(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're [bad word] round 
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears 
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by 
(Turn around) every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes 

(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart 
(Turn around, bright eyes) Every now and then I fall apart 

And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever 
And if you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever 
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong 
Together we can take it to the end of the line 
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time) 
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark 
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks 
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight 
Forever's gonna start tonight 

Once upon a time I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart 
There's nothing I can do... a total eclipse of the heart 
Once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark 
Nothing I can say... a total eclipse of the heart 

(Turn around) bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart 
(Turn around) bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart 

And I need you now tonight 
And I need you more than ever 
And if you'll only hold me tight 
We'll be holding on forever 
And we'll only be making it right 
Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line 
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time) 
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark 
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks 
I really need you tonight 
Forever's gonna start tonight 
Forever's gonna start tonight 

Once upon a time I was falling in love 
But now I'm only falling apart 
Nothing I can do 
total eclipse of the heart 
total eclipse of the heart
