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.

Nothing To Hide Lyrics

Richard Marx

There in my darkest hour, somehow you knew what I felt
And just in the nick of time you saved me from myself
Didnt know I could cut through my defenses
And see through the mask
I figured you must want something from me, but you never asked
I just had to call and you were always there
I think you must have been the answer to my prayer
With you Ive got nothing to hide
My heart is starting to pound
Now the walls are tumbling down
I wish I could find the words that linger just out of reach
I see myself in your eyes and lose my power of speech
I am someone now that I dont recognize
It took someone like you to shatter my disguise
Now Ive got nothing to hide
My hearts remembering to pound
I can feel the walls coming down
Ive got nothing to hide
All that I needed was you around
Now the walls are tumbling down
Head in the sky, feeling just like some kind of lovesick child
I finally pulled through, and I owe it to you, dont want to keep it inside
I am someone now that I dont recognize
Oh Im healing, Im believing, you made me realize
