From my seat here at the piano
In this underground cafe
I accompany a singer
Who could melt your heart away
Every night the people love her
It's an easy thing to do
Get to know her like I know her
And you're gonna love her too!
'Cause....
Life gets sweeter with a ginger top
A ginger top, to spice it up
Life gets sweeter with a ginger top
Who else can make your jaw drop?
Tell me, what makes the traffic just stop?
Honey, red as in sensual
Quite irresistible
Here is your ginger top!
Once you fall for her charms
Have her wrapped in your arms
All your doggone days will be over
You just know that it's true
You'll be saying goodbye
To what once was
'Caaaaaaaaause....
Life gets sweeter with a ginger top
A ginger top, to spice it up
Life gets sweeter with a ginger top
Who else can make your jaw drop?
Tell me, what makes the traffic just stop?
Honey, red as in sensual
Quite irresistible
Here is your ginger toooooooooop!

Please allows me, friends, to introduce myself
I'm your girl next door from Indiana
With my dreams still on a shelf
Haven't seen too much of anything
And so far I'm living on a shoe-string
I write of life that's tender and ideal
Songs and poems with happy endings
But in my heart there's nothing real
Because those words won't hold me in the night
Won't kiss me in the morning light
There's a fire in me burning
Every day I wake I'm yearning...
For something more!
Someone who will know my heart
Like none before
And see inside this lonely poet
Where love wants to hold me close
And never lose me
For a love that has the world to choose
But wants to choose me
I just hope that I am destined for...
Something more
If I had that love then I'd be brave enough
To build this dream I have inside and share this diamond in the rough
There is so much more inside of me and I just want the world to see
If I had the chance then I could take the floor
And get what I had always craved, the love of one, then millions more
Can anyone have too much love? Surrounded from below, above
If the Lord could only weigh-in
Turn an ear to one girl's humble prayin'
For something more!
I'd give pieces of my heart away
To shake the core
Of anybody else is lonely
And I wouldn't have to worry about the bottom-dollar
And I'd get to live my life with love in Technocolor
I just hope that I am destined for...
Something moooooooooore!
And I just hope that I am destined for...
Something moooooooooore!

It's called Paramour
It's the story of a girl from an innocent time
And an innocent place
This girl.
This girl...
A small-town girl turned major star
Adds roles to her repertoire
From Joan of Arc to Jessabelle
Film by film a decade flies
We watch her meteoric rise
Millions fall beneath her spell
Everywhere she travels people call her name
But no one comes to close; she's lonely
Well, that's the price of fame
Millions of fans have their fantasies
She's gorgeous and gifted, but wants to be free
Up on the screen she plays every part
She steals every scene
'Till one man steals her heart
Millions of fans
Well, they all love her so
She wants to get out,
but they won't let her go
She wants something real,
She hungers for more
Will she ever escape?
Well, that's Paramour

She's my muse, my grand inspiration
Her eyes, her laugh, could spark a new creation
When she's there beside me
She can't help but provide me with a revelation
She's my muse, each composer needs a poet
She is a star and now the world will know it
But will we lose our partnership
Once shes on the film's script?
She is my... she is my... she is my muse!
How will it be when she's there up above me?
On a marquee; everywhere, needless of me
Fancy and free, will she care?
Could she love me?

What to do when butterflies
Keep me up for sleepless nights?
A little nervous, I admit...
But once I get the hang of it
Watch me sing and act and dance
Take on this God-given chance
A brand new life to go explore
Perhaps I'll find my something more...
Stardom, recognition, hopeless to invision
I wonder what it will be like?
When my days of incognito are gone as of tomorrow
I wonder what it will be like?
I wonder what it will be like?

Lyrics /// Jenny Stafford

Now I have the answer
Become quite the dancer
We're tumbling around day and night
It's a wild roller-coaster
With each movie poster
The more I soak in the spotlight
Had me right at hello
Now I wouldn't let go
Getting used to this phase of the game
Must be the second-best thing
That don't come with a ring
It's the honeymoon days of fame
If you bottle the bliss
Of your very first kiss
Get to drink it when ever you like
We'll go picture to picture
I speak of elixer
One taste and it changes your life
In a single heart beat
you get knocked off your feet
With no pre-nup you're only to blame
Stardom fits like a glove when you're madly in love
It's the honeymoon days of fame!
Let me bask in this moment
Take it in for a while, [SOMETHING]
It just never get's old now this feeling's brand new
I finally get to own it
For a lifetime I thought what I see would not happen to me
When out of the blue every dream has come true
Like in any good story of glamour and glory
A dark cloud will block out the sun
Your thoughts will get sober, vacation is over
I hate to be spoiling the fun
Still I'm faithfully yours with no plans of divorce
As there's still so much left of this flame
Gonna [SOMETHING], I'm addicted [so far]
It's the honeymoon days of fame!

Here comes the goddess of the Nile
Here comes the goddess of the Nile
Day by day we lug tons of stone
While she sits on her golden throne
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Two men stand before me
Both of them adore me
Got no time to lose
Won't you help a girl choose?
Anthony or Ceaser
Each is an appeaser
Who shall I refuse?
Won't you help a girl choose?
Who will play the part?
Heal my aching heart
This war can be won
Won't you help me pick the one?
(Help a girl choose)
(Help a girl choose)

Two men stand before me
Both of them adore me
Got no time to loose
Won't you help a girl choose?
Cowboy or the farmer
Gentle southern charmer
Singing me the blues
Won't you help a girl choose?
Who will play the part?
Heal my aching heart
I'm under the gun
Won't you help me pick the one?
Stay out of the saddle
Boy lock up your cattle
Find your dancin' shoes
Won't you help a girl choose?
(yodel)
Help a girl choose!

Can't escape his twisted melodies
Always tinkering those keys
Even when I shut my eyes
Tryin' to sleep but I am too upset
Lying in a pool of sweat
Begging for the sun to rise
Everywhere I look he's staring back at me
Dancing through the room, his silhouette is all I see
Getting up; I hope to ease the pain
Walking through the midnight rain
Hard to wash those thoughts away
Miss the color; it's so black and white
Underneath this pale moon light
How did my world turn so gray?
This feeling without remedy
Is slowly suffocating me
It's getting worse when darkness falls
Nobody hears my desparate calls!
What would I do
If I should lose you?
My precious Paramour!

Time is creeping

Deep in this nightmare
A horror film coming to life
Piece by piece
Deep in this nightmare
I get to direct this one scene
As I please!

I am torn
No one can win this twisted game we play
It's my move
But either way a heart must break today
What should i say?
I lift you higher than he ever would!
I'll give you more than that boy ever could!
He wants to use you and he doesn't care!
Starmaker.
Soul-shaker.
Heartbreaker!
I need some air!
Can't let go as I dangle
From the corner of this love triangle
Millions knowing your face
Love that makes your heart race
How to choose without choosing disgrace?
Can't let go as we dangle
From the corners of this love triangle
Come on, who will you be?
Will you choose him or me?
I'm beginning to see
The three of us is one too many...
Come with me!
I've got some money saved so we can go
Somewhere far!
I've thought of Marrakech or Mexico
Where love can grow!
Go with him?
You'll be back as you were
Just a girl in a bar
Did you like being her?
Can I go back to my life from before?
Dream Quitter!
Heart splitter!
Fame Glitter!
Don't I want more?
All three hearts are in a tangle
when they're caught up in a love triangle
Use your face and your voice!
Make this writer rejoice!
How can one woman make such a choice?
When all three hearts are in a tangle
And they're caught up in a love triange
Indigo, can't you see?
You can't have him and me!
Because obviously...
The three of us is one too many!
Life as the lover, safe undercover
Is that the life I want?
Or I can shine right out in the spotlight!
Let's inish my film
We're breaking new ground
And then we'll get married!
Married?
All three hearts are in a tangle
When they're caught up in a love triangle
Indy, don't tell him yet!
Choose a life of success!
Will I make a choice I'll second guess?
When three hearts are in a tangle
And they're caught up in a love triangle
Come on, who will you be?
Will you chose him or me?
I'm beginning to see
The three of us is one too many!
Now, we don't need him, or his film, Indy.
We'll be just fine on our own!
If you screw up Paramour and I will blacklist you across this entire industry
You'll never work another day in your lifetime!
I know everyone!
All three hearts are in a tangle
When they're caught up in a love triangle
Indy, what will you do?
I'll give you your debut!
Oh, to tango it only takes two!
Chose which heart you want to mangle!
As you break out of this love triangle
Come on, who will you be?
Will you chose him or me?
I'm beginning to see
The three of us is one too many!
And the boy ain't got a penny!
Chose your life, don't say you'll be my wife!

He get's his film, he get's his star
And I'm alone with my guitar
The girl that I've loved all along
Left a songwriter who can't write a song
So how am I supposed to write
A tune to make the heart take flight?
And also make my soul forget
I'm only half a love duet
'Cause if a broken man in a state of shock
Cannot make a friend of his writer's block
Then what do you do?
It's the pain that makes the art
Like when love just falls apart
Well, I should use my jelousy
As a fuel to crank out this tune within me
But what am I supposed to do
If I can't make her dreams come true?
And while I hope she succeeds
I can't give her the song she needs!
'Cause if there's not a key that fits to unlock
An imprisoned mind from a writer's block
Then what do I do?

I always wanted something more
Is this what I was searching for?
People chase me down the street
I'm just a name
Not sure if it's intentional
But they make me two dimensional
Still I thought I'd be complete
Once I found fame
My face is in the news
Autographs, interviews
I know what you're about to say
She is the girl who has everything
She's got the world upon a string
She's so lucky, she should not complain
If I'm so lucky can someone explain
Why does the girl who has everything
Still have a heart that's questioning
There must be something more
To this life now, I'm sure
And if dreams do come true
Then I only have one wish
At the end of all of this
There's you
All the stories have a twist
That makes the love like ours exist
From the start I think we've been
The perfect team
Your tune's inspirational
And your words are sensational
And perhaps we finally found
The lovers' theme
I dreamed of melodies
But with the words I freeze
Now it takes two of us to sing
Just when you think you have everything
The truth becomes so humbling
Making gold out of all that you touch
Without love it won't add up to much
Just when you think you have everything
But still your heart is questioning
There must be something more
To this life now I'm sure
And if dreams do come true
Then I only have one wish
At the end of all of this
There's you
Just when you think you have everything
The truth becomes so humbling
Making gold out of all that you touch
Without love it won't add up to much
Just when you think you have everything
But still your heart is questioning
There must be something more
To this life now I'm sure
And if dreams do come true
Then I only have one wish
At the end of all of this
There's you

New York is so exciting...
There are so many ways to die!
Go on honey, I'll cover for ya!
Joey, she went down there!
Gina! Aarghh!
They went downtown!
They went uptown, to Harlem!
Take the A Train!
You see, Gina, there is such a thing as true love!
Ravi, I thought...
What?
Nevermind, let's go get a drink!

So, thanks for the honor, it's been quite a night
I've shown you my secrets, I've turned on the light
To fight for your L'Amore, succumbed to your heart
Well, that's Hollywood
We all learned a lesson; the rules of succcess
That money and stardom won't buy happiness
If your soul is growning than no camera rolling
will do you good
You can fake it in the shots
You won't find it in even the best of the movies props
'Cause real love: it's not the reel;
It lives inside your heart, if you trust what you feel
And if you leave you an open door
It's gonna take you places you ain't been before
Don't kid about real love
It's simple and free
It's gonna find it's way if it's all meant to be
When blinded by the spotlight you don't want an encore
That's it for now but we all hope to see you once more
Perhaps in the flashes of light
At the start-studded opening night... of Paramour!
It's just an illusion that's fooling the eye
In one second twenty-four frames will go by
I've been so imperious, uptight, and serious
That's hollywood
Now I've learned the business and what it's about
'Cause it can just chew you and then spit you out
These contracts can [SOMETHING] it,
So reading the fine print Will do you good
It's a circus, that's a fact
But in this town of filmmaking
The three of us discovered that....
Real love: it's not the reel;
Tt lives inside your heart, if you trust what you feel
And if you leave you an open door
It's gonna take you places you ain't been before
Don't kid about real love, it's simple and free
Look inside your heart, hear its sweet melody
The filming's done, but still there's fun,
And one more surprise....
[SOMETHING] and open your eyes
It's there in the flashes of light
At the star-studded opening night
Of Paramour!
