Lyrics: The Corrs and Mutt Lange
Go on go on
Leave me breathless
Come on
The day light's
fading slowly
The time with
you is standing still
I'm waiting
for you only
The slightest
touch and I feel weak
I cannot lie
From you I
cannot hide
And I'm losing
the will to try
Can't hide
it, can't fight it
So go on, go
on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Touch me, tease
me
Until I can't
deny this loving feeling
Make me long
for your kiss
Go on go on
Yeah he
Come on
And if there's
no tomorrow
And all we
have is here and now
I'm happy just
to have you
You're all
the love I need
Somehow it's
like a dream
Although I'm
not asleep
I never want
to wake up
Don't loose
it, don't leave me
So go on go
on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Touch me, tease
me
Until I can't
deny this loving feeling
Make me long
for your kiss
Go on go on
Yeah he
Come on
(Guitar solo)
And I can't
lie, from you I cannot hide
And I've lost
my will to try
Can't hide
it, can't fight it
So go on go
on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Touch me, tease
me
Until I can't
deny this loving feeling
Make me long
for your kiss
Go on go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on Go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on ... Go
on!

"Mutt lives in Switzerland and I went out there to write with him.
It's a bizarre situation going to meet someone for the first time and trying to
write a song with them. But it worked because he was such a lovely guy.
We were sitting in his house but then he suggested going up into the forest with his
guitar and we wrote Breathless there. But writing with Mutt is like being on a rollercoaster.
His songs don't give you a second's pause. They're just hook after hook."

"It's a love song and I can't pretend it's very profound.
It's tempting someone to make the first move - come on and leave me breathless.
You know the scene. The daylight is fading and nothing
matters but the two people who are there.
It's tempting that other person to move it along."

Quotes taken from an article dated July 2, 2000 on http://www.lineone.net
"This one's for Mammy" By Nigel Williamson
"...'Breathless' is a high impact song and certainly leaves me breathless when I sing it.
It's so hooky that it was an obvious choice for the first single but it doesn't reflect the
whole album - there's quite a diverse selection of songs on it."

"Irrefutably
the most drop dead gorgeous combo on the planet.
And the
sisters aren't bad either. Crammed choca with milkie-whistling hooks,
'Breathless'
boasts a blissed out, sun dappled Belinda Carlisle
cruising-down-the-freeway-in-an-open-topped-T-bird
vibe.
Along with
Kyles 'Spinning Around', Moloko's 'The Time Is Now' and
Destiny's
Child 'Say My Name', this equals summer pop perfection."

The video involves
the band arriving by plane (flown by Jim) in the middle of a desert for
a supposed gig, but nobody is there. The band proceeds to set up a stage
nearby. Eventually a load of bikers arrive out of the desert and the band
starts playing.

UK Singles
Chart Commentary from James Masterton
"...in
which our favourite family gathering move ever closer to their detined
role as globe-straddling superstars and sound just that little bit more
like Fleetwood Mac in the process. The Corrs' new album, the followup to
1998s biggest selling long player Forgiven Not Forgotten has actually been
in the can for the best part of a year by all accounts, its release held
over from last autumn to avoid it becoming swallowed by the Millennium
rush (that never actually materialised) and in order that all the pieces
can be in place to make this one of the biggest releases of the year. The
first single could hardly be any bigger, flying to the top of the chart
with almost consummate ease to give the Corrs their biggest ever hit single,
beating the Number 2 peak scaled by the remixed Runaway in February 1999.
Long term fans may bemoan the way they seem to be moving further and further
away from their original folk-based roots (indeed Breatheless features
Mutt 'Mr Shania Twain' Lange as a co-writer) but at the end of the day
this is a winning formula and you can bet it is going to be milked for
all it is worth. Just as long as they don't go-too-corporate, that is all."

Corrs
join net piracy fight
[Thursday,
July 13, 2000]
The Corrs want
to see an end to internet piracy.
Chart-topping
band The Corrs have joined the international campaign to outlaw music piracy
on the internet.
The Irish quartet
have replaced Jean Michel Jarre as the official voice of the European music
industry as it battles to stop the illegal recording and downloading of
songs from the web.
"Most
people would not dream of stealing a CD from their local record store.
In the same way, we don't think it is cool to go cyber-shoplifting."

Musicians
Unite Against Internet Piracy
[Jan 18 1999]
Rock musicians
such as Robbie Williams, Boyzone and The Corrs
have signed a petition organised by Jean-Michel Jarre in an attempt to
persuade the European Parliament to act on the issue of copyright on the
internet. With the rise of MP3 allowing the downloading of cd quality music
Jarre said "It is time for the politicians of the European Parliament to
take a stand and ensure their upcoming review of copyright legislation
allows Europe's artists and musicians to sustain their success in the digital
era".
