Lyrics

1. LOVIN' EVERY MINUTE OF IT

I'm not man or machine
I'm just something in between
I'm all love, a dynamo
So push the button and let me go

You want me to come alive
Just flick the switch into overdrive
You and me can let it be
Ready-Aim-Fire

Touch that dial - Turn me on
Start me like a motor, make me run
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it

I got fun - You got deal
You want to drive then take the wheel
You and me can let it be
Ready-Aim-Fire

Touch that dial - Turn me on
Start me like a motor, make me run
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it

You want me to come alive
Just flick the switch into overdrive
You and me can let it be
Ready-Aim-Fire

Touch that dial - Turn me on
Start me like a motor, make me run
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it

Touch that dial - Turn me on
Start me like a motor, make me run
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it


2. STEAL THE THUNDER

You've got to try a little harder
Shout a little louder
Or no one's gonna hear what you say
Cause it's dog eat dog
Winner takes it all, so don't you stand in my way

Oh - Steal the thunder
Back me up against the wall
You want to drag me under
But I'm not about to fall

All you one-shot wonders
We got your number
And I can see right through you
It's a fight to the finish
We're going to win it
If that's the best you can do

Oh - Steal the thunder
Back me up against the wall
You want to drag me under
But I'm not about to fall

The denim brigade is gonna have their day
The denim brigade is gonna get their way
The denim brigade is gonna have their say

Steal the thunder
Draggin' me under
No! You can't do it
You better watch what you say
You got to try a little harder
Shout a little louder
No one's going to hear what you say
Cause it's dog eat dog and
Winner takes it all, so don't you stand in my way

Oh - Steal the thunder
Back me up against the wall
You want to drag me under
But I'm not about to fall

The denim brigade is gonna have their day
The denim brigade is gonna get their way
The denim brigade is gonna have their say

Oh - Steal the thunder
Back me up against the wall
You want to drag me under
But I'm not about to fall

Steal the thunder, steal the thunder,
Steal the thunder, steal the thunder


3. FRIDAY NIGHT

Burning up the miles, there's a full moon out tonight
I've got a high-heel Venus, doing twice the speed of light
Crank it up through the gears--see what she can do
Women and cars--everything they say is true

Stand in line - No! No!
Wasting time - No
Friday night, Friday night
I just got paid--no sleep 'til Monday
Friday night, Friday night
Who cares, it's only money
I've been bidin' my time, listen to the Boss man scream
Workin' forty hours, payin' for this dream machine
'Cause I'm living proof - every mad-dog has his day
I'm going to find me a woman--head out on the Old Highway

Friday night, Friday night
Friday night, Friday night
It's only money
Friday night, Friday night
I just got paid, no sleep 'til Monday
Friday night, Friday night
Who cares it's only money

Friday night, Friday night


4. THIS COULD BE THE NIGHT

Ask any girl, in this lonely world
Ask any girl, she'll say make it last forever

I'm holding out my hand, I finally understand
So turn out the lights (oh yeah) we'll make it last forever.

I've been down the streets of desire
Sometimes I was so uninspired
You found what was locked up inside of me

This could be the night, the night to remember
We'll make it last forever
This could be the night
Oh, to end all nights

I've always been the one
Lovin' on the run
That's when you came undone, oh girl
Why do you wait for me?

Out on the borderline, between the hurtin' lies
And the true emotions, that ,make it last forever

This could be the night, the night to remember
We'll make it last forever
This could be the night
Oh, to end all nights

I've been down the streets of desire
Sometimes I was so uninspired
You found what was locked up inside of me

This could be the night, the night to remember
We'll make it last forever
This could be the night
Oh, to end all nights

This could be the night, the night to remember
We'll make it last forever
This could be the night
Oh, to end all nights

To end all nights.


5. TOO MUCH TOO SOON

You drive around in your long black car
You're looking for bounty on another young heart
So young and pretty--does she do it for you
You've got the whole damn world and now you want her too!
You tell her lies and you use her up
Another trophy, welcome to the club
You're always playing with your loaded dice
I'll only tell you once--take my advice

[Chorus:]
Too much too soon, you got it all so easily
Too much too soon, now somebody put the hurt on me
You're trespassing on my property
If you're looking for her, you've got to go through me
I can tell there's something up your sleeve
Who knows what a young girl believes
You give her money, you promise her the world
A tall story for a small-town girl--
You're so smart, you're always getting your way
Cross that line and you'll have hell to pay

You got me in a squeeze play
You got me in a squeeze play

[Chorus]

You got me in a squeeze play
You got me in a squeeze play

Too much, too soon, you got it all so easily
Too much too soon, now somebody got the squeeze on me

[Chorus]

You got me in a squeeze play
You got me in a squeeze play

Too much, too soon, you got it all so easily
Too much, too soon, now somebody put the squeeze on me


6. LEAD A DOUBLE LIFE

All day I've been banging the walls,
Like a prisoner in a cell
If I don't get out I'm going to lose my mind
There's got to be more for me
I'm tired of the same old scene
I can't wait to see that face--to say goodbye--bye, bye
I want to say goodbye
I got something inside of me
That I don't intend to waste,
I've got dreams baby I can't forget
I've been looking all around and there's nothing left for me
There's only one way out and girl I'm going to take it

Push me, pull me, never get a minute to yourself
Pure hell, get you if you let it, stand up, sit down,
All I ever get is your backtalk, back off, push me to the limit
I lead a double life, I come alive at night

I had champagne milkshake for breakfast
But I know where I'll sleep tonight
I've got a blue-eyed earthquake--she's lyin' in my bed
Ain't it a wonderful life

Push me, pull me, never get a minute to yourself
Pure hell, get you if you let it, stand up, sit down,
All I ever get is your backtalk, back off, push me to the limit
I lead a double life, I come alive at night

Push me, pull me, never get a minute to yourself
Pure hell, get you if you let it, stand up, sit down,
All I ever get is your backtalk, back off,
Push me to the limit
I lead a double life, I come alive at night

I lead a double life, I come alive at night
I lead a double life, I come alive at night
I lead a double life, 007 I come alive at night
Rock and roll heaven, I lead a double life
I come alive at night, rock and roll heaven
I lead a double life, I come alive at night
I lead a double life, 007 I come alive at night


7. DANGEROUS

You're doing it every night, you play with my emotions
Before we go on fighting let's get one thing straight
Is it going to be him or me--You know I need an answer
And now down to the wire and I just won't wait

[Chorus:]
There's something going on, I want to hear it from you face-to-face
Ya--you know it won't be long, before you make your last mistake
Cause you're dangerous, you've got it coming to you
Dangerous--Now what am I going to do?
Dangerous--And I'm a lot like you

We got to talk it out, there's three sides to every story
Well--ya, there's your side,
There's my side and then there's the truth
I want to hear it from you, ya say we're all the same
But I know you ain't no angel,
Cause who you gonna blame when you wake up
Beside a stranger
Dangerous--You got it coming to you
Dangerous--Now what am I going to do, Baby
Dangerous--And I'm a lot like you
I'm a lot like you

[Chorus]


8. DESTINATION HEARTBREAK

One more night, all alone
Sittin' here by the telephone
TV light down the hall
Past the room where we shared it all

It coulda been a stranger
But it had to be a friend....
I see my life before me
Now it's coming to an end

Destination Heartbreak
Destination Heartbreak

Telephone rings; no one's there
Another secret you two can share
Hands are tied, there's nothin' I can do
Can't help the way that I feel for you

It coulda been a stranger
But it had to be a friend....
I see my life before me
Now it's coming to an end

Destination Heartbreak
Destination Heartbreak

I look in the mirror
But I can't see myself
Oh I can see you smiling
In the arms of someone else

It coulda been a stranger
But it had to be a friend....
I see my life before me
Now it's coming to an end

Destination Heartbreak
Destination Heartbreak
Destination Heartbreak
Destination Heartbreak


9. BULLET IN THE CHAMBER

Red light--black lace
It's gonna blow up right in your face
You take the heat, you pay the price
Keep on fingering the merchandise

Squeeze slow, steady all the way
Breathe slowly while you're taking your aim
It's now or never, it's in your sights
Oh--is it safe to say

Do yourself a favor--I'm like a bullet in the chamber
Why don't you do us both a favor,
I'm like a bullet in the chamber

I'm cold steel--hot lead
I'm getting in way over my head
I'm wound up--I'm ready to go
Your attitiude tells me what I need to know
So you, you say you like it rough
And you tell me that you want it that way
Do you really think you're tough enough?
Oh, be careful what you say

Do yourself a favor--I'm like a bullet in the chamber
Why don't you do us both a favor
And put a bullet in the chamber


Do yourself a favor--I'm like a bullet in the chamber
Why don't you do us both a favor
And put a bullet in the chamber
Do yourself a favor--I'm like a bullet in the chamber
Why don't you do us both a favor
And put a bullet in the chamber
