Strutter '78

Words and Music by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons



I Know a thing or two about her.
I know she'll only make you cry.
She'll let you walk the streets beside her,
but,when she wants she'll pass you by.

Ev'rybody says she's looking good
and the lady knows it's understood.

Strutter! Strutter! Strutter!

She wears her satins like a lady.
She gets her way just like a child.
You take her home and she says:"Maybe,baby.".
She takes you down and drives you wild.

Ev'rybody says she's looking good
and the lady knows it's understood.

Strutter!

Strutter! Mama, that girl will just drive you wild.

with her love and her devotion.
And she'll thrill you and she'll chill you
but you're headed for commotion.
And you'll need her so you'll feed her
with your endless dedication.
And the quicker you get sicker,
she'll remove your medication.

Get the Firehouse! An' the flames keep getting higher.

She's like bad weather but,it seems so good.
You never leave her but,you know you should.

All dressed in Satins and lace.

There's just so much we could do.
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
before the ev'ning is through."

I Want You

Words and Music by Paul Stanley



In the morning I raise my head and I'm thinking of days gone by;
and the thing I want out of life is...

I Want You (I Want You)
I Want You (I Want You)

You can run. You can hide but you'll never get away.
You can lie and deny but, you know you're gonna pay.

Never loved; never thought you could.
Treat you right, girl, you know I would.
You could fight, but, tonight, there's nothin' you can do.

I Want You (I Want You) Baby,baby,babe...
I Want You (I Want You)

You can walk in a haze. You can travel 'til you die.
You can live in a dream and your life will pass you by.

Ev'ry day that you hesitate;
never changin' the hands of fate.
You can fight but, tonight, there's nothin' you can do.

I Want You (I Want You) Baby,baby,babe...
I Want You (I Want You)

Detroit Rock City

Words And Music by Paul Stanley and Bob Ezrin



I feel uptight on a Saturday night.
Nine O'Clock and the radio's the only light.
I hear my song and it pulls me through.
Comes on strong; tells me what I got to do. I got to:

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get down! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.

Ya gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City.

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get down! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.

Getting late. I just can't wait.
Ten O'Clock and I know I gotta hit the road.
First I drink, then I smoke.
Start the car and I try to make the midnight show.

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get down! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.

INSTRUMENTAL


Movin' fast doin' ninety-five.
I hit top speed but, I'm still movin' much too slow.

I hear my song playin' on the radio. It goes!:

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get down! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.

INSTRUMENTAL


Twelve O'Clock. I gotta rock.
There's a truck ahead; lights are starin' at my eyes.
Whoa,my GOD! No time to turn.

Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna move their feet.
Get up! Ev'rybody's gonna leave their seat.
