Well I finally got my wish to work in New York city, It isn't everything that I hoped it would be, I while away the lonely hours, gazing at the city towers, Wondering if there isn't someone in there just for me, Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?...

Amado mio. Amado mio, amame para siempre, love me forever, Y que esta noche, and let forever, sea para siempre, be tonight, Amado mio, amado mio, amame para siempre, love me forever, Y que este amor, and let forever, comience ahora, begin right now. Ama...

C'est une chanson, Qui nous ressemble, Toi qui m'aimais, Et je t'aimais, Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble, Toi qui m'aimais, Moi qui t'aimais, Mais la vie separe, Ceux qui s'aiment, Tout doucement, Sans faire de bruit, Et la mer efface sur le sable, les pa...

Got to go with his stance, got to take my big chance, got to do it. Got to thake my big chance, got to go with his stance, got to groove it. I'll accept no challenges you send, One thing you cannot hit, Below the Belt  

It's all right if you love me, It's all right if you don't, I'm not afraid of you running away honey, I get the feeling you won't. There's no sense in pretending, your eyes ggive you away Something inside you, is feeling like I do, We've said all there is the...

How long before we see we have broken those chains, just like the bird that sings it in the dream baby we are born free, Oh now, I wan't you to know now we are in charge of our own destiny, Freedom is only but a state of mind, you've got to leave them shackles...

"Grace Jones has a sense of humour?" "Sure, can't you tell?"
