Let Me Love You Once Before You Go Composer(s): Steve Dorff - Molly Ann Leiken Performer(s): Dusty Springfield and multiple other artists
It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy Still I want your love so much that I could die But I just can't lead a double life Being one man's lover, one man's wife
But you can start a fire raging just by touching me Even though I know we're not supposed to touch Oh, I never wanted anyone so much How I wish that I had found you first Don't you see my heart's about to burst?
Let me love you once before you go Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me, so don't keep saying 'no' Let me love you once, and then you'll see No one's ever gonna love you more than me
Let me lock the door and open all my love to you All the love I've longed to give you since we met It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get And I just can't let it disappear Oh my darling, please come over here
Let me love you once before you go Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me so don't keep saying 'no' Let me love you once, and then you'll see No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Breathe Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters; Ricky "Reagan" Wright Originally performed by: Pink Floyd Covered by various other artists
Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave but don't leave me Look around and chose your own ground For long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run Dig that hole, forget the sun And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to start another one For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race toward an early grave

Breaking Us In Two Composer(s): Joe Jackson Originally performed by: Joe Jackson Covered by: Whitney McCray; Mandy Moore
Don't you feel like trying something new Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two You don't do the things that I do You want to do the things I can't do Always something breaking us in two
You and I could never live alone But don't you feel like breaking out Just one day on your own Why does what I'm saying hurt you I didn't say that we were through Always something breaking us in two
They say two hearts should beat as one for us We'll fight it out to see it through I say that you won't bee too much fun for us Though it's oh so nice to get advice it's oh so hard to do
Could we be much closer if we tried We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes Maybe we could last an hour Maybe then we'd see right through Always something breaking us in two
Breaking Up My Heart Composer(s): Bobby Heatlie Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens
Ev'rything you say ev'rything you do
Always seems to put me down - put me down Is there something wrong do I still belong? Is it just a run-around? Run-around? Don't say he's not the reason why
'Cos when I lie awake it's his name I hear you cry
Thought he'd left your mind And that only time stood between your fantasy - fantasy Guess I always knew he'd be haunting you
Stealing what you had from me - had for me I can't stand here and let it die Ev'ry step you take I'll be there right by your side
'Cos it's breaking up my heart feel like dying
Breaking up my heart feel like crying Tell him where to go show the man the door
'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking up my heart
I won't let you go baby never know
Can't you get it through your head? Through your head? I won't set you free you belong to me
What he had for you is dead - love is dead Love burns fire that never cools
Don't you know that love hurts people who break the rules? 'Cos it's breaking up my heart feel like dying
I can't stand here and let it die Ev'ry step you take I'll be there right by your side I won't let you go oh you never know
Breaking up my heart feel like dying
Breaking up my heart feel like crying Tell him where to go show the man the door

Dis-le moi ça me fera plaisir Oh monsieur, vois-tu, il faut qu'je sache À quoi qu'ça peut bien servir J'voudrais qu'tu m'expliques Si c'est vrai qu'ça pique Dans les moments pathétiques Tiens-moi au courant Dis-moi si vraiment Ça chatouille en embrassant
