  • Kim Wilde – You Keep Me Hangin’ On Lyrics

    Set me free, why don’t you, babe?
    Keep me hangin’ on

    Set my free, why don’t you, babe?
    Get out my life, why don’t you, babe?
    ‘Cause you don’t really love me
    You just keep me hangin’ on

    Set me free, why don’t you, babe?
    Get out my life, why don’t you, babe? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
    ‘Cause you don’t really need me
    You kust keep me hangin’ on

    Why do you keep a-comin’ around playin’ with my heart?
    Why don’t you get out of my life
    And let me make a brand-new start?
    Let me get over you, the way you’ve gotten over me, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Set me free, why don’t you, babe?
    Get out my life, why don’t you, babe? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
    ‘Cause you don’t really love me
    You just keep me hangin’ on
    No, you don’t really need me
    You just keep me hangin’ on

    You say although we broke up
    You still just wanna be friends
    But how can we still be friends
    When seeing you only breaks my heart again?

    Whoa-whoa-whoa
    Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa (and there ain’t nothing I can do about it)
    Whoa-whoa-whoa
    Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa (when darkness has gone by tomorrow)
    Hey, yeah

    Get out, get out of my life
    And let me sleep at night
    ‘Cause you don’t really love me
    You just keep me (hangin’ on) hangin’ on

    You say you still care for me
    But your heart and soul needs to be free
    And now that you’ve got your freedom
    You wanna still hold on to me, yeah, yeah
    You don’t want me for yourself
    So let me find somebody else

    Why don’t you be a man about it?
    Set me free (ooh-ooh-ooh)
    No, you don’t care a thing about me
    You’re just usin’ me, hey, abusin’ me

    Get out, get out of my life
    And let me sleep at night (ooh-ooh-ooh)
    ‘Cause you don’t really love me
    You just keep me hangin’ on, hangin’ on

  • Kim Wilde – Cambodia  Lyrics


    Well, he was Thailand-based, she was an air force wife
    He used to fly weekends, it was the easy life
    But then it turned around and he began to change
    She didn’t wonder then, she didn’t think it’s strange
    But then he got a call, he had to leave that night
    He couldn’t say too much, but it would be alright
    He didn’t need to pack, they’d meet the next night
    He had a job to do, flying to Cambodia!


    And as the nights passed by, she tried to trace the past
    The way he used to look, the way he used to laugh
    I guess she’ll never know what got inside his soul
    She couldn’t make it out, just couldn’t take it all
    He had the saddest eyes the girl had ever seen
    He used to cry some nights as though he lived a dream
    And as she held him close, he used to search her face
    As though she knew the truth, lost inside Cambodia!


    But then a call came through, they said he’d soon be home
    She had to pack a case and they would make a rendezvous
    But now a year has passed and not a single word
    And all the love she knew has disappeared out in the haze

  • Kim Wilde – You Came Lyrics

    Someone I know is staring at me
    And when I look into her eyes
    I see a girl that I used to be
    I hardly recognize


    ‘Cause in the space of a year
    I’ve watched the old me disappear
    All of the things I once held, precious just don’t
    Mean anything anymore, ’cause suddenly


    You came and changed the way I feel
    No one could love you more
    Because you came and turned my life around
    No one could take your place


    I’ve never felt good with permanent things
    Now I don’t want anything to change
    You can’t imagine the joy you bring
    My life won’t be the same


    And I’ll be there when you call
    I’ll pick you up if you should fall
    ‘Cause I have never felt such inspiration
    Nobody else ever gave me more because

  • Kim Wilde – Kids In America Lyrics

    Looking out a dirty old window
    Down below, the cars in the city go rushing by
    I sit here alone, and I wonder why
    Friday night, and everyone’s moving
    I can feel the heat, but it’s soothing, heading down
    I search for the beat in this dirty town


    Downtown, the young ones are going
    Downtown, the young ones are growing


    We’re the kids in America (whoa)
    We’re the kids in America (whoa)
    Everybody live for the music-go-round


    Bright lights, the music gets faster
    Look, boy, don’t check on your watch, not another glance


    I’m not leaving now, honey, not a chance
    Hot shot (shot), give me no problems
    Much later, baby, you’ll be saying, “Never mind”
    You know life is cruel, life is never kind

    Kind hearts don’t make a new story
    Kind hearts don’t grab any glory

  • Kim Wilde – Never Trust A Stranger Lyrics

    I knew there was a danger
    But couldn’t resist
    The touch of a stranger
    The thrill of his kiss
    ’cause this time

    I thought it was love
    I thought it was heaven
    Having the time of my life
    I know it’s not true

    Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
    Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

    My world is in pieces
    You’ve stolen my pride
    And I’m left defeated
    And crushed by your lies

    I thought it was love
    I thought it was heaven
    Having the time of my life
    I know it’s not true

    Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
    Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

    Like a tiger you hunted and tracked me down
    Savaged my soul and took over control
    And then when you’d used all the love you found
    You left without trace
    Not a note or a single goodbye

    I thought it was love
    I thought it was heaven
    Having the time of my life
    I know it’s not true

    Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
    Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

  • Kim Wilde – Can’t Get Enough  Lyrics

    I’m a prisoner who can never leave
    Someone that you use anytime you please
    But I never want you to set me free
    ‘Cause I’m addicted to this love disease

    And the fever rages in my soul
    Begging you to want me and take control
    But come tommorow, you’ll let me go
    To find another foolish heart, I know

    As I face another lonely night
    A different lover will hold you tight, it’s not right

    I can’t help myself from crying over you
    I can’t get enough of your love
    Yeah, I’m dying ’cause it’s true
    I can’t get enough of your love

    I’m going crazy, can’t you see
    You’re turning every day into misery?
    Just like murder in the first degree
    You’re killing something deep inside of me

    ‘Cause you don’t care if I should live or die
    And you don’t even attempt to lie, and that’s why

    I can’t help myself from crying over you
    I can’t get enough of your love
    Yeah, I’m dying ’cause it’s true
    I can’t get enough of your love

    I can’t help myself from crying over you
    I can’t get enough of your love

    ‘Cause you don’t care if I should live or die
    And you don’t even attempt to lie, and that’s why

    I can’t help myself from crying over you
    I can’t get enough of your love
    Yeah, I’m dying ’cause it’s true
    I can’t get enough of your love

    I can’t help myself from crying over you
    I can’t get enough of your love
    Yeah, I’m dying ’cause it’s true

    I can’t get enough of your love

    I can’t get enough of your love

  • Kim Wilde – Love Is Holy Lyrics

    Love is holy, don’t forget it
    It will heal you if you let it
    Love will strip you, leave you naked
    Love is sexy, love is sacred

    I put my faith in me and you
    Somehow I know that we’ll pull through
    Oh, I feel my life passing by
    Sometimes it makes me want to cry
    Thank God I’ve got you by my side

    Every night I hope and pray
    Nothing takes your love away
    I lie awake just to watch you breathe
    Love is holy when you lay with me
    Love is holy baby stay with me

    I don’t understand the world today
    Is everything made just to throw away?
    But you and I (you and I)
    Get closer as time goes by (’til I die)
    I feel my love intensify
    Baby you’re a spiritual high

    Every night I hope and pray
    Nothing takes your love away
    I lie awake just to watch you breathe
    Love is holy when you lay with me
    Love is holy baby stay with me

    Love is holy, don’t forget it
    It will heal you if you let it
    Love will strip you, leave you naked
    Love is sexy, love is sacred

    Every night I hope and pray
    Nothing takes your love away
    I lie awake just to watch you breathe
    Love is holy when you lay with me
    Love is holy baby stay with me

    I lie awake just to watch you breathe
    Love is holy when you lay with me

  • Kim Wilde – Million Miles Away Lyrics

    A while ago you looked at me
    And said there’d come a time
    You’d have to go away
    You put it on the line
    And told me we should only
    Take each moment day by day

    Well I know that there’s a time in life
    When people change
    And go their separate ways
    But I miss you, more each day


    You’re a million miles away
    But I feel you in my heart
    Though it hurt to leave that way
    We’ll we knew that from the start
    Cos you never did pretend
    Our love would never end

    There is no way to love
    No rules that we can follow
    Nothing simple or defined
    We make our own
    And some we borrow
    Hoping it won’t end
    But darling now we know
    We’ve got no-where left to go
