2. NIGHTRIDE

Dreaming, going on a night ride
Hoping, it's gonna be the right ride
Feeling so well
I'm in tune cant' you tell
That I'm grooving
Can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you

Leaning, hoping for a straight line
Meaning, hoping for the right rhyme
I'm in tune to the room
'Cos my head just went Boom
And I'm moving
Can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you
Can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you

You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me

Scheming, thinking of the right place
Beaming, laughing at my own face
We've got a long way to go
'Cos you make like you're so dissaproving
But can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you
Can't you tell I'm in tune
And I'm moving so much closer to you

You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You......



3. MAD ABOUT THE BOY

She never has to worry
And she never has to try
She's never in a hurry
And I know the reason why
She's got her Daddie's
And her fingers in some pies
She makes a double of a trouble with her lies

She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy
She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy
She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy

She's always late to meet me
And she always has to go
To make another entry
At another coolie show
She is a dirty little lady
But I know
She only has to say the chorus and I go

She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy
She says, Oh-oh-oh I'm mad about the boy
She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy

Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles that would make you scream and shout
Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles I will tell you all about

No I don't take a drink
No I won't take a drink
But I sure take some ups and some downs
She makes me so weary
She picks me up to put me down

Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles that would make you scream and shout
Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles I will tell you all about

No I don't take a drink
No I won't take a drink
But I sure take some ups and some downs
You makes me so weary
You pick it up and put me down

You never have to worry
And you never have to try
You're never in a hurry
And I know the reason why
You got your Daddie's
And your fingers in some pies
You makes a double of a trouble with your lies

You say, Oh I'm mad about the boy
You say, Oh-oh-oh I'm mad about the boy
You say, Oh I'm mad about the boy


4. FOR YOU

Now I see the light that's shining from your eyes
Even brighter than before
Telling me something now that I believe is true
'cos I found the truth with you

I will take you with me everywhere I go
Flying higher than before
With a feeling that is meant for you and me
Every day a little more

If we see a way together as we go
We will never be alone
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

If I think of all the things that I have seen
And I look at you and me
When I think of all the things that I could do
I could do them all with you
I would do them all with you
I will do them all for you

6. LONG-LEGGED LINDA

Well, if you're ever in Los Angeles
And you've got time to spare
Take a stroll up Sunset Boulevard
You'll find the Whiskey there
Gliding round the tables
With wounderous natural ease
Serving two-star brandy
Is the body you have to see...all belonging to

Long-legged Linda
She sure was worth the flight
Long-legged Linda is playing the Whiskey
Tonight

Oh don't boogie-woogie with Linda
'Tho she dances like a dream
She acts like she's a thousand
But she's barely sweet sixten
She re-arranged my brain-cells
And took control of me
So if I miss my plain to Jacksonville
You can guess where I'll still be...I'll be diggin'

Long-legged Linda
She sure was worth the flight
Long-legged Linda is playing the Whiskey
Tonight

She re-arranged my brain-cells
And took control of me
So if I miss my plain to Jacksonville
You can guess where I'll still be...I'll be diggin'

Long-legged Linda
She sure was worth the flight
Long-legged Linda is playing the Whiskey
Tonight

Long-legged Linda
She sure was worth the flight
Long-legged Linda is playing the Whiskey
Tonight

Long-legged Linda
Long-legged Linda
Long-legged Linda
Long-legged .....

Help me, I'm falling
Making the same mistakes again

Hold me, just hold me
You told me what was right and what was wrong
And I can't stand the feeling
I never found the words to the song
If I hold myself together
The pain won't last forever

I've had an overdose, I've had an overdose of life
I've had an overdose, I've had an overdose of life
I've had an overdose, I've had an overload of life
I can't take anymore

13. DREAMIN'

I heard you cry tonight while you were sleeping tight
What were you dreamin'?
Was it another guy and did he make you cry
While you were dreamin'?
I don't find it easy to say
But I think it's right that you have to know

Why won't you understand you're being underhand
About your dreamin'?
I love you more and more, of that you can be sure
Even your dreamin'
I don't mind if you just say
You dream of us both but I have to know
You've got to understand you're being underhand
About your dreamin'

Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never long enough
Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never good enough
I wonder do, do, do you ever get to sleep at night?
Who, who, who is it gonna be tonight?

You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
I do believe it
You know you can be sure I want you more and more
Can you believe it?
I don't find it easy to say
But I think it's right that you have to know
You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
I do believe it
You are a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl

You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl

About your dreamin'..


14. EVERYTIME I THINK OF YOU

I wrote a letter
But I threw it away
I can't forget you
That's what I want to say
Anytime or place, just to see your face
Everytime I think of you
You know it makes me sad
That you feel this way
'cos I want you so bad
And it don't seem right
That you won't be here tonight
Everytime I think of you

Everytime I think of you
I wanna shout about it
But waiting's so hard when you live without love
Oh - oh, everytime I think of you

There's nothing left at all
Only a photograph
Hanging on my wall
It was my mistake, but it's my heart that aches
Everytime I think of you

Everytime I think of you
I wanna shout about it
But waiting's so hard when you live without love
Oh - oh, everytime I ...

I wrote a letter
Gotta let you know
That I still want you
And I just can't let go
And it still ain't right
That you won't be here tonight
Everytime I think of you

Everytime I think of you
I wanna shout about it
But waiting's so hard when you live without love
Oh - oh, everytime I think of you

Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you


15. MAGIC

Never been very good at the things that I should do better
And I've tied very hard just to see if I could forget ya
But never, ever could we get back together
I doubt it somehow, doubt it, yes I do

Did you think that I would be so good that it wouldn't matter
And did you feel at the time that the weight of the time is greater
It's magic, magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling

Just call me and you know I'll be there
Don't worry me you know I'll be there
No matter if it's day or night, you
Why worry if I say I'll be there

Did it all, looking back at the road, maybe lacked some measure
Could it be, could it be you and me wanted just the pleasure, my pleasure

But magic, magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling

Just call me and you know I'll be there
Don't worry me you know I'll be there
Won't matter if it's day or night, you
Why worry if I say I'll be there

Right or wrong, it's still the same
It's a win-or-lose-it game

Never been very good at the things that I should do better
Could it be, could it be you and me wanted just the pleasure, my pleasure

But magic, magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling
Magic, oh it's magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling
Magic, oh it's magic, everything else has had it.


16. AIN'T COMPLAINING

There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, right left right
Up down up down up down up down

All right all right
You wind me up, you bring me down
Your reputation is all over the town
So long as you come home to me
I ain't complaining
You fool around, we scream and fight
The way you're treating me, you know it ain't right
But when you're making out with me
I ain't complaining

It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
and I'll come running to you

All right all right
You're out all night, you sleep all day
When I get home you're going out to play
Oh, woman give me some time and everything's fine
I ain't complaining

You just don't care, we're in a mess
And the company you keep ain't the best
But when you're lying there with me
I ain't complaining

It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you

But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if you don't come home to me
I'll be complaining

All right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
Our situation ain't looking too bright
'cause I have taken all I'm gonna take
Without complaining

It ain't no use playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you

But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if I don't come home to you
You'll be complaining

All right all right all right all right
All right all right


17. GOING DOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME

I wake up every morning and that's my first mistake
From thereon in it's downhill all the way
I used to have a problem but now you want to leave
My new problem's getting through the day

Going down for the first time
Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, I can't stay here by myself
And I can't work you out of my mind

Now I don't mind admitting that maybe you were right
The more we try the less it seems to work
We get so used to banging our heads against the wall
It's only when we stop it starts to hurt

Going down for the first time
Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, I can't stay here by myself
I'll step right out of line, I'll go clean out of time
Yes I could use a little help, know I'd lose it by myself
If you fall out of sight, you know you'll turn out the light

Going down for the first time
Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, I can't stay here by myself
I'll step right out of line, I'll go clean out of time
Yes I could use a little help, know I'd lose it by myself
If you fall out of sight, you know you'll turn out the light
And I'll quietly go out of my mind


18. PERFECT REMEDY

I thought that you would leave my memory
I didn't think you'd stay in mind, I didn't think at all
At least I thought that with some misery
I'd find a way to have it all, and with or without you

But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right, put it another way
You do like you do when you do what you do like I do
Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control

You thought you had the perfect remedy
A perfect remedy for me, a remedy for all
You say at last you tried so pleasantly
To find a way to have it all, or have a drink on me

But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right, put it another way
You do like you do when you do what you do like I do
Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control

I guess it's just a faded memory
That comes along with certainty
Then goes and fades away
But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right
