You gave me back the paradise That I thought I lost for good You helped me find the reasons why It took me by surprise that you understood You knew all along What I never wanted to say Until I learned to love myself I was never ever lovin' anybody else.

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there.

You took a pretty picture and you smashed it into bits, sank me into blackness and you sealed it with a kiss.

I like talking; I like playing with the audience.

If we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate, just one day out of life, it would be, it would be so nice.

I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother. For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations.
