America is an English-American folk rock band, that originally consisted of Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek. The three members were barely out of their teens, when they became a musical sensation during 1972, scoring No. 1 hits and winning a Grammy for best new musical artist. Their recording success stretched throughout the 1970s; some of the band's best known songs are "A Horse with No Name", "Sister Golden Hair" (both of which reached No. 1), "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Daisy Jane", and "Lonely People". George Martin produced seven of their albums. more »

Secret calls long after hours 
Suspicions rise, why does she whisper 
Someone's hiding something 
What's going on 

She smiles and finds an excuse to go out 
Meets him somewhere on the edge of town 
For one more night of real love 
How can it be wrong 

'Cause when they turn out the lights 
In their rented room tonight 
Two lovers won't be lonely anymore 

When it's a desperate love, risk is high 
Cheating hearts making alibis 
In the shadows someone is waiting 
Waiting for their lover to come tonight 

A cheater's conscience has no pride 
To spend the night with another man's wife 
Lie to his best friend and never think twice 
He knows where to find what he longs to have 
And do anything 'cause he wants her that bad 
Love has many faces, faces to hide 

'Cause when they turn out the lights 
In their rented room tonight 
Two lovers won't be lonely anymore 

When it's a desperate love, risk is high 
Cheating hearts making alibis 
In the shadows someone is waiting 
Waiting for their lover to come tonight 

When it's a desperate love, risk is high 
Cheating hearts making alibis 
In the shadows someone is waiting 
Waiting for their lover to come tonight 

When it's a desperate love (desperate love), risk is high 
Cheating hearts making alibis 
In the shadows someone is waiting 
Waiting for their lover to come tonight 

When it's a desperate love (desperate love), risk is high 
Cheating hearts making alibis 
In the shadows someone is waiting 
Waiting for their lover to come tonight ...
