Debbie Gibson


A little something about Debbie Gibson
Debbie Gibson became a pop phenomenon in the late '80s, scoring a string of hit singles when she was only 17. Although she was still a teenager Gibson showed signs of being a talented pop craftswoman capable of making catchy dance-pop in the style of Madonna, as well as lush, orchestrated ballads. Gibson's time at the top of the charts was brief - a bit, I guess, like Tiffany - but it was quite successful while it lasted producing five Top Ten singles, including two number ones, and two multi-platinum albums.

Foolish Beat

Ooooo....

Verse 1:
There was a time when
Broken hearts and broken dreams
Were over.
There was a place where
All you could do was 
Wish on a four leaf clover.

But now is a new time
There is a new place
Where dreams just can't come true.
It started the day when I left you (oh)

Chorus:
I could never love again the way that I loved you (oh)
I could never cry again like I did when I left you
And when we said goodbye,
Oh the look in your eyes
Just left me beside myself without your heart (without your heart)
I could never love again now that we're apart

Verse 2:
When I was sorry
It was too late to turn around (turn around)
And tell you so.
There was no reason
There was no reason
Just a foolish beat of my heart.

CHORUS

Bridge:
Oh, can't you see I'm not fooling nobody
Don't you see the tears are falling down my face
Since you went away
Break my heart, you slipped away
Didn't know I was wrong
Never meant to hurt you now you're gone

OooOooOoo
Do do do do do do
OoooOooOoo
Oooooo....

I could never love again now that we're apart.
(now that we're apart) oh
I could never love again now that we're apart.


Only in my dreams Ah...ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah...ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Verse 1: Every time I'm telling secrets I remember how it used to be And I realized how much I miss you And I realize how it feels to be free Now I see I'm up to no good (no, no, no) And I wanna start again Can't remember when I felt good (baby) No I can't remember when Chorus: No, only in my dreams As real as it may seem It was only in my dreams Verse 2: Couldn't see how much I missed you (now I do) Couldn't see how much it meant (ah-ah..) Now I see my world come tumbling down (tumbling down my world) Now I see the road is bent If I only once could hold you (no, no, no) And remember how it used to be (ah-ah..) If only I could scold you And forget how it feels to be free CHORUS No, no, no, no, only in my dreams As real as it may seem It was only in my dreams Oooo... Oh-whoa-ho-whoa-ho Ah-ah-ah.... Bop, bop, bop, bop, ba-da Ah...ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah...ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah CHORUS No, no, no, no, only in my dreams As real as it may seem It was only in my dreams No, no, no, only in my dreams As real as it may seem It was only in my dreams (fade)
Out of the Blue VERSE 1: Without you, without you I always thought that everything was fine without you Never knowing you'd be mine Suddenly my world has changed And I just wonder why All it took was just one smile CHORUS: Now with you, out of the blue Love appeared before my eyes with you A dream come true I never thought I'd realize what love was what love was, what love was... VERSE 2: I need you, oh I need you And everyday I love you more and more Without you (dreams and tears) I know what it's all for Suddenly I see you there And everything's ok Don't know why I feel this way CHORUS Here with you BRIDGE: We are together now Never take my heart away All the love I found Is here to stay (out of the blue) It's like a dream come true I never thought I'd fall in love with you Out of the blue Love appeared before my eyes with you A dream come true I never thought Here with you Out of the, out of the, out of the clear blue Oh, it's like a dream come true I never thought, I never thought Out of the blue Before my eyes with you A dream come true I never thought I'd fall in love with you Out of the, out of the, out of the, out of the clear blue...
Electric Youth Verse 1: Zappin' it to ya The pressure's everywhere Goin' right through ya The fever's in the air Oh yeah, it's there! Don't underestimate the power of a lifetime ahead Chorus: ELECTRIC YOUTH Feel the power, you see the energy Comin' up Coming on strong The future only belongs to the future itself/in the hands of itself and the future is ELECTRIC YOUTH It's true you can't fight it Live by it the next generation... it's electric Verse 2: We've got the most time to make the world go round Oh, can you spare a dime? Place your bet on our sound Come back to town Don't lose sight of potential mastermind Remember when you were young Bridge: We do what comes naturally (naturally!) You see now wait for the possibility Don't you see a strong resemblance to yourself? (oh...) Don't you think what we say is important? Whatever it may be... The fun is gonna start with me 'cause I'm bringing it back...
