warm or sentimental
You're so extreme you can be so temperamental
But I'm not looking for a love that will last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah there's one thing in common that we both share
That's a need for each other anytime, anywhere

It gets so urgent
So urgent
I know it's urgent
I try and tell you it's the same for me
Oo-ooh emergency
Yeah urgent
So urgent
Just you wait and see
How urgent our love can be
It's urgent

You say it's urgent
Make it fast make it urgent
Do it quick do it urgent
Gotta rush make it urgent
Want it quick make it urgent
Urgent urgent emergency (4 x's)
So urgent emergency

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
Saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beatup six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started rockin' ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
Someday he's gonna make it to the top

And be a juke box hero got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero
He took one guitar stars in his eyes
Juke box hero he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep rockin' he just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin' that boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke box hero got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero stars in his eyes
Yeah juke box hero got stars in his eyes
With that one guitar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight

So long...
I've been looking too hard I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone (2 x's)
It feels so right so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong...
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
A love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
(Yeah) Waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life

You're so good...
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone
Yeah really love someone
Now, I know it's right
From the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's no place on earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you, tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
And a love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
Yeah waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
