Robby Benson & Karla DeVito — Let Me In

Girl: I know you can hear me, Jimmy.

Boy: I can tell just what you’re thinking
The cruise you’re on is always sinking
Cut yourself and you’ll be sorry
Trust me, I’ve been dead

Girl: Donẗ go there, Jimmy.

Both: Why don’t you give a damn?
Open up your door
Boy: And let me in

Girl: Let me in, Jimmy.

Boy: I can feel your lips on my lips
Girl: I can feel your lips on my lips
Boy: I can feel your hips on my hips
Girl: I can feel your hips on my hips
Boy: I can taste your love in my love
Girl: I can taste your love in my love
Boy: The best is yet to come
Girl: The best is yet to come

Both: It’s five forty-five in the morning
Open up your door
Boy: And let me in
Both: Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Boy: Let me in

Girl: Come on, Jimmy.

Boy: Let me in

Doctor: Holy shit, it’s working! I got a beat. Can I get some help here?

Boy: Let me prove my true devotion
Girl: Let me prove my true devotion
Boy: Swim a mountain, climb an ocean
Girl: Swim a mountain, climb an ocean
Boy: Let me prove that I am worthy
Girl: Let me prove that I am worthy
Boy: You can just ask my friends
Friend: It’s true, he’s worthy. I’m his buddy, okay? …

Both: Why don’t you give a damn?
Open up your door
Boy: And let me in
Both: Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Boy: Let me in

Girl: Let me in, goddammit, Jimmy.

Boy: Let me prove my true devotion
Let me in
Can’t you see how much I love you?
Girl: Doctor, what’s happening?
Boy: Cut yourself and you’ll be sorry
Let me in
You’ll just leave a scar
Let me feel your lips on my lips
Let me in …

Karla DeVito — Nobody Makes Me Crazy (Like You Do)

I made the first move on the floor
Piling up points and driving hard for more
But you weren’t keeping score

I couldn’t let you get away
I tried of something cool to say
So I begged you to stay

Nobody knocks me dead
Nobody turns my head
But nobody makes me crazy — like you do
Like you do

You told me to call you on the phone
It was busy for hours and then you’re never home
Or you’re not alone

You left me standing on the street
In pouring down rain and burning up in heat
And oh so incomplete

Nobody makes me a fool
Nobody breaks my rules
But nobody makes me crazy — like you do
Like you do

Say it’s alright
Say it’s alright
Say we’ll spend all time together

Beware the heart unleashed and unchained
I’m over the edge — but I’m not ashamed

Finally in my deepest hold
In my prison, under my control
I’ll never let you go

Nobody half as tough
Nobody tears me up
But nobody makes me crazy —

Nobody knocks me dead
Nobody turns my head
But nobody makes me crazy —— like you do
Like you do
Like you’ll do, like you’ll do …

Karla DeVito — Open Your Heart

B-b-baby, please turn of that box of light
Nothin’ they’re selling will make things right
That smartphone you’re holding, well, it ain’t so smart
If you’re not listing with your heart

What can we do to get ya out of this funk?
What can we do to get rid of this junk?
Sucking up the bad news like a sponge
Unplug, look in my eyes, let’s take the plunge

C’mon now

Open your heart, my heart’s open to you
Feeling the love, you know, you know we do

Open your heart, my heart’s open to you
Spreadin’ the love in all we do
Mistress, sister, mother, brother, stranger
You’re my friend too …

Open your heart, my heart’s open to you
Feeling the love, you know, you know we do

Open your heart, and our heart’s open to you
Spreadin’ the love in all we do
Mistress, sister, mother, brother, stranger
You’re my friend too

The sun sets on every night
And the stars and the pale moonlight
Take off your shoes
Feel the free-flowering carpet beneath the feet

Open your heart, my heart’s open to you
Feeling the love, you know, you know we do

Open your heart, and our heart’s open to you
Spreadin’ the love in all we do
Mistress, sister, mother, brother, stranger
You’re my friend too

Sun rises on every day
See our world in a different way
From to sea to sea to sea to shining sea
The whole world is our family

Open your heart, and our heart’s open to you
Feeling the love, you know, you know we do

Open your heart, and our heart’s open to you
Spreadin’ the love in all we do
Mistress, sister, mother, brother, stranger, lover
My friend too

Sun rises on every day
Look at our world in a different way
From to sea to sea to sea to shining sea
The whole world is our family
The whole world is our family

The whole world is our family …

Karla DeVito — Paint a Picture

In the back of my mind, I paint a picture of you
A once-white canvas comes to life like lovers do
The sun slowly streaks it away
The colors fade, but the image remains
And I still see the beauty in your eyes

Another sparkling summer New York day
The west wind whips the waves of the harbour bay
Oh, I remember the times that we cried
We’d cuddle on the roof and watch the sailboats fly by
And I still see the beauty in your eyes

Some people get by
Some just get high
But if I paint your picture
I’ll never to say goodbye

Some people get by
Some just get high
But if I paint your picture
I’ll never to say goodbye …

Karla DeVito — Baby Boom

[I] like to save the world when we can’t save a dime
But your heart’s in the right place right next to mine
I’ve had it up to hear with greed
Another mouth to feed is just what we need

B-b-baby boom
B-b-baby boom
Baby boom
Baby boom
Baby, baby

… la la, la la la, la la …

B-b-baby boom
B-b-baby boom
Baby boom
Baby boom
Oh my baby, ooh

B-b-baby boom
Oh, baby boom
Baby boom
Baby boom …

Baby boom

La la, la la la, la la …

Karla DeVito — Carousel of Love

We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel …

I am so in love with you …
In love with you …

We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel …

We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel …

I am so in love with you …

We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel of love
We’re riding on a carousel …

I am … so … in love with you …

Karla DeVito — Fallin’ (feat. Stan Brown)

Girl: Fallin’
I’m fallin’
Fallin’ in love with you
I don’t know if I’m up or down
This love’s got me turned around
Staring at you

Boy: Fallin’
I’m fallin’
Fallin’ in love with you
I don’t know if it’s wrong or right
I just wanna spend every night
Loving you

Girl: Say you’ll always be my friend
Boy: My love for you will never end
Girl: Please don’t let me ever go
Both: I feel as though I’m falling

Girl: Fallin’
I’m fallin’
Fallin’ in love with you
I don’t know it’s day or night
Care if it’s black or white
If I’m with you

Boy: I don’t care what the others say
I just want to spend every day
Loving you …

Both: I feel as though I’m falling

Boy: Fallin’
I’m fallin’
Fallin’ in love with you
I don’t know if I’m up or down
This love’s got me turned around
Staring at you

Girl: I don’t know if it’s wrong or right
I just wanna spend every night
Both: Loving you …
Aaah aaah …
Loving you …
