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.

Hey, you got the look of a lonely womans eyes,
Whatcha thinking when youre standing so close to me?
Aint no law says a man cant fantasize,
Theres a secret locked up in you tight
Ooh! Id love to turn the key.
Whoah, playing with fire...fighting my desire, baby...
...my conscience is a liar.
Oh, lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner...!
...walking on a wire, now i...i face the crucifier,
Whatcha doin to me?
Live by rules made up by society,
But I guess I must have missed election day
cause so much about you looks so good to me, yeah!
For what Im thinking I could go to jail,
But some laws are born to break...
...stakes are getting higher, now i...
...i think Im losin it...
