One Night Love Affair

Shes Only Happy When Shes Dancin

Run To You

Heaven

Youre the silent type

And you caught my eye
But I never thought that Id be touchin you

Monday mornin - its time to get up

Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus
Looks in the window and fixes her hair
Nobody notices and nobody cares

She says her love for me could never die

But thatd change if she ever found out about
you and I

Oh - thinkin about all our younger years

There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Oh - but her love is cold

It wouldnt hurt her if she didnt know,
cause...

Now nothin can take you away from me

Weve been down that road before
But thats over now
You keep me comin back for more

How was I to know

Id let my feelins go
And that Id be yours before the night was
through
One night love affair
Tryin to make like we dont care
We were both reachin out for somethin
One night love affair
Pretendin it aint there
Oh - and now were left with nothin
When the mornin breaks
We go our separate ways
If the night was made for love it aint for
keeps
But I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say Im in this much too deep
Now youre outta reach
One night love affair
Tryin to make like we dont care
We were both reachin out for somethin
One night love affair
Pretendin it aint there
Oh - and now were left with nothin
Solo
One night love affair
Tryin to make like we dont care
We were both reachin out for somethin
One night love affair
Pretendin it aint there
Oh - and now were left with nothin

She admits it aint no kinda life

Workin 9 to 5 you know...
Shes only happy when shes dancin
There aint no place shed rather be
When shes dancin
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies
When Friday evenin finally rolls around
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown
Goes to a place they call The Ball And Chain
Nothin matters until Monday so she goes insane
Well its a bitch tryin to make ends meet
But thats the way the story goes
Shes only happy when shes dancin
There aint nothin makes her feel so free
When shes dancin
The girls outrageous and its plain to see
Solo
She aint got much but she got independence
Ya - shes doin alright
His eyes are on her as the evenins endin
But she aint goin for no mystery
Because nobody rides for free
Shes only happy when shes dancin
There aint no place shed rather be
When shes dancin
Just her heart and her soul and her
fantasiesdancin

Somebody
I bin lookin for someone
Between the fire and the flame
Were all lookin for somethin
To ease the pain
Now who can you turn to
When its all black and white
And the winners are losers
You see it every night
I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
Hey what about you
Everybody needs somebody
When youre out on the front line
And youre watchin them fall
It doesnt take long to realize
It aint worth fightin for
I thought I saw the Madonna
When you walked in the room
Well your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right throughoh they cut right through
I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
Hey what about you
we all needs somebody
Another night another lesson learned
Its the distance keeps us sane
But when the silence leads to sorrow
We do it all againall again

Summer Of 69
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it til my fingers bled
It was the summer of 69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known wed never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - Id always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Aint no use in complainin
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenins down at the drive-in
And thats when I met you
Standin on your Mamas porch
You told me that youd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69
Man we were killin time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin can last forever-forever, no
And now the times are changin
Look at everything thats come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin on your Mamas porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69

Kids Wanna Rock

Turned on the radio
Sounded like a disco
Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
But I couldnt find no rock n roll
This computerized crap aint gettin me off
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
London to L.A.
Talkin bout the new wave
For a couple of bucks you get a weird haircut
And waste your life away
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Get me my D.J.
I got somethin hes gotta play
Wanna hear it I cant wait
So turn it up, turn it up...
Kick down the barricades
Listen to what the kids say
From time to time people change their minds
But the music is here to stay
Ive seen it all from the bottom to the top
Everywhere I go kids wanna rock
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

Its Only Love

with Tina Turner
When the feelin is ended
There aint no use pretendin
Dont ya worry - its only love
When your world has been shattered
Aint nothin else matters
It aint over - its only love
And thats all - ya
When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It aint easy - but its only love
And if your life aint worth livin
And youre ready to give in
Just remember - that its only love
You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
You keep lookin back in desperation
Over and over and over again
When your world is shattered
Aint nothin else matters
It aint over - its only love
If your life aint worth livin
And youre ready to give in
Just remember - that its only love
Ya - thats all
Ya it aint easy baby
But its only loveand thats all

Long Gone

Aint Gonna Cry

The telephones bin ringin

ringin off the wall
Its your Las Vegas lawyer
another long distance call
He says you get the house and the car
And I get the clothes I got on

Well I hardly knew ya baby

And you were comin on
Mama told me thered be days like these

Now shes gone

Long, long, long, long gone
Now Im a happy boy
Shes long, long, long, long gone
Operator get me Manhattan
Get my baby on the line
Sooner or later shes gotta realize
That all my feelins were for real
But maybe she was leadin me on
Chorus
She took the Frigidair
She got my favourite chair
You could say she got the best of me
Its like a legal crime
But in a matter of time

Let Me Down Easy

Well I saw you on the avenue
And as usual youre with someone new
I guess theres nothing left for me to do but turn away
Im growing tired of all your alibis
There aint one that you can justify
I aint gonna take it anymore and Ill tell you why
You think it doesnt show - I feel ya lettin go
If youre gonna let me down let me down easy
Its time we got it straight - you know its hard to take
If youre gonna let me down let me down easy
Weve been going through some changes
And Im well aware of all the dangers
Sometimes you look at me so strange it leaves me cold
Now youve gone and blown your cover
I know all about your temporary lovers
I aint taking it another day and thats for sure
You think it doesnt show - I feel ya lettin go
If youre gonna let me down let me down easy
Its time we got it straight you know its hard to take
If youre gonna let me down let me down easy
Ahwhen I look at you now
I cant believe youre leaving
All those years and youve got nothing to say
You turn around and walk away
If youre gonna let me down let me down easy
If youre gonna let me down let me down easy
Oh - you gonna let me down
You gotta let me down - let me down easy

Teacher Teacher
Just when I thought Id finally learned my lesson well
There was more to this than meets the eye
And for all the things you taught me, only time will tell
If Ill be able to survive
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
Can you tell me all I need to know?
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
Or will I fall when you let me go?
Am I ready for the real world, will I pass the test?
You know its a jungle out there
Aint nothin gonna stop me, I wont be second best
But the jokes on those who believe the
systems fair - oh yeah
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
Can you tell me if Im right or wrong?
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
I wanna know whats goin on
So the years go on and on
But nothings lost or won
What you learned is soon forgotten
They take the best years of your life
Try to tell you wrong from right
But you walk away with nothing
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
Can you tell me what I need to know?
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
Or will I fall when you let me go?
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
Can you tell me if Im right or wrong?

The Boys Night Out

Draw The Line

Play To Win

Too Hot To Handle

Out on the street on a hot summer night - with

nothin to do
A little bit high, a little bit crazy
With nothin to lose

Ive been accused of jealousy

While youve been runnin round
To think that I trusted you and you let me
down

So your friends got ya thinkin that its all sewn up

Well I got news for you, ya, Ive had enough
You been comin on lately like youve got it made
Well now heres a twist, you better hit it babe

She dont care about diamond rings

She dont need no fancy things
The girl dont want a flashy car
Dont wanna be no movie star

Well, me and the boys were makin some

noise - we were lettin off steam
Well, I looked at Keith and Keith looked at me
And we stole that machine

You always liked the spotlight

Now youre the talk of the town
If troubles what youre lookin for, well its
what youve found

Ya - when shes all alone

You can call her on the telephone
Well hey - dont start something you cant stop
Cuz shes too hot, baby - too hot to handle

Its the boys night out

Its the boys night out
Gonna scream gonna shout
On the boys night out

Where will you be tonight?

Its time that you realized
Im no fool, so where do you draw the line?

Dont mess with me cause Im dangerous

And I always play to win
Dont mess with me cause Im dangerous
Dont mess with me, you cant take it
And I always play to win
Dont mess with me cause Im dangerous

A hand on the stick, a hand on the wheel - we

were havin a laugh
When you look in the mirror and see those
red lights flashin
Theres no turnin back
110 through those hot summer streets with
the heat on our trail
We ran every light as we ran from the law
Man, you shoulda been there - ya you
shoulda been there
Its the boys night out
Its the boys night out
Gonna scream gonna shout
On the boys night out

I really gotta know

Where do you draw the line?
So whats it take to please you?
I just keep gettin burned
If this is how you treat your friends you got a
lot to learn
You were never one for promises
You think theyre made to break
Ive heard of being pushed around but this
takes the cake

Never surrender - never surrender

Where will you be tonight?

Its time that you realized
Im no fool, so where do you draw the line?
I really wanna know
Where do you draw the line?
Where do you draw the line? - oh ya

We pushed into the night til the sun came up

on Interstate 5
A little bit tired a little bit hazy
Gonna cross that line

I wont question your need to be free

But when you got the answer maybe come
and see me
If you need me

Its the boys night out

Its the boys night out
Gonna scream gonna shout
On the boys night out

Where do you draw the line?

I really wanna know now
Where do you draw the line?

Youre doin it every night
You play with my emotions
Before we go and fight - lets get one thing straight
Is it gonna be him or me?
You know I need an answer
Now its down to the wire and it just wont wait
If theres something goin on
I wanna hear it from you face to face
Yeah, you know it wont be long
Before you make your last mistake, cuz you were
Reckless - youve got it comin to you
Reckless - what am I supposed to do baby?
Reckless - guess Im a lot like you
We gotta talk it out
Theres three sides to every story
Ya, theres your side, theres my side and then theres the truth
You say were all the same
But I know you aint no angel
Cuz who you gonna blame
When you wake up beside some stranger?
Cuz you were...
Reckless - youve got it comin to you
Reckless - now what am I supposed to do baby?
Reckless - guess Im a lot like you
Guess Im a lot like you ...
