Riding high, then shot down
I load my guns to fire another round
I look deep into your eyes
And can’t run there’s nowhere left to hide
Don’t stop, no it’s much too late
When the night comes I can’t wait
Oh I live, love to loose control
It makes me crazy I want to let you know
Oh, no, I don’t want to fall
Oh, oh, can’t you hear me calling
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I’m the one
When I’m next to you, next to you
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me
I got to get to you, get to you, get to you
There’s a thrill, in the chase
We won’t lose when we meet face to lace
Love, games, a means without an end
I go down but I’ll be back again
Through the night with no retreat
When you’re with me in my sleep
Oh, no, I don’t want to fall
Oh, oh, can’t you hear me calling
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I’m the one
When I’m next to you, next to you
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me
I got to get to you, get to you, get to you
I can see you
I feel you every night
I need you
But I’m only dreaming
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I’m the one
When I’m next to you, next to you
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me
