Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus. Looks in the window and fixes her hair. Nobody notices and nobody cares. She admits it ain't no kinda life, Workin' 9 to 5 you know... She's only happy when she's dancin'! There ain't no place she'd rather be. When she's dancin'. Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies. When Friday evenin' finally rolls around, She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown. Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain", Nothin' matters until Monday so she goes insane. Well it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet, But that's the way the story goes. She's only happy when she's dancin'! There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free. When she's dancin'. The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see. She ain't got much but she got independence. Yeah - she's doin' alright.

(C'mon dance with me babe) Dancin' - there ain't no place she'd rather be. When she's dancin', Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies, babe - dancin'!Run To You She says her love for me could never die. But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I. Oh - but her love is cold. It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know. 'Cause... When it gets too much, I need to feel your touch.... I'm gonna run to you. I'm gonna run to you. 'Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night, I'm gonna run to you. She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down. But you're the one that always turns me on, You keep me comin' 'round. I know her love is true, But it's so damn easy makin' love to you. I got my mind made up, I need to feel your touch......... I'm gonna run to you. Yeah - I'm gonna run to you.

Oh when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night, I'm gonna run to you Heaven Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years. There was only you and me, We were young and wild and free. Now nothin' can take you away from me. We've been down that road before, But that's over now, You keep me comin' back for more. Baby you're all that I want. When you're lyin' here in my arms, I'm findin' it hard to believe, We're in heaven. And love is all that I need, And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see, We're in heaven. Oh - once in your life you find someone, Who will turn your world around, Bring you up when you're feelin' down. Yeah - nothin' could change what you mean to me. Oh there's lots that I could say, But just hold me now, 'Cause our love will light the way. And baby you're all that I want. When you're lyin' here in my arms, I'm findin' it hard to believe, We're in heaven. Yeah, love is all that I need, And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see, We're in heaven. I've bin waitin' for so long, For somethin' to arrive. For love to come along. Now our dreams are comin' true, Through the good times and the bad Yeah - I'll be standin' there by you. Somebody I been lookin' for someone, Between the fire and the flame. We're all lookin' for somethin', To ease the pain. Now who can you turn to, When it's all black and white? And the winners are losers You see it every night. I need somebody, Somebody like you. (Everybody needs somebody) I need somebody. Hey what about you? (Everybody needs somebody) When you're out on the front line, And you're watchin' them fall. It doesn't take long to realize, It ain't worth fightin' for. I thought I saw the Madonna, When you walked in the room. Well your eyes were like diamonds, And they cut right through - oh they cut right through. I need somebody, Somebody like you. (Everybody needs somebody) I need somebody. Hey what about you? (We all need somebody) Another night another lesson learned. It's the distance keeps us sane. But when the silence leads to sorrow, We do it all again - all again. I need somebody, Somebody like you. (Everybody needs somebody) I need somebody. Hey what about you? (Everybody needs somebody) Summer Of '69 I got my first real six-string. Bought it at the five-and-dime. Played it till my fingers bled. It was the summer of '69. Me and some guys from school, Had a band and we tried real hard. Jimmy quit and Jody got married, I shoulda known we'd never get far. Oh when I look back now, That summer seemed to last forever. And if I had the choice, Yeah - I'd always wanna be there. Those were the best days of my life... Ain't no use in complainin', When you got a job to do. Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in, And that's when I met you. Standin' on your mama's porch, You told me that you'd wait forever. Oh and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never. Those were the best days of my life... Back in the summer of '69 Man we were killin' time. We were young and restless, We needed to unwind. I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no! And now the times are changin'. Look at everything that's come and gone. Sometimes when I play that old six-string, I think about ya wonder what went wrong. Standin' on your mama's porch, You told me it would last forever. Oh the way you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never. Those were the best days of my life... Back in the summer of '69 Kids Wanna Rock Turned on the radio, Sounded like a disco. Must'a turned the dial for a couple of miles, But I couldn't find no rock 'n roll. This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off. It's Only Love (with Tina Turner) When the feelin' is ended, There ain't no use pretendin'. Don't ya worry - it's only love. When your world has been shattered, Ain't nothin' else matters. It ain't over - it's only love. And that's all - yeah! When your heart has been broken, Hard words have been spoken. It ain't easy - but it's only love. And if your life ain't worth livin', And you're ready to give in. Just remember - that it's only love. You can live without the aggravation. Ya gotta wanna win - you gotta wanna win. You keep lookin' back in desperation, Over and over and over again. When your world is shattered, Ain't nothin' else matters. It ain't over - it's only love. If your life ain't worth livin', And you're ready to give in. Just remember - that it's only love. Yeah - that's all. Long Gone The telephone's bin ringin' - ringin' off the wall. It's your Las Vegas lawyer - another long distance call. He says you get the house and the car, And I get the clothes I got on. Now she's gone. Long, long, long, long gone. Now I'm a happy boy. She's long, long, long, long gone. Operator get me Manhatten - get my baby on the line. Sooner or later she's gotta realize, That all my feelin's were for real. But maybe she was leadin' me on... Now she's gone. Long, long, long, long gone. Now I'm a happy boy. She's long, long, long, long gone. She took the frigidaire, She got my favorite chair. You could say she got the best of me. It's like a legal crime, But in a matter of time, She'll be back for the rest of me. Yeah! Now she's gone. Long, long, long, long gone. Now I'm a happy boy. She's long, long, long, long gone. Ain't Gonna Cry Well I hardly knew ya baby, And you were comin' on. Mama told me there'd be days like these. I shoulda known better maybe. Woulda seen right through ya. I needed you like a disease. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're a mystery. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're history - history. You said you'd wait forever, But I know your type. The lights are on but no-one's home. I changed my number maybe, You better change your mind, 'Cause I'd rather spend the night alone. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're a mystery. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're history - history. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're a misery. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're history. I ain't your kinda guy, So forget about me. 'Cause I ain't too shy to say what I'm thinkin' - hit it! I got reckless baby. Put you in your place. Next time maybe re-arrange your face. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're a mystery. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're history - history. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're a misery. I ain't gonna cry over you, You're history. |
