Deborah Ann Gibson, credited as Debbie Gibson (born August 31, 1970 in Brooklyn, New York), is an American singer who was initially a teen idol appearing repeatedly on the cover of such teen magazines as Tiger Beat. In contrast to the prevalence of the name Debbie in her teen-idol phase, she showed a preference for "Deborah" even then, and her fans had, before the release of Naked, signalled a departure from that image by using this name to refer to her. When Gibson turned 16, she was signed to a recording contract by Atlantic Records, and soon she became the youngest person ever to write, record and produce a Number 1 hit, with her single Foolish Beat. Three other singles from her debut LP Out Of The Bluealso cracked the top 5 Billboard Top 100: Only In My Dreams, Out Of The Blue, and Shake Your Love. By the time Out Of The Bluewas established as a hit album, she and Tiffany, with her remake of I Think We're Alone Now, were fighting for the top position as teen queen of the United States.

Ode To A Would Be Lover Lyrics

Debbie Gibson

Verse1:
Lay your head down by my side
Look that way just one more time
And promise me... nothing
I know time isnt ours to keep
But that doesnt mean I cant watch you sleep
Listen to the strength of silence
Verse2:
Theres a sweet sensibility
And darling that is enough for me
I know you are taken
But, do I get to you just a little bit
I know Im as close as Im gonna get
And though my heart is close to breaking
Chorus:
Oh if youre any kind of man at all
You know the woman I am
So darling dont be afraid I wont break plans youve made
I will be just a friend
Verse3:
Flowers grow in the month of may
And they brighten my every day
Youre here for me now and Im laughing
And though I crave your soulful kiss
I can deal with it as it is
Two tall ships passing
Chorus
Verse4:
I dont doubt for a moments time
The hearts not a mirror of the mind
But think it through anyway
And if you wake up a lonely child
And want to escape for a little while
Come to me and well dance out in the rain
Friend or lover we can dance out in the rain
If I said Im in love with you
Tell me what then would you do?
