Olivia Newton-John Collection

Olivia Newton John

Some women like to sing out strongly with vibrato

It gets so violent you can hardly find the notes

Some women like to sling a song with such bravado

You long for silence while they're opening their throats

Sometimes a screamer with no finesse

Will make you dream of leaving with your hearing intact

It takes a whisper, it takes a breath

To give a songstress something of an act

 

I heard the voices from my parents room

Carson seemed to have his smile in place

Johnny always loved a pretty face

Always loved the chance to score

Especially with a girl next door

Then I heard the voice come through the TV screen

Something started stirring in the night

I could feel a vision dressed in white

Someone I would not forget

Strutting on the TV set

 

And Oh Oh Oh

I was only eleven

But Oh Oh Oh I was feeling like twelve

 

I stared intently while the music played

Doc said he could tell that she'd go far

Ed was always searching for a star

Someone who could sing and more

Sure to make the ratings soar

 

And Oh Oh Oh

I admit I've been mellow

And Oh Oh Oh

I admit that I've tried

 

Olivia Newton-John

The girl with the velvet skin

Using her cords for more awards

Than anyone thought she'd win

Olivia Newton-John

The girl with the Hi-Pro glow

Smiled again for network men

And starred in a TV show

She starred in a TV show

 

I saw a poster in the record store

Every little follicle in place

Not a hint of makeup on her face

Every single photograph

Capturing that perfect laugh

And I read the caption in Variety

Universal Pictures made the scene

I would see my angel on the screen

Suddenly she'd have the chance

Show the world that she could dance

 

And Oh Oh Oh

You can hear my body talk

Body talk, body talk

Oh Oh Oh

Let's get into Physical

 

Olivia Newton-John

The girl that we all adore

Taking a rest she moved out west

And opened a clothing store

Olivia Newton-John

The girls with the eyes of blue

Making us cringe, she flaunted fringe

And made it to Xanadu

She made it to Xanadu

 

Oh it will never fail ya

If you're there in full regalia

And you say you're from Australia

You'll be in the loot

Even if your bacchanalian

You're not thought of as an alien

Cause anyone Australian is so damned cute

 

I stay inside and keep my headphones on

I just need to whet my appetite

I draw the shades and dim the lights

No one else need ever know

What is on my stereo

And I've got some friends who feel the same as me

Everyone has paid his fan club dues

Paying close attention to the news

Waiting for the moment when

Olivia will rise again

 

Olivia Newton-John

Girl with the perfect hair

Losing the smile she changed her style

But nobody seem to care

Olivia Newton-John

The girl with the master plan

Traded her soul for breath control

And married a younger man

She married a younger man
