CRAZY, CRAZY NIGHTS
(Whoow! Here's a little song for everybody out there)
People try to take my soul away, but I don't hear the rap that they all
say
They try to tell us we don't belong, that's alright, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud, these are my people and this is my
crowd
Chorus:
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
Sometimes days are so hard to survive, a million ways to bury you alive
The sun goes down like a bad bad dream
You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam
They say they can break you again and again, if life is a radio, turn up
to ten
chorus repeats 2x
And they try to tell us that we don't belong
But that's alright, we're millions strong
You are my people, you are my crowd, this is our music, we love it loud
Yeah, and nobody's gonna change me, 'cos that's who I am
chorus repeats out
I'LL FIGHT HELL TO HOLD YOU
In a world of doubt and danger, you see it everywhere
Your friends turn into strangers, does anybody care
But when all hope is lost, I'm gonna be there, whatever the cost
When you feel lost
Someone to hold you with all of their might
Through the darkness night, I'll be there
Chorus:
I'll fight hell to hold you, no river too deep or mountain high
I'll fight hell to hold you by my side
I'm gonna fight hell to hold you, till time stands still and worlds
collide
I'll fight hell to hold you by my side
Ooh, the jealous and the lonely, they try to keep us apart
But let 'em come between us, that's when the trouble starts
'Cause there's one thing I know, I'll be beside you wherever you go
You can be sure
Someone to carry you into the light, swear with all my might, I'll be
there
chorus - ooh, by my side
'Cause there's one thing I know, I'll be beside you wherever you go
You can be sure
Someone to carry you into the light, swear with all my might, I'll be
there
chorus
BANG BANG YOU
My love is like a cannonball, I'm takin' aim and you're gonna fall
Don't hide or try to get away, you know the rules and you're gonna play
Chorus:
And we go one, two, three, four, when midnight comes, I'll be at your door
Five, six, seven, eight, oh, oh, I just can't wait
I'm gonna bang, bang you - I'll shoot you down with my love gun, baby
Bang, bang you - I got you in the heart, you're gonna be mine, yeah
Hands up, reach for the sky, I'll treat you good, 'cause I'm a bad guy
If love's a crime I've got a hundred schemes
I'll be the villain in your book of dreams
chorus
(You know what I'm talking about. Ooh, come on!)
(Listen) - chorus
Bang, bang you, I'll shoot you down with my love gun, baby
Bang, bang you, I got you in the heart, you're gonna be mine, yeah
(repeats out)
NO, NO, NO
Yeah, I'm down and out, but don't count me out
Listen here babe, gonna show you what it's all about
It's time for love, and you're welcome to it
It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it
So here I am, do you want me now, just show me where, and I'll show you
how
I wanna know
Chorus:
No, no, no - don't say you won't if you will
No, no, no, no - don't say you've had your thrill
No, no, no - don't say you can't 'cause you can
No, no, no, no - baby don't say no, no, no
What's mine is mine, and yours is mine
Baby just sign on the dotted line
You got nine lives, like an alley cat
Just stick with me and I'll show you where it's at
You never lied, so take a bow, that was then, babe, and this is now
I wanna know
chorus
Just when you thought it was s-s-safe
Gonna show you where, gonna show you how
Don't stop me now, got my foot in the door
Ooh, don't say no! Don't say no! No, no, no!
chorus
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
HELL OR HIGH WATER
Here I am, all alone, been two days since you've been gone
Three a.m., wide awake, yeah I'm lonely, and I can't take it
You win a few, you lose a few, but I can't help missing you
Can't sleep at night, ain't feelin' right, but I'm gonna get to you
Chorus:
Come hell or high water - I'm gonna love you
Come hell or high water - gonna hold you
Come hell or high water - wrap my arms around you
Come hell or high water
Now you're gone, hurt so bad, feelings I have never had
Been so long since you've been mine, now I'm wound in the lost and found
And there you stand, now I know, I'm never gonna let you go
Ain't foolin' around, no, no, gonna make every minute count
chorus - yeah I'm gonna get to you
Gonna love you, hold you, wrap my arms around you
Baby don't doubt it, ain't no doubt about it
I'm gonna love you - come hell or high water
Gonna hold you - come hell or high water
Wrap my arms around you - come hell or high water - yeah
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water
Yeah!
MY WAY
Oh the heat is on, and my back's against the wall
You know it's tough to be strong, in a world that makes you crawl
I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna give up in the fight
'Cause after the battle is done, all you've got left is your pride
Chorus:
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
Here in the danger zone, it's a jagged edge we climb
But if you take it like stone, and stand on your own
You can make the grade in time
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
'Cause after it's all said and done, I won't be wonderin' why
And I'll know that under the gun, I am the one who's got the right to
decide
chorus
And if you don't play my game I won't play, I'm gonna do it my way
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
'Cause after it's all said and done, I've got the right to decide
chorus repeats 3x
Yeah, I'm gonna do it my way, yeah, I'm gonna do it my way
WHEN YOUR WALLS COME DOWN
Liar, liar, got your pants on fire
I know you want it, you know you want it too
Hey diddle diddle, when the cat wants to fiddle
The kitten's gotta give him the moon
And they say "you gotta look before you leap"
And "we're gonna judge you by the friends you keep"
But you're looking nasty and I'm in too deep
You'll be real happy to be losing sleep
Chorus:
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, you get so crazy when there's no one around
You got your script from a Cosmo guide, "15 Ways to Find a
Lover"
Don't you make me chase you, cause the author lied
You'll get your answers, babe, under the covers
You say "I wanna wait until I'm really sure"
And "I want a love to last forever more"
And "I've got my pride, I've got my dignity"
Well you'll swallow everything when you're with me
chorus
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, ah, you're so
(Come here baby and - auw...)
And they say "you gotta look before you leap"
And "we're gonna judge you by the friends you keep"
Listen, you're looking nasty and I'm in too deep
You'll be real happy to be losing sleep
chorus repeats out
REASON TO LIVE
Out of love, there's nobody around, all I hear is the sound of a broken
heart
Out of time, no more waitin' for you
Now the hurtin's through, and a new day starts
And I feel a change in my life, I sailed into dark and endless nights
And made it alive
Chorus:
Everybody's got a reason to live, baby
Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside
Everybody's got a reason to live, but it can't be your love
Out of touch, with myself for so long, now a feelin' so strong comin' over
me
Down the line, there's a lesson I've learned
You can love and get burned, if it has to be
And I see a change in my life, and I'm not alone when I'm strong inside
And I realize
chorus
And I feel a change in my life
And I'm not alone when I'm strong inside and I realize
chorus repeats 2x
No it can't be your love, no it can't be your love
No it can't be your love
GOOD GIRL GONE BAD
It ain't love, but it ain't so bad
She ain't nothin' like you ever had
Face of a woman, hands of a child, yeah
Been a long time comin', now she's goin' wild
Well I know she ain't the girl next door
She ain't the girl she was before
She's a good girl gone bad, one kiss can drive me mad
Good girl - come on - show me the way
The girl can't help it, she's out of control
I gotta have her, she's so hot to hold, yeah
She's gettin' her way, but I'm havin' my fun
Steamin' up the window with the radio on
She ain't searchin', she knows the score, it ain't love she's lookin' for
But now she's gone too far, she found love in the back of my car
She's a good girl gone bad, one kiss can drive me mad
Good girl - come on - show me the way
She's a good girl gone bad, the best love I ever had
Good girl - come on - take me away, oh, take me away, take me away
She ain't searchin', she knows the score, it ain't love she's lookin' for
But now she's gone too far, I know
She's a good girl gone bad, one kiss can drive me mad
Good girl, come on, show me the way
She's a good girl gone bad, the best love I ever had
Good girl, come on, take me away
TURN ON THE NIGHT
Everyone's thinkin' they're so hot tonite, but there's a fire in your
eyes
Everybody wants you girl, but I want you more than any other guy
You got what I want, I got what you need, fire below
So if you know it, show it, don't let me go, whooah
Turn on the night - I can't wait, can't wait any longer
Turn on the night - yeah, I wanna feel this feeling get stronger
Take me in your arms, I'll take you into my heart
Let's bring this love to life
C'mon baby put your finger on the switch, let's make some sparks ignite
Show me what you want, show me what you need, fire below
C'mon and take me, shake me, don't let me go, whooah
Chorus:
Turn on the night - I can't wait, can't wait any longer
Turn on the night - yeah, I wanna feel this feeling get stronger
Turn on the night - I can't wait, can't wait any longer
Turn on the night - yeah, you know this feeling keeps getting stronger
Hey babe - you got what I want, I got what you need, fire below
So if you know it, show it, don't let me go, whooah
chorus
Turn on the night (repeats out)
THIEF IN THE NIGHT
Far off in the distance, a shape in the night, alright
On a mission of mercy, if the price is right
He tries to possess her and she bites
It's a ritual slaying, but the tables are turned, oh no
And now he's prayin', but it's his turn to burn
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark
In a hotel chamber, on a cryptic note
'Cos where there's fire, there's gotta be smoke, oh no
Footsteps in the twilight, and red nails 'round his throat
It's a ritual slaying, without strings attached, oh no
And now he's praying, but there's no turning back
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark
Like a thief in the night - alright, alright
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart
Like a thief in the night - alright, alright
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night (repeats out)

UNHOLY
I was there through the ages
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the incubus
i lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
Unholy
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies
Unholy - Unholy!
(Instrumental break)
I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy, Unholy, Unholy - Unholy!
TAKE IT OFF
Well my mind is gettin' dirty yeah around eleven thirty, uh huh
I wanna watch some asses shakin' to the noise the boys are makin', uh huh
Ooh, so I hop into my car, hit the local titty bar, uh huh
'Cause that's my kind of situation when I need some perspiration, uh huh
I do my one-step shoppin' for the girl of my dreams
'Cause I can always be sure that she's as good as she seems
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you'd do me
I wanna see what's inside, 'cause you got nothin' to hide
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, yeah!
Wave your panties in the air, lick your lips and shake your hair, uh huh
Ooh, when you spread a little oil, yeah, my blood begins to boil, uh huh
Yeah, it's so hard to choose, when you all look so fine
But I got nothin' to lose but my money and my mind
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you'd do me
I wanna see what's inside, 'cause you got nothin' to hide
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
Ooh, take it off, drive me crazy

TOUGH LOVE

You said I should be gentle and be good, but hoped to hell I would be bad
Chorus:
I wanna take you, baby gonna make you gimme tough love
C'mon and please me, take your time and tease me, gimme tough love
I tie you to the rings, I feel your fever rise

chorus - tough
I never knew how much I needed you till now
But now I know, and tonight I'm gonna show you how

GOD GAVE ROCK 'N' ROLL TO
YOU II
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
"Now listen"
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!"
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul
(Instrumental break)
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
chorus repeats out...
"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can
be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
DOMINO
"Now lemme tell ya my story, I got a man-sized predicament
And it's a big one, goes like this, yeah"
My my, ow, yeah!
Never had confession, never had a home
Never had no worry, until I met Domino
Ain't the virgin Mary, love her I confess
Got my hesitations, 'cause she kisses like the kiss of death
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls
They call her Domino - "so fine"
Got a reputation, haven't got a hope
It's a sticky situation, if she ain't old enough to vote
Loves to play with fire, loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin', 'cause she's a bad habit, bad habit
Bad habit that's good, good, good
They call her Domino, Domino, Domino
(Instrumental break)
"Every damn time I walk through that door, it's the same damn thing
That bitch bends over, and I forget my name - ow!"
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls -
ow!
Loves to play with fire, love her I confess
Got no hesitations, cause she's a bad habit, bad habit, she's a bad habit!
"Yeah"
HEART OF CHROME
You better listen up, since you screwed me you've been on my mind
Yeah, 'til the day we met, I was cruisin', I was doin' fine
Ooh, but now my world's gone crazy and I think about you all the time
I'm gonna tell it to ya baby, it ain't like it was
There'll be no ifs ands or maybes, only justice because
Chorus:
Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar (and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
For your heart of chrome
Yeah, you really made a fool outta me
Everybody knew you used me, but I was just too blind to see
You taped our sexy conversations and you sold 'em to the BBC
You told me people can't be trusted, you gotta watch the things they do
But if you still believe in justice, I'm gonna give it to ya, give it to
ya
Ooh!
chorus
(Instrumental break)
You told me lies about all that you feel
I realize now that nothing was real
You took everything you could beg borrow steal
chorus repeats 2x
THOU SHALT NOT
I lived most of my life in New York City
Born and raised in the promised land
One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"
Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand
He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past"
And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt
not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt
not"
Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy
Tellin' me I'm gonna go down
I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God
And I sure as hell don't give a damn"
He said, "You're long gone, can't you tell?"
And I said "Mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in hell! Yeah!"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt
not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt
not" - yeah
"Thou shalt not" - gotta live my life - "Thou shalt
not"
"Thou shalt not" - any way I please - "Thou shalt not"
Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free, oh yeah
And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his knees
'Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need
Well, I know what I want, I know what I need
Gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
(Instrumental break)
'Cause I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!
"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt
not"
"Thou shalt not" - oh, yes I do - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - I'm gonna live my life - "Thou shalt
not"
"Thou shalt not" - any way I choose - "Thou shalt not"
You got that right.
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU
Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your heart
And find you waitin' up by the light of day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way
Chorus:
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru, it's easy to
see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you, seem to come
easily
'Cause you're everything to me
I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart
But now I realize I was just pretending
Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
chorus
It's gonna take a little time to show you, just what you mean to me, oh
yeah
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see
You're everything I need, yeah
(Instrumental break)
Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya...
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
chorus
You're everything to me, you're everything to me
PARALYZED
Who cares, I'm in a trance, I got no hope, I don't stand a chance
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who knows, well I don't care, 'cause I don't fit in anywhere
But it's all right, yes it is all right
Well, I'm numb but that's my style, I've been numb for a little while
And it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Chorus:
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized, 'cause life has got me paralyzed
Who says I have to pay, I didn't want this anyway
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who says life is good? "Love thyself", well I never could
But it's all right, yes it is all right
I'm here dressed in black, waiting for a heart attack
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I try to talk, I just can't speak, the urge is strong, but my brain is
weak
And it's all right, yes it's all right
chorus
(Instrumental break)
And who says life is good? "Love thyself", well I never could
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized, I'm
paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin' otherwise, I'm paralyzed
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized, I'm
paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin' otherwise, I'm paralyzed
I JUST WANNA
I got a body built for sin and an appetite for passion
Yeah I can see the road to ruin and I'm lookin' for some action
I got my finger on the trigger and a match to the fuse
I'll make someone an offer that's too big to refuse
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that
Chorus:
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna funken you
I'm gonna set the night on fire, shootin' like a Roman Candle
Ooh yeah, I'm burnin' with desire and I'm much too hot to handle
I'm like a runaway, crazy train, I'm out of control
If you try to put the brakes on, I'm still gonna roll
Tired of tryin' to do what you want me to, baby, I'm just tired of you,
yeah
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna for
I just wanna funken you
(Instrumental break)
Wake up, baby, don't you sleep, I can't take this one more week
If I can't go out to play, I can't make it one more day
I wanna play with dynamite, time is right for heavy breathing
Gettin' stone cold crazy till the dawn without a reason
I wanna take me a vacation down a long stretch of track
I'll find a new sensation and I ain't comin' back
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I don't want a romance, or a second chance
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I just wanna for, I just wanna funken
chorus repeats 2x
I just wanna funken you, yeah!

All that style all going to waste
All that beauty, but you never show your face
I'm gonna make my way to you, knock down your door and walk on through
I'm impatient, times a wastin', girl, if you give me an occasion
Chorus:
I'm gonna rise to it, you know I really can do it
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise to it
When you're lying next to me, baby, I can guarantee, I'm gonna rise to it
I'll give you fever, I'll give you chills
Make you a believer, ooh, I'm gonna break your will
A little danger, a little fun, we're gonna take 'em one by one
Walk the wire of desire, and if you dare to take it higher
chorus
Get up, lights, camera, action, it's getting time for the show
Tonight you're the main attraction
And if you want a lover who can play the other role, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
chorus repeats..
BETRAYED
You pay your taxes, you pay the rent, till you haven't got a cent
It's the law of the jungle, if you got the hunger
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Just hold on to what you got (hold on, hold on), just live it to the last
drop
You can't help it, you just can't stop
Betrayed, yeah, life's a bitch, so just don't feel
Betrayed, no, you ain't the only one who's been betrayed, betrayed
Stone cold and all alone, and you're wearin' everything you own
They bare your flesh and strip your soul, but underneath you got a heart
of gold
Just hold on to what you got (hold on, hold on)
Betrayed, you ain't satisfied, I know you feel betrayed
You ain't crucified, so get real, betrayed, betrayed
All alone, far from home, and you're feelin' cold as stone
Don't give up, don't give in, life's a bitch if you lose or win
Betrayed - yeah, you ain't the only one who's been
Betrayed - life's a bitch, if you lose or win - betrayed, betrayed
Betrayed, betrayed (repeats out)
HIDE YOUR HEART
Johnny saw her riding on a street car named Desire, his fate was sealed
She could see him coming like a hundred other liars, it was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town, Tito, he was king of the
streets
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown, Johnny better run,
better run
Chorus:
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire
The ride was over but the story doesn't end, he took her heart
She looked him in the eye and said they couldn't meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa's messin' with someone, it was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run
chorus
Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night, as time stood still
They couldn't hear him coming 'til he had them both in sight
You could feel a chill
A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands, with nothing
won
When someone lies dying, lovers finally understand
chorus..
PRISONER OF LOVE
If I can survive, and if you can't deny it
Don't give me love, no, don't even try it
Just give me your trust, and I'll tell you no lies
This is the truth, and I don't know why
Can't you hear your heart is beatin' (Don't you hear it beatin')
Don't you feel that sweet sweet feelin' (Can't you feel that feelin')
Anytime you need some lovin'
Chorus:
Yeah, I know, I'm a prisoner of love, and I can't break these chains
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again
And if you can't believe all your alibis, I can tell by that look in your
eyes
When we make love, you play hard to bet, you bet, what you give is what
you get
Anytime I see you goin' (Anytime I see you gone)
Everytime the feelin's growin' (This feelin's growin')
Anytime I need your lovin'
chorus
I know it's much too late, but I can't help this feelin', no I can't look
away
chorus repeats out
READ MY BODY
Would you want to know what I'm thinking about
Do you wonder do I wanna make you scream and shout - shout it out
Would you like to see what's in my brain
Does your curiosity make you insane - insane
Baby you're just wastin' precious time, if you want to know what's on my
mind
Chorus:
Read my body, are the letters big enough
Read my body, do you like the book of my love
Read my body, turn the page, get to the good stuff, read my body
Would you like to go on a moonlight ride
Do you think you wanna show me what you're like inside
Would you like to touch, do you wanna know
How good it can get, how far it can go - ooh, let's go, let's go
Baby if you're lost between the lines, open up your eyes and see the signs
chorus
Baby you're just wastin' precious time, if you want to know what's on my
mind
chorus repeats..
LOVE'S A SLAP IN THE FACE
I been up, down, and all around, tell you what I'm feelin'
I been hurt and I've found, been pushed around, it's how I got this
feelin'
I never thought I could hurt so good, no no
I never thought I could lose myself, but I just can't hide it
They never let you down easy, now listen
Chorus:
Sometimes love is like a slap in the face, you been burned and still
It's the same old mistake
If you want my opinion, I'll give it to you straight
Love is like a slap in the face
Singin' na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na
Love's got a hold on me, I can't believe it, but it's plain to see
Turns me upside down and inside out
Don't know why it never fails to make you scream and shout
I never knew I could fool myself, no no, I never thought I could hurt so
good
But I just can't hide it, guess I'm feelin' no pain, now listen
chorus
I never knew I could hurt so good, no no, I never thought I'd say nonono,
no no
But I'm here babe, I got a secret inside
Sometimes love is like a ball and chain
Keeps you up at night, why is it always the same
If you wanna know the truth, it's something I can't explain
Yeah love is like a ball and chain
Yeah na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na (repeats
out)
FOREVER
I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, I could lie to myself, but
it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over
you
I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time
Chorus:
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you forever
I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time
chorus - yeah!
I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cos I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time
chorus repeats 2x
SILVER SPOON
I ain't lookin' like nobody's fool, save it for somebody else
And I ain't makin' any desperate move, 'till I'm satisfied myself
I ain't waitin' for no invitation, I just wanna walk on thru
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said
Chorus:
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize
'Cos what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a silver spoon
In a city where the buildings rise, I was just another face
But mama told me when somebody dies, no one else can take your place
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize
'Cos I've got something for a girl like you, with a silver spoon
I always knew I'd be somebody, I kept it in my head
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said
chorus..
CADILLAC DREAMS
When I was seventeen, found out just what it means
If you can get it free, it just ain't worth a damn
When I heard the preacher say, don't throw your life away
I got that message, and I wrote it on the wall
I don't want anybody tellin' me lies, no, I don't want your diamond ring
'Cause you ain't got my size
I want money, money, that's what I need,
I got Cadillac dreams, please mister don'tcha take it from me
Give me money, money, more than I need, I got Cadillac dreams waitin' on
me
Cadillac dreams, Cadillac dreams
When I had the young boy blues, I paid some young boy dues
I learned the hard way, there's a heartbreak every day
Stone cold reality came crashing down on me
Well life was hard on me, but I still don't give a damn
When I was seventeen I was an angry young man
But I won't let just anybody tell me who I am
I just want money, money, that's all I need
I got Cadillac dreams, hey mister don'tcha take it from me
Give me money, money, more than I need, these Cadillac dreams are waitin'
on me
Didn't have the time of day, till this dream was born
You can't take that away, you can't take that away from me
(Solo)
When I was seventeen, there was this beauty queen
Checked in a one room suite, the back seat of my car
When you want all the best things money can buy
You gotta reach down inside of you, to reach up to the sky
Yeah, I want money, money, that's all I need
I got Cadillac dreams, hey mister you can't take that from me
I want money, money, more than I need, I got Cadillac dreams waitin' on me
Money, money, that's what I need
We're drivin' in my Chevy with my Cadillac dreams
Someday, one day, just you and me
We'll ride inside these Cadillac dreams
KING OF HEARTS
She was just 19, but in here eyes she was old enough to know
We were caught between two city streets, like a bad dream
We could barely survive in the world outside, where the writin's on the
wall
Still she lets me know, we just can't let go, and she takes my heart away
Chorus:
When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it
When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes
I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy
The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me
Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight
Yeah I'm gonna be the only one, to be King of Hearts
Like a neon light, the shadows flash across my empty room
We could leave tonight and save ourselves from a bad scene
When we walk on by with our heads up high, all the faces turn our way
Yeah it's in their eyes, and they realize, we can make our getaway
chorus
(Solo)
chorus to fade
THE STREET
GIVETH AND THE STREET TAKETH AWAY
Hey man, gotta take a stand, so you think that you've been had
I'm here to bet ya, street's gonna get ya, well two out of three ain't bad
Hey man, it's gettin' out of hand, cross your heart and hope to die
You got yours, and I got mine, I'm gonna get what's comin' to ya
Chorus:
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no way
Hey man, don't you understand, you can run but you can't hide
There ain't no life after death, so save your breath (you're gonna)
Be a rock 'n roll suicide
Hey man, do you need a hand, but I ain't no blessing in disguise
Feel the agony, and the ecstacy, it's gonna burn right through ya
chorus
Life's too short, so help yourself, 'cause I don't walk on water
chorus
'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away (repeats out)
YOU LOVE ME TO HATE YOU
You tell lies when you look at me, smile when you look away
Spin a web any fool can see, put your candy on display
It's a game of who needs who, who's on top, me or you
Pleasure and pain feel the same when the night is thru
Chorus:
Girl you want me to cry, feel like I'm gonna die
Girl you want me to bleed, feel the thrill of my need
Girl you want me to bed, wish to hell I was dead
Cos you love me to hate you, yeah you love me to hate you
Girl you love me to hate you, and the more that I hate you I love you
You're like a cat on a hot tin roof, I love it when you scratch and bite
You got my heart in a hangman's noose, pull the rope and make it tight
Love's like a chain holdin' you to me, you're the lock, baby I'm the key
Don't wanna walk 'cause we're caught in a fantasy
chorus
It's a game of who needs who, who's on top, me or you
Pleasure and pain feel the same when the night is thru
chorus
Cos you love me to hate you, yeah you love me to hate you
Girl you love me to hate you, and the more that I hate you I love you
And the more that I hate you I love you
Yeah the more that I hate you I love you
(repeats out)
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HEAVEN
AND HELL
I'd have to be a mindreader, baby, just to know what's goin' on
You don't need no crystal ball, sugar, can't you see my love is strong
Don't you know my temperature is startin' to rise up
And it's draggin' me under your spell
Chorus:
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry
You don't have to see no furtune teller, to see I just can't take no more
You been such a heartbreaker, baby, you keep a lock on heaven's door
Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
And standin' in the shadow of love
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you, I can't hurt you
Don't need your lovin', don't want nothin'
Don't need your sympathy, don't need a friend
I just need somethin' I can believe in, I can believe in
Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
And hidin' in the shadow of love
I'm somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want me, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry
Somewhere between love and hate
Don't know just what I'm feelin', babe I think it's gettin' late
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you..
LITTLE CAESAR
Ten million stories in the city, ten million backs against the wall
Desperation's out tonight, you can cut it with a knife
Everybody wants to have it all
Well they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough
Chorus:
Hey little Caesar, nobody messing with you
Hey little Caesar, go show 'em what you can do
Nobody said that it was pretty, you haven't got a penny or a prayer
You know it's gonna be a fight, if you wanna see your name in lights
Ain't nobody gives a damn out there
Well you got your guts, you got your pride
But you'll never let them see inside
chorus
(Spoken:)
Well you don't believe in the books and rules
'Cause you just believe in what you know is cool
Well they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough - I can't hear you
They just don't understand, you gotta fight to be a man
chorus
Hey little Caesar, oh yeah, that's what it is
Hey little Caesar, yeah
BOOMERANG
Gonna throw down the dice on a roll, it's a showdown, gonna walk on hot
coals
Cut the deck, better place your bet, 'cause the game ain't over yet
Wanna keep you under lock and key, can't you see what you do to me
Get the noose, I know I'm gonna hang, 'cause you're like a boomerang,
boomerang
On the way up, you change your tune, so pay up, and it ain't too soon
Can't make up or break up, can't feel a thing, you want a piece of
everything
First you're cold and then you're hot, you're in the mood and then you're
not
Yeah, I know I'll get a bang, 'cause you're like a boomerang, boomerang
You can slip and you can slide, but there ain't nothin' you can hide
You just can't say no, well here I come, baby, and here I go
A boomerang, a boomerang
