ROOM SERVICE (Paul Stanley)

I'm feelin' low, no place to go
And I'm a-thinking that I'm gonna scream
Because a hotel all alone is not a
Rock and roll star's dream

But just when I'm about to shut the light and go to bed
A lady calls and asks if I'm too tired
Or if I'm just to dead for

Chorus
Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you please
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no

My plane's delayed and I'm afraid
They're gonna keep me waiting here till nine
Then a stewardess in a tight blue dress says
"I got the time"

But just as I'm about to take my coat and get my fly
She says "Oh please", she's on her knees
And one more time before I leave I get some

Repeat Chorus
No

In my home town, I'm hangin' 'round
With all the ladies treatin' me real good
A sweet sixteen lookin' hot and mean says
"I wish you would"

But just as I'm about to tell her "Yes, I think I can"
I see her dad, he's getting mad
All the times he knows that I'm in need of

Chorus Repeats Twice

I can't say no

Room service, baby I could use a meal
Room service, you do what you feel
Room service, you take the pleasure with the pain
I can't say no
To Fade


TWO TIMER (Gene Simmons)

She thinks she's high fashion
She thinks she looks divine
And that's what I keep tellin' her
I tell her all the time

And she tells me she likes fast cars
She says she likes mine the best
And just because of that, baby
You think she'd forget the rest, no, no, no

Chorus
Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
'Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me

Two timer, my baby is a two timer
My baby's a two timer, my baby's a two timer
My baby, she's a-two timing me, timer
Two timer

Repeat Chorus

Two timer, two timer
My baby's a two timer, my baby's a two timer
My baby, she's a-two timing me, two timer
My baby is a two timer
She's nothin' but a two timer
It's the truth baby, you're a two timer
My baby is a two timer, my baby is a two timer
To Fade


LADIES IN WAITING (Gene Simmons)

So you been to the market
And the meat looks good tonight
And the ladies in waiting
Will show you what it's all about

Their selection is inviting
They sure look hot tonight
And the ladies in waiting
Will show you what it's all about

Chorus
And so you move on down the line
All the ladies are lookin' fine, so fine
Ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting

So you move on down the line
All the ladies are lookin' fine

Their selection is inviting
They sure look hot tonight
And the ladies in waiting
Will show you what it's all about

Repeat Chorus

Ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting
Repeats Out


GETAWAY (Ace Frehley)

I've been tryin' to get away, to get away
To leave this old town
I've been tryin' to see my way, to see my way
So I won't be found

Many times I've felt alone, I've felt alone
But that's all behind
One thing I know, I know
One thing is that

Chorus
I know I have to go, got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away, don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by some way

Some people they tell me, they tell me
I've been here to long
It don't compel me, they tell me
I just don't belong

Sometimes I wonder, I wonder
What's right or what's wrong
One thing I know, I know
One thing is that

Repeat Chorus

I gotta get away
Get away, get away, get away
I gotta get away
Yeah, baby get away, gotta, gotta, gotta get away
Whoo, you've gotta get away


ROCK BOTTOM (Paul Stanley/Ace Frehley)

I can't wait a day
I don't care what you say
Oh yeah, you got to pay
When you hit rock bottom
And you're there to stay

Sometimes late at night
I want to hold you tight
Oh no, you got to pay
Girl, you hit rock bottom
And you're there to stay

Rock bottom
Girl, you know you oughta treat me good
Rock bottom
Oh, you never treat me like you should

Hard times got me down
Good times ain't around
Now I got the mind to say
Girl, you hit rock bottom
And you're there to stay

Rock bottom
Girl, you know you oughta treat me good
Rock bottom
Yeah, you never treat me like you should
Repeats Twice

Rock bottom
Rock bottom, ow


C'MON AND LOVE ME (Paul Stanley)

She's a dancer, a romancer
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer
She saw my picture in a music magazine

When she met me, said she'd get me
Touched the hips and told me that she'd let me
I took her hand, baby this is what I said

I said baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me

I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're lookin' every inch a lady
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good

You we're distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hand

So, baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me, c'mon and love me
C'mon and love me, c'mon and love me

Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please

C'mon and love me, c'mon and love me
Repeats Out


ANYTHING FOR MY BABY (Paul Stanley)

Anything for my baby
I would steal, anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal, anything for my baby, oh

I'm in love and it feels so good
'Cause I need her, don't mistreat her
And I tell her so

When I saw her and she looked my way
I was lonely, she's my only
And I've gotta say that

Chorus
I would steal, anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal, anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby

In the morning when I raised my head
She's beside me, she can hide me
When I'm feelin' low

If I'm thinkin' everything's all wrong
My girl shakes me, she awakes me
Then I really know that

Repeat Chorus

Don't you know that
I would steal, anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal, anything for my baby
I would crawl or kneel, anything for my baby, I'd do anything

I would give, anything for my baby
I would die or live, anything for my baby
I would t-t-t-t-take or give, anything for my baby
Yes, I would take, anything for my baby
I would built or break, anything for my baby
I would rob or take, anything for my baby
I would do, anything for my baby
I would steal, anything for my baby
To Fade


SHE (Gene Simmons/Stephen Coronel)

She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home

Chorus
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good

Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within' her
As she takes off her clothes

Repeat Chorus

Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within' her
As she takes off her clothes

Repeat Chorus


LOVE HER ALL I CAN (Paul Stanley)

I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my times dreamin' about her

Love her all I can and try an understand
The things that make her glad, the things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks back, she's never ever sad

She's so easy to please and it doesn't take money, no, no, oh
We can have a good time when the skies aren't sunny

Ah, I love her all I can and try an understand
The things that make her glad, the things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks back, she's never ever sad

Whoo

I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my times dreamin' about her

I love her all I can and try an understand
The things that make her glad, the things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks back, she's never ever sad


ROCK AND ROLL ALL NITE (Gene Simmons/Paul Stanley)

You show us everything you've got
You keep on dancin' and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy

You say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'

Chorus
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day

You keep on sayin' you'll be mine for a while
You're lookin' fancy and I like your style
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy

You show us everything you've got
Baby, baby that's quite a lot
And you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'

Chorus Repeats Out
