When I've had enough
A little voice inside
It says you've got to be tough
You've got to take it in stride

Sometimes I am foolish
I let it get the best of me
At least I know that my mistakes
Are my responsibility
And

I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying

I don't have a dime
Oh, to buy those pretty things
But I hear all the evidence
You know it all sounds the same

But I'm still waiting
I've got my hands open wide
You know my dream isn't fading
I keep it hidden inside
Oh

I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I keep on trying

My friends don't understand
Oh, they think I've lost my mind
And I'm choking back the tears
I've got to swallow my pride

I just have to laugh, ah
La, ah
Lo, oh
La, ah

Don't play dumb with me, I know you know the score
I wait impatiently, tonight I'm yours
Show you what it's like to have your cake and eat it too
I think you'll like what I'm gonna do, oh

I'm not the type of girl who likes to settle down
Some people say that I just want to fool around
Once I get a taste I want more
I'm like a baby in a candy store, oh

There's no reason to feel guilty
It's too late now, what's done is done
If you can keep it a secret darlin'
We can have some fun

I always want the things that I can't get
I don't believe in rules that you can't bend
Even when you say you've got someone at home
Tell her tonight that she's on her own

Oh, crimes of passion (sweet reaction)
Give me such a sweet reaction (so much satisfaction)
Oh, crimes of passion (sweet reaction)
Give me so much satisfaction
Oh, crimes of passion (sweet reaction)
Give me such a sweet reaction (so much satisfaction)
Oh, crimes of passion (sweet reaction)
Give me so much satisfaction

Please don't be afraid
To look me in the eye
Sad time is gone
I got no tears to cry
Don't so say you don't know I'm right
I say we'll get by

Ain't no big deal to say
I love you still
Call out my name
I'll be here
Ain't no big deal to say
My love is real
When you reach out
I'll be there

Nobody makes me feel
The way that you do
Night time's such a thrill
When I spend it with you
Ask me what is on my mind
So I can tell you true

Ain't no big thing,
My love is for real
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, yeah
My love is for real
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, yeah
My love is for real

Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Reach out, reach out
I'll be there
Reach out, reach out
I'll be there
Reach out, reach out
I'll be there
Reach out

Oh, oh

Ain't no big deal
Ain't no big thing
Ain't no big deal
Ain't no big thing

Everybody, come on, dance and sing
Everybody, get up and do your thing
Everybody, come on, dance and sing
Everybody, get up and do your thing

Let the music take control
Find a groove and let yourself go
When the room begins to sway
You know what I'm trying to say

Come on, take a chance
Get up and start the dance
Let the D.J. shake you
Let the music take you

Let your body take a ride
Feel the beat and step inside
Music makes the world go 'round
You can turn your troubles upside down

Gonna have to change your mind
Gonna leave your troubles behind
Your body gets the notion
When your feet can make the motion

Dance and sing, get up and do your thing

I know you've been waiting, yeah, yeah
I see you sitting there, I've been watching you
Across the room, yeah, yeah
I've been watching you, I see you sitting there by yourself
Yeah, yeah
Come on, come on, come on

Let the music take control
Find a groove and let yourself go
When the room begins to sway
You know what I'm trying to say

(Dance and sing, get up and do your thing)

You came along when I was losing my way
You touched my heart and now I'm ready to say
That all your sweetness callin' back ugly skies
And now I've fallen for the look in your eyes

I couldn't ask for more
You're what I'm looking for
Oh

Sometimes I feel I have to get away
I change my mind when I look in your eyes
And when those clouds come in to darken our day
You're never gonna hear me say good-bye

Don't you know
Don't you know?
Tainted love
Don't you know
