Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the corner Staring at the street again Stormy weather Like the clouds before the break to rain Through my head. Images I've read Here I am Watching my reflection in my face [Chorus] Only you can make me wonder I don't want to cross and I remember It's either now or never We're made to be together Let's make it last tonight Memories of mad desire Hoping that this love will last forever It's either now or never We're made to stay together Let's make it last tonight Mad desire Burning through the night Mad desire Dancing in the night [Verse 2] To the beat, to the beat... Tried to call you Phone was off the hook again Passing hours Staring through a cold and windy day In my mind Images I find Here I am Waiting for the moment you appear [Chorus] Only you can make me wonder I don't want to cross and I remember It's either now or never We're made to be together Let's make it last tonight Memories of mad desire Hoping that this love will last forever It's either now or never We're made to stay together Let's make it last tonight Mad desire Burning through the night Mad desire Dancing in the night [Outro] To the beat to the beat...
