Total Eclipse of the Heart Lyrics
Turn around
[RACHEL]
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming 'round
[PUCK]
Turn around
[RACHEL]
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
[JESSE]
Turn around
[RACHEL]
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
[FINN]
Turn around bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
[FINN]
Turn around bright eyes
[RACHEL]
Every now and then I fall apart
[RACHEL with NEW DIRECTIONS Harmonizing, (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
(All of the time)
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
(I really need you tonight)
Forever's gonna start tonight
(Forever's gonna start tonight)
[RACHEL]
Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
Total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
Now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
Total eclipse of the heart
[JESSE]
Turn around, bright eyes
[RACHEL]
Every now and then I fall apart
[JESSE]
Turn around, bright eyes
[RACHEL]
Every now and then I fall apart
[RACHEL with NEW DIRECTIONS Harmonizing, (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
(All of the time)
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
(Forever's gonna start tonight)
Once upon a time I was falling in love
[RACHEL & JESSE]
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
Total eclipse of the heart
Total eclipse of the heart
[RACHEL]
A total eclipse of the heart
[JESSE]
Turn around, bright eyes
About
‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ by Bonnie Tyler is featured in Bad Reputation, the seventeenth episode of Season One. It is sung by Finn, Jesse, Puck, and Rachel.
In this episode, Rachel recreates and sings David Geddes' Run Joey Run, which she tries to use to get a ‘bad reputation’, using Jesse, Puck, and Finn (making it look like she had three boys fighting over her). However, this backfires as Jesse, Finn, and Puck become extremely angry with her and her project and argue with her before walking out. Rachel uses this song as a way to apologize to Jesse. Rachel, Finn, Puck and Jesse all have solos in this song; however, it mainly focuses on Rachel and Jesse’s voices.
