10CC Lyrics

Don't lyrics - 10cc

If you want love to stay
Don't give all your secrets away
It's not the fashion
But hold back your passion

Don't - open your heart, no
Don't - share all your dreams in one night, no
Don't - tell the whole story
Why should you hurry?

You don't want love to leave
So don't wear your heart on your sleeve
It's not a crime to
Give her some time and

Don't - drive her away, no
Don't - love isn't built in a day, no
Don't - let it grow stronger
Feed in the hunger

Hold back your passion

You're not an open book
So don't let her take just one look
Under the cover
Let her discover

Don't - stop the surprising, no
Don't - take all the mystery out of it, no
Don't - put out the fire
Kill her desire

Don't - open your heart, no
Don't - share all your dreams in one night, no
Don't - tell the whole story
Why should you hurry?

Don't -
Don't -
Don't -

Don't Squeeze Me Like Toothpaste lyrics - 10cc

I treat you like a woman
So treat me like a man
I took you to a better place
And helped you understand

[CHORUS]
So don't squeeze me like toothpaste
Like putty in your hands
I'm gonna go away, I'm gonna blow away

A woman is a woman
And a man is just a fool
It takes all of the heartaches
And life can be so cruel

[CHORUS]

Who's gonna be there when the morning comes?
Head on the pillow, smiling at me
I get up and make the coffee
It must be love, it must be love

Who's gonna be there when the morning comes?
Head on the pillow, smiling at me
I get up and make the coffee
It must be love, it must be love

I treat you like a woman
So treat me like a man
I took you to a better place
And helped you understand

[CHORUS]

Get It While You Can lyrics - 10cc

You've got to get it while you can
Time and time we've gone no man
Tomorrow will become today
It's there to take it if you try
Everybody's having fun
So why be the one
Who's out in the cold

Don't let the future pass you by
Go ahead and give it a try
You've got to fight for number one
You see the story's just begun
Everybody's having fun
So why be the one
Who's got to be told

By the time you get to something
You'll see the writing on the wall
You're living in the land of maybe
Tomorrow never comes at all

From times remembered and the times in between
You'll find you're living your life in a dream

Good News lyrics - 10cc

Something to begin with
That's easy said than done
You'll see me rolling home
But I don't understand why
Still there's nothing at all

Time is on my side
But we mustn't let our disappointment show
But I will, and you will go on

All I need is some good news (some good news)
All I need is some good news (just some good news)
To put me on my feet (to put me on my feet)
To put me at my ease (at my ease)
All I need is some good news (all I need is some good news)
All I need is some good news (some good news)
To put me at my ease (to put me at my ease)
All I need is some good news

All I need is some good news (just gimme me some good news)
All I need is some good news (some good news)
To put me at my ease (to put me at my ease)
To put me on my feet (on my feet, on my feet)
All I need is some good news (all I need is some good news)
All I need is some good news (all I need is some good news)
All I need is some good news

All I need is some good news (all I need is good news)
To put me on my ease (to put me at my ease)
To put me on my feet (on my feet, on my feet)
All I need is some good news (good news)
All I need is some good news (some good news)
All I need is some good news (good news)
All I need is some good news

Hot To Trot lyrics - 10cc

She had a shake like a belly dancer
and a body like a tiger tiger (uh huh, uh huh)
She was looking at me

Now you know that I ain't no dancer
But there's gotta be a way to meet her
So I just walked up to her and said
Are you hot to trot?

Well I knew I was looking cool
Pretty sharp like a razor razor (uh huh, uh huh)
She was smiling at me

So I said if you got the notion
We could take a little trip to the ocean
She said that'll be OK
'Cause I'm hot to trot

We were having a ball by the water
Talking about life and philosophizing (uh huh, uh huh)
She was really talking to me

She said I can't understand why you gotta hustle
Struttin' and posin' and flexin' muscle
So I said, well that's easy baby
I'm hot to trot

I'm So Laid Back, I'm Laid Out lyrics - 10cc

The people were running
The place was on fire
The smoke was a-growing
And the flames were getting higher

The fire chief was shouting
As he knocked down my door
He said you better move your butt boy
Or you'll knock on heaven's door

I'm so laid back, I'm laid out
I'm so caved in and spaced out
I'm wired to the teeth
I'm fused to the floor
So baby don't you bug me no more
Don't you bug me no more

The rent needing paying
The insurance was due
The roof needing fixing
And the rain was coming through

But the forecast is sunny
So I'll stay here on my back
Tomorrow is another day
It's cozy in the sack

I'm so laid back, I'm laid out
I'm so caved in and spaced out
I'm wired to the teeth
I'm fused to the floor
So baby don't you bug me no more
Don't you bug me no more

There were times when you wanted to be number one
And the glamour and the glitter were turning him on
But he realized that it was better to be number two (ooh)

My luxury is living
'Cause I can't afford to die
I'm a diletantic mother
With a twinkle in my eye

Let the others do the running
I'm content to take a cut
Percentages are burning
And I'm happy in my rut

I'm so laid back, I'm laid out
I'm so caved in and spaced out
I'm wired to the teeth
I'm fused to the floor
So baby don't you bug me no more
Don't you bug me no more
No more, no more, no more, [etc.]

Lost In Love lyrics - 10cc

A far bit beyond this place
All the stars have been cast
You may try to resist the pace
But it's happening too fast
The desire is so strong
Yeah you got to concede
There's no way to escape from the trap
We are slaves to our needs

And we're lost in love
(Y'say) We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
And we're lost in love
(Say it) We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay together
Whoa, heart to heart, forever
Whoa, heart to heart, together
Whoa, heart to heart
Heart to heart

The stage has been set tonight
And the die has been cast
Curtain up and the music begins
Oh the audience cares???
Tragedy is feelin'
For the rest of your days
Nothing will ever compare to the thrill of the stage

And we're lost in love
(I'm sayin') We're lost in our love and we can't find a way (baby, baby)
Lost in love (no, no)
(Sayin') We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay together
Whoa, heart to heart, forever
Whoa, heart to heart, together
Whoa, heart to heart
Heart to heart

Curtain will fall at the end of the day
Guardian angels will kill for their pay
Impossible dreams have to end
Let the crowd disappear, we've got nothing to fear

We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Lost in love
Lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Lost in love
Lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Lost in love
Lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Together, whoa
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Together, whoa
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Together, whoa

Man With A Mission lyrics - 10cc

There's a man at the top
And I know that he's pulling the strings
He's got his eye in the sky
And I know that he sees everything
There's a bug on the phone
Got his eye on the fly on the wall
But the man in the street doesn't know
'till the guillotine falls

Then he drops before you realize
Bullets hit you right between the eyes

I'm a man with a mission
Got my foot in the door
I'm the man with a mission
And I'm breaking the arm of the law

There's a voice in the air
And you welcome it into your home
But the snake in the grass
Is the power behind the throne
While you sit in your castle
The enemy's scaling the wall
If you don't make a sound
There'll be no one to answer your call

The evidence is there in black and white
Your number's up for grabs if you don't fight

I'm a man with a mission
Got my foot in the door
I'm the man with a mission
And I'm breaking the arm of the law

I'm a man with a mission
got an ace up my sleeve
I'm the man with a mission
And your trapped in the web that I weave

Open your eyes - see the lies while you dance in the dirt
Open your eyes - to the lies while you still got a chance
Open your mind - and you find that you're locked in a trance
Stars in your eyes - they make you blind this is not a romance

The evidence is there in black and white
How long will it take you to see the light?

I'm a man with a mission
Got my foot in your door
I'm the man with a mission
And I'm breaking the arm of the law

I'm a man with a mission
got an ace up my sleeve
I'm the man with a mission
And your trapped in the web that I weave I'm a man with a mission
Yeh, I'm a man with a mission
Ooh, I'm a man with a mission
I'm a man with a mission

Nothing Can Move Me lyrics - 10cc

There's talk about some people
That maybe you know
The heroes and the villains
And the places that they know

The highest and the finest
The lowest of the low
Just stop and get it through you
There's somewhere you can go

Tell you what I do when I'm lonely
I'll tell you what I do when I'm blue
Tell you what I do when I'm lonely
I close my eyes and think about you

[CHORUS]
('Cause) nothing can move me like my rock n roll
Nothing can blow me away
Nothing can move me like my rock n roll do
Nothing can move
Nothing can move
Nothing can move me away

You wake up in the morning
The wrong side of the bed
The spirit that was in you
is hammering your head

You crawl up to your hi fi
Select a side or two
Sharpen up your needle
and feel it coming through

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

Only Child 10cc

I never had a little sister
No brother to tell my troubles to
My nights were oh so sad and lonely
Until the day that I met you

Some people say it isn't healthy
To be the only one around
That's why I get a little edgy
Don't want to lose what I have found
'Cause I'm an only child

You are the light at the end of the tunnel
You are the sun and the moon and sky
You are my sister mother lover
Without you, babe, I'm gonna die

Some people say it isn't healthy
To be the only one around
That's why I get a little edgy
Don't want to lose what I have found
'Cause I'm an only child

Runaway lyrics - 10cc

Remember I'm the one who didn't have a lot to say
I was trying to find the courage, but I let you walk away
And I can't forget your face, y'know it haunts me all the time
And it seems to me you're living in a dream

[CHORUS]
Wish we could run away, and we could be alone together
Far away, and leave the world behind
Runaway, what I want to say is
You're a part of me, let me be a part of you

Want to tell you what I'm thinking, but the words get in the way
When I'm sitting here alone I find the things I meant to say
If I wrote them in a letter, would you read between the lines
Would you understand how much I really care

[CHORUS]

(I) I love you
(Need) I need you
(You) Don't want to live without you

If I'm backward counting forward, would you help me realize
All the answers to the questions I've been asking with my eyes
I could hand you all the cliches, but you've heard them all before
And I want to say I love you in my own way

[CHORUS]

And could we run away...

[CHORUS]

The Power Of Love

Momma don't mind, cause your momma don't know
But if your poppa finds out that we're all alone
He's gonna change your mind and rearrange my bones

Cause the power of love is like a tidal wave
It can pick you up and knock you on the floor
make you do the things you never done before

Don't imagine that you're free
There's no escaping from reality
You're under the spell, under the power of love

Turn the lights down low (lights down low)
And the hi fi high (hi fi high)
Put the lock on the door, pull the curtains too
Don't want the world to know, I'm getting close to you

Well you never see it (never see it)
But you sure can feel it (sure can feel it)
And if you get the taste, you get the hunger pains
You'll be hooked for life, never be the same

Everybody's gonna see
There's no escaping from the mystery
You're under the spell, under the power of love

The power of love (power of love)
The power of love (power of love)
The power of love (power of love)

So you're sitting in a restaurant
And you feel so nonchalant
When the waiter says "what'll it be"
You start to speak, then suddenly
A pretty girl walks 'cross the floor
You ain't thinking 'bout food - no more

'Cause the power of love is like a tidal wave
It can pick you up and knock you on the floor
make you do the things you never done before

Don't imagine that you're free
There's no escaping from reality
You're under the spell, under the power of love

The power of love (power of love)
The power of love (power of love)
The power of love (power of love)

The Secret Life Of Henry lyrics - 10cc

Early morning
I'm still yawning
Kiss the children
See you tonight dear
Cheerio

Henry's an angel when he closes the gate
But to the station he don't want to be late
His manner changes as he steps on the train
Beneath his bowler (hat) lies a schizophrenic brain
Oh he wants to flirt and Yes he's looking up the skirts

He want to meddle with a body
He want to tamper with your mind
Sooner or later
He's gonna rip us his paper
He's gonna bring his fantasy
Out of the closet and into reality

Henry's a devil when he get to this job
Won't take a break, he want to get to the top
No getting credit when the credit is due
He wants the glory and he'll crucify you

Ten years, no promotion
Now he's gonna make them sit up (sit up)
He's been the brain behind the business
So, shut up (shut up)
And put your money where you mouth is

Sooner or later
He's gonna take the computer
And take the information
He'll make a killing in the city
And they'll never, never, never ever know

All alone
Sitting in his zanzibar
Dreamin' and schemin'
A plan of action but he won't get very far
Another skin-full
Two more tequilas and he'll rule the world
This is a rat-trap (mere existence)
He's really losing face (resistance)
I hear he's headin' for disaster
The fool will never beat the master now

It's very late, he staggers back to the shop
There's something wrong if he's not back on the dot
It's so astounding as he falls through the door
He takes his lunch and passes out on the floor
Oh it's not his fashion
Usually keeps his passion hidden (hidden)
They'll never see him in the same way
Driven (driven)
He won't forget the things he did today

Sooner or later
He's gonna rip us his paper
He's gonna bring his fantasy
Out of the closet and into reality

Hello darlin'
How's your day been?
Can't complain dear
Same as usual

Tomorrow's World Today lyrics - 10cc

I'll tell you something you oughta know
We came a long way from the radio
But what's wrong with that?
Baby's what's wrong with that?

Now we got microchips, sci fi flicks
We got tomorrow's world today

Now there's something that I gotta say
Do you remember only yesterday
We had Blue Suede Shoes
Yeh, and we had Howard Hughes

Now we got holograms, CB hams
We got tomorrow's world today

At a time when the world is changing
Faster than ever before
Don't lose sight of the human touch
'Cause we ain't seen nothing yet
Oh no, we ain't seen nothing yet, uh huh

Now the children of the future
May take a trip to Mars
They might meet the Space Invaders on their way
'Cause we ain't seen nothing yet
Oh no, we ain't seen nothing yet, uh huh

Wish I had a calculator when I was at school
I was a simple mathematical fool
But now all that's changed
Yeh, we got computer games

And we got transplants, sperm banks
and body scanners
All there to help us survive
So we should think we're lucky
We got tomorrow's world today

Waterfall lyrics - 10cc

Gonna meet you on the corner
Gonna take you out of town
Out to where the grass is greener
And no one can be found

Gonna be there in the morning
Gonna take you by the hand
Gonna get out of the city
Gonna get back to the land

Waterfall, and it's fallin' down on me
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down
But it ain't gonna let me be

Gonna be there in the morning
Gonna take you by the hand
Gonna get out of the city
Gonna get back to the land

Waterfall, and it's fallin' down on me
Waterfall, and it's fallin' down
But it ain't gonna let me be

Hey, Waterfall
Hey, Waterfall
Hey, Waterfall

We've Heard It All Before lyrics - 10cc

Einstein, he said, nothings original
Find something new, That's easy for him to say
Took his whole life explaining his theory
Try squeezing your life into 3 minute songs like

"My love, your face is a symphony
You play the strings of my heart
Say that we never shall part
If you say goodbye, then I'll surely die without you"

Oh, we've heard it all before
Oh, we've heard it all before
Don't wanna hear it anymore
We've heard it, We've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, We've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, We've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, We've heard it (oy)

We've come a long way from mono to stereo
Mozart would freak at the crap on the radio
Hits are produced by computer technology
Stick it in one end and it comes out the other

"My love, your face is a symphony
You play the strings of my heart
Say that we never shall part
If you say goodbye, then I'll surely die without you"

Oh, we've heard it all before
Oh, we've heard it all before
Don't wanna hear it anymore
We've heard it, We've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, We've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, We've heard it (oy)
We've heard it, We've heard it (oy)

You plug us in and we regurgitate the hits
Bombard your senses with sound of microchips
Program it digitally into the top five
Brainwash your ears, is it tape or is it live?...live, live, live..

Oh, we've heard it all before (We've heard it, we've heard it)
Oh, we've heard it all before (We've heard it, we've heard it)
Oh, we've heard it all before (We've heard it, we've heard it)
Oh, we've heard it all before (We've heard it, we've heard it)
Oh, we've heard it all before (We've heard it, we've heard it)
Don't wanna hear it anymore

You're Coming Home Again lyrics - 10CC

Baby, baby, don't you make a sound
All I'm asking of you is to understand
I can't let you go
When are you coming home again?

It's so easy to be cold and proud
We should talk it over, we should shout it out
I can't let you go, no no no
When are you coming home again?

I never dreamed that you would go away
When we had a quarrel we could find a way
But I woke up this morning and I knew it
You were gone

It's no party when you realize
That you're on your own, nobody hears you cry
You can't believe it, oh baby
When are you coming home again?

I've been foolish and I brought you down
But I'll make it better, won't you hold me close
I won't let you go, no no no
When you come home again

I'm no poet, but I tell you so
You're the woman I care for, won't you ever know
I won't let you go, no no no
When you come home again

I can feel that you'll be coming around
If I hold on to you, can we make it right
I love you so, baby
You're coming home again
You're coming home again
You're coming home again
You're coming home again
