Bloody Reunion

Out streetwalking on a Saturday night
Looking for the man
Staying out of sight
Trying to find something
To ease my mind
Traffic lights a-blinkin'
And I'm right on time
Come around a corner
On 4th and Main
Joint was a -jumpin'
People going insane
Jukebox a-flappin'
On through the night
I think all the boys
Are starting up a bloody reunion.

Chorus:

A bloody reunion
Well, it's a bloody reunion
Tearing up the town
Smoking on a Saturday night
Well, it's a bloody reunion
What a bloody reunion
All hell's a-poppin
Rockin' 'till the morning light.

Here comes Mary
In a long red dress
Looking hot 'n' sasy
Just like all the rest
Leaning on a lamp post
And she's dressed to kill
Lord she wants to make it
And I think I will
Coming on strong
And giving me the eye
Ain't no way
I'm gonna pass it by
Tonight we're gonna do it
Gonna get it right
Me and Miss Mary
Gonna start another
Bloody reunion.

Chorus:

A bloody reunion
Well, it's a bloody reunion
Tearing up the town
Smoking on a Saturday night
Well, it's a bloody reunion
What a bloody reunion
All hell's a-poppin
Rockin' 'till the morning light.

Chorus:

A bloody reunion
Well, it's a bloody reunion
Tearing up the town
Smoking on a Saturday night
Well, it's a bloody reunion
What a bloody reunion
All hell's a-poppin
Rockin' 'till the morning light.

Lord what a party
Everybody feelin' right
Drinking and a-smoking
Everybody's high as a kite.

Respect Me in the Morning

Well, I remember when I met you baby
Back a long time ago
Well, you were telling me you loved me
I bet you just didn't know
Well, now you say
That you've got news for me
Well, I know it's the hurting kind
Well, I know you're gonna tell me
Baby, you can never see
And you keep on screaming at me
As I'm going out the door

Chorus:

Respect me in the morning
Don't love you no more
Well, I've been coming here
Loving you baby
Seven long nights a week
But every time I leave you
You're right back out on the streets
And you been saying you've been true to me
My friends they say
You're telling me lies
And if you don't straighten up your act
I think I'm gonna blacken your eyes
And you keep screaming at me
As I'm walking out the door.

Well, I remember whe I met you baby
Back a long time ago
You were telling me you loved me
How much you just didn't know
But now you say you got news for me
Well, I know it's a hurting kind
I know you're gonna tell me
Baby, you can never be mine
And you keep on screaming at me
As I'm going out the door

Chorus:

Oh, respect me in your morning
I don't want 'round it no more
And you keep on screaming at me
As I'm going out the door
Respect me in the morning
Or don't come 'round here no more.

Long Tall Sally

I saw Uncle John
With a long tall Sally
He saw Aunt Mary coming
And he jumped back in the alley

Chorus:

Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having me some fun tonight.

Long tall Sally
She's built for speed
She's got everything
That Uncle John needs

Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having me some fun tonight

You know Uncle John
His age is 65
A daily dose of loving
Keeps that poor man alive.

Chorus:

We're gonna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Everything's alright
We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun
Have some fun tonight.

Well I saw Uncle John
With a long tall Sally
Saw Aunt Mary coming
And he ducked into the alley
Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having some time tonight.

Long tall Sally
She's built for speed
She's got everything
That Uncle John needs.

Chorus:

Loss of Control

Well, it happened up in Detroit
It was my kind of town
We heard the audience screaming
When they brought the houselights down
Blind anticipation was felt from afar
The kids were going crazy
When we cranked up our guitars.

Chorus:

It was a loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Filthy rock and roll.

Well, everywhere we go now
It happens night and day
All hell seems to break loose
When the boys stay to play
If you lack the courage
There's no room for you here
The boys have called it open season
On your eyes and ears.

Chorus:

Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Sleazy rock and roll.

We're right here in your city
We know it's our kind of town
We hear the audience screaming
So turn those houselights down
Blind anticipation we fel it from afar
There all going crazy
When we pick up our guitars
And we are.

Chorus:

Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Filty rock and roll.

Chorus:

Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Sleazy rock and roll.

All Mine

Let me tell you a story
A story you can understand
About a little girl
That had a whole world
Right in the palm of her hand

Now she was born
With a silver spoon
She eats off a silver plate
And when she's good
She's very, very good
But when she's bad
She's great.

Chorus:

And she's mine
All mine
Her heart belongs to me
She's mine
All mine
One hot piece of property.

You can find her
At the head of the table
And brother, she won't let you starve
You can feel the force
When you're the main course
The lady's getting ready to carve.

Well, you can put her on a pedestal
But you will never shoot her down
Ah, when you get that ride
On a Saturday night
She's the hotest game in town.

Chorus:

And she's mine
All mine
Her heart belongs to me
She's mine
All mine
One hot piece of property She's mine
All mine
And that's the way she wants it to be
She's mine
All mine
And we're keeping good company.

Let me tell you a story
A story you can understand
About a litttle girl
That had the whole world
Right in the palm of her hand
Now she was born with a silver spoon
She eats off a silver plate
And when she's good
She's very, very good
And when she's bad
She's great.

Chorus:

She's mine
All mine
One ot piece of property
She's mine
All mine
And that's the way she wants it to be
She's mine
All mine
And we're keeping good company.

Lady Luck

You can break a mirror
Light three on a match
Walk under a ladder
Kick a black cat
Try your luck in Vegas
Shoot nothing but craps
But I'll gamble on my lady
When my luck's running bad.

Chorus:

'Cause she's my lady luck
She must have come
From heaven above
Now she's my lady luck
My good luck charm
A winner at love.

Spin the wheel of fortune
Look for your pot of gold
Try to make the clock turn back
And never get old
Rolling 7's and 11's
'Till the dice grow cold
But I'll always be a winner
With the luck that I hold.

Chorus:

'Cause she's my lady luck
She must have come
From heaven above
Now she's my lady luck
My good luck charm
A winner at love.

Power Play

What you gona do
When you're feelin' blue
You think you're lookin'
At some river run dry
Well, it's nothing new
Still the same old dues
There ain't no reason for asking why.

Chorus:

'Cause it's a power play
Just like yesterday
There ain't no second-guessing now
Well, you had your way
So what can you say
One shot is all you're allowed.

There's a catch-22
Just waitin' on you
Try talkin' your way out of this
For all those lies
There behind your eyes
I'll know it's something
I'll never miss.

Chorus:

'Cause it's a power play
Did you know your way
Did you burn all your bridges behind
Is there another way back
To that good old track
Or are we just wasting our time.

Don't Mess Around

Woman. won't you tell me what you know
Something here I don't understand
I recall a solemn vow
Not very long ago
About a woman
Standing by her man.

Chorus:

Did you ever love me
Like a dream like I had hoped
Or did you only want
To quench your thirst
Was it just a race
To each the end of the rope
Baby can't you see
I got there first.

Little girl, don't wonder
If you've got the upper hand
There's nothing I don't already know
Now you've made crystal clear
That you don't give a damn
Now I think it's time for me to go.

Don't Leave Me Lonely

I woke up this morning
And my back door was open
I knew that you left me behind
You had been by my side
We had nothing to hide
But I didn't think
You'd change your mind.

Darling you know
When my feelings are showing
It's hard to keep my love in control
Don't leave me lonely
You know I want you only
You'll always have my love to hold
But everybody knows what I need
I need love.

Chorus:

Don't leave me lonely tonight
Stay home and make it right
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Stay at home and hold me tight.

So if you've got your doubts
Or you're feelin' down and out
Just pick up your telephone
I'll always be there
To show you that I care
I'll see that you're never alone.

Stay by my side
We've got nothing to hide
We know this love of ours is real
We'll never be lonely
If you just love me only
You'll always know just how I feel
Everybody knows just what we need
We need love.

Chorus:

Don't leave me lonely tonight
Stay home and make it right
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Stay at home and hold me tight.

I woke up this morning
And my back door was open
I knew that you left me behind
You had been by my side
We had nothing to hide
But I didn't think

Darling you know

It's hard to keep my love in control
Don't leave me lonely
You know I want you only
You'll always have my love to hold
But everybody knows what we need
We need love.

Chorus:

Don't leave me lonely tonight
Stay home and make it right
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Stay at home and hold me tight.

Dead Giveaway

I want to tell you
What happened to me
A love-struck fool
Too blind to see
The old kiss and tell
Broke her cleaver disguise
I should have known better
By the look in her eyes.

Chorus:

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'
I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken
The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken
It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.

Same old story
You've heard all along
Love is blind, still you try to hold on
Now she's gone, I'm lonely and blue
If you don't watch out
It'll happen to you.

Chorus:

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'
I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken
The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken
It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.

Same old story
You've heard all along
Love is blind, still you try to hold on
A case of mistaken identity
I was blind back then
But now I can see.

Chorus:

Dead giveaway, ain't no use in fakin'
I thought it was love, I guess I was mistaken
The sign on the wall said no prisoners taken
It's a dead giveaway, I feel my heart is breaking.
