Still waters run deep.
Just remember when we lie to each other.
No one wins and losers weep.
Reflection will show
This connection, we can lean on each other,
This is all we need to know.

Now I admit I've been a fool sometimes.
I believe I may be losing you.
It's now or never, we talk before a tear is shed.
Under your spell and over my head.

You took me in your arms and you told me
We don't need to worry, but you,
You never say you're sorry.

Keep this love alive for us, it's all I feel.
How can we survive if we change what is real?

Still waters run deep,
Just remember when we lie to each other.
No one wins and losers weep.

Reflection will show
This connection, we can lean on each other,
This is all we need to know.

I see the angel and the devil in your heart.
I confess, either one is my addiction.
And where you're leading me
I don't have the will to fight.
Out of the darkness and into the light.
But living in your arms, I can take it.
Please don't make me shiver.
I know together we deliver.

Let the gods decide
Who finds the sweetest thrill.
Who can justify the truth?
God, I love you still.

Still waters run deep.
Just remember when we lie to each other.
No one wins and losers weep (losers weep).

Deception will show
It's a struggle when you're starved for affection (ah),
This is all we need.

Oooh
Don't let him get too close to you.
(you've got a stranger on your mind).
The dream is free.
I know I'm only human if I cry
(Or maybe we should kiss and say goodbye).

Ah. Girl. I love you still.

Still waters run deep.
Just remember when we lie to each other (ah).
No one wins and losers weep (no one wins).

Deception will show (show)
It's a struggle when you're starved for affection
This is all we need to know.

(Still) Still waters run deep.
Just remember when we lie to each other.
No one wins and losers weep.

Reflection will show
This connection, we can lean on each other,
This is all we need to know.

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
