Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts. Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five.

Lovin Emotional Lyrics

Richard Marx

Victim of temptation, cant make it go away.
You see it and you want it, baby, never hear a word I say.
You know I dont want nothing I dont deserve,
Oh, no! I wont take less than I know Im worth.
All this talking makes me feel like a monkey in a cage,
Aint no point in trying to change a man of my age.
Love unemotional, purely physical,
What Im staying fors a mystery to me...
...the hearts invisible...is what you want from me.
People say Im crazy, wonder why I play your game,
Sure beats felling lonely, baby, but the story ends the same.
I want to feel like Im living in a fairy tale,
Dont want to be just another broken heart for sale.
Do I have to hit my knees and beg for something more?
Maybe this is not the love Ive waited for...
...the girls insatiable...
...you feel no shame in being so unkind, all touch and zero feeling,
I dont see a way of changing your mind.
Girl, this kind of life is bound to leave you all alone.
The light inside your heart is on, but no ones home...
...the souls invisible...
...what Im doing heres a mystery to me...
