1. ONE TRACK MIND

(Hey - looking good! - Oh, I don't mean it that way)
I get excited by the wink of an eye
Or just the shake of a little of hip
Please pardon me if my thoughts blow up inside
Don't be embarrassed by a little old slip of the lip
Some things are better left unspoken
I try my best, but often make that big mistake
My friends all think I'm only joking
Please be considerate and just give me a break

'Cause I gotta one tack mind
I get in trouble all the time
A one track mind - what can I do
I got a one track mind
Think what you want, I say what I like
A one track mind - what about you?

I make 'em nervous with a twist on my tongue
Or just a simple little bird that I flip
I must a been denied back when I was young
Oops - oh no, there goes another Freudian slip
No chance to ever be forgiven Bad boy
My reputation's really going down the drain
My friends all think I'm only joking
Please be considerate and just give me a break

'Cause I gotta one tack mind
I get in trouble all the time
A one track mind - what can I do
I got a one track mind
Think what you want, I say what I like
A one track mind - what can I do?

'Cause I gotta one tack mind
Think what you want, I say what I like
A one track mind - how about you?
I got a one track mind
I get in trouble all the time
A one track mind - what can I do
I got a one track mind
Think what you want, I say what I like
A one track mind -- just like you?


2. THE BIGGER THEY ARE (THE HARDER THEY FALL)

So you're stuck between a rock and a hard place
No room up above
Getting stepped on once too often
Now the push comes to shove
You got what it takes my friend
You'll be the winner in the end

Feels like you got the weight of the world
On your broken back
Take aim, you gotta give it a shot
Can't beat the heat when you attack
Don't lose your faith my friend
You'll be the winner in the end

Just remember
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Little man don't ever stop
The bigger they are the harder they fall
There's plenty of room at the top

Don't get no respect from the boss man
Says you're a big disgrace
Instead of getting a pat on the back
You get a slap in the face
You got what it takes my friend
You'll be the winner in the end

Just remember
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Little man don't ever stop
The bigger they are the harder they fall
You'll always find there's plenty of room at the top

Just remember
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Little man don't ever stop
The bigger they are the harder they fall
There's plenty of room at the top

Just remember
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Little man don't ever stop
The bigger they are the harder they fall
You'll always find there's plenty of room at the top


3. I'M A SURVIVOR

Hot lights give me the rights
To take it out of control
Street fights, big city nights
Watch it now 'cause I'm on a roll

I spy the look of blood in your eye
You must have sold your soul
Don't you try messing with me
Pressure's gonna take its toll

Don't make me do it
'cause I'll cast a spell
Don't put me to it
'Cause I bounce back when I fall

I'm a survivor - change with the wind
Chase my love out on the road
I'm a survivor - living in sin
And I fight until the day I win

I fly with my power on high
Kick in adrenaline
Testify - do or die
I blow like nitroglycerin

Don't make me do it,
'cause I'll cast a spell
Don't put me to it
'Cause I bounce back when I fall
Yes I bounce back when I fall

I'm a survivor - change with the wind
Chase my love out on the road
I'm a survivor - living in sin
And I fight until the day I win

I'm a survivor - change with the wind
Chase my love out on the road
I'm a survivor - living in sin
And I fight until the day I win

I'm a survivor - change with the wind
Chase my love out on the road
I'm a survivor - living in sin
And I fight until the day I win


4. NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN

Babe's got tears in her eyes
Sorry to say, but it's true
Can't go on living like this
She needs her freedom to try something new
She says I got stars in my eyes
Saying my dreams are to blame
Can't stay home all alone
Only time will heal the pain

Same old dreams they reappear
Just like that look in your eyes
You cast your spell, now I can't escape
So baby, let me come back
Girl I'll never leave you again,
Leave you again

Last time I hit the road
Fame and fortune were mine
I threw caution to the wind
For one moment of sin
Living and loving it up all the time
Cause I'm a walking stick of dynamite
Got a short fuse
I shoot for the top, never lose
And I ain't gonna let nothing get in my way
I got the power right here when I play

Same old dreams they reappear
When you say your love never dies
You cast your spell with that look in your eyes
So baby, let me come back, girl
Girl I'll never leave you again,
Leave you again
Girl I'll never leave you again,
Leave you again

Same old dreams they reappear
When you say your love never dies
When you cast your spell with that look in your eyes
So baby, let me come back, girl
Girl I'll never leave you again,
Leave you again
Girl I'll never leave you again,
Leave you again
Girl I'll never leave you again,
Leave you again
Girl I'll never leave you again,
I'll never leave you again,
I'll never leave you again,
I'll never leave you again,


5. TOUGH ON LOVE

You must have fallen right out of my dream
So here's a plan guaranteed to let off steam
I'll time my loving exactly right
And make my move in the heat of the night
So get ready, oh yeah

You can't go wrong, if the feeling's strong
Falling head over heels
Gotta have you today

So don't be too tough
Tough on love
No don't be tough
Tough on love
Don't be too tough
Tough on love
'Cause I play rough

I want some and I want it bad
I need more of what I just had with you babe, oh yeah
Listen close and don't you call my bluff
I play for keeps and, baby,
I play rough - so get ready, oh yeah

You can't go wrong, if the feeling's strong
Falling head over heels
Gotta have you today

So don't be too tough
Tough on love
No don't be tough
Tough on love

Tough on love
'Cause I play rough

So don't be too tough
Tough on love

Hey what do you saying gone
No I'm busy much
Come on
No I gotta go

You can't go wrong, if the feeling's strong
Falling head over heels
Gotta have you today

Don't be too tough
Tough on love
Don't be tough
Tough on love
Don't be too tough
Tough on love
'Cause I play rough

Don't be too tough

Tough on love
'Cause I play rough


6. HUNGRY HEARTS

Fighting all the odds of adversity
Striving for your freedom and security
All those dues you pay and pay but it's never enough
Pour your heart out time and again, going's always tough
The strong will survive so reach for the sky
And make your demands
United we stand
The future is in your hands

So hang tough - hungry hearts
Caught in the crossfire of making your mark
So hang tough - hungry hearts

Living with your back up against the wall
Swear you'll dedicate your life to escape it all
You'd sell your soul if you could get a lucky break
So shoot your best shot, your desire is what you make
So use all your magic, reach for the stars
And give your commands
United we stand
The future is in your hands

So hang tough - hungry hearts
Caught in the crossfire of making your mark
So hang tough - hungry hearts

So hang tough - hungry hearts
Caught in the crossfire of making your mark
So hang tough - hungry hearts
Caught in the crossfire of making your mark
So hang tough - hungry hearts
Caught in the crossfire of making your mark
So hang tough - hungry hearts
Caught in the crossfire of making your mark
So hang tough - hungry hearts


7. YOU RUN AWAY

I been looking at the way you walk
Bet you can really make your body talk
So come on, talk to me

I been watching you for quite some time
I'm just looking - hey, that ain't no crime
Getting testy, can't you see

Got the right circumstances
Take a chance on some quick romancing
I'll make my smooth advance
Hey baby, it works every time

But you run away
You run away
You run away
Come on and stay

I been running 'round eager to please
Taking advantage with my expert tease
Now I'm falling on my knees

You been taking everything you need
You hit and run and then you watch me bleed
Have mercy - baby, please

Got the right circumstances
Take a chance on some quick romancing
I'll make my smooth advance
Hey baby, it works every time

But you run away
You run away
You run away
Come on and stay

You run away
You run away
You run away
Come on baby and stay

But you run away
You run away
You run away
Come on baby and stay

You run away
You run away
You run away
Come on baby and stay

You run away
You run away
You run away
Come on baby and stay


8. LOOK IN THE MIRROR

High, high love
Let 'em high

I need a little old sign
Tell me is it true
I need to know, I need to know,
Just what I'm gonna do

You tell me right now
I gotta do it somehow
I gotta try, I gotta try,
Get a message on through

You say it makes no difference
'Cause you won't believe
This pleasure cruise has lost its spell
And changed its course
Headed down a rocky road

So just look in the mirror - who do you see?
Look in the mirror - as plain as day to me
Look in the mirror - and you'll agree
Look in the mirror - only you got the key

I gotta little deal, the real real deal
I gotta deal, gotta deal, a deal that you can't refuse
Only time will tell, it'll really tell
It's a time, it's a time,
If you're gonna win or lose

To me it makes no difference
If you don't believe
This pleasure cruise has lost it's spell
And changed its course
Headed down a rocky road

So just look in the mirror - who do you see?
Look in the mirror - as plain as day to me
Look in the mirror - and you'll agree
Just look in the mirror - only you got the key

So just look in the mirror - who do you see?
Look in the mirror - as plain as day to me
Look in the mirror - and you'll agree
Just look in the mirror - only you got the key

Just look in the mirror - who do you see?
Look in the mirror - as plain as day to me
Look in the mirror


9. FEEL THE FIRE

I stand here so empty
Frozen in time from the chill of your eyes
No escaping this bad dream
Tormenting my soul and twisting my mind
I knew it right from the start
You grabbed me right by my heart

Through the passion and desire
See my hunger for love
Watch the flames keep getting higher
Couldn't break out fast enough
Knew the danger, but wouldn't read the signs
Now I'm beckoning the call

Feel the fire
Burning what's left of my soul
Feel the fire
Now that your touch has gone cold oh yeah

Misadventure and temptation
Always knocking at my door
Took a step and then I stumbled
Now I'm lost forever more
Tried to change my ways, but never was forgiven
Now I'm echoing the call

Feel the fire
Burning what's left of my soul
Feel the fire
Now that your touch has gone cold oh yeah

I stand here so helpless
Somewhere back in time,
See the warmth of your eyes
With no escaping this bad dream
Tormenting my soul and melting my mind oh yeah

Feel the fire
Burning what's left of my soul
Feel the fire
Now that your touch has gone cold

Feel the fire
Burning what's left of my soul
Feel the fire
Now that your touch has gone cold oh yeah


10. HI $ HONEY

When you look in my eyes
Dollar signs are all you see
Got a money hungry appetite
Best things in life are free

Got your Cadillac and mink stole
Baby's on a roll
But when you reach into my pocket
Looking for some change
I know something else is on your mind

You're my high dollar honey
Hi $ honey
Got me in a financial squeeze
You know you're making it hard on my credit card
High dollar honey believes
She's got the best of me

You know haste makes waste
Think I got money to burn
Well, when it's time to pay the bills
It ain't your concern

I get you Gucci and some Givenchy
But the thing that really satisfies you
Is when you turn out the light
And you make it all right
You can have your cake and eat it too

You're my high dollar honey
Hi $ honey
Got me in a financial squeeze
You know you're making it hard on my credit card
High dollar honey believes
She's got the best of me

You tell all your friends you got it made
Say I'm your ace in the hole
Let's give my wallet a rest
It's kinda getting out of control

You try to make me believe
There's nothing up your sleeve
So if you want a fat cat,
I'll be your sugar daddy
That's the price you pay to rock'n'roll

You're my high dollar honey
Hi $ honey
Got me in a financial squeeze
You know you're making it hard on my credit card
High dollar honey believes

She's my high dollar honey
Hi $ honey
Got me in a financial squeeze
You know you're making it hard on my credit card
High dollar honey
High dollar honey
She's got the best of me
