1. ANYTHING YOU WANT, YOU GOT IT

Well I'm ready to rock, and my temperature's hot, baby
I said I'm ready to go, ain't never gonna stop
But can you feel the beat girl, can never get enough of that
Ooh, anything you want, you got it, you know that I...
I ain't gonna mess around, and I'll never put you down
So if you want it, yeah, anything you want, you got it, look out

The place is gonna shake now, girl can you feel the thunder
I'm shootin' from the hip girl, you better run for cover
But if you wanna take a chance, just tell me and I'll know what to do
Ooh, anthing you want, you got it
I ain't gonna mess around, and I ain't gonna put you down, no
If you want it, yeah, anything you want, you got it
That's right, I say you want it, yeah, anything you want, you got it

Do you want it, yeah
Baby do you want it, yeah
Do you want it, yeah, you got it

Now given half a chance girl, we'll take it all the way
We're reaching for the top, and force a power play
We're gonna rock tonight, can never get enough of that
I said ooh, anything you want, you got it, you know that I...
I ain't gonna mess around, and I ain't gonna put you down
So if you want it, yeah, anything you want, you got it
Girl if want it, yeah, anything you want, you got it
So do you want it, yeah
Well baby, do you want it, yeah
Oh girl, do you want it, yeah, alright


2. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Always so keen, in a big black fleur de lys
Had too much competition, in a limousine
Everybody got to him, and he finally had to make a show
And no one could believe him, and he still doesn't know

Girl you fill me up, until I've had enough
Girl you fill me up, can't you see that
You're my girl, and enough is enough
Baby, you're my girl, and enough is enough

So we went down through the streets, and we never even saw a fight
We had one look corner to corner, and we called it a night
So I said we best get ready, cause we really didn't wanna phone
He said, I must be some kind of a fool girl, are you puttin' me on

You fill me up, until I get enough
Oh girl you fill me up, can't you see that
You're my girl, and enough is enough
Baby, you're my girl, and enough is enough

You're my girl, and enough is enough
Baby, you're my girl, and enough is enough

So we went on through the gate, and it sure enough caused a scene
He said, one chance to make it on the silver screen
So we worked all day and night, tryin' to make it to the 4 state line
He said, baby you can stay tomorrow, we can have us a time

Oh girl you fill me up, until I've had enough
Oh girl you fill me up, can't you see that
You're my girl, and enough is enough
Baby, you're my girl, and enough is enough
You're my girl, enough is enough
Baby, you're my girl, and enough is enough


3. IF YOU SEE KAY

Well the first thing I remember, was the way she smiled
And the way she looked at me, drivin' me wild
She was dressed to kill in her five inch heels, her painted
on satin pants
She had the look of need, like, give it to me, I decided I
should take a chance

If you see Kay, tell her I want her
If you see Kay, tell her I need her
If you see Kay, tell her I want her now

Her legs were long shapely, I could see her love was hot
And when it came together, she'd give you all she's got
She had the walk of a woman on fire, her eyes undressed
my mind and soul
I woulda gladly bet my last ten buck, in love she'd lose
control

If you see Kay, tell her I want her
If you see Kay, tell her I need her
If you see Kay, tell her I want her now

I had her in my dreams, three times every night
Her love was so complete, her love was warm and right
When I wake up in the morning, with this achin' in my
heart
You can bet the need I'm feelin', is only just a start
I felt the pressure risin', when I looked where she had been

By the time I gave up hope, she'd probably fall in love
again

If you see Kay, tell her I want her
If you see Kay, tell her I need her
If you see Kay, tell her I want her now
If you see Kay (if you see Kay), tell her I need her
If you see Kay, tell her I need her
If you see Kay, tell her I want her now
If you see Kay, tell her I want her
If you see Kay, tell her I need her
If you see Kay, tell her I want her now


4. WHAT IF WE FALL IN LOVE

All in love is fair
Young and free, so easy to care, without pain
We can laugh and we can cry
We can have it all without askin' why, without chains
But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, girl
But that could be more

What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love, ooh

When I'm feelin' all alone
Those times when love turns out all wrong, you'll be there
And when you needed me you knew, we were friends
And friends will always come through, cause they care
And in our hearts, and in our own ways
We are the same, we both were afraid

What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love

But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, yeah
That could be more
What if we fall in love (tonight)

Love is easier for some
In and out, they love on the run, without care
Should they break a heart or two
It's just a game, so easy to do, so unfair
But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, girl
But that could be more

What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love


5. WAITING ON A MIRACLE

A prima donna or a debutante, you say
A first offender, you had your chance, and you threw it away
So why don't you just get on your pony
And ride out somewhere where you can be lonely
All by yourself, instead of tellin' me

Here we are, and we never get very far
Things are never as you say they are
And you'd rather be somewhere else in time
Anywhere, well you don't mind

The legal tender was the motive for your shame
You knew the truth, but never took the blame, you knew it was wrong
But never one to open your heart
You held it inside till it tore you apart
And you couldn't go on, and now you're tellin' me

Here we are, and we never get very far
Things are never as you say they are
And you'd rather be somewhere else in time
Anywhere, well you don't mind
Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle
Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time

Under pressure till it got the best of you
False images, silhouettes, the old and the new
Nothing ventured, there's nothing gained
You take your chance, it may never come again
Then throw it away, and don't go tellin' me

Here we are, and we never get very far
Things are never as you say they are
And I'd rather be somewhere else in time
Anywhere, well I don't mind
Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle
Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time

It's alright, right right, we're gonna shine all night long
It's alright, we're right right, we're gonna shine all night long
It's alright, we're right right, we're gonna shine all night long


6. DOIN’ IT RIGHT

Doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right
The rock band's cookin' and the drummer's gettin' down
We're doin' it right on the wrong side of town

I know a place on the wrong side of town
The rock band's cookin' and they're gettin' on down
The slot man's playin' like his soul's on fire
Movin' like a rumour on a telephone wire
Go rev up your Chevy, put your gas foot down
We're doin' it right on the wrong side of town

Doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right
The rock band's cookin' and the drummer's gettin' down
We're doin' it right on the wrong side of town

There ain't no future gettin' magazine girls
Taken to the club with their hard lovin' thrills
No time for tears, trouble and sorrow
Rock and roll like there's no tomorrow
Turn off the tube and put your magazine down
We're doin' it right on the wrong side of the town

Doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right
The rock band's cookin' and the drummer's gettin' down
We're doin' it right on the wrong side of town

Doin' it right on the wrong side of town

I know a place on the wrong side of town
The rock band's cookin' and they're gettin' on down
The slot man's playin' like his soul's on fire
Movin' like a rumour on a telephone wire
Go rev up your Chevy, put your gas foot down
We're doin' it right on the wrong side of town

Doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right
The rock band's cookin' and they're gettin' on down
We're doin' it right on the wrong side of town
Doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right
The rock band's cookin' and they're gettin' on down
Doin' it right on the wrong side of town
Doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right, doin' it right
The rock band's cookin' and the drummer's gettin' down
We're doin' it right on the wrong side of town


7. AIN’T GOT YOUR LOVE

You take it on the lamb, and pretend that it's alright
Hey baby, can't you see what you're doin' to yourself
And don't treat it as a game, cause I could never play along
You know that I care girl, don't get me wrong

And give it everything you got, even be cruel
And give it everything you got, cause I won't play a fool
If I don't have your love (ain't got your love)
If I don't have your love, babe it's gonna drive me crazy
If I don't have your love (ain't got your love)
If I don't have your love, right now

When fate is on the line, and it's time to take a stand
Just tell me how you feel girl, I'll understand
And don't go foolin' yourself, cause you know you gotta get it on
Hey baby, can't you see the right from the wrong

And give it everything you got, even be cruel
And give it everything you got, cause I won't play a fool
If I don't have your love (ain't got your love)
If I don't have your love, baby it's gonna drive me crazy
If I don't have your love, ooh (ain't got your love)
If I don't have your love, right now, I need you girl

When you're takin' to the streets, cause shelter can't be found
I'm makin' it clear girl, I'll be around
And I can see it on your face, I know it's on your mind
But do you realize our love's on the line

And give it everything you got, even be cruel
And give it everything you got, cause I won't play a fool
If I don't have your love (ain't got your love)
If I don't have your love, right now
Baby it's gonna drive me crazy, cause I need your lovin' so bad (ain't got your love)
Yeah I can't go on if I don't belong, if I (ain't got your love)
Hey baby, yeah, you know how I feel that I got to have it everyday baby, yeah
As long as it's love, I need it so bad (ain't got your love)
I love you baby, I got to have it (ain't got your love) no more yeah


8. BLOOD MONEY

No one can say, that crime doesn't pay, that never is true
It's supply and demand, with blood on your hands, nighmares come true
It's in all the headlines, you're the worst of a kind, a sinister breed
Such a contemptable way, to have your own say, you're poisoned with greed

I said oh no (no no no no), you're completely insane
I said oh no (no no no no no), you'd take a life for material gain
Blood money, you got blood on your hands
Blood money, but still you make your demands
Blood money, you can't get any colder
Blood money, but still you're thinkin' it over

You don't have to be smart, it don't take any heart, least of all, shame
Some turret stunt, open in the front, your motive is plain
And for those that contend, with the choice to condemn, I know that you care
For those left alone, when it's time to go home, and nobody's there

I said oh no (no no no no), you're completely insane
I said oh no (no no no no no), you'd take a life for material gain
Blood money, you got blood on your hands
Blood money, but still you make your demands
Blood money, you can't get any colder
Blood money, but still you're thinkin' it over

When you're out on the street, and you got nothin' to eat, it's easy to see
That you do what you can, still I don't understand, how wrong you can be
Though it's all very clear, that you bargain with fear, there's no justice at all
It's easy for some, they say the bigger they come, the harder they fall

I said oh no (no no no no), you're completely insane
I said oh no (no no no no), you'd take a life for material gain
Blood money, you got blood on your hands
Blood money, but still you make your demands
Blood money, you can't get any colder
Blood money, but still you're thinkin' it over


9. TELL ME WHY

Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sittin' here all alone
Did you have to treat me so bad
All I do girl, is hang my head and moan

Tell me why you cry, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried baby
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me

If it's somethin' that I might have said
Just tell me girl, and I'll apologize
If you don't I really can't go on
Holdin' back the tears, holdin' back the tears from my eyes

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, baby
Just tell me why'd you cry, and why'd you lie to me

Well I beg you on my bended knees
Baby please please, listen to what I say
If there's anything that I could do
Just tell me girl, cause I'm so in love with you

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, baby
Just tell me why'd you cry, and why'd you lie to me


10. RUNNERS IN THE NIGHT

We're runners in the night, you and me
We're tryin' to find the truth baby, tryin' to get free
We're playin' with fire, but it ain't no use
Gotta have a wink baby, bustin' loose

I say we're runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight, yeah

I can take the heat baby, and I get burned
Shadows all around, uptown, you live and learn
The magic of the stars, and the neon moons
Exploding into pieces baby, yeah, much too soon
You gotta hang tough, and take it head on
You're playin' for keeps now, in the midnight sun

I say we're runners in the night, me and you
Tryin' to find the truth, but never do
Runnin' in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight

It's like the night of the living dead, everybody's on borrowed time
Ain't you gonna go crazy baby, sure enough
If you keep walkin' that line, all the time
But you know you we a choice girl, you just gotta be tough
Just between you and me, I say enough's enough

Runners in the night, you and me
Runners in the night, we'll always be
Runners in the night, we ain't no good till after midnight, yeah
