I'll take you down to a place you've never been
A heart in the city you have never seen
Your wine will last all night
behind those neon lights
just take me by the hand, here we go...

Run Run Run

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

Go! Go! - She wants you every time that you pass her by
Go! Go! - And wishing you could stay with her by her side
Go! Go! - You got a piece of her heart, now, you shouldn't refuse
Go! Go! - You came out to win, now you're bound to lose

She's gonna run run run
'cos here you go and break her heart
She's gonna run run run
before you start to tear it apart

Go! Go! - Fire in your eyes, a new love is burning
Go! Go! - But she's not gonna be there when it comes to returning
Go! Go! - She's dreaming alone in this lonely world
Go! Go! - You give all you got to another girl

She's gonna run run run...

Break Another Heart

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

You want the beating of another man's heart
You want that face to tear us apart, oh baby
You want that love to take you high in the sky
I watch you fly with tears in my eyes
now this is the end, this is really goodbye...

Break another heart, find another fool
Take another heart, run and treat it cruel
Go break another heart into pieces, baby baby
Well I don't want to know and I don't want to stay
Go cry to someone else, I will walk away
Go break another heart into pieces, baby baby - not mine!

I hold a woman I don't know anymore
I kiss the lips I've kissed a million times before
I love that body but it don't feel the same
You play the part in another man's game
Oh baby, baby - this love is in vain...

Break another heart...

Thinking 'bout all of the nights I held you so tight
Two young hearts in the heat of the night together, side by side...

Break another heart...

Teaser Japanese

As my hair is touching your shoulders
red winds are singing all over town (In Japanese)

Oriental! Hey-Ho!
She's gonna be there climbing the stair
Flag waving up in the air
She's gonna be there, jungle somewhere...
And boy - Take your eyes away from her
And boy - Lay them on another girl

She's a Teaser Japanese
She's a Teaser Japanese
She's a Teaser Japanese
And boy - You're gonna get burned

Queen of Arts! Hey-Ho!
Eyes of black meet eyes of blue
Beast and Beauty, wave goodbye
Sayonara Moon up in the sky
And boy - Take your eyes away from her...

I wish to say many things - but you are not here
I want to ask you a lot - but you are not here
You promised to be back soon
was it only to comfort me?
I do want to see you again
I beg you to return to me (in Japanese)

And boy - Take your eyes away from her...

Another Place, Another Time

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

Time... Time...
Time - so close that I can touch you, give me
Time - so near that I can breathe you, give me
Time - I don't know why I feel like surrender

Chains - The feeling of the feelings still
remains - You're much too old to keep on playing
games - I don't know why I feel like surrender

And it's a strange feeling, strange feeling
I feel inside
And it's a strange beating, strange beating
in this heart of mine
I got to run, I got to hide
another place, another time

Time - A chill is slowly rolling down my
spine - And suddenly I lose the grip on
time - the time and the space of time

And it's a strange feeling...

Demon Emptiness

Words by Per Gessle, Music by Per Gessle & MP Persson
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

Think about you
Think about me
And the way that things are going
And the way it used to be

It used to be me
Yes, it used to be me
But I don't know anymore
who's got your precious key

Oh Sweet tenderness
in the middle of the night when I need it
you show me
Oh Demon Emptiness
when I want to give you my love

I know a heart (hear the beating of my heart)
that's trying to keep (keep on calling)
and hold on to those moments
when it feels like a fantasy

When it used to be me
and it used to be you
but then, I guess, there were winter
out of the blue

Oh Sweet tenderness...

One part of me
just can't go on
The other one is in love...

Oh Sweet tenderness...

Dreaming

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

Hot summer night
The art of make-believe
The treasure behind closed doors
The hunter behind the trees
- Radiowaves thru the air
Can you hear me calling?

Oh I've been dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming of a woman in white

The sound from the street
The smell of sweet perfume
My breath inside of you
hits an electric room
- Radiowaves thru the air
Can you hear me calling?

Oh I've been dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming of a woman in white

When Love's On The Phone (You Just Have To Answer)

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

Some situations need a little heart
A tenderness that's hard to understand
The falling in love for a start
can easily turn to the fall of a man
You can't run and hide even if you want to
Things must be done that should be done
You can't run and hide when love's got you tangled
up on a tightrope your heart's on the run

When love's on the phone you just have to answer
There's no way you can hang up
When love's on the phone you just have to answer
Well, are you ready to fall in love?

And everybody needs a reason
could be a dream of fire and ice
And you and me, we need each other
need to be on each other's minds
Yes, some situations need a little heart
to take to the sea with the sails unfurled
The falling in love for a start
can easily turn to the fall of a girl

When love's on the phone...

Can You Touch Me?

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

Do you need it more than I do
whenever we meet when we've been apart?
Yea, I need a hand to hold on to
need to hear every beat of your heart
And when we're dancing close together
and the music turns real slow
there's one thing on my mind
I just want to know...

Can you feel, can you see, can you touch me?
Can I give you the love that's inside of me?
Can I take your heart with me?
Do you know me enough to give it all up?

And the beat goes on forever
boy meet a girl and they fall in love
And we're walking home together
Time, only time - oh there isn't enough!
And when we're making love together
and you let your feelings show
there's one thing on my mind
I just got to know...

Can you feel, can you see, can you touch me?...

Even If It Hurts (It's Alright)

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

Maybe I want more of everything
of everything that you got
And maybe I want more than enough
of your love, your sweet sweet love

But come on and leave me
and run through the night
'cos even if it hurts - it's alright!
Yea, come on and leave me
and do what you like
'cos even if it hurts - it's alright!

Take what you want, take what you need
There's something I'll miss but I won't let it show
'cos it's a girl that I used to know
A girl with a heart but it left long ago

So come on and leave me...

Heartland Café

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1984 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

I'll take you down to a place you've never been
A heart in the city you have never seen
Your wine will last all night behind those neon lights
just take me by the hand, here we go...

Down at the Heartland Café
you're making friends that'll dream along
Heartland Café the lights are always bright
And right before your eyes she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more

Yes, come in from the night and say goodbye to the pouring rain
Win a few games, have a few laughs and forget why you came
Let time just slip away and I'll swear that someday you'll trade
your tomorrows for one single yesterday

Down at the Heartland Café
you're making friends that'll play along
Heartland Café you can feel at ease
And gentle as a breeze she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more

Winners and losers, we're all in the same show
Running and running again any way the wind will blow
If you like we can talk all night until the morning light
or turn the card and ask for a song

Down at the Heartland Café you're making friends that'll run along
Heartland Café you're gonna have a good time
And for a nickel or a dime she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more...

Kiss From a Stranger

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published 1990 by Music for Money/Inhouse Music

Anyone who ever had a heart
Should know what it's like
Anyone who ever been in love
Should know what it's like
I've made up my mind
I've made up my mind

'Cause it feels like the first time
I steal a kiss from a stranger... yeah

Two people shouldn't be alone
And girl, we're running out of time
I gotta know what's inside a woman's heart
And inside of mine
You've made up my mind
You've made up my mind

'Cause it feels like the first time
I steal a kiss from a stranger

Just a motion away
Just a motion away

You've made up my mind
You've made up my mind

'Cause it feels like the first time
Yes it feels like the first time
Feels like the first time
I steal a kiss from a stranger... mmm, baby!

Kiss from a stranger
Kiss from a stranger...
