Hot In The Shade Lyrics
Words and Music by Paul Stanley and Bob Halligan
All that style, all going to waste.
All that beauty but, you never show your face.
I'm gonna make my way to you,
knock down your door, and walk on through.
I'm impatient. Time's a-wastin'. Girl, if you give me an occasion,
I'm gonna Rise To It.
You know, I really can do it.
I'm gonna Rise...I'm gonna Rise...
I'm gonna Ri-i-ise To It
When you're lyin' next to me,
baby, I can guarantee:
I'm gonna Rise To It
I'll give you a fever. I'll give you chills.
Make you a believer. Ooh, baby, babe, I'm gonna break your will.
A little danger. A little fun.
We're gonna take 'em one by one.
Walk the wire of desire and, if you dare, to take it higher...
I'm gonna Rise To It.
You know, I really can do it.
I'm gonna Rise...I'm gonna Rise...
I'm gonna Ri-i-ise To It
When you're lyin' next to me,
baby, I can guarantee:
I'm gonna Rise To It
INSTRUMENTAL
Get up. Lights, camera, action.
it's gettin' time for the show.
Tonight, you're the main attraction
and, if you want a lover who can play the other role.
I'm gonna...I'm gonna...I'm gonna...
I'm gonna Rise To It.
You know, I really can do it.
I'm gonna Rise...I'm gonna Rise...
I'm gonna Ri-i-ise To It
When you're lyin' next to me,
baby, I can guarantee:
I'm gonna Rise To It
I'm gonna Rise To It.
You know, I really can do it.
I'm gonna Rise...I'm gonna Rise...
I'm gonna Ri-i-ise To It
When you're lyin' next to me,
baby, I can guarantee:
I'm gonna Rise To It

Spoken words will be in light blue
You pay your taxes. You pay your rent.
Until you haven't a cent.
It's the law of the jungle. If you got the hunger,
what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Just hold on to what you got. Hold on! Hold on!
Just live it to the last drop. You can't help it. You just can't stop.
Betrayed. Yeah, life's a bitch so, just don't feel.
Betrayed. No, you ain't the only one who's been Betrayed. Betrayed! Betrayed!
Stone cold and all alone
and you're wearin' ev'rything you own.
They bare your flesh and strip your soul
but, underneath, you've got a heart of gold.
Just hold on to what you got. Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
Betrayed. Yeah, you ain't satisfied. I know you feel
Betrayed. Well, you ain't crucified so, just get real. Betrayed. Betrayed. Betrayed.
You know they got your back against the wall. Nobody gives a fuck.
Only thing you can do is just hold on. That's right.
INSTRUMENTAL
All alone. Far from home and you're feelin' cold as stone.
Don't give up. Don't give in. Life's a bitch if you lose or win.
Betrayed. No, you ain't the only one who's been
Betrayed. Yeah, life's a bitch if you lose or win.
Betrayed. Betrayed.
Betrayed. No, you ain't the only one who's been
Betrayed. Yeah, life's a bitch if you lose or win.
Betrayed. Betrayed.
Betrayed. Yeah, life's a bitch so, just don't feel.
Betrayed. No, you ain't the only one who's been Betrayed. Betrayed! Betrayed!
Words and Music by Paul Stanley, Desmond Child, and Holly Knight
Johnny saw her riding on a street car named Desire, his fate was sealed.
She could see him coming like a hundred other liars, it was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town, Tito, he was king of the streets.
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown, Johnny better run, better run.
Better Hide Your Heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight.
When pride and love battle with desire,
better Hide Your Heart, 'cause you're playing with fire.
The ride was over but the story doesn't end, he took her heart.
She looked him in the eye and said they couldn't meet again.
You could see the trouble start.
The word went out that Rosa's messin' with someone, it was on the street.
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun. Johnny better run, better run.
Better Hide Your Heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight.
When pride and love battle with desire,
better Hide Your Heart, 'cause you're playing with fire.
INSTRUMENTAL
Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night, as time stood still.
They couldn't hear him coming 'til he had them both in sight.
You could feel a chill.
A shot rang out like thunder and the blood was on her hands, with nothing won.
When someone lies dying, lovers finally understand
Better Hide Your Heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight.
When pride and love battle with desire,
better Hide Your Heart, 'cause you're playing with fire.
Better Hide Your Heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight.
When pride and love battle with desire,
better Hide Your Heart, 'cause you're playing with fire.
Words and Music by Gene Simmons and Bruce Kulick
If I can survive, and if you can't deny it,
don't give me love, no, don't even try it.
Just give me your trust, and I'll tell you no lies.
This is the truth, and I don't know why.
Can't you hear your heart is beatin'? (Don't you hear it beatin'?)
Don't you feel that sweet sweet feelin'? (Can't you feel that feelin'?)
Anytime you need some lovin', yeah, I am...
I'm a Prisoner Of Love, and I can't break these chains.
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again.
If you can't believe all your alibis, I can tell by that look in your eyes,
when we make love, you play hard you bet, what you give is what you get.
Anytime I see you goin', (Anytime I see you gone)
everytime the feelin's growin', (This feelin's growin')
anytime I need your lovin'.
I'm a Prisoner Of Love, and I can't break these chains.
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again...That feelin' again!
INSTRUMENTAL
I know it's much too late, but I can't help this feelin', no I can't look away.
I'm a Prisoner Of Love, and I can't break these chains.
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again...That feelin' again!
I'm a Prisoner Of Love, and I can't break these chains.
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again...That feelin' again!

Would you want to know what I'm thinking about
Do you wonder do I wanna make you scream and shout - shout it out
Would you like to see what's in my brain
Does your curiosity make you insane - insane
Baby you're just wastin' precious time,
if you want to know what's on my mind
Read My Body, are the letters big enough
Read My Body, do you like the book of my love
Read My Body, turn the page, get to the good stuff, Read My Body
Would you like to go on a moonlight ride
Do you think you wanna show me what you're like inside
Would you like to touch, do you wanna know
How good it can get, how far it can go - ooh, let's go, let's go
Baby if you're lost between the lines,
open up your eyes and see the signs
Read My Body, are the letters big enough
Read My Body, do you like the book of my love
Read My Body, turn the page, get to the good stuff, Read My Body

I been up, down, and all around, tell you what I'm feelin'
I been hurt and I've found, been pushed around, it's how I got this feelin'
I never thought I could hurt so good, no no
I never thought I could lose myself
but, I just can't hide it. They never let you down easy. Now, listen!
Sometimes Love Is Like A Slap In The Face.
You been burned and still, it's the same old mistake.
If you want my opinion, I'll give it to you straight:
Love Is Like A Slap In The Face.
Singin': na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na
Love's got a hold on me. I can't believe it but, it's plain to see.
Turns me upside down and inside out; don't know why. It never fails to make you scream and shout.

I never thought I could hurt so good
but, I just can't hide it, guess I'm feelin' no pain. Now, listen!
Sometimes Love Is Like A Slap In The Face.

Sometimes love is like a ball and chain;
keeps you up at night. Why is it always the same?
If you wanna know the truth, it's something I can't explain
Yeah love is like a ball and chain.
Yeah na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
Yeah na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
Yeah na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na

I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside. I could lie to myself, but it's true.
There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over you.
I lived so long believin' all love is blind but, everything about you is tellin' me this time:
It's Forever This time I know and there's no doubt in my mind.
Forever Until my life is through, girl, I'll be lovin' you Forever.
I hear the echo of a promise I made:
"When you're strong, you can stand on your own."
But, those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line but, everything about you, is tellin' me this time:
It's Forever This time I know and there's no doubt in my mind.
Forever. Until my life is through, girl, I'll be lovin' you Forever.
INSTRUMENTAL
I see my future when I look in your eyes. It took your love to make my heart come alive.
'Cause, I lived my life believin' all love is blind but, everything about you, is tellin' me this time:
It's Forever This time I know and there's no doubt in my mind.
Forever. Until my life is through, girl, I'll be lovin' you Forever.
It's Forever This time I know and there's no doubt in my mind.
Forever. Until my life is through, girl, I'll be lovin' you Forever.

I ain't lookin' like nobody's fool, save it for somebody else.
And I ain't makin' any desperate move, 'till I'm satisfied myself.
I ain't waitin' for no invitation, I just wanna walk on through.
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said:
I wasn't born with a Silver Spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room.
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize.
'Cause what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a Silver Spoon?
In a city where the buildings rise, I was just another face.
But, mama told me when somebody dies, no one else can take your place.
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said:
I wasn't born with a Silver Spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room.
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize.
'Cause I've got something for a girl like you, with a Silver Spoon?
INSTRUMENTAL
I always knew I'd be somebody, I kept it in my head.
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said:
I wasn't born with a Silver Spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room.
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize.
'Cause I've got something for a girl like you, with a Silver Spoon?
I wasn't born with a Silver Spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room.
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize.

Spoken words will appear in light blue.
When I was seventeen, found out just what it means:
If you can get it free, it just ain't worth a damn.
When I heard the preacher say: "Don't throw your life away.",
Well, I got that message, and I wrote it on the wall.
Well, I don't want anybody tellin' me lies,
no, I don't want your diamond ring
'cause you ain't got my size.
I want money. Money, that's what I need.
I got Cadillac Dreams, please mister don'tcha take it from me.
Give me money. Money, more than I need,
I got Cadillac Dreams waitin' on me.
Cadillac Dreams. Cadillac Dreams.
When I had the young boy blues, I paid some young boy dues.
I learned the hard way, there's a heartbreak every day.
Stone cold reality came crashing down on me.
Well, life was hard on me, but I still don't give a damn.
When I was seventeen, I was an angry young man
but, I won't let just anybody tell me who I am.
I just want money. Money, that's all I need.
I got Cadillac Dreams, hey mister don'tcha take it from me.
Give me money. Money, more than I need, these Cadillac Dreams are waitin' on me.
I didn't have the time of day, 'til this dream was born.
You can't take that away, you can't take that away from me.
INSTRUMENTAL
Yeah! Now, Dig this:
When I was seventeen, there was this beauty queen,
checked in a one room suite, the back seat of my car.
When you want all the best things money can buy,
you gotta reach down inside of you, to reach up to the sky.
Yeah, I want money. Money, that's all I need.
I got Cadillac Dreams, hey mister you can't take it from me.
Yeah, I want money. Money, more than I need, these Cadillac Dreams are waitin' on me.
Money, money, yeah, just stash what I need.
Drivin' in my Chevy with my Cadillac Dreams.

She was just nineteen, but in here eyes she was old enough to know.
We were caught between two city streets, like a bad dream.
We could barely survive in the world outside, where the writin's on the wall.
Still she lets me know, we just can't let go, and she takes my heart away.
When she tells me: "I want it.", I go crazy, I need it.
When she touches, I feel it right there in her eyes.
I'm the King Of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy.
The King Of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me.
Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight an' I'm gonna be the only one
to be King Of Hearts.
Like a neon light, the shadows flash across my empty room.
We could leave tonight and save ourselves from a bad scene.
When we walk on by with our heads up high, all the faces turn away.
Yeah, it's in their eyes, and they realize, we can make our getaway.
When she tells me: "I want it.",I go crazy. I need it.
When she touches, I feel it. When she looks at me:
I'm the King Of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy.
The King Of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me.
Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight yeah, I'm gonna be the only one
to be King Of Hearts.

Where there's no blind justice, no way! No way!
Hey man, don't you understand? You can run but you can't hide.
There ain't no life after death, so save your breath. You're gonna be a rock 'n roll suicide.
Hey man, don't ya need a hand? I ain't no blessing in disguise.
Feel the agony, and the ecstacy, it's gonna burn right through ya.

You tell lies when you look at me; smile when you look away.
Spin a web any fool can see; put your candy on display.
It's a game of who needs who; who's on top me or you?
Pleasure and pain feel the same when the night is through.
Girl, you want me to cry; feel like I'm gonna die.
Girl, you want me to bleed. Feel the thrill of my need.
Girl, you want me to beg; wish to hell I was dead,
'cause You Love Me To Hate You. Yeah, You Love Me To Hate You.
Girl, You Love Me To Hate You, and the more that I hate you, I love you.
You're like a cat on a hot tin roof. I love it when you scratch and bite.
You got my heart in a hangman's noose. Pull the rope and make it tight.
Love's like a chain holdin' you to me. You're the lock, baby, I'm the key.
Don't wanna walk 'cause we're caught in a fantasy.
Girl, you want me to cry; feel like I'm gonna die.
Girl, you want me to bleed. Feel the thrill of my need.
Girl, you want me to beg; wish to hell I was dead,

I'd have to be a mindreader, baby, just to know what's goin' on.
You don't need no crystal ball. Sugar, can't you see my love is strong?
Don't you know my temperature is startin' to rise up
and it's draggin' me under your spell?
Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell.
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell.
Somewhere between pleasure and pain.
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry. Oh, I'm so hungry.
You don't have to see no furtune teller to see I just can't take no more.
You been such a heartbreaker, baby, you keep a lock on heaven's door.
Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
and standin' in the shadow of love?
Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell.
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell.
Somewhere between the truth and a lie.
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you, Oh, I can't hurt you.
INSTRUMENTAL
Don't need your lovin'. Don't want nothin'.
Don't need your sympathy. Don't need a friend.
I just need somethin' I can believe in; I can believe in.
Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
and standin' in the shadow of love?
I...I...I'm Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell.
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell.
Somewhere between pleasure and pain.
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry.
I'm Somewhere between love and hate.

Somewhere between the truth and a lie.
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you.
Somewhere between...
