Lyrics


1. GIMME LOVE

Needin' you, wonderin' what to do
Baby, I've been away
And even so, maybe I should go
Is there nothin' that you wanna say
Just keep it nice, baby what's your price
Cause it looks as though I have to pay
For something clean, only some machine
But she never lets it in her way, no

Gimme love, I need lovin'
Gimme love, gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love, oh yeah
Gimme love

I'm feelin' used, and baby I'm amused
Cause there's something that I shoulda done
Like take my time, or used another line
But I had to get on the run
Can't you see, I don't wanna disagree
There's a chance that we could lose the feel
Let's keep it light, to get us through the night
Do you say you wanna make a deal

Gimme love, gimme lovin'
I need love, yes I do
Gimme love, gimme love, oh yeah
Gimme love

Gimme love, gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love
I need love, gimme love

Gimme love, gimme love, some good lovin'
Gimme love, gimme love, I need love (oh yeah)
Gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love, oh yeah
Gimme love, gimme love, I need love
Gimme love, gimme love, oh yeah
Gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love


2. SO BAD

Some people call me a cowboy
But I don't know, I don't ride no more
I gave it up for the city
Those painted women that I adore

I was raised in the badlands
Where men are mean and the children are sore
But they got nothing on you, girl
You're so bad, you're the devil's door

Cause you're so bad (so bad)
Woman you make a fool out of me, yes you do
And you're so sad, woman you got control of me (so bad)
Yes you do, and I know you know I do

Some people call me a cowboy
But there's no question, I've changed my ways
Hand in hand with the devil
Gonna find me an early grave

Cause you're so bad (so bad)
Woman you make a fool of me, now yes you do, yes you do
And you're so sad (so sad), you got control of me, oh yeah
Yes, you're so bad (so bad), woman you go control of me, yeah
And you so bad, woman you make a fool of me (so sad)


3. WINGS OF LOVE

I don't want to go downtown
I don't wanna move, don't wanna stay this way
Missin' you the way I do (missin' you the way I do)
Wishin' you were here, wish I could be with you
Maybe I should call you, I don't know
There's something you should, and it doesn't show

I don't wanna start again (I don't wanna start again)
But I can't forget the way things might have been, mmm
I'd like to see you once more if I could
But chances are my chances aren't too good

The wings of love have carried her away
The door of fate is closed, the angels sang

Maybe I should go outside (maybe I should go outside)
I hear the weather's warm, no need to stay inside
And maybe I'll forget this morning's news
It means as much to me as it does to you

The wings of love have carried you away
The door of fate is closed, the angels sang

I know things won't change, you've said goodbye
But I can lose this feelin' if I try

The wings of love have carried you away
The door of fate is closed, the angels sang


4. WE CAN BE MORE THAN WE ARE

You can be somebody
You can be more than you are
You can be someone
You can be more than you are


5. ROCK N’ ROLL WOMAN

Get ready baby, when things start to move
Stand out the way, yeah, when she starts to groan
She's livin' her live just as much as she can
Just her and the music of a rock and roll band
It's music that takes her away nearly every day

No folkie, no, is gonna make her feel good
That blue grass music just don't do what it should
That classical gas stuff, well it don't mean a thing
Cause she's only happy in a rock and roll scene

It's the music that takes her away
And the feelin' that gets her near most every day
She's a rock and roll kinda woman
She's definitely one of a kind, she is
With her neon suspenders, yeah
Sure 'nuff blows my mind

Rock steady baby, just a keep a movin' on
You gotta dance to the music till the music's all gone
And it's special, that feelin', that comes over you
And you're stompin' your feet and there ain't nothin' you can do

It's the music that takes her away
She can't stand still when the boys start to play
Cause she's a rock and roll kinda woman
Strictly one of a kind, she is
With her neon suspenders, yeah
Sure 'nuff blows my mind

It's the music that takes her away
She can't stand still when the boys start to play
Cause she's a rock and roll kinda woman, yeah
Strictly one of a kind, she is
With her neon suspenders, yeah
Sure 'nuff blows my mind
She's a rock and roll kinda woman, yeah
Strictly one of a kind, she is
With her neon suspenders, yeah
Sure 'nuff blows my mind
Alright, come on, do it baby
It feels good, don't care what nobody says


6. SHOTDOWN

Owwwww!

Maybe it's the moonlight, somethin' doesn't feel right
Won't you come along with me, oh yeah
You know I'm not crazy, just a little lazy
Won't you take a chance, won't you come along with me
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Maybe it's the moonlight, maybe it's the rock 'n' roll, oh yeah
Maybe it's the moonlight, maybe it's the rock 'n' roll, yeah
But I don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be shotdown, shotdown, no more, no more
I don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be be shotdown, be shotdown

Baby what's your answer, there's somethin' that I'm after
Somethin' I can have for free, oh yeah
Tell me that it's alright, talk about your stage fright
Really got me uptight, baby what you want from me
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah (oh yeah)

Maybe it's the moonlight, maybe it's the rock 'n' roll, oh yeah
Maybe it's the moonlight, maybe it's the rock 'n' roll, oh yeah
But I don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be shotdown no more, no more, no more
I don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be be shotdown, be shotdown

Hey you

I don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be shotdown, shotdown, no more, no more
I don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be be shotdown
I don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be shotdown no more, no more, no more
I don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be be shotdown, be shotdown, be shotdown
Shotdown no more


7. LIKE A LOVER, LIKE A SONG

I don't wanna talk about it anymore
When there's nothin' goin' on, and somethin' should be done
Cause we believed for nothin' it seems
And now it's ended broken-hearted
And as anyone can see, there was no way we'd agree

And we can get there if we try
And I wanna live if I have to die
And it'll come so sweet and softly, like a song
And really turn me on, like a lover like a song
Really turn me on, turn me on

It seems there's somethin' deep inside of you
And I can tell that you've been lonely
And you've had hard times too
Cause we believed for nothin', it seems
And now it's shattered all apart, like a broken heart
It's the end, it's a start

And we can get there if we try
And I wanna live if I have to die
And it'll come so sweet and softly, like a song
And really turn me on, like a lover like a song
Really turn me on, really turn me on

And there's somethin' inside that's been burnin'
And there's somethin' inside I've been learnin'
And I can't hide cause it's all over me
And deep inside of you, inside of you
Deep inside of you, inside of you

I don't wanna talk about it anymore
When there's nothin' goin' on
And somethin' should be done
Cause we believed for nothin', it seems
And now it's ended broken-hearted
And as anyone can see, there was no way we'd agree

And we can get there if we try
And I wanna live if I have to die
And here's a chance for you to see
What this pain's been doin' to me
And I wanna lose it everyone
And have a heartache on the run
And we can get there if we try
And I wanna live if I have to die
If I have to die, if I have to die


8. KICK WILLY RD.

I don't believe the things I'm told
What's goin' down on Kick Willy Rd.
They got gang attacks, and some hard cold steel
On the back of my neck, from the way that I feel

I've been a bad boy, maybe once or twice
I got drunk and shot a little dice
But it's alright, comin' from the country
I can learn the city ways, yeah baby
And sometimes you know I really feel that way, yeah baby
And they say the fightin' helps them feel OK
But it's the country life I choose, forget the city blues
Baby I should try and get away

And here they come on a Friday night
You got two gangs lookin' for a fight
You got the Hubley boys and the Parnels too
It's the way that they live, the things that they do

I been a bad boy, maybe once or twice
I got drunk and shot a little dice
But it's alright, comin' from the country
I can learn the city ways, yeah baby
And sometimes you know I really feel that way, yeah
And they say that fightin' helps you feel OK
But it's the country life I choose, forget the city blues
Baby I should try and get away
Take me to the country

Fist fight, seem to have left someone
My my, wasn't that a good one
Too much, that boy done alright
You know sometimes I start to feel that way, yeah baby
And they say that fightin' helps you feel OK, yeah yeah
You know sometimes I really feel that way, baby baby
And they say that fightin' helps them feel OK, yeah yeah
Oooh, yeah yeah yeah
Oooh, yeah baby
You know sometimes I really feel that way, yeah yeah
You know sometimes I really feel that way, baby
You know sometimes I really feel that way, yeah baby
You know sometimes I really feel that way


9. THE WHOLE WORD’S GOIN’ CRAZY

Everyone's feelin' crazy, but no one takes the chance
When there's a knock on the floor, the whole world starts to dance
A fireman rushes over, he's got stretchmarks on his hose
And he punched out the light under everybody's nose

Ooh, ooh, it's alright (it's alright), it's alright (it's alright)
Ooh, ooh, it's alright, yeah it's just alright

The music was gettin' louder, until you could not hear a sound
So turn it up if you want when the record starts spinnin' around and around and around

And you can dance on my face if you want to
It's alright, it's alright
And if you're feelin' much the same way as I do
It's alright, yeah, it's just alright
The whole world's goin' crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Hey baby, you wanna go crazy with me

The ladies smoked the whiskey, and the butler ate the wine
New York, that's alright, but to keep it down more divine

The whole world's goin' crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Hey baby, you wanna go crazy with me
And you can dance on my face if you want to
It's alright, it's alright (everybody)
Cause if you're feelin' just as crazy as I do
It's alright, yeah, it's just alright
Ooh, ooh, it's alright (it's alright), it's alright (it's alright)
Ooh, ooh, it's alright, yeah it's just alright
