Bernie Marsden [Guitar]

Now when I first met you
I was rolling along,
Just a bar room crooner
Singing heartbreak songs,
An' I supposed I could never get next to you.
But, you seemed quite
happy with my company
You kept my body heat steady at 103,
With your mouth full of gimme
An' your body full of much obliged.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
What you do to me.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'Cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury.
Bloody luxury.


You're a five star woman,
An' you know what to give
To fill a part time loser
Full of reasons to live,
But, there's no doubt about it
I'm taking a chance on you.
Becos' you get my heart beating heavy,
Make my knees go weak.
You get me so damn nervous
I can hardly speak,
But, nothing's gonna stop me
Hanging on my good luck charm.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
What you do to me.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'Cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury.
Bloody luxury.


It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
Honey what you do to me.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'Cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury.
Bloody luxury.
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
Honey what you do to me.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'Cos no matter what you do to me,
No matter what you do to me,
It's bloody luxury.
Bloody luxury.

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever,
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night,
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life.

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind.
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry.

The sun is shining
Oh, but, it's raining in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted,
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more, more, more.
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution,
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad.

The sun is shining
Oh baby, it's still raining in my heart, in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain, no, no, no.

(Solo)

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain...

Crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.

I don't need a doctor, I don't need a priest,
I don't need no superstitious cures for my release.
I'm flesh an' blood, skin an' bone.
A little petticoat company can't get me stoned.

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight.

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls.
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night.

I got a one track notion on a feminine squeeze,
A sackfull of love an' a mindful of fantasies.
A midnight rider on a stallion steam,
I got an old man's weakness hanging on a young man's dream.

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight.

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls.
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night.

(Solo)

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight.

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,

Bring on the dancing girls...

No I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find
what I'm looking for
Oh Lord I pray
You give me strength to carry on
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along
the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road
I've ever known
Like a hobo
I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in
need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along
the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road
I've ever known
Like a hobo
I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again

An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road
I've ever known
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along
the lonely street of dreams

Well, I love the way you walk
With your skin tight stride,
You got my eyes wide open
An' my loose tongue tied.
A French kiss mouth
An' a smile so bad,
You're the finest woman
That I ever had.
So it's alright,
Do anything you wanna do.

Nobody had to tell you
How to make a man's heart bleed,
Your mama always knew
You was born to succeed.
I can see the honey juice
Dripping off your lips,
Girl, you got the Midas Touch
It's in your fingertips.
But it's alright,
Do anything you wanna do.

'Cos after midnight, I'll be alright
Riding on Cupid's train,
You give me loving, like I've never had before,
I'm back in the saddle again.

So give me love an' affection,
Love an' affection.
A little love an' affection
Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way.

You put your arms around me
Like a circle 'round the sun,
Your eyes turn on the hypnotising game
You play for fun.
I'm caught in your spell
Just like the spider an' the fly,
An' I can't break away from you
No matter how I try.
But, it's alright,
Do anything you wanna do.

'Cos after midnight, I'll be alright
Riding on Cupid's train,
You give me loving, like I've never had before,
I'm back in the saddle again.

So give me love an' affection,
Love an' affection.
A little love an' affection
Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way.

(Solo)

'Cos after midnight, I'll be alright

Love an' affection.
A little love an' affection

Baby, baby, love an' affection.

Love, love, love.
Love, love, love.
I need love an' affection,
Sure 'nuff goes a long, long way.

I'm goin' looking for a woman
With the night in her eyes,
Someone to take all the small talk
And laugh at the lies.
A high heeled double trouble backstage queen,
Who gets what she wants
And knows where she's been.

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand.
So I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight.

You can see in my face
Just what I'm hoping to find,
I want a twelve bar beauty
With a one track mind.
I don't drive babe, but, I can steer,
We got the green light let's get out of here.

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand.
So I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight.

When I saw you across the floor,
I could feel I wanted more.
I get lonely in the night,
I would do anything, anything you say,
Do anything to take the pain away.
So those lonely nights will be alright,
Don't worry honey, we can put out the light.
I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight.

So I'm looking for a woman who got no shame,
'Cos in the morning there'll be no one to blame.
A high heeled double trouble backstage queen,
Who gets what she wants and knows where she's been.

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand.
So I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight.

Rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
Rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away.
Rock 'n' roll women, I said rock 'n' roll women,
I said rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away.

Rock 'n' roll women...

(Solo)

Talkin' 'bout rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
Rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away.
Rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
I said rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away...

I take what I want
An' I steal anything that I need,
I would do anything
To get my satisfaction guaranteed.
'Cos I'm looking for love,
The time has come.
I'm looking for love,
An' I mean to get me some.
I'm looking for love right now,
An' I'm rough an' ready.


All of you woman better
Lift up your skirts an' run,
'Cos I aim to shoot my pistol
An' fire like a Gatlin gun.
'Cos I'm looking for love,
Believe me when I say.
I'm looking for love,
In the worst kind of way.
I'm looking for love right now
An' I'm rough an' ready.
Rough an' ready...


Rough an' ready.


I take what I want

I would do anything
To get my satisfaction guaranteed.

An' I mean to get me some.
I'm looking for love right now,
An' I'm rough an' ready.
Rough an' ready...

Get ready for Judgement day
An' the final curtain call,
Don't lie when you testify
'Cos the Good Lord know you're all.

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves.

When Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Laying the Law on the line,
He said don't come knocking
On the Pearly Gates
If all you did was have a real good time.

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves.

For what we are about to receive
May the Lord make us truly thankful.

Saints an' sinners.

I stand guilty of a thousand crimes,
An' I suffer temptation still,
Show me a man who won't give it to his woman
An' I'll show you somebody who will.

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves.

For what we are about to receive
May the Lord make us truly thankful.

I'm down on love
An' I don't give a damn,
I take my chances
Whenever I can.
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Another sacrifice,
For giving love to woman
With a heart stone cold as ice.
I'm down on love
An' I'm clean out of pain,
I ain't no stranger
To the crying game.
Too scared to suffer,
An' too blind to see,
But, I played with fire
An' I got what was coming to me.
Now, one more heartache
Don't bother me,
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery.
I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.
Victim of love, victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.
I'm down on love
An' I feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
'Cos I broke the rules.
So do me no favours
With your cool advice,
I know the losing cost,
An' I'll pay the price.
One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery.
I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.


One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery.
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love

If you feel the rolling thunder
An' your eyes see lightning strike,
Don't be afraid, just call on me
I'll bring you shelter from the night.

When the wind is howling
I'll hold you near,
An' soothe your troubled mind
With a little bit of this,
An' a little bit of that
I'll make you leave all your worries behind.

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'Cos I got what you need.
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me.

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood.
Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood.
Youngblood.

When you're burning hot with fever
An' you shake down to your bones,
Don't get yourself into a cold sweat
'Cos it's just your bad blood throwing stones.
The devil has got your number
An' he wants you hanging on a line,
But, before the night is over, baby
I'm gonna make you mine.

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'Cos I got what you need.
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me.

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood.
Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood.
I'm coming to get you.

(Solo)

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'Cos I got what you need.
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me.

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood...

I'm gonna make you mine.

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
ain't no love 'cos you ain't around
baby, since you been around.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Every place that I go, well, it seems so strange.
Without you, baby, baby, things have changed.
Now that you re gone y'know the sun don't shine
from the city hall to the county line.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Every place that I go, well, it seems so strange.
Without you, baby, baby, things have changed.
Now that you re gone y'know the sun don't shine
from the city hall, woman, to the county line.
And that's why ain't no love in the heart of the city,
there ain't no love in the heart of town.
There ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
There ain't no love in the heart of the city,
there ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
ain't no love 'cos you ain't around
'cos you ain't around.

I don't go looking for trouble,
It's always coming my way,
But, I've been looking for you,
And like the summer sun, you welcome my day.
So come on, come on,
And give your man some rock 'n' roll,
And get yourself some sweet rock 'n' roll.
I'm just a soldier of fortune,
Must be the gypsy in me.
I ain't along when I say
I never needed love so badly before.
Hear me singing "Come on, come on"!
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
And get yourself some sweet rock 'n' roll.
(Solo)
I keep singing, "Come on, come on"!
"Come on, come on"!
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
Come on and get some sweet rock,
Come on and get some sweet rock,
Come on and get some sweet rock 'n' roll.
Must be the gypsy in me,
Can see the angel in you.

Only my soul, stops me crying,
Wondering why I feel alone.
And only my love keeps me from
Weeping, so bad,
Giving me strength, to carry on.
Lead me on thro' restless waters,
Walk with me along the way.
Live the moment, and tomorrow.
For the Lord will take it all
On judgement day.
Broken dreams lay all around me,
Sad eyed children of despair.
Whispered voices in the distance
Call me on to who knows where.
Lead me on thro' restless waters,
Walk with me along the way.
Live the moment, and tomorrow.
'Cos the Lord will take it all on judgement day,
And the Lord will take it all on judgement day.
Hear me crying out for love.
Hear me crying out for love.
I'll never let you know it,
I can only show it in my song.
Only my soul.
(Solo)
Hear me crying out for love.
Hear me crying out for love.
I'll never let you know it,
I can only show it in my song.
Only my soul...

Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn,
Knowing I must face another day.
Sleepless night behind me,
Just a memory of pain,
My heart has always
been a cross to bear.
Lord I know the sun shine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away.
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today.
All around me, shadows fall,
Tho' day has just begun,
I realise I'm on my own again.
Memories of broken dreams,
As distant as the sun,
Are drifting like an echo
in the wind.
Lord, I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today.
Babe, I thought about it,
But, it just ain't done
good,
You hold my heart and
soul within your hand.
All the time, you're in my
mind,
I never thought you
could be so blind,
Maybe someday I will
understand.
Lord, I know the sun
shine,
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today, no more.
Hey, mama you drive me
crazy,
Knowing you're my
hearts desire,
Why'd you go and hang
me up this way.
You've given me love,
given me love,
Now tell me what you
were thinking of,
Why'd you go and steal
my soul away.
Lord I know the
sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of
rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today.
I ain't gonna cry no
more.

You never call me, babe,
Until your man is gone,
I know it's you
When I pick up the
telephone.
You ask me how I am
And if I'm doing well,
When all you want from
me
Is just to ring your bell.
Take your time, we can
do some lines,
'Cos it's alright.
We can feel fine drinking
midnight wine,
'Cos it's alright.
Black and blue, black

I said come over here,

And love me till I'm

You got the key to love
Dressed in your innocent
smile,
You know you touched

So won't you stay for a

I was dreaming of the past,
Why do good times never last....
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day....
I was hungry, felling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without friend...
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call....
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul....
Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again....
Across the water the sun is shining,
But, will it ever be the same....
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call....
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul....
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own....
Like a blindman I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know where it's coming from....
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call....
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul....
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own....
Like a blindman I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know where is coming from....

I take what I want,
And I got my eye on you.
It's late in the evening
What are you gonna do.

I got the place,
If you got the time,
I got the motion, baby,
If you got the mind.

So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache.

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road.
Carry your load, down the long, winding road.

All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart,
Put a little love in your heart.

I know what I want,
And it's close to the bone.
Sooner or later, baby,
I'll be taking you home.

You got the cool,
But, you give me the heat.
You got the music, baby,
But, you give me the beat.

So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache.

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road.
Carry your love,
Down the long, winding road.

All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart.

(Solo)

Wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache.

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road.
Carry your love
Down the long, winding road.
You got to carry your load
Down the long, winding road...

I was born under a bad sign,
left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows just
what it means to lose control
But I took all the heartache
and turned it to shame
Now I'm movin', movin' on
and I ain't taking the blame
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe:
I'll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying
A fool for your loving no more,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more


I'm tired of hiding my feelings,
you left me lonely too long
I gave my heart and you tore it apart
Oh, baby you done me wrong
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe:
I'll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying
A fool for your loving no more,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more


So I can say it to you, babe:
I'll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying
A fool for your loving no more,

I've spend close on sixteen years
Watching your pretty flower grow....

Everything you know
About the oceans and the skies,
The mountains and the trees,
And then I'm gonna tell you about
The birds and the honey bees....

So come a little closer,
Let me whisper in your ear....
How the Good Lord in His Wisdom
Made you so, and put you here....
He played a little game
Called'The Apple and the Snake',
When the lady took her first sweet bite
The Snake made no mistake....

Don't wanna be teased.

Getting down on her knees.

I'm ready an' willing
To reach for the sun,
So I can get me some loving
Before I'm gone.

I want more, more, more, more,

Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.

All night long.
Rope an' ride me, baby,
Do me wrong.

Roll me over, make be bleed,
I'd dance with the devil
To get what I need.

Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.

I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'm talking about sweet satisfaction,
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
Sweet satisfaction, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing.

I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I keep on looking for

Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking...

I know I'm the danger zone
If I leave her all alone.

She ain't black, but, she got soul,
She ain't young, she ain't old,
Shine like silver, burn like gold.

I can tell by the way you walk,
You give it all away
By the sweet way that you talk....yes you do....
You got long legs,a black girl sway,
The way you shake your booty
Gives your schoolgirl game away....yes it does....
You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun....
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run....
I know you know
You got what it takes,
You got the fever,
But, you give me the shakes....yes you do....
Straight out of Lolita
With nothing to lose,
When I got your number
My juke box blew a fuse....yes it did....
You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun....
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run....you better run....
Or you better hide....
Sweet talker, bad daughter,
You've just begun....
The bitch is in heat
So you better run....

Tonight's the night
To come in out of the cold,
I've waited such a long, long time
I'm getting out of control
All or nothing
That's what I want from you,
I'm gonna give you everything I got
Now what are you gonna do

Don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way
'Cos it's too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can't run anymore
Cos' it's too late for you now

My heart is burning
An' the fire is hot,
My temperature is rising, rising, rising
I'm ready to rock
All or nothing
I'm gonna make you see,
I've made up my mind, for sure, this time
You're gonna spend the night with me

So don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way
'Cos it's too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can't run anymore
'Cos it's too late for you now

So don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way

Too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can't run anymore
'Cos it's too late for you now...

I've been a gypsy
For a thousand years
A victim of circumstance
I go wherever my destiny calls
I'm caught in a game of chance

I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside

No fame or fortune,
No luck of the draw
When I dance with Queen of Hearts
A jack of all trades
But, a loser in love
It's tearing my soul apart

Still I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in

The jack of diamonds
An' the ace of spades
Try to use me, and to abuse me
It seems the dealer
Wont give me a chance
I'm victim of circumstance

So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in...

I want you
I need your rhyme,
But, you keep saying, babe,
It's gonna take time
I know the heartache
I put you through,
Believe me, babe,
I'm gonna make it up to you

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
To prove it to you...

So many feelings
I can't explain,
I never thought I'd ever cause you any pain
Now I'm alone here
An' I can't hide,
The sun don't shine for me
Without you by my side

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time
To prove it to you...

An' I'm gonna prove it...

I want you
Right by my side
'Cos you're the only one who keeps me satisfied
I need your loving,
I need your charms,
I can't stand the through of you
In someone else's arms

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time
To prove it to you...
An' I'm gonna prove it...

I believe my love for you
Is a love that will last forever,
An' I'm here to testify
I'm a prisoner of your heart
Baby don't you believe
When I tell you I love you
That I really mean it,
Don't you walk away,
Don't you turn your back on me

I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it

Guilty of love,
Guilty of love,
Guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
Guilty of love,
Guilty,
In the first degree

I can never forget on the times
When I took what you gave me for granted
So I stand accused
An' I plead guilty to the crime
You can lock me away if you want
Just as long as your arms are around me,
An' I won't mind
If you just throw away the key

I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it

Guilty of love,
Guilty of love,
Guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
Guilty of love,
Guilty,
In the first degree

Guilty of love...

Guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it

Guilty of love,
Guilty of love,
Guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
Guilty of love,
Guilty

Guilty of love,
Guilty of love,
Guilty,
In the first degree...

I keep hangin' on the promise of love
Your eyes tell me that I'm gonna see
I feel the hunger like a starving man
Honey, when you stand close to me

I start to shiver, I start to shake,
Chills up an' down my spine,
I'm in the mood for action
In need of satisfaction,
Babe, I'm gonna make you mine

Now I believe in you,
An' everything that you do
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough

I've got the weakness of an ordinary man
I need the comfort of womanly mind,
But, I get nervous when I think about
So many women an' so little time

But, I believe in you,
An' everything you do
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough

I start to shiver, I start to shake,
Chills up an' down my spine,
I get so nervous when I think about
So many women an' not enough time

But, I believe in you,
An' everything that you do
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough

I'm hungry for love...

Who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I looked around an' what did I see
Broken hearted people staring at me,
All searching 'cos they still believe,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no

Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
I know good loving an' I'm a friend of pain,
But, when I read between the lines it's all the same

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

So who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Lord, have mercy,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

Love ain't no stranger,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger...

You talk too much,
Never saying what's on your mind,
It's written on your face,
An' in the words you hide behind.
I know what you want,
I can see what you're looking for,
I know what you want from me,
An' I'm gonna give you more.

I'm gonna slide it in
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it, in baby.

Sometimes you seem
Just like a stranger to me,
But, all the games you play
Make it so easy to see.
You're looking for love,
Tho' you try to deny,
The things you put me through
Tell me what I've got to do to you.

I'm gonna slide it in,
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in.

You talk too much,
Always treating me so unkind,
I know what I've got to do,
To get me some peace of mind.

I'm gonna slide it in,
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it in,
Right to the top.
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop.
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it,
Slide it in, slide it in,
Right to the top, baby.

You keep on pushing, babe,
Like I've never known before
You know you drive me crazy, child,
An' I just wanna see you on the floor
I wanna superstitious woman
An' she got a superstitious mind

I can't see you, baby,
I can't see you anymore, no more
You keep on loving me
Like I've never known before
I wanna superstitious woman
With a superstitious, a superstitious mind, an' I don't mind, baby

My heart is beating faster, babe,
It's beating like a big bass drum
You know you got me speeding, child,
Faster than a bullet from a gun
You're a superstitious woman
An' I got a superstitious mind, an' I don't care

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

I don't care about, oh,
I don't care about love, no more
The way you keep abusing me
Oh, I can't take no more
I wanna woman
She got a superstitious mind

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
Take me down slow an' easy,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

Take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone...

I never knew what a kiss could mean
Until the first time I kissed you,
You took my love in the palm of your hand
An' showed me what a woman could do
Now I don't want sugar coated loving
Just silver tongue tenderness,
You gotta give me a certain satisfaction
The kind of love you seal with a kiss

An' spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it

I can remember, I can recall
When I first set my eyes on you,
I'll never forget the thrill of it all
Dreaming of the things we could do
Baby, you must be crazy,
Fooling with a man like me,
'Cos I roll my dice with a heart of ice
An' make it clear to see

Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it

I never knew what a kiss could mean
'Til the first time I kissed you,
You took my love in the palm of your hand
An' showed me what a woman could do
Your sweet caress an' tenderness
Can take the pain away,
The things that you do make a queen out of you
An' make me a king for a day

If you don't like it, spit it out

Now I know what your love can do
I'll be hanging 'round your door,
An' I'm gonna love you baby,
I'll give you more than you bargained for

Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it

Spit it out, if you don't like it...

I'm running away from a feeling
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But, my heart keeps telling me no

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of love

I've been living so long in the darkness
I know the cold embrace of the night,
When morning comes I close my eyes
'Cos I'm blinded with the light
Taking a chance of a feeling
Is like waiting for a flower to grow,
So I stand at the crossroad, baby,
Wondering which way to go

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow.
Standing in the shadow of love

I'm running away from a feeling,
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But, my heart keeps telling me no

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love,
Too Many people
Are standing in the shadow,
Standing in the shadow of love...

When I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born,
I was blinded by the lighting
An' baptised in the storm.
My father started crying
When he saw what he had done,
But, my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son,
He is a child of Babylon.
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son.
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.
I am a child,
A child of Babylon.


When I've fooled around so many times
When I've known it ain't been right,
But, I paint it all in colours
When it really should be black and white.
I sail my ship through muddy waters,
Try to open every door,
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more.
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son.
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run.
I am a child,
A child of Babylon.


On my day of judgement
I know how it will be,
I'm prepared to meet my maker
With no hope for charity.
I'll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I've done,
'Cos there ain't guardian angel
For a child of Babylon.


I am a child,
A child of Babylon.
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son.
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run.
I am a child,
A child of Babylon.

Child of Babylon

Are you woman enough
To take a man like me,
Baby, I know what you got
You make it easy to see.
Now I wanna give you my loving
Believe me, babe, it's true,
Maybe more than you bargained for,
But, now it's up to you.
So if you want it, come an' get it,
I got something for you.

Are you a women who takes
Anything you want,
Or the kind who says that you do
Then tell me later you don't.

You gotta take me as you find me, baby,
'Cos what you see is what you get.
So if you want it, come an' get it,
I got something for you.

I'll leave it up to you,
It's right to you baby.

If you want it, come an' get it,
I'll leave it up to you...

I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love,
Before I turn and walk away.
I've had enough of holding on
The promises of yesterday.
Every day of my life, it seems,
Trouble's knocking at my door,
It's hard to try and satisfy
When you don't know what you're fighting for
Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long.
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last.
Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,
I couldn't take anymore.
I never hide the feeling inside,
And though I'm standing my back to the wall,
A little bit of rain must fall.
I know that even in a summer love
But, every road I take I know
Where it's gonna lead me to,
Because I've travelled every highway
And they all keep coming back to you.
Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long.
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last.
Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,
I couldn't take anymore.
Don't break my heart.


Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,
I couldn't take anymore...
Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,
I couldn't take anymore...
Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,

I have never known a woman
Who loves me like you do,
You treat me like a dog
An' make me shake my tail for you.
I know the game you're playing
When you're turning all your tricks.
It's written on your face
You just want your business fixed.
No, I don't need a crystal ball
To see what's in your mind.
If I don't give you what you want
You treat me so unkind,
But if I'm good and give you love
You throw me down a bone,
But if I'm bad you make me sad
An' leave my love alone.


Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl.
Girl, girl.


Pretty little crazy white girl.
I know, baby, you ain't fooling
With all your high class schooling,
You want everything your own way.
If I could, I would
Do every little thing a good man should,
Baby, I'd really give it to you
Every day.


Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl.
Girl.
Mean mistreater,
There ain't no one to beat you,
But you treat me so bad.


I've never known a woman
Who loves me like you do,
You treat me like a dog
An' still I shake my tail for you.


Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl.
Girl, girl.


Pretty little crazy white girl,
Girl, she treat me so bad.
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Girl, come on baby.
Pretty little crazy white girl,

I've never had a home sweet home life
An' I don't want a nine to five,
So many women I know
Think they can tie me down,
But, I will never let them take me alive.
I hit an' run, hit an' run, hit an' run,
Now some women say
they don't want nothing,
But a sweet talkin' bull of a man,
I've heard it before, I can't hear it no more
'Cos they all take whatever they can,
But, still I want a heartbreaker,
A love maker, a soul shaker,
A women who can turn me on,
For a just little hit an' run, hit an' run.
She can be a love stealer,
A double dealer, a free wheeler
As long as she can turn me on
For just a little hit an' run,
A little bit of hit an' run.
You can keep your lock and key
No ball and chain can harness me.
Take me home tonight,
Love and treat me right
But, in the morning you'll find me gone,
I hit an' run.


Hit an' run...

I'm ready for you,
Are you ready for me.
I've got a burning heart,
It won't let me be.
I feel the hunger, my spirit yearns,
I've got to feed the fever
Of a love that burns.
I walk the street round midnight,
Looking for a little hot stuff,
I can't get enuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Hot stuff, hot stuff.
I'm hard to handle,
Too hot to hold.
I can't seem to satisfy
My heart an' soul.
I need a woman to set me free,
A little Miss Understanding
To feel the need in me.
I walk the street round midnight,
Looking for a little hot stuff,
I can't get enuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff, hot stuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff.


I'm ready for you,
Are you ready for me.
I've got a burning heart,
It won't let me be.
I feel the hunger, my spirit yearns,
I've got to feed the fever
Of a love that burns.
I walk the street round midnight
Looking for a little hot stuff,
I can't get enuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Hot stuff, hot stuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff, hot stuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff.
Hot stuff, can't get enuff hot stuff.

I've been burning my bridges
For too many years,
Drowning the sorrow
Of too many tears.
Women and whiskey
Are my only friends,
One gives me strength,
One just pretends.

I've been waiting my whole life
For things to work out right,
But, those lonely days turn into lonely nights.
Yes, I do.

I've heard all the wisdom
Of prophets and seers,
It don't soothe my passion
And it don't ease my fears.
Burned by love
And blinded by snow,
Bad luck and trouble
Are with me wherever I go.

I've been waiting my whole life
For things to work out right,
But those lonely days turn into lonely nights.
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Lonely days, lonely nights.

Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright.
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright for me, for me.

(Solo)

Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright...

When ice cold winds of winter
Chill me to the bone,
An' thoughts of summer breezes
Turn my heart to stone.
That's when I need a hand to guide me,
When it's more than I can bear.
A shoulder I can cry on,
Someone to lead me there.
An' give me love,
Give me love,
Till the day I die,


Slowly I awaken
To the Weavers plan for me,
To drift upon the waters
Of my own uncertainty,
To look for a companion
Who will share my destiny,
A guiding hand to understand
An' walk to road with me.
An' give me love,
Give me love,
Till the day I die,


I wanna be the master of my destiny,
I never wanna crawl an' beg for no sympathy
When everything I have is yours,
An' all I ask of you
Is give me love.
Give me love,
Till the day I die,


I never wanna be the first
To show I'm down,
But, I'm never gonna wear
the frozen smile of a clown.
When everything I have is yours
And all I ask of you
Is give me love.
Give me love,
Till the day I die,


Give me love, Till the day I die.

I ain't an educated man
As all you Fleet Street preachers know,
It's just the simple things in life
Get my motor running, ready to go.
If I can make you smile
I will raise my glass,
An' if you don't like it
Then, baby, you can kiss my ass!
You can tell me it's wrong,
But, I love wine, women an' song.

Give me a good time woman,
An' a love potion bottle of booze.
'Cos I got a juke box heart
Full of honky tonk rhythm an' blues.
You better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
If get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Ain't nothing you can do.

You can tell it's wrong,
But I love wine, women an' song.
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song.
You get what you can
But, don't take too long.
Wine, women an' song,

Give me a rock an' roll band
With a mean an' dirty blues guitar,
Take me to a dance hall palace
With a twenty four hour bar.
Then you better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
If you get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Ain't nothing you can do.

You can tell me it's wrong,
But I love wine, women an' song.
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song.
You get what you can
But, don't take too long,
Wine, women an' song.

(Solo)

Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song.
You get what you can
But, don't take too long,
Wine, women an' song.

Wine, women an' song...

Hey girl, if you want me,
Come an' get me.
Don't hang around
Or we could spend the night sleeping alone.
If you could change your style, for a while,
An' look in my direction,
Tell me do I look the kind of guy
Who takes advantage of a women like you.
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you.
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you.
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you.
Baby, I would do anything
that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to,
would I lie to you.


Hey girl, if you need
Some love an' affection,
I'll whisper all the sweet, sweet nothings
I know you little girls like to hear.
If you would change your mind
We could find a night of satin sheet action,
I promise I won't do anything
Baby, unless you wanted me to.
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you.
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you.
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you.
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to,
should I lie to you.


I don't wanna sleep alone tonight,
After all you put me through.
I've spent the whole night searching
For a woman just like you.
Look in my eyes ... tell you lies
Then, baby, it's just
because I want you to stay
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you.
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you.
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you.
Baby, I would do anything
that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to,
would I lie to you...

I know you, you know me
I'm the black sheep of the family,
I'm in an' out of trouble
I'm the talk of the town
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down
I steal around, like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day

Bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city
I see you, you see me
Just a black street boy in society
With high-heeled women full of champagne an' lies,
Getting wild in the street
'Til the hot sunrise
Stealing round like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day

Bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city,
Wild in the city,
Wild in the city

Bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city

I know you, you know me
I'm the black sheep of the family,
I'm in an' out of trouble
I'm the talk of the town
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down

I don't care what the people think,
I can't hear what the people say,
I steal around like a thief in the night
Dancing 'til the break of day

Bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Bad, bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city

Undercover of moonlight...

I'm getting ready
I'm in the mood to fool around
It's time for action
Now the boys are back in town

So turn up the music,
Make it loud and proud
Let's see reaction
Let the spotlight hit the crowd

Don't hide what you feel inside,
Don't let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher

Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night

You got the power,
I feel your fire in my soul
You got the fever,
'Cos you were born to rock an' roll
Don't run for cover,
I'm gonna show you what I've learned
Just come a little closer,
Come on an' get your fingers burned

Don't hide what you feel inside,
Don't let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher.

Now are you ready to rock,
Are you ready to roll,
Are you ready to rock...

Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night

I'm getting ready,
I'm in the mood to fool around
It's time for action,
'Cos now the boys are back in town

Don't hide what you feel inside,
Don't let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher.

Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night

Are you ready to rock,
Children of the night
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night

Are you ready to rock,
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night

Just let the music take you higher...

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind,
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain...

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more,
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain

Crying in the rain

You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sanest
As you surrender to your fears

So what's a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone

You say your heart is lost forever
And you're always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again

You turn away from what you feel inside,
You can't forget all your foolish pride

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night is gone

So now I'm asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you wanna drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again

Don't turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone

Don't turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Don't put me away,
Don't walk away from me darling
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An' I'm coming for you, baby

When I first saw you baby
You took my breath away,
I knew your name was Trouble
But, my heart got in the way
I couldn't stop myself from reaching out,
I could not turn away

I don't even know your name
An' I can't leave you alone,
I'm running round in circles
Like a dog without a bone
I know the game you're playing
But, baby I just can't let go

So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want
Just give me all of your loving tonight

I'll work hard everyday
To love and treat you right.
I'll rock you in the morning
And roll you in the night.
Any way you want
I'm gonna prove my love for you.

So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...

So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight

So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight

I am blinded by your smile
And I'm crazy about your walk
I shiver and I shake
When I hear you baby talk
I'm a fool for your loving babe,
Give me all your loving tonight...

So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight

Anything you want from me...

So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight..

I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.

Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Just another heart in need of rescue
waiting on love's sweet charity
an' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again,
here I go again, here I go.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again,
here I go again, here I go,
here I go again.

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone,
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own.
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
And I can't wait to see you again.

I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call,
How can I tell you, baby
My back's against the wall.
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright,
'Cos I don't think I can take anymore.

Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for.
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
'Cos it's really got a hold on me,
A hold on me.

I can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But, with you I've found the key
To open any door.
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day,
An' I can't wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms.

Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for.
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
'Cos it's really got a hold on me,
A hold on me.

Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for.

Is this love or am I dreaming,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for...

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
An' I can't wait to see you again

I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call
How can I tell you, babe
My back's against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright
Cos I don't think I can take anymore

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
Cos it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

I can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But, with you I've found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day
An' I can't wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
Cos it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming

I'm tired of waiting
An' closing my eyes
I'm asking myself
Why is it all my horizons
Are so far away

I look in the mirror
Don't like what I see
In my reflection
A stranger is staring at me
Looking for love

The love of a woman
The needs of a man
I try so hard to belive
But I don't understand
The search goes on

But over the mountains
Across the sea
I know love is waiting
I hear it calling to me
Calling my name

I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart

Alone again, It's always the same
I've just been marking my time
Since the day I was born
With no one to blame

The candle is burning
It's way down low
I just need someone
To show me the way to go
Which way to go.

I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart

I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
Looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love to rely on
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart...

In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store,
My heart start aching
My body start a shaking
And I can't take no more, no, no

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat...

In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
Over here baby...

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come

In the Still of the Night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel heart is aching
In the Still of the Night...

Tell me here baby

In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door...
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more...

Now I just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.

In the Still of the Night...

Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...

I'm coming round to see you,
Kicking down your door
I've got to tell you girl
I really can't take no more
'Cos I've been hearing about you
Everybody says you're front page news
Laying it down, all around the town
Giving all the boys the blues

Stand and deliver in the name of love,
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you want I'm gonna do

I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane

I never loved a woman
The way that I love you
I can't escape the feeling,
You don't know what you're putting me through

So stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand

Straight for the heart

I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane

You got the love I dream of
The kind that cost so much,
Just cover me with kisses, baby
Surrender to my touch

Stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

I'm going straight for the heart
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane

Straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart,
I'm gonna drive you insane

Straight for the heart

Now I know
I've seen that look
On your face before
When you realised
All the memories
Walked right out the door...

Now it's eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
No more hiding behind the truth
I'm gonna get exactly
What's coming to me

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it

Now you say
I took advantage of you
When you never knew the score
But, you should know
We've been this way
One thousand times before

You told me once,
You told me twice
It's down to me, girl
To pay the price
But, this time's the last time
That's for sure...

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it
Yes you are

You talk of how our love
Was meant to be
And all the time
You sacrificed for me...

So how could I forget it,
Why should I regret it
'Cos when you told me you loved me
I knew it was lies
So no more crying, no more goodbyes,
'Cos this time's the last time
That's for sure...break my heart...

Now you say
There is no one in the world
Can get the better of you
An' you should know
'Cos you never made it easy
With the pain you put me thru

I told you once
I told you twice
It's down to you, girl
To pay the price
'Cos this time's the last time
That's for sure...

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it

I just can't take anymore,
No more, no more, no more...

I get so confused,
But, my heart knows you're one of a kind.
Leather an' lace, an angels face,
Riding on a one track mind.
You're fully loaded with cruise control,
My four wheels rock with your back seat roll.

You're cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me.

I get so excited, babe, when I'm invited
To ride in your limousine,
You drive it every day, burn it every night,
I wonder how you keep it so clean.
Smooth accelerator, you get me so loose,
You keep your motor running till I run out of juice.

You're cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me.

(Solo)

Cheap an' nasty...

I never knew it could be this way
An' I never thought I'd ever complain,
But, gimme a second just to catch my breath
Babe, before you do it again.

All the boys call your name
Down the wishing well,
Baby, when you go
You're like a cat out of hell.

You're cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me.

Come on an' do the dirty,
Come on an' do the dirty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me.
Come on an' do the dirty with me.

I was born under a bad sign, left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows just what it means to lose control
But I took all the heartache and turned it to shame
Now I'm movin', movin' on and I ain't taking the blame
(chorus:)
Don't come running to me, I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe: I'll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying
A fool for your loving no more, I'll be a fool for your loving no more

I'm tired of hiding my feelings, you left me lonely too long
I gave my heart and you tore it apart
Oh, baby you done me wrong
(chorus)
Don't come running to me, I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe: I'll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying
A fool for your loving no more, I'll be a fool for your loving no more

The night is gone,
The time has come
To find a new day has begun,
An' it promises to stay.
To soothe the pain of wasted years
An' kiss away the bitter tears
A love to light the way.

And from the darkness
Comes a smile,
That reaches out for many miles,
Touching everyone.
No more shadows of the past,
Your spirit free to fly at last,
Shining in the sun.

Like the rolling thunder,
I feel the power of love,
It's a gift from heaven
And the Lord above.

We walk toward desire,
Hand and hand
Through fields of fire.
With only love to light the way
On the road to Judgement Day.

Take it easy, take it slow,
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go,
Places never seen before.
'Cause I love you, an' I need you,
I'll do my best to please you,
My love can open any door.

When you hear the thunder
In your darkest night,
I'll be there to hold you
When the lightning strikes.

So don't you worry,
You can ease your mind
'Cause we'll be dancing
At the end of time.

Who loves you, who needs you,
Who'll do his best to please you,
I love you, I need you
I'll get down on my knees.

We walk toward desire,
Hand and hand
Through fields of fire.
With only love to light the way
On the road to Judgement Day.

(Solo)

So don't you worry, baby
On the road to Judgement Day.
Who loves you, who needs you
On the road to Judgement Day.

So I love you, and I need you.
My love can open any door.
My love can open any door

Walking down the street
You're the center of my universe
You got the world in your pocket,
My manhood in your purse
You ain't a bad girl, honey,
No matter what the neighbours say,
It's just that you were those skin-tight dresses
With your G-string tuned to "A"

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Heaven sent, you're an angel dressed in black,
Cool, stiletto strut, you're a drop jaw cardiac
You're the genuine, feline, prettiest girl I've ever seen,
With your thief of hearts smile
You're a certified pleasure machine

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur,
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws,
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws,
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws,
She's a heart attack

You treat me good,
Sometimes you treat me bad,
But, keep it up, honey,
You're the best time I've ever had
No matter what you put me through I must confess,
Oh, you got more style than a brand new XJS

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur,
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws,
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws,
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws,
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws,
She's a heart attack...

Walking down the street
You're the center of my universe
You got the world in your pocket,
My manhood in your purse
I know you ain't a bad girl, honey,
No matter what the neighbours say,
It's just that you were those skin-tight dresses
With your G-string tuned to "A"

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur,
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws,
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws,
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws,
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws,
She'll blow your stack

The kittens got claws,
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws,
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws,
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws,
She's a heart attack...

You scratch my back, baby,
An' I'll scratch yours...

Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An' I can't go on
When I think of the love that you've taken.

In the night I pray for your embrace,
Every time I close my eyes
I can't escape your face.
You're out of sight,
But, always on my mind,
I never realised
My love could be so blind.

You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine.
You're all I need,

So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it another try
One more time.

But, now you're gone
There's an emptiness closing around me,
An' I can't go on
When all I have left is the memory.

In the night I call out your name,
I wake up in a cold sweat
An' I'm all alone again.
I need your love
Much more than I can say,
I realise without you
I can't face another day.

You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine.
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind.

You're all that I want,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it
Another try
One more time,
Baby, just one more time.

Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An I can't go on
When all of my love has been taken.

You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine.
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind.

You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine.
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind...

Do you remember
Standing on the shore,
Head in the clouds,
Your pockets filled with dreams
Bound for glory
On the seven seas of life,
But, the ocean is deeper than it seems

The wind was with you
When you left on the morning tide,
You set your sail for an island in the sun,
On the horizon, dark clouds up ahead,
For the storm has just begun

Take me with you,
Take me far away,
Lead me to the distant shore

Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key,
Or sailing ships will pass you by

You cry for mercy,
When you think you've lost your way,
You drift alone, if all your hope is gone
So find the strength and you will see
You control, your destiny,
After all is said and done

So take me with you,
Take me far away,
An' lead me to the distant shore

Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key,
Or sailing ships will pass,
Sailing ships will pass you,
Sailing ships will pass you by...

Take me with you,
Take me far away,
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control, your destiny,
So sailing ships don't pass you by

So take me with you,
Take me far away,
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control, your destiny,
So sailing ships don't pass,
So sailing ships don't pass you,
So sailing ships don't pass you by...

Baby, baby, baby, baby,
You'll find that you're the only one
Can sail your ship across the sky

Sometime after midnight, the heat begins to rise
Girl you'd shame the devil with the look that's in your eyes
I know what's on your mind and I can't run away
If I don't give you what you want there's gonna be some hell to pay
Creeping up behind me, knocking at my door
I'd never be too blind to see just what you're looking for
You roll me over, make me moan
Ooh, such a velvet touch, you'd melt a heart of stone

Anytime, anyplace, I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face
A slave to love and keep you young
All it takes and no mistakes is just a slip of the tongue

And if I want a little love I gotta take a little pain
Make me think a thousand times before I kiss again
I'm waiting on your, every day and every night
If I don't try to satisfy there's gonna be a fist fight

Anytime, anyplace, I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face
A slave to love and keep you young
All it takes and no mistakes is just a slip of the tongue

The sun is slowly rising and I'm sinking to my knees
I'm dying just to close my eyes, I'm begging, darlin' please
I hear you calling and I'm crawling cross the floor
I give you everything I got and still you ask for more

Anytime, anyplace, I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face
A slave to love and keep you young
All it takes and no mistakes is just a slip of the tongue

Y'know the joint was jumping
Like a dancing fool,
I saw you standing in the corner
Looking oh, so cool
I had a word with the DJ
To make the music hot,
I'm gonna get you on the dance floor
If you are ready or not

Slow poke music,
I'll get you down to the bone
Slow poke music,
I'll never leave you alone, I'll never leave you

When you move it to the left,
Or you shake it to the right,
No matter what you do, babe,
It's like dynamite
With your sweet French perfume
An' that criminal walk,
You know you'd melt my ice cream
With your body talk

Slow poke music,
I'll get you down to the bone
Slow poke music,
I'll never leave you alone, I'll never leave you

I'm gonna shake you down,
Girl, I'm won't do you no harm

Well, you move so fine,
Like stepping on glass,
An' when you give me that smile,
I see lightning flash
East an' West, North an' South,
Oh babe, you're so hot
I'm gonna melt in your mouth

Slow poke music,
I'll get you down to the bone
Slow poke music,
Get into it, babe,
Slow poke music,
I'll nail it down to the bone
Slow poke music,
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Girl, I'll never leave you alone...

When I look back
On everything I've done
I know you must have cried
A river of tears,
But, you were there
When I was feeling low
To walk me through my darkest fears

So when the sun goes down
An' those nights grow colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder

An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

There were times
I almost let you go
When I thought I needed to break free,
But you were there
To whisper in my ear
Why don't you share my dreams with me.

So when the sun goes down
An those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.

An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

I don't mind, what you're doing to me,
I don't mind, 'cause you're all I can see
I don't mind, baby, you mean the world to me

When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder, baby, baby, baby.

So When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.

'Cause the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion...

I never gonna let you go,
In my heart, I know.
I love you, I love you.
Oh baby, I really love you...

On an' on, the road goes on,
An' it'll go on forever,
Time will show if you and I
Will walk that road together.

Through fire an' water, ice an' snow,
Heaven above us, an' hell below,
Holding on, trying to walk the line
With sweet temptation running close behind.

I'm talking 'bout love.
Ooh, love.

Like a fire forever burning,
A flaming heart that's yearning, more an' more.
A love to keep us warm
On the wings of the storm.

Everyday an' every night
I keep hoping it'll be all right,
Trying to leave the past behind,
Still looking for some peace of mind.
But, destiny brought us together
An' promised us a time that would last forever.
Tho' it's all been said before
It's the kind of love worth fighting for.

I'm talking about love.
Ooh, love.

*Like a fire forever burning,
A flaming heart that's yearning, more an' more.
A love to keep you warm
On the wings of the storm.

On an' on, the road goes on,
An' it'll go on forever,
Time will show if you and I
Will walk that road together.

I'm talking about love.
Ooh, love.

*Repeat

I would do anything I could to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
To be at your side.
My heart is aching for love,
My body's shaking with desire.
Believe me, baby, when I say
I will drink you dry.
I would do anything to be near you,
You're everything any man could claim.
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name.
But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I'd been looking for love for so long
when I found you,
Too many years I walked alone.
When I touch you inside
I feel you burning me with fire,
Believe me baby when I say
I will feed the flame.

I need a woman to treat me good
And give me everything
a good woman should.
Everyday and every night
She'd be waiting on her brown-eyed boy
To come and treat her right.
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,


I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you.
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you.


In my time I've been a back door man,
I've taken everything I could
But, I've given all I can.
I don't want no woman
To weep or moan,
I'm looking for a sweet heartbreaker
And I'm never gonna leave her alone.

You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see.
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancer.
I've got my love gun loaded,
I've got you in my sight,
I never take no for an answer,
So you'd better say yes tonight.
I told you the score
Right from the start,
You'll never get to heaven
If you break my heart.
So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cos it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me.
You say you want my money,
I say you've got no sense,
If you just want to bleed me dry
Stay on your side of the fence.
No mercy you can see
'Cos seven to eleven made a fool out of me.
So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cos it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me.

When I left my home
I was not much more than a child,
My mother started crying
She knew that I was born to be wild.
'Cos I was looking for the
bright lights of the big city,
A red hot town where the girls are pretty.
I took to the highway,
Chasing my dream down the line.
Heading out for trouble,
Never finding my peace of mind.
'Cos I been run out of town
so many times before
An' usually kind of places
where I can't go back no more.
Outlaw born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always
take chances for fun.
I never find it easy trying to
keep the feeling alive,
I've always been a dreamer,
Dreamers find it hard to survive.
When they're living in the bright
lights of the big city,
A red hot town where the girls are pretty.
Outlaw born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always
take chances for fun.
Outlaw born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,

I'm goin' looking for a woman
With the night in her eyes,
Someone to take all the small talk
And laugh at the lies.
A high heeled double
trouble backstage queen,
Who gets what she wants
And knows where she's been.
Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of
a one night stand.
So I'm going looking for
those rock 'n' roll women tonight.
You can see in my face
Just what I'm hoping to find,
I want a twelve bar beauty
With a one track mind.
I don't drive babe, but, I can steer,
We got the green light let's get out of here.
Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the
promise of a one night stand.
So I'm going looking for those
rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said I'm going looking for those
rock 'n' roll women tonight.


When I saw you across the floor,
I could feel I wanted more.
I get lonely in the night,
I would do anything, anything you say,
Do anything to take the pain away.
So those lonely nights will be alright,
Don't worry honey, we can put out the light.
I'm going looking for those
rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said I'm going looking for those
rock 'n' roll women tonight.
So I'm looking for a woman
who got no shame,
'Cos in the morning
there'll be no one to blame.
A high heeled double

I'm sad to say it's time to go
But, until we meet again along the road.
Remember this on your journey home,
When you hear the thunder
roar you're not alone.
We wish you well, we wish you well,
In times of trouble may your hearts be strong
We wish you well, we wish you well,
Until we meet again,
We wish you well.

Well it's five in the morning
When will you be home,
I'm tired of waiting here baby
All on my own.
All I got for comfort is some cheap red wine
But, the thought of what you're doing
gives me no peace of mind.
You 'n' me, it's got to be just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
Can't you see what you're doing to me.


I know those page three girls
In the playboy books,
Ain't got nothing on you
In the way that you look
But, an eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
When you get home
You better give me some truth.
Tell me no lies
When I ask you the questions,
Tell the truth
Your lies ain't gonna make it no more.
Tell me no lies,
Baby you're no exception to the rule,
Because I've heard it all before
And babe believe me I never forget.
You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
If you don't stop what you're doing to me
I'm gonna do it to you.

If you don't stop what you're doing to me,
I'm gonna do it to you.

Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn,
Knowing I must face another day.
Sleepless night behind me,
Just a memory of pain,
My heart has always
been a cross to bear.
Lord I know the sun shine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away.
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today.
All around me, shadows fall,
Tho' day has just begun,
I realise I'm on my own again.
Memories of broken dreams,
As distant as the sun,
Are drifting like an echo
in the wind.
Lord, I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today.
Babe, I thought about it,
But, it just ain't done
good,
You hold my heart and
soul within your hand.
All the time, you're in my
mind,
I never thought you
could be so blind,
Maybe someday I will
understand.
Lord, I know the sun
shine,
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today, no more.
Hey, mama you drive me
crazy,
Knowing you're my
hearts desire,
Why'd you go and hang
me up this way.
You've given me love,
given me love,
Now tell me what you
were thinking of,
Why'd you go and steal
my soul away.
Lord I know the
sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of
rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today.
I ain't gonna cry no
more.
(Solo)
Lord I know the
sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of
rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today.
Ain't gonna cry no
more1.
Hey, I ain't gonna cry no
more today...

there ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
ain't no love 'cos you ain't around
'cos you ain't around.

I don't go looking for trouble,
It's always coming my way,
But, I've been looking for you,
And like the summer sun, you welcome my day.
So come on, come on,
And give your man some rock 'n' roll,
And get yourself some sweet rock 'n' roll.
I'm just a soldier of fortune,
Must be the gypsy in me.
I ain't along when I say
I never needed love so badly before.
Hear me singing "Come on, come on"!
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
And get yourself some sweet rock 'n' roll.
(Solo)
I keep singing, "Come on, come on"!
"Come on, come on"!
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
Come on and get some sweet rock,
Come on and get some sweet rock,
Come on and get some sweet rock 'n' roll.
Must be the gypsy in me,
Can see the angel in you.

I was born under a bad sign, left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows just what it means to lose control
But I took all the heartache and turned it to shame
Now I'm movin', movin' on and I ain't taking the blame
(
:)
Don't come running to me,

You got the smile of a Monalisa,
Know it all an' giving nothing away.
You make the sins of a vestal virgin,
Look nothing more that a roll in the hay.

So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.

You give an air of the Dolce Vita,
Society's made a queen out of you.
Casanova couldn't take all your virtue,
But, rock 'n' roll is gonna steal it from you.

So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.

Come on, girl, it'll be alright,
Easy does it nice and slow.
Woah, you know, mama, that tonight's the night,
Come on and let your feelings show.

Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see.
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me.

So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.

Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see.
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me.

Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.

I need a woman to treat
me good
And give me everything a
good woman should.
Everyday and every night
She'd be waiting on her
brown-eyed boy
To come and treat her
right.
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you.
I'm gonna give you all my
loving
And use my tail on you.
In my time I've been a
back door man,
I've taken everything I
could
But, I've given all I can.
I don't want no woman
To weep or moan,
I'm looking for a sweet
heartbreaker
And I'm never gonna
leave her alone.
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my
loving
And use my tail on you.

I'm a love hunter baby

'Cos I'm a love hunter
baby, a love hunter
baby,
A love hunter baby, I'm
a love hunter baby.

I'm a love hunter baby,
I'm a love hunter baby,

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you.
I'm sneaking up on you

I got more than I asked for,
There ain't nothin' I need.
I took all till I had more,
I'm always takin' the lead.
Old man shakin' dice down on the street,
Tryin' to make a livin' somehow.
But, I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
And I'm gettin' ready right now.
You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.
I've been called by many names
And all of them are bad.
I can take it all the same,
It's all I've ever had.
I've got something that you can't get
But, one thing you can see.
Gettin' there ain't easy
But, it sure was hard for me.
You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.
Every time I take a look
There's someone close behind.
They never used to make a pass,
The things that crossed their minds.
Now they tell me that it's all right
And they want to be my friend.
They're ridin' on my back.
So when is it goin' to end.
You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.
(Solo)
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need.
Might just take your life...

I've been mistreated,
I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby,
I've been confused.
'Cause I know,
Yes, I know,
I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me
I've been losing my mind.
I've been lonely,
Baby, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman
To have and hold.
'Cause I know, oh baby you know
I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me
I've been losing, losing,
Baby, I've been losing my mind, losing my mind.
(Solo)
I've been mistreated,
I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, a woman, a woman,
Baby, I've been confused.
'Cause I know, yes, oh baby I know
I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me
I've been losing, losing,
Babe, I've been losing my mind, losing.
I've been losing my mind...
Baby, oh yeah, I've been losing my mind.

I wanna be loved,
Don't wanna be teased.
I don't want no woman
Getting down on her knees.

I'm ready an' willing
To reach for the sun,
So I can get me some loving
Before I'm gone.

I want more, more, more, more,
I want some more
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.

I want you to rock me
All night long.
Rope an' ride me, baby,
Do me wrong.

Roll me over, make be bleed,
I'd dance with the devil
To get what I need.
I need more, more, more, more,
I need some more of that
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.

I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'm talking about sweet satisfaction,
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
Sweet satisfaction, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing.

I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I keep on looking for

Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking...

I can tell by the way you walk,
You give it all away
By the sweet way that you talk....yes you do....
You got long legs,a black girl sway,
The way you shake your booty
Gives your schoolgirl game away....yes it does....
You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun....
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run....
I know you know
You got what it takes,
You got the fever,
But, you give me the shakes....yes you do....
Straight out of Lolita
With nothing to lose,
When I got your number
My juke box blew a fuse....yes it did....
You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun....
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run....you better run....
Or you better hide....
Sweet talker, bad daughter,
You've just begun....
The bitch is in heat
So you better run....

Every time I see my
baby home,
I wanna kiss a little
better so I get stoned.
Gonna spread her pretty
legs so I can see,
Sweet lip honey be the
death of me
And I will discover
you'll be my midnight
lover,
Oh babe, bring it on
home to me.
Sometimes when I'm
feeling low,
I go looking for a lover
where the bad girls go.
Sorry little girl, If you
can't stay,
Your red light mama
gonna show the way.
And then a certain
madness,
Will 'crease my heart
with sadness
Oh babe, bring it on
home to me.
Take me with you I will
give you anything a
woman needs,
Take me with you I will
give you anything a
woman needs.
I know love and what it
means,
It's a skinny little girl in
tight ass jeans.
I love to hear'em moan
and cry,
'Cos God made men to
satisfy.
And with the fire
returning,
I feel the fever burning
Oh babe, bring it on
home to me.
Take me with you I will
give you anything a
woman needs,
Take me with you I will
give you anything a
woman needs.
Oh, take me with you.

I was raised a gambler's son
And before I could walk,
I had to learn how to run.
And I never, never ever
Played a loaded dice.
But, I rolled a lot of women
With a heart as cold as ice.
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Always coming my way,
Trouble always coming my way.
Baby I'm lonely, I'm out of control,
I need someone to understand
The badness in my soul.
Though I never, I never
Stole another man's wife
But, I fooled around plenty enough
And I got what I paid for.
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.
Trouble.
(Solo)
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.
Trouble always coming my way, trouble always coming...

I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand.
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man.
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues.
All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along.
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong.
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues.
My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do.
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you.
I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues.
(Solo)
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again.
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain.
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues.
