2 Cinnamon Street

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

Growing up on Cinnamon Street.
Everywhere you look there are lots of people to meet,
it's seven o'clock, the breakfast treat.
Now the schoolbus is here, hurry up and grab a seat.
All the dreams are tiny ones, another week has just begun on Cinnamon Street.

There was a boy on Cinnamon Street,
the same age as me, we shared the curiosity.
He won my heart cos he could play guitar.
He promised me heaven at once and later all the stars.
But it all remained the same cos things can never change on Cinnamon Street.

I can hear my heartbeat the very first time we made love,
life was a lazy rest in the sun.
Later we went dancing, staying up all night long -
playing all our favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na.

I say goodbye to Cinnamon Street.
Springtime is here and the air is so dry and sweet.
I walk in a cloud, the smell of cinnamon bread,
it's in my blood since the day I was born 'til I wake up... dead.
And the sun is smiling gently, a funny shade of red, Cinnamon Street.

I still feel my heartbeat the very first time we made love,
life was a lazy day in the sun.
Later we went dancing, hanging out all night long -
singing all our favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na na.

Almost Unreal

Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest.
Step inside, take a deep breath, and do what you do best.
Yes, kick off them shoes and leave those city streets.
I do believe love came our way, and fate did arrange for us to meet.

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal.

Hey, we can't stop the rain, let's find a place by the fire.
Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems, you've been in my dreams all my life.

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal.

It's a crazy world out there. It's a crazy...
Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight.

Oh, I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal, so unreal.

Yea come on and do the hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look, it's almost unreal.
It's almost unreal, yea.

It's almost unreal.
Do the hocus pocus to me.
Do the hocus pocus...

Better Off On Her Own

Words & Music by Per Gessle

My girl
Came on to me
Just the other day,
Acting OK
I was
Reading alone
In my favourite room
The TV was on
May I be excused?
For not telling the truth?
'Coz she's gone
She said
She's better off on her own
She turned
Her head
Much better off on her own
My girl knocked on the door
To the place I usually refer to as home
I dived, shoelace untied
She looked in my eyes
Small and suprised
And god closed every gaze
The moon fell into the lake
Boy, she's gone, adrift
She's better off on her own
She closed, then she left
Much better off on her own
Sitting naked
By the window sil
Watching cars upon the hill
Am I sleeping?
I was dreaming
For just a moment time stood still
Now she's gone
She said
She's better off on her own
She turned her head
Much better off on her own
She's gone
She sighed
She's better off on her own
The tears I've cried
Much better off on her own
My girl
Came on to me just the other day...

Crazy About You

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

Ooooo...
I'm crazy about you
I'll give you all my love
Yes I'm crazy about you
Night and day, day and night
I'll be your heart's salvation

Hey baby, let's stay together
Let's make it now and forever
I want to show it and shout it
and tell the whole world about it

I thought it never could happen
I thought you never would see me
You run a lovin' locomotive
You make my needs very primitive

The more I get, the more I want from you, of your affection
When you're around, I'm in control, I feel a complete connection

Hello, hello
I'm so crazy about you, you know... baby
Hello, hello, hello
Yes I'm crazy, so crazy about you

C'mon close your eyes, honey, trust me!
I want to enjoy your body
I want to take you much higher
and play the game of desire

Well I can't hide
I'm getting hungry for a bite
I'm blinded by this obsession
I keep dancing like your possession

I'll wrap my legs all around you
I'll show you total devotion
No need to talk
Love will speak to you
with sweet emotions

Hello, hello
I'm so crazy about you, you know...baby
Hello, hello, hello
Yes I'm crazy, so crazy about you

Don't Believe In Accidents

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

Anything can happen
when I wind up alone with you
Put your finger on the things I like to do
Well anything can happen
There's a feel in the air around you
Commanding parts of me
I never ever knew

I want your love
of flesh and blood
hey you!
This was really meant to be
It's for sure our destiny
Making lovers out of friends
I don't believe in accidents

Anything can happen
when you hit that electric room in me
I lose the time, the place and everything I see
Well anything can happen
there's nothin' else in the world I'd rather do
than to feed the secret dreams
hidden in you

You want the love
of flesh and blood
hey you!
This was really meant to be
It's for sure our destiny
Making lovers out of friends
I don't believe in accidents
I don't believe in accidents

Hey you!
This was really meant to be
It's for sure our destiny
Making lovers out of friends
Don't believe in accidents
This was really meant to be
It's for sure our destiny
Making lovers out friends
I don't believe in accidents
I don't believe in accidents
Don't believe in accidents
Don't believe in accidents...

Happy Together

When she walked up
He walked down
Just like the seasons went round and round
She was in love
He wasn't sure
She wrote some letters he tried to ignore
They could have been
so happy together
They could have been
so lucky in love
Sing la dee da
So happy together
They could have run the earth, the sky, the sun

She carried his ring
Since she left school
He knew she was precious
The prettiest jewel
She wanted a baby
But he wasn't sure
He couldn't make up his mind anymore

They could have been
So happy together
They could have been
So lucky in love
Sing la dee da
So happy together
They could have run the earth, the stars, the sun

I couldn't ever hurt no one
If you feel shattered
I'm sorry for what I've done

We could have been
so happy together
We could have been
so lucky in love
sing la dee da
so happy together
We could have run the earth, the sky , the sun

yeah we could have been
so happy together
we could have been
so lucky in love
so happy together
we could have run the universe
could have run the universe
could have run the universe
for fun

so happy together
so happy together
so happy together

I Want You

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

Like a whisper in me, I feel the warm winds coming through
I want you...
I want you...

The empty streets all look the same, take me home blue morning rain
I want you...

Calling pictures in my mind, when I wanna be with you
On this long distance line, how I wish that you would stay
I want you...

Remember what you told me, we always wind up all alone
together...
As long as rivers will run, as long as I can see the sun
I want you...

Moving pictures in my mind, when I wanna be with you
Along this long distance line, how I wish that you would say
I want you!

When your nights are lonely, no, you're not the only
Just waiting for another day, how I wish that you would say, how I wish that you would say
I want you!

For all the love in your eyes, for all the love that's in your mind
I want you...
I want you...

It Must Have Been Love (Christmas For The Broken-Hearted)

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.

Make-believing we're together, that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard christmas day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now,
it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows,
it's where the wind blows.

One Is Such A Lonely Number

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

I never knew when you walked in the room.
I sold my soul to a stranger, an angel face yea.
I never had this kind of sight before,
this kind of vision white, hang on tight yea.
I don't know, girl, you've been around.
Don't you go, don't you let me down.

One is such a lonely number, to make the world go round.
Three is just a little too much to touch, now honey, to make the world go round and round and round.
One is such a lonely number.

I think about what this has done to me.
I'm going back to the start, back to school days.
I never had this urge inside of me, to hear the sound of a heart fill the airwaves.
There's a love line, it's tied to the ground.
Leave you here, never let you down.

One is such a lonely number, to make the world go round.
Three is just a little too much to touch, now honey, to make the world go round and round and round.
One is such a lonely number, to mend a broken heart.
Three is just a little too much to touch, hey honey, to make the world go round and round and round and round.

There's a love line, it's tied to the ground.
Leave you here, never let you down.

One is such a lonely number, to make the world go round.
Three is just a little too much to touch, now honey, to make the world go round and round and round. One is such a lonely number, to mend a broken heart. Three is just a little too much to touch, hey honey, to make the world go round and round and round.

One is such a lonely number, to make the world go round...

Pearls Of Passion

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

There was a banquet of believers when we walked into the room.
December days of Christmas felt like days in June.
And there were morning lights, and sunrise chimes echoed all around.
Now's the time for weary minds, the moon is northern bound.

And you know I'm going back, going back today. Back to where I came from.
And you know I'm going back, going back to stay.
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

Well there's a promise in the twilight, it's so innocent and wild.
Two hearts that break the silence, you can hear a distant cry.
And there's emptiness and loneliness, it's more or less the same.
Well let's run between the raindrops, babe, and catch the midnight train.

And you know I'm going back, going back today. Back to where I came from.
And you know I'm going back, going back to stay.
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

And you know I'm going back, going back today. Back to where I came from.
And you know I'm going back, going back to stay.
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.

And you know I'm going back, going back today. Back to where I came from.
And you know I'm going back, going back to stay.
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.
Came my way...

Seduce Me

Words by Per Gessle, Music by Marie Fredriksson & Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music/Shock The Music

Don't ever say you do
Don't ever say you want to make me shine
You keep your mystery, don't ever try
to be my guiding light
mmm...

Don't ever say you care
Don't follow when I'm here and everywhere
I'm blinded by your looks but there's a scent
of heartache in the air
in the air...

Hey you!
Walk out through that door
and into that dream
where I met you before
oh oh...

Babe, you seduce me
You take my heart and use me
My feelings all run wild
when you seduce me all the time

Don't ever call me up
I never wanna hear your voice again
Oh lay your pretty hands on someone else
Somebody who don't know you well
know you well...

Hey you!
Your sweet sweet talk can't stay
And get back to that dream
Let's both keep it that way
hey hey...

Oh you seduce me
You pull my heart and use me
And I keep running blind
when you seduce me all the time

Mmmm... get back to that dream
Let's both keep it that way
hey hey...
tell me once again...

You seduce me
You take my heart and use me
My feelings all run wild
when you seduce me all the time
when you seduce me all the time
you seduce me all the time
you seduce me...

The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

Red like fire was the day I met you.
I tell you now, there are no regrets.
In this room there are many memories.
Some are good, some I try to forget.
I thought we were the chosen ones,
who were supposed to fly.

We're very much the same, you and I.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
Still waiting to get hurt, time after time.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
When love lies in our hands, we seem to run and hide.
And I can't help but wonder why.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

My heart was like a runaway train, babe.
I don't believe I've ever felt more alive.
In this room I hear voices linger.
We never talked about the price.
You know you're not the only one,
who knows how to cry.

We're very much the same, you and I.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
Still waiting to get hurt, time after time.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
When love lies in our hands, we run away and hide.
And I can't help but wonder why.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

We're very much the same, you and I.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
Still waiting to get hurt, time after time.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
When love lies in our hands, we run away and hide.
And I can't help but wonder why.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
Goodbye. The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
The sweet hello, the sad goodbye.

The Voice

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

Between the open heart and the whisper goodbye,
there's a perfect teardrop in your eye.
Between the lover's moon and the trembling sky,
there's a broken dream in your mind.

And the voice is carrying the love you have lost,
and the change of heart in someone you trust.
Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars.
Hear the lonely voice in the dark.

Between the careful touch and the breakaway kiss,
there's a beauty you can't resist.
Mmm, between the fall apart and the moment of bliss,
there must be something more than this.

And the voice is carrying the love you have lost.
Love you have lost.
And the change of heart in someone you trust.
Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars.
Love and the scars.
Hear the lonely voice in the dark. In the dark.
Hear the lonely voice.
Hear the lonely voice.

And the voice is carrying the love you have lost.
Love you have lost.
And the change of heart in someone you trust.
Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars.
Love and the scars.
Hear the lonely voice in the dark.

Oh, yea, the voice is carrying the love you have lost.
Love you have lost.
And the change of heart in someone you trust.
Yea the voice is carrying the love and the scars.
Love and the scars.
Hear the lonely voice in the dark.
In the dark.

Lonely voice.
Lonely voice in the dark.
Hear the lonely voice.
Hear the lonely voice in the dark...

Turn To Me

Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Jimmy Fun Music

Turn to me - when your heart breaks away
Turn to me - don't turn me away
When everything's sad and down
When you're looking for somewhere to run
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Turn to me - when the moon gets to go
Turn to me - when the story's been told
When everything's dim and grey
And you're hitting a rainbow way
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Now that Christmas is here
A shadow of fears
And if you want to seek ....
Turn to me and read these lonely lonely eyes
Why don't you?
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me!
