Do nothing till you hear from me
Leave a number where you're gonna be
These times are dangerous for you and me
Would I get a message through?
She'll be watching every move you make
She'll be waiting for that one mistake
Somebody's heart is gonna have to break
Before we are through

Because we can't live
From kiss to kiss
Making up for all we've missed
Hiding in the daylight shadows
Until it's time to say goodbye
Wishing it would be all right
Living with a loneliness
From kiss to kiss

Don't ask me now what is right or wrong
'Cos I've been wondering since you came along
We were weak and love was strong
Now there's nothing we can do
So I'll meet you at the same ole place
I know it's worth it when I see your face
Someday we'll just disappear without a trace
Baby, that's the truth

I keep hoping we'll find a way
(Kiss to kiss)
I keep wondering who's gonna pay
(Kiss to kiss)
I keep waiting for Judgement Day

Some people's lives
Just get in the way
And that's the truth

Because we can't live
From kiss to kiss
Making up for all we've missed
Hiding in the daylight shadows
Until it's time to say goodbye
Wishing it would be all right
Living with a loneliness
From kiss to kiss

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
