Donna Summer - Heaven Knows Lyrics






Baby please (baby please)
Please don't take your love from me
(Please don't take your love from me)
I am yours for ever more (ever more)
Till eternity

Silence please (so silently)
Listen to the words I say
(Listen to the words I say)
I'm not talking just for play
(Just for play)
Listen to me please
(Won't you listen to me)

Heaven knows
It's not the way it should be
And heaven knows
It's not the way it could be
and don't you know
There's no need to leave
Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
Heaven knows
I only wanna please you
Don't you know
Love is what I need

Down inside (down inside)
Don't get caught with foolish pride
(Don't get caught with foolish pride)
Blow the other things aside (things aside)
It's only you and me
(You and me, you and)
Believe in us (believe in us)
We were always meant to be
(Always meant to be)
Me for you and you for me (you for me)
Till eternity ('til eternity)

Heaven knows
It's not the way it should be
And heaven knows
It's not the way it could be
And don't you know
There's no need to leave
Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
Heaven knows
I only wanna please you
Don't you know
Love is what I need

[Instrumental Interlude]

Heaven knows
It's not the way it should be
And heaven knows
It's not the way it could be
And don't you know
There's no need to leave
Heaven knows
I only wanna love you
And heaven knows
I never wanna lose you
Don't you know
Love is meant to be

Heaven knows
It's not the way it should be
And it's not your style
So stop with the pretending
So come on down
And hear me when I cry
Heaven knows
It's not the way it should be
And it's not your style
So stop with the pretending
So come on down
And hear me when I cry

    she was a babe on that bad girls cover

  60. r.... h....

    I had a friend deliver a pizza to Donna in the 70s at the height of her career. She had four sold out shows in Indiana . He was star struck and speechless. She came to the door all glammed up like she was ready to go onstage. She asked him if he wanted an autograph and he said yes ma’am. She just laughed and gave him a hundred dollar tip. He said it was the biggest tip he ever had what a class act. He told her she was the most beautiful woman he’d. Ever seen she just laughed and hugged him. He still has her autograph.

    r.... h....

    Great story! Thank you for sharing 😘 She was an amazing woman ♥️

    r.... h....

    Absolutely, such a gorgeous woman and it was a rare natural beauty that she possessed.

    C.... M....

    Beautiful and talented

    C.... M....

    Beautiful on the outside , my wife worked at a venue and she had a good position, Donna was extremely upset that she was watching her performance from back stage and she raised a big stink, my wife met her before her show and told her she was her hero! Not very cool

    C.... M....

    Yes! black is beautiful too.

  64. S.... R....

    As a guy growing up in the 70s it was like disco discovered me lol....MKHS would have lunches and DJs....best time of my life growing up 77 to 81...disco went on to house parties to hall parties....am 56 but still can dance... dont stop the dance beat....til your heart stops....

    @B RI Charloe Joe Esposito was a member of the group "Brooklyn Dreams".
