Ooh, got to choose, who's your baby

pace
Oh yeah, but I ain't gonna run no race
Baby, you've got to tell me yes or no
Alright, alright, come on and tell me
Tell me if you're gonna go, come on
Ooh, got to choose, who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose, who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose, who's your baby
Ooh, got to choose, got to choose
Who's your baby, who's your baby
Who's your baby, who's your baby

Parasite lady, parasite eyes
Parasite lady, no need to cry

I need her and I hope she'll understand
Repeat Chorus
Chorus
'Cause I know I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
Little lady, can't you see
You're so young and so much different than I
I'm 93, you're sixteen
Can't you see I'm goin' blind
Chorus Repeats Twice
You're much younger, can't you see
There is nothing more for you and I
I'm 93, you're sixteen
And I think I'm goin' blind
Yes, I think I'm goin' blind
And I know how it's to be, yeah
She looked good, she looked hotter than hell
All dressed in satins and lace
I looked at her and it was just too clear
I had to get on the case
I said "Lady, oh lady, can I take you home
There's just so much we could do
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
Before the evening is through"
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
Burn you like the midday sun, ow
I asked her why she couldn't make up her mind
She said "You don't understand
I'd love to go, but there's something you should know"
She showed me her wedding band
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun, yeah
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun, ow
Baby gets tired, everybody knows
Your mother tells you, baby has to show, yeah, yeah
Let me go
Chorus
'Cause baby's got the feelin'
Baby wants a show
Baby won't you tell me
Baby, rock 'n' roll, yeah, yeah
I never knew I needed a baby like you
I never knew I needed you like I do, yeah, yeah
Let me go
Repeat Chorus
Ooh
You try so hard to please, you get me hard you know
Baby, won't you squeeze, let me go, let me go
Let me go
Repeat Chorus
Whoo
You've got a lot to say
Every night and every sunny day
It's the same thing you've been sayin' to me
Every day
You say it's within your heart
You keep repeatin' that we'll never part
I'm so finally glad to hear you stop
For a day
Chorus
You just keep talkin' louder
Complain to your mother and father
One of these days you'll push me all the way
And you wear it 'cause it fits you well
Baby, baby, you're not hard to sell
I'll tell you what you want to hear
For a day
So if you think you need advice
Just come to me, don't compromise
Baby, baby, you're hypnotized
Every day
And you just keep talkin' louder
Complain to your mother and father
One of these days you'll push me all the way
Yes, you just keep talkin' louder
Complain to your mother and father
One of these days you'll push me all the way
Repeat Twice
Chorus Repeats Out
You don't really know, you don't really know
You don't really know, what to do
Ooh, and I'm standin' here not quite away, yeah, yeah
And I'm tryin' baby, tryin' not to stare
Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here, yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here, watchin' you, ooh

Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here, yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here, watchin' us
Chorus
You know what I want you to do
So baby, won't you let me on through, yeah
Mainline, baby won't you give it to me, one time
Mainline, baby won't you give it to me, one time
I know you could use me, so please don't refuse me
Oh love me
You've got to start givin' and baby, stop livin'
Above me
You know what I want you to do
So baby, won't you let me on through, ooh, yeah
Mainline, baby won't you give it to me, one time
Mainline, baby won't you give it to me, one time
Mainline, baby won't you give it to me, one time
Mainline, baby won't you give it to me, one time
You know that it's easy, so come on and please me
I want you
I'm needin' some lovin', I'm hot like an oven
It's so true
Repeat Chorus
Mainline, baby won't you give it to me, one time
Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world, seems to say
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that'll be all
And then I hop a plane
It's true, I'm not sure if you knew
I'm comin' home to you
Repeats Twice
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home, baby
Chorus
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Well, it's a strange place, that you've been livin' in
And it's a strange line, you've been deliverin'
I think I like it, but I'm not really sure
Don't wanna fight it, just wanna feel some more
Chorus Repeats Twice
Recorded during band's first trek to the West Coast. Two songs originally written for the first album "Let Me Go, Rock 'N' Roll" and 1973 demo "Watchin' You". Most memorable photo shoot of any KISS album, in which everyone (except Gene Simmons) was drunk, including models and photographer assistants. Paul Stanley gave the song "Mainline" to Peter Criss because he was threatening of leaving the band if he didn't sang lead on at least on song on the album. He ended up singing two songs ("Strange Ways").
