1. I LIVE FOR THE WEEKEND

Makin my way to the job each day
Slave like a dog for my hard-earned pay
When the bell rings then I’m ready to run
Gonna get high, gonna have some fun
I know that the boss, he don’t think I’m good
But, baby I’m just badly misunderstood
Cuz you know what I like, oh yeah

[Chorus:]
I live, I live, I live for the weekend (x2)

Ya know ya gotta serve
Know ya gotta please
My baby puts my mind at ease
Friday comes and I’m thinkin of you
Cuz at five o’clock they’re gonna set me loose
Come on, baby, we’re gonna live it up
Don’t ya know that I can’t get enough
Of your sweet love

[Chorus]

I know baby you don’t think I’m good
But you got me badly misunderstood
Cuz you know what I like

[Chorus]


2. I CAN SURVIVE

Well my teacher told me “boy, you’re no good
Just because you don’t do what you should
You better shape up, or you’re gonna fail
But I said “I’m leavin, cuz this is a jail”
And I know what you’re thinkin
But don’t pity me, oh no
I’ll be better off out on my own

I can survive, I know that
I can survive just fine
I said, I can survive
I said, I can survive on my own

They tried to tell me they tried to sell me
“Play music like this if you want to be smart”
But I said “listen, here’s what you’re missin,
Music’s got to have a heart”
They put me through many changes
Faces and names are clear
But I’ll just leave my music
Ringin’ louder in their ears

I can survive, I know that
I can survive just fine
I can survive, I know that
I can survive just fine
I can survive
I can survive on my own
Said, I can survive

Now you should know just what I do
Don’t let other people take advantage of you
Now don’t think twice no don’t hesitate
Shoot for the top, you gotta deal with fate
And I know you’ll feel better
I know that you’ll understand
You got the power baby, in your hands yeah!

I can survive, baby
I can survive just fine, I know
I can survive, baby
I can survive on my own
I can survive, baby
I can survive just fine
I can survive


3. IN THE NIGHT

In the night, in the darkness
Love can grow or love will die
Such a strange situation
Thought I heard somebody cry
I found love, inspiration
We had time, so much to share
Came the night, came the darkness
I reached out and she wasn’t there

[Chorus:]
There’s a voice in the night
Crying in the night
Can’t you hear it?
Can’t you hear it?
There’s a voice in the night
Crying in the night
Can’t you hear it?
Can’t you hear it?

So much pain, persecution
Disillusion and despair
Think I need some consolation
Think I need; think I need someone to care
All my dreams, gone for ever
I feel the fade and drift away
Now I cry, cry, cry in the darkness
Can’t you hear what I’m trying to say

[Chorus]

You tell yourself
Don’t be lonely don’t be scared
And everything will be alright
But the darkness comes, and then you hear
All those voices in the night
In the night

A time will come when you are lonely
When you get scared and too weak to fight
Then you will cry, cry, cry in the darkness
And you’ll be just another voice out in the night
Voice in the night

[Chorus]


4. NATURE'S CHILD

I was brought up in the backstreets
A motherless son with no family
Out on my own to face reality
I heard my dear daddy was just like me

[Chorus:]
I’m a nature’s child
’m a nature’s child
On the loose, runnin wild

I live my life like I wanna live
I got no reasons that I have to give
Now no one’s got no chains on me
I’ll tell you something baby
It’s the way it should be

[Chorus]

I’m a nature’s child (x3)


5. WOMAN IN LOVE

“Get outta here, leave me alone”
And she slammed the door right in my face
I know I was a little late but
I can’t communicate when romance is a race
So I knocked again and marched on in
Said “Baby let me state my case
Lovers can be cruel but I don’t wanna
Why must you act like a prima donna”?

She’s a woman in love, she’s a woman in love
This messin around is bringing me down
With my woman in love

You say I’m crazy, no good and lazy
But you keep coming back for more
If you’re after money, then a back off honey
I’ve been down that route before
So take it or leave, but baby don’t tease it
Your games are such a bore
I don’t understand your philosophy
Why must our love be a tragedy

She’s a woman in love, she’s a woman in love
Woman in love
I don’t know which to turn baby
She’s a woman in love, woman in love
I just don’t know what I got to do with my woman in love
Making me crazy

Try to understand
What it means to be a man
Although I seem cruel
I’m trying the best I can
Sometimes you treat me so low down dirty

She’s my woman in love, woman in love
Woman in love
Don’t you know you’re kind of
Messing me around baby
She’s my woman in love, woman in love
This messin’ around is bringing me down
With my woman in love
She’s my woman in love, yeah
Woman in love
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, she’s making me crazy
Woman in love
Yea, woman in love


6. TAKE MY HEART

Take my heart
I lay it before you in my song
I play my part
And hope against all hope you play along
Take my heart
Take this magic from my mind
Take my heart
Take the dreams you always hoped to find

[Chorus:]
Take my song, take my heart
Give my dreams a chance to start
Take my song, take my heart
Take my love

I wear a song to mask my awkward face
The music helps to fill the empty space
I wish that I could hide it all away
Instead it shows in every note I play
And I play
And I play

[Chorus]


7. TEAR THE ROOF OFF

Everybody welcome to the show
I gotta message that you oughta know
Stand in the aisles, stand on the seats
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Tonight, we’re gonna raise some hell
It’s time to jump and it’s time to yell

[Chorus:]
Let’s tear the roof off tonight
Tear the roof off tonight
The fuse is ready to light
Tear the roof off tonight

Hey listen, if you got the time
I see a lady she’s at least a nine
She’s ready to rock, ready to roll
C’mon girl let’s lose control
Stick with me and you’ll feel alright
As long as you stay for the show tonight

[Chorus]

C’mon baby, shake me up
My head is spinning like a top
I got me a rock and roll machine
Let’s hear you shout, hear you scream
Tell me that you love me like I knew you would
The party here never felt so good

[Chorus]


8. FINGER TAKIN' (INSTRUMENTAL)

(Instrumental)


9. HARD ROAD

[Chorus:]
It’s a hard road
A hard road to follow
It’s a hard road
But it’s the highway to tomorrow

Hey you, man, what do you know?
It’s not so easy on the lonely road
Hey man, where do I go
Nothing to win and nothing to show

[Chorus]

Hey you human sacrifice
You paid the road, was it worth the price?
It takes it takes it doesn’t ask twice
You could win the world,
But you could lose your life

[Chorus] (x2)

You waste each precious moment
Chasing rainbows in the sky
The road lies there before you
Are you afraid to try?

You’re so clever
You’re so cool
But you’re just another number
Just another fool
How you thirst for sweet revenge
But you’re the loser in the end

[Chorus] (x2)

Highway to tomorrow (x2)

And when it’s said and done
And the hard road claims you
Even though it won
No one really blames you
The truth gets lost
But the legend will grow
Yesterday’s victim, tomorrow’s hero
