Shine
Written by Glen Burtnik and Patty Smyth
Lead vocals by Patty Smyth
Why'd you tell me that you
Won't see me no more
I say baby, baby, baby do you wanna
Watch me crawl across the floor
Cause anyone can learn to pull the trigger
Anyone can break a heart in two
It's so easy for you
But if there's love in your heart
Just let it Shine, Shine, Shine
Shine, Shine, Shine
Shine, Shine, Shine
All over me
One day you'll turn around
When all your friends are gone
You'll be sorry boy but sorry
Won't keep you warm
So darling hold me now my heart is hungry
All I need is a taste of you
Let love pull is through
And like a light in the dark
Cause anyone can learn to pull the trigger
Anyone can break a heart in two
It's so easy for you
But if there's love in your heart
Just let it Shine, Shine, Shine
Shine, Shine, Shine
Shine, Shine, Shine
All over me
And all of your days
All of your nights
I'll make you shimmer with love
A brilliant sacrifice
Ain't nobody out there gonna love you this way
So come build me a fire
Do you hear what I say
Cause anyone can learn to pull the trigger
Anyone can break a heart in two
It's so easy for you
But if there's love in your heart
Just let it Shine, Shine, Shine
Shine, Shine, Shine
Shine, Shine, Shine
All over me
