Greatest Kiss Album

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 feel so good. I'm so alive.
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.
I got ta laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die. Why!!!

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



Hard Luck Woman

Words and Music by Paul Stanley



If never I met you, I'd never have seen you cry.
If not for our first "Hello", we'd never have to say good-bye.

I keep tellin' you, Hard Luck Woman, you ain't a Hard Luck Woman.

Too proud to be a queen.
Rags. I really love you. I can't forget about you.
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman, baby, 'til you find your man.

Before I go...Let me kiss you and wipe a tear from your eyes.
I don't want to hurt you, girl, you know I could never lie.

I keep tellin' you, Hard Luck Woman, you ain't a Hard Luck Woman.
You'll be a Hard Luck Woman, baby, 'til you find your man.

Sure Know Something

Words and Music by Paul Stanley and Vinny Poncia



I've been up and down. I've been all around.
I was mystified almost terrified.
But, late at night, I still hear you call my name.

I've been on my own. I've been all alone.
I was hypnotized almost paralyzed.
But, late at night, I still want you just the same.

I've been a gambler but, I'm nobody's fool
An' I Sure Know Something. ...Sure Know Something.
You showed me things they never taught me in school
An' I Sure Know Something. ...Sure Know Something.
No one can make me feel the way that you do
An' I Sure Know Something. Uh-huh!

I Was seventeen. You were just a dream.
I was mesmerized. I felt scared inside.
You broke my heart an' I still can feel the pain.

I've been counted out. I've had fear and doubt.
I've been staryy-eyed, never satisfied
'cause, late at night, I still need you just the same.

I've been a gambler but, I'm nobody's fool
An' I Sure Know Something. ...Sure Know Something.
You showed me things they never taught me in school
An' I Sure Know Something. ...Sure Know Something.
No one can make me feel the way that you do
An' I Sure Know Something. Uh-huh!

Two Sides Of The Coin

Words and Music by Words and Music by Ace Frehley



I met some ladies and, then, some girls
but, they don't tell ya, they just want a whirl.
It's kinda funny; a little sad
'cause they're not happy. They're just kinda glad
to be with me, for just the night
an' maybe even turn out the lights uh-turn out the lights.

I need time ta ease my mind; make up my mind which one ta find...

Two Sides Of The Coin to choose from.
Two Sides Of The Coin, they are mine.
Two Sides Of The Coin-I'm gettin' weary.
Which one should I choose? I need time!

I'd like to say a word or two
about the women we all seem to know.
They're all around us. They're ev'rywhere.
You meet them this place an' then, meet them there.
Then, you decide to pick a mate
because you're tired of all those dates; of all those dates.

I need time to ease my mind; make up my mind which one ta find.

Two Sides Of The Coin to choose from.
Two Sides Of The Coin, they are mine.
Two Sides Of The Coin-I'm gettin' weary.
Which one should I choose? I need time!
