DON'T THROW MY LOVE AWAY
[Music and Lyrics: Steve Benson and Eric Styx]

Your skin is like a velvet sky
Your head shines in the moonlight
I want to satisfy (babe) only you.
Your brown eyes cling me in the night
When I want to kiss you
In the flickering light, you're breaking my heart.

Don't throw my love away
You want it back some day
In the Hollywood night
Baby, you have my pride
Bee, you love me tonight.
Don't throw my love away
Is it a game you play?
You would stand it before
(baby) you come to door
You can do it some more.

The crystal colours fill the air
I think the world in blue
You are everywhere close to me.
Your body is like a symphony
I'm falling for you, baby
You are my fantasy - the girl of my life.

  I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU
[Written by: Steve Benson, Eric Styx and Richie West]

Turn the music a little way down low
Let me see you shining in the glow
Yes, the way I feel so good tonight
Give me a feeling, all will be alright
And you're the one - the one for me
You're my dream, my fantasy.

I'm in love with you - my heart is really burning
I'm in love with you - there's no returning
I'm in love with you - Love put the magic in my life.

Close enough and turn the little key
Open up your loving heart to me
I close my eyes and then I call your name
'cause only you, you know that I will game
And you're the one - the one for me
You're my dream, my fantasy.

The way you set my little heart on fire
(baby) shows you are my heart's desire
Now I name with a sense to be
And you're the one - the one for me
You're my dream, my fantasy.

LOVE TAKES TIME
[Music and Lyrics: Steve Benson and Eric Styx]

Babe, from the start
I gave you every bit of my heart.
But all your lies
I can see in your eyes.
Babe, you're too young
never needed anyone.
And Love was fun
those days are really gone.

Love takes time for you and me
Dreams are nice but fantasy
takes all time to let it grow
Now it's much too soon to know.
Love takes time for you and me
You gave me a sense to be
Love takes time - it's hard to find for me.

I'm so alone
Where are the friends I think I've known?
Hard to be sure
I feel so insecure.
I feel the pain
gonna fall in love again.
Please, let us try
'cause youÕre the reason why.

Love takes time for you and me...

Oh, ever and ever and ever again
(baby) I'm looking for a real good friend.
In my head I'm tossing and turning
Baby, my fever is really burning.

  MARIE-ELAINE
[Music and Lyrics: Steve Benson and Eric Styx]

Babe, you burn strong and wild
like a girl, you're a child.
Oho, you're giving me love.
When you say love is gone
you've no strength to carry on.
Only you tear me apart.

Marie-Elaine
I beg you: Come back again!
I miss you. Was I a fool?
I'm losing you.
Marie-Elaine
I wish you're feeling the same
Oh, take me again in your arms.

Now, your love - it slips away
a little bit for every day.
Oho, you're feeling so sure.
If is Love a game for fools
I don't make these stupid rules.
Only you're breaking my heart.

Now Marie's gone so far away
I hope she will come back one day.
Your love put magic into my life.

ANGEL BLUE EYES
[Music and Lyrics: Steve Benson]

Darling, step by step
(oh) you're making me mad.
Oh Isabelle! Oh Isabelle!
Oh, you ran away
Oh, you said you stay
Oh Isabelle! Oh Isabelle!
Am I still sleeping or really seeing Queen?
Babe, you're such a girl like I have never seen.

You're a devil with angel blue eyes
You're a single but still in surprise.
We keep playing a silly old game
Oh, we know it will all stay the same.
You're a devil with angel blue eyes
And you laugh at the games you disguise.
First you gave me a sweet harmony,
then you shot me with your fantasy.

Darling, can't you see
that you're hurting me?
Oh Isabelle! Oh Isabelle!
Oh, when you're around
I don't hear a sound.
Oh Isabelle! Oh Isabelle!
You've got the song that makes me sing
You know that you so play my strings.

  TELEPHONE GIRL
[Music and Lyrics: Steve Benson]

You can walk, you can talk like Marilyn
And your smile - it makes me high like Marilyn
You gave me a fantasy of Marilyn
You're the dream, a move between like Marilyn.
And when I have you on your private line
Ten times a day and then just one more time.

Telephone, t-t-t-telephone
You are to me a telephone night
Telephone, t-t-t-telephone
You are to me a telephone night girl
Telephone night girl, telephone night girl
Darling, would you love me forever?

You can smile and drive me wild like Marilyn
Your blue eyes give me my highs like Marilyn.
And when a power wins of my strong my home
I can't stop calling you up on the phone.

Telephone, t-t-t-telephone...
