I'M A LEGEND TONIGHT (Adam Mitchell/Paul Stanley)

I've been working at my job, slaving like a dog all day
And I've been thinking 'bout you, girl, and watching the minutes slip away
Yeah, and I know there's someone inside me that nobody sees
And I know in the darkness you're gonna be reaching for me

I'm a legend tonight, gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light, I'm a legend tonight
I'm a legend tonight (legend), gonna make you feel right (legend)
When you reach for the light (legend), I'm a legend tonight

You know they try to slow me, sometimes I think I'm gonna stop
But I gotta keep on going, believing in five o' clock, yeah
And on the edge of the darkness we'll be living in another world
And I know that a part of you's gonna be part of me, girl

I'm a legend tonight (legend), gonna make you feel right (legend)
When you reach for the light (legend), I'm a legend tonight (legend)
I'm a legend tonight (legend), gonna make you feel right (legend)
When you reach for the light (legend), I'm a legend tonight (legend)
Look at me

I don't know what happens when the race is run
I don't know what tells me if I've lost or won
But I know that I'll make it through the day alright
And girl, you're gonna find out

I'm a legend tonight (legend), gonna make you feel right (legend)
When you reach for the light (legend), I'm a legend tonight (legend)
Repeats Out


DOWN ON YOUR KNEES (Paul Stanley/Mikel Japp/Bryan Adams)

Alright, ooh yeah

Are you ready to rock, I'm talking 'bout satisfaction
So let's cut the talk, yeah, and get on with the action
Better make up your mind, girl, 'cause it's now or never
It's getting down to the night, yeah, and I ain't waiting forever

Chorus
She's alright, 'cause she's all I got tonight
She's alright, and she's eager to please
Down on your knees, this is love in the first degree
Down on your knees, yeah tonight the lovin's on me

Are you ready to rock, babe, she saw me coming for miles
So let me see what you got, 'cause darling, you'll be driving me wild
Better make up your mind, girl, 'cause it's now or never
It's getting down to the night, girl, and I ain't waiting forever
I ain't waiting, girl

Repeat Chorus
Get down

Now that you got me real worked up, what you gonna do with me
Now that you got me really hot, I'm easy to please

Down on your knees, it's this love in the first degree
Down on your knees, yeah tonight the lovin's on me
Down on your knees, this is love in the first degree
Down on your knees, yeah tonight the lovin's on me
I'm down on my knees, this is love in the first degree
I'm down on my knees, yeah tonight the lovin's on me
Down on my knees, this is love in the first degree
To Fade


NOWHERE TO RUN (Paul Stanley/Adam Mitchell)

Don't know what's been going on in your head, no
When you knew that his love was through, you closed your eyes instead
I was there with a shoulder to lean on, it's not gonna happen twice
If you go I just want you to know it's alright

Chorus
Nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
Nowhere to hide (nowhere to hide)
Nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
Nowhere to hide (nowhere to hide)

Did you think it would open up in the night, yeah
Just pretend I'm only a friend and disappear from sight
One day you're gonna be lonely, wishing I was by your side
And one day you'll think of me only, but girl, you gotta take the ride
Well too bad, now that the damage is done

Repeat Chorus

Nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
Nowhere to hide (nowhere to hide)
Nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
Nowhere to hide (no)

Little girl, gonna make your bed in the night, yeah
Now you say you're goin' away, but I will keep your heart
And you will cry when you realize you were wrong
Run on, run on, ow

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, no

Nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
Nowhere to hide (nowhere to hide)
Nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
Nowhere to hide (no)

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Repeats Out


PARTNERS IN CRIME (Paul Stanley/Adam Mitchell)

Alright

I know your wheels are turning, got your fire burnin'
I know your heart's as cold as stone
You're covered in abuses, drippin' with excuses
I know you got a lover at home

But you'll come here to me, mmm, time after time
You'll go down on your knees, yeah girl I can read your mind

Because we're partners in crime, partners in crime

Your goin' empty handed, smiling like a bandit
Knocking on my window each night
You're sweeter than a beauty queen, darker than a limousine
Need me 'cause I make you feel right

Yeah, when it's sink or it's swim and the temperature flies
You get your body so close and lay it all on the line

Because we're partners in crime, mmm, partners in crime
Because we're partners in crime, ooh yeah

Mmm, when it's sink or swim and the temperature flies
You get your body so close and lay it all on the line

Because we're partners in crime, partners in crime
Ooh yeah, because we're partners in crime
Because we're partners in crime, partners in crime
Partners in crime, let's go, ha
