1. I WANT YOU TO WANT ME

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me

I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like Dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me

I'll shine up the old brown shoes
Put on a brand-new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like Dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like Dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me


2. DON'T BE CRUEL

Well you know I can be found
Sitting all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said
Please forget the past
The future's bright ahead
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby, it's just you I'm thinkin' of

Don't stop thinkin' of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over and love me
You know I want you to stay
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

Let's walk down to the preacher
Let's say "hey, I do"
And then I know you'll want me
And you'll know I want you too

But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby, it's just you I'm thinkin' of

Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't need no other love
Baby, it's just you I'm thinkin' of

Don't stop thinkin' of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over and love me
You know I want you to stay
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

Why should we be apart?
Baby, you know I love you, cross my heart

Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't want no other love
Baby, it's just you I'm thinkin' of


3. THE FLAME

Another night slowly closes in
And I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin
I pretend you still hold me
I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall
I feel so frightened
I wanna run to you, I wanna call
But I've been hit by lightning
Just can't stand up for fallin' apart
Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you
You'll always be the one
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon.
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
You'll always be the one
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon.
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Wherever you go, I'll be with you
And whatever you want, I'll give it to you


4. AIN'T THAT A SHAME

You made me cry when you said good-bye.
Ain't that a shame...my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame...you're the one to blame.
You broke my heart, now we're apart.
Ain't that a shame...my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame...you're the one to blame.

Ah, yes you are,
Farewell, good-bye, although I'll cry.
Ain't that a shame...my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame...you're the one to blame.

Ah!
You made me cry when you said good-bye.
Ain't that a shame...my tears fall like rain
Ain't that a shame...you're the one to blame.


5. COVER GIRL

Well the first time that I saw her it was 1979
Couldn't see her walk couldn't hear her talk
Still wish she were mine

I saw that face and saw that smile
And in a little while
I fell into a dream come true

She's a cover girl
She lives in her own little world
I wish she was my girl
And her name was she's a cover girl
She's always in my dreams
She's never what she seems
In a fantasy world

The next time that I saw her it was on page 69
Biting her lips shaking her hips
You know she looked so fine

So I bought those books to get those looks
I could see her anytime
She's just like a dream come true


6. DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY

Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
So you want to believe
Everything that you read
And you think that you're makin' the grade
(And) just when you're getting it made
You're still in love with her
She'd love you to kiss her
Hopin' you'll miss her
By takin' your mind off the load
Just when you're ready to go
You turn your back on her
You just got your mind on the things ahead
At last you're gonna be free
You'll only miss her
Just after you kiss her
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
So you turn on the smiles
'Cause you think of the time
And nobody knows who you are
You don't think you'll get very far
I don't even know your name
At last they accept you
In case you go next year
And ask you to reach for the sky
And just when you're ready to die
They turn their back on you
So they put you on ice
In Survival Hotel
And wish you would die from the cold
When all you want is a night alone
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing, and the song you sing
Dancing, every move you make
Dancing, makes my body go
Dancing, right across the floor
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing


7. DON'T MAKE OUR LOVE A CRIME

Give me passion, I'll make it good
I'm not crazy, just misunderstood
And I wanna be caught with you
Oh yeah
I've been framed all my life
Didn't do it, I'm no enemy
Now I wanna be blamed with you
Oh no

Don't you make our love a crime
Please don't make our love a crime
If you do we'll all regret it in time
So don't you make our love a crime

You murdered just a part of me
I'm still alive and breathin' free
I wanna be punished with you
I know what you're goin' through
You gave me a fatal bite
I wanna spend my time with you, you, you

Don't you make our love a crime
Please don't make our love a crime
If you do we'll all regret it in time
So don't you make our love a crime

I know what you're goin' through
It's happened to me once before
And I know what you're gonna do
I wanna spend some time with you
It's stronger than it was before
And I've saved it up for you, you, you

Don't you make our love a crime
So please don't make our love a crime
If you do we'll all regret it in time
So don't you make our love a crime
A crime, no


8. COME ON, COME ON

Ooo I'm feelin' good
Oh so good
Don't you ruin it tonight, tonight
It's been so long since I don't know when
Ooo treat me, treat me, treat me right
Don't be like sheep and follow the flock
Show me you really want to be mine

Ooo I'm feelin' good
Oh so good
Don't you ruin it tonight, tonight
It's been so long since I don't know when
Ooo treat me, treat me, treat me right
Don't be like sheep and follow the flock
Show me you really want to be mine

Come on, come on
I know you can do it
Come on, come on
There ain't nothing to it
Come on, come on
I know you believe me
Come on, come on
You can see the real me
Every day, every day
I need you, I want you
Come a little closer to my face
Oh little girl
I need you now


9. HEAVEN TONIGHT

Down the line-don't go over
There's a limit-you went over
So much time-time runs out
Time ran out- make it down
Would you like to go to heaven tonight?
Would you like to go to heaven tonight?
Oh oh oh oh
Downed the line-couldn't get much
Couldn't get much- higher if you tried
And tried and tried- you're as guilty
It's the crime- oh, oo, it's a crime
You can never come down, you can never come down
You can never come down, you can never come down
Down inside-you're getting nervous
You've never been this high before- oh no


10. DREAM POLICE

The dream police, they live inside of my head
The dream police, they come to me in my bed
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh, no

You know that talk is cheap
And those rumors ain't nice
And when I fall asleep
I don't think I'll survive the night, the night

'Cause they're waiting for me
They're looking for me
Every single night
They're driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

The dream police, they live inside of my head (live inside Of my head)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed (come to me in My bed)
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh, no

Well, I can't tell lies
'Cause they're listening to me
And when I fall asleep
Bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight

'Cause they're waiting for me
They're looking for me
Every single night
They're driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't let me alone
They don't get paid to take vacations or let me alone
They spy on me, I try to hide, they won't let me alone
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one

'Cause they're waiting for me
They're looking for me
Every single night
They're driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

The dream police, they live inside of my head (live inside Of my head)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed (come to me in My bed)
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me
The dream police (police, police)
The dream police (police, police)
The dream police (police, police)
The dream police (police, police)
The dream police (police, police)
The dream police (police, police)


11. NEED YOUR LOVE

Need your love, need your love,
Need your love, need your love
Fell apart, broke my heart,
Need your love, need your love
If I could go around the world
I couldn't find another girl, need your love
Need your love, need your love,
Need your love, need your love

You make me lonely
Why should you care
I give you everything
That's hardly fair
I give you lovin'
It's what you need
I give you everything
Everything in me
It might surprise you
But that's not the reason

Need your love, need your love, need your love, need your Love
Fell apart, broke my heart, need your love, need your love
If I could go around the world
I couldn't find another girl, need your love
Need your love, need your love, need your love, need your Love

You make me lonely
Why should you care
I give you everything
That's hardly fair
I give you lovin'
It's what you need
I give you everything
Everything in me
It might surprise you
But that's not the reason

Need your love........


12. HOT LOVE

Hot love if you want it
Got the time if you need it
Be around when you call me
I'll be around, be around for the ball

Hot love is for sale
And the time is just right
Hot love keeps you healthy,
Ooh, hot love, hot love, it's nice.

And when I see a little temp'rature rise
You know I wasn't surprised
See you were smiling, oh
Hot love will burn
Hot love will burn your heart

Hot love if you want it
Got the time if you need it
Be around when you call me.
I'll be around, be around for the ball

And when I see a little temp'rature rise
You know I wasn't surprised
See, that you were smiling
Hot love will burn
Hot love will burn you

I'm selling this, hot love for you
And for you i'll give it away
I know you'll need it every day
Today and tonight
I'm selling this hot love for you
And for you I'll give it away
Hey, why won't you let me inside of you tonight?

Hot love will burn
Hot love will burn your heart
Hot love will burn
Hot love will burn your heart


13. SURRENDER

Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some indonesian junk
That's going round

Your mommy's all right
Your daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey

Father says, "your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married, mommy served
In the wacs in the philippines"
Now, I had heard the wacs recruited
Old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years

Your mommy's all right
Your daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Here'd they disappear?
But when I woke up, mom and dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my kiss records out

Your mommy's all right
Your daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey

Away
Away

Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away


14. TONIGHT IT'S YOU

Time's not sleeping and time won't lose
You can't win 'cause time can't lose
So stop (so stop) what you're doin'
Start on something new
Don't (no don't) don't be hypnotized
Don't start thinkin' with your eyes

(I don't know) why you mean that much to me
(You don't know) what it feels like lovin' you
(We all know) a change is good for you
(That's all right) gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway

All I want is a place in your heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you

Time's not sleeping and time won't lose
You can't win 'cause time can't lose
So stop (so stop) what you're doin'
Start on something new
Don't (no don't) don't be hypnotized
Don't start thinkin' with your eyes

(I don't know) why you mean that much to me
(You don't know) what it feels like lovin' you
(We all know) a change is good for you
(That's all right) gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway

All I want is a place in your heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you

Come to my world
Come away with me
Smile with your eyes
So I can see

(I don't know) why you mean that much to me
(You don't know) what it feels like lovin' you
(We all know) a change is good for you
(That's all right) gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway

All I want is a place in your heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you
Tonight it's you

All I want is a place in your heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you
Tonight it's you, tonight's it's you


15. SHE'S TIGHT

When I'm down I make a call.
Got the number written on the wall.
First it's busy then I try again.
Oh, who's she talking to, could it be him?

I got the number and it starts to ring.
I get excited and I start to dream.
I start to fantasize of memory lane.
Then she answers and she says right way.
She says I'm home on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.

(She's tight.) she's ahead of her time.
(She's tight.) she's one of a kind.
(She's tight.) she's a talented girl.
(She's tight.) she's got her head down tight.

I have something got to say to you.
Amnesia and my train of thought.
On the tip, tip of my tongue.
I had a vision when I was young.

You floated in, we floated up.
Through the window and down the hall.
I had a smoke and went upstairs.
Turned the door and opened the key. She spoke...
I'm on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.

(She's tight.) she's ahead of her time.
(She's tight.) she's one of a kind.
(She's tight.) she's a talented girl.
(She's tight.) she's got her head down tight.

(She's tight.) she's giving me the go.
(She's tight.) she's giving me the high sign.
(She's tight.) we'll turn off the lights.
(She's tight.) pull down the shades.
(She's nice, she's tight.) turn on the cam'ra.
(She's nice, she's tight.) and getting ready for action.

Turn off the radio.
Turn on the video.


16. IF YOU WANT MY LOVE

If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away, ooh

If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away, ooh

Yes, I thought you were a mystery girl
A special girl in this crazy old world
You couldn't see me when I laid eyes on you

Lonely is only a place
You don't know what it's like
You can't fight it
And it's a hole in my heart, in my heart

If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away, ooh

You hold the secrets of love in this world
I'm hypnotized by your every word
A special face, a special voice, a special smile in my life

'Cause lonely is only a place
You don't know what it's like
You can't fight it
And it's a hole in my heart, in my heart

If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away, ooh

If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away, ooh

If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
You won't hide it
You won't throw your love away, ooh
