1. TAKE ME WITH YOU

Every time i see my baby home
I wanna kiss a little better so i get stoned
Gonna spread her pretty legs so i can see
Sweet lip honey be the death of me
And i will discover you'll be my midnight lover
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.

Sometimes when i'm feeling low
I go looking for a lover where the bad girls go
Sorry little girl, if you can't stay
Your red light mama gonna show the way

And then a certain madness
Will 'crease my heart with sadness
Oh babe, bring it on home to me
Take me with you i will give you anything a woman needs
Take me with you i will give you anything a woman needs

I know love and what it means
It's a skinny little girl in tight ass jeans
I love to hear'em moan and cry
'Cos god made men to satisfy
And with the fire returning
I feel the fever burning
Oh babe, bring it on home to me

Take me with you i will give you anything a woman needs
Take me with you i will give you anything a woman needs
Oh, take me with you.

Every time i see my baby home
I wanna kiss a little better so i get stoned
Gonna spread her pretty legs so i can see
Sweet lip honey be the death of me
And i will discover you'll be my midnight lover
Oh babe, bring it on home to me

Take me with you i will give you anything a woman needs
Take me with you i will give you anything a woman needs
Take me with you.


2. LOVE TO KEEP YOU WARM

If you want love
You gotta be cool
And if you deny it
Then baby you're a fool
I'm telling you now
Don't you hide it away
Because you need to keep you warm both night and day

I could come home
Late at night
And after some loving
Baby, it would be alright
I've given up trying
Lying my way
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me
Maybe if you want my love
You know you got it easily
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold
You know i won't be far away
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

You gotta have love

If you want schooling baby
I'll be around
I'm ready for fooling
But, don't hang around
And every morning i know i will say
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me
Maybe if you want my love
You know you got it easily
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold
You know i won't be far away
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day
I said you need love to keep you warm both night and day


3. LIE DOWN (A MODERN LOVE SONG)

You got the smile of a Mona-Lisa
Know it all an' giving nothing away
You make the sins of a vestal virgin
Look nothing more that a roll in the hay

So lie down, i think i love you
Lie down, i think i care
Lie down, i think i love you
Lie down, i think i care

You give an air of la Dolce Vita
Society's made a queen out of you
Casanova couldn't take all your virtue
But, rock 'n' roll is gonna steal it from you

So lie down, i think i love you
Lie down, i think i care
Lie down, i think i love you
Lie down, i think i care

Come on, girl, it'll be alright
Easy does it nice and slow
Woah, you know, mama, that tonight's the night
Come on and let your feelings show

Take a look in the mirror
Tell me what you see
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me

So lie down, i think i love you
Lie down, i think i care
Lie down, i think i love you
Lie down, i think i care

Take a look in the mirror
Tell me what you see
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me

Lie down, i think i love you
Lie down, i think i care
Lie down, i think i love you
Lie down, i think i care...


4. DAY TRIPPER

Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out, and i found out

Day tripper, day tripper, day tripper

She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out, and i found out
Day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out, and i found out

Day tripper, day tripper, day tripper

Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
She was a day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out, baby, and i found out

Day tripper...


5. NIGHTHAWK (VAMPIRE BLUES)

Gypsy woman told me
I've got to walk the night
Like a fallen angel
I'm blinded by the light
I need to find a love child
Who never did no wrong
A superstitious woman
To love me all night long

Let me love you

My heart beats like a hammer
I'm scared of being alone
I never thought i'd see the day
I'd curse when i was born
Caught up in a fever, running hot 'n cold
I need a sweet young woman
To satisfy my soul

Let me love you

Nighthawk, nighthawk
Shadow of the light
A loner in the city streets
Crying in the night
Nighthawk, nighthawk
Howling at the sky
When the moon is on the rise
You'll hear the nighthawk cry

Let me love you, let me love you

Let me love you, let me love you, let me love you

Gypsy woman told 'em
I've got to walk the night,
Like a fallen angel
I'm blinded by the light
Caught up in a fever running hot 'n' cold
Need a sweet young woman to satisfy my soul

Let me love you

Nighthawk, nighthawk
Shadow of the light
A loner in the city streets
Crying in the night
Nighthawk, nighthawk
Howling at the sky
When the moon is on the rise
You'll hear the nighthawk cry

Let me love you...


6. THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR LOVE

When i saw you in the garden
sweet lilac in your hair
The sunlight seemed to surround you
and bless the morning air
An' i wondered what your name was
and if you would dance with me
I heard you cry for mercy
But, my eyes they could not see

'Cos the time is right for love
The time is right for love
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love

So much for all your sweet words
all that you said you would do
Remember all my love songs
they were promises to you
But, i don't hold it against you
I know you're not to blame
So draw your circle around me
and we'll put all your lovers to shame

'Cos the time is right for love
The time is right for love
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love

'Cos the time is right for love
The time is right for love
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love...


7. TROUBLE

I was raised a gambler's son
And before i could walk
I had to learn how to run
And i never, never ever
Played a loaded dice
But, i rolled a lot of women
With a heart as cold as ice

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide
Everywhere i look there is trouble
Always coming my way
Trouble always coming my way

Baby i'm lonely, i'm out of control
I need someone to understand
The badness in my soul
Though i never, i never
Stole another man's wife
But, i fooled around plenty enough
And i got what i paid for

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere i look there is trouble
Trouble always coming my way

Trouble

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide
Everywhere i look there is trouble
Trouble always coming my way

Trouble always coming my way, trouble always coming...


8. FREE FLIGHT

Head on down the highway
Across the county line
I've had my fill of small town thrills
Gonna leave it all behind
Free flight, free flight

I'm careless in my loving
Shameless in my style
If i get caught by the short 'n curlies
I'll just hide out for a while.
Free flight, free flight

On an' on the road goes on
It'll go on forever
An' just the same i'll live my life
Hell bent for leather
Free flight, free flight

Heaven knows it's driving me crazy
It's a feeling inside
Heaven knows it's in my blood
As long as i try, i just can't deny
Free flight, come tomorrow dawn you'll find me gone
Free flight, make no bones about it, i'm moving on

Free flight, free flight, free flight
Free flight, free flight, free flight

Head on down the highway
Suitcase in your hand
When you get down with your feet on the ground
I know you'll understand
Free flight, free flight

Heaven knows it's driving me crazy
It's a feeling that's driving me wild
Heaven knows it's in my blood
Fool if you try, you just can't deny
Free flight, come tomorrow dawn you'll find me gone.
Free flight, make no bones about it, i'm moving on

Free flight, free flight, free flight...


9. DON'T MESS WITH ME

Fly like an eagle
An outlaw of the sun
Stealing 'round your bedroom door
A case of hit 'n run
Sinner, sinner
I'm no angel you can see

So i will tell you now
And i won't say it again
Don't mess with me
Oh baby, don't mess with me

Ride like a demon
The devil's only son
A whiskey drinking son of a bitch
I've only just begun
Sinner, sinner
I'm no angel you can see

I told you once before
And i won't say it again
Don't mess with me
Don't mess with me

Soothe me baby like i soothe you
Treat me baby like i treat you
Soothe me baby like i soothe you
Treat me baby like i...

Fly like an eagle
An outlaw of the sun
Never take what sleeps around
But, always get your fun
Sinner, sinner
You're no angel i can see

I told you once before
And i won't say it again
Don't mess with me
Don't mess with me

'Cos i'm a sinner
And sinners ain't the loving kind
