Voyeur
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Duane Hitchings
When voices through the thin walls
Speak of aberrant behavior
Amd the videos
Her only saviour
She turns it on when they're all gone
The she turns and slips her high heels on
Shadows fill the room
And she starts movin'
Voyeur voyeur are ya' hot tonight
Dance dance dance
Till it makes ya' feel good
Voyeur voyeur who ya' got tonight
Where love is still alive
It's just locked up inside
Lingerie and loveliness
Still lookin' for a strange and sweet caress
Her love life's hot
But her life's a mess
Says she's got no minor vices
And she makes no excuses
And she concedes
That she's the one she pleases
Voyeur voyeur are ya' hot tonight
Dance dance dance
Till it makes ya' feel good
Voyeur voyeur who ya' got tonight
Where love is still alive
It's just locked up inside
Voyeur voyeur are ya' hot tonight
Dance dance dance
Till it makes ya' feel good
Voyeur voyeur who ya' got tonight
Where love is still alive
It's just locked up inside

Looker
(Barry DeVorzon/Michael Towers)
A pretty face reflected in a mirror
So perfect in every way
With every move
The picture's getting clearer
She's got it all
She's got it made
But when she smiles
Is she really smilin'
She's the only one who really knows
Emerald eyes so cool
And so inviting--hide the side
She never shows
She's a looker
That's what they say
She's got it all
She's got it made
She's a looker
With a beautiful face
Always on display
The magazines always show her smilin'
So perfect in every way
But in the night
I hear a young girl cryin'
She's got it all
She's got it made
She's a looker
That's what they say
She's got it all
She's got it made
She's a looker
With a beautiful face
Always on display
See the face reflected in a mirror
With every move the picture's getting clearer
She walks into a room
People stop and stare
But she just looks away
As if she didn't care
She's a looker
That's what they say
She's got it all
She's got it made
She's a looker
With a beautiful face
Always on display

Say You Don't Know Me
(Kim Carnes)
When I pass you on the street
And I wanna yell come back
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I'm standin' next to ya'
In a crowded room
And I wanna yell come back
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me
When I call your name out loud in a dream
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I look you in the eye
Cause eyes never lie
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me
When I talk too much about you
And they look for my reaction
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I try too hard to hide it
I look quick for some distraction
Cause I can't let it show on me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me
Say you don't know me
--------------------------------------------------------
Does It Make You Remember
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
I've heard talk goin's round about you
They say you've taken up with somebody new
And they say you're still crazy
But I'm still crazy about you
And do you remember
The heart abused of the heart unused
When it's all said and done
I know what I'd choose
So why did you run to her
Is she just an excuse
To help you remember
Make you forget
Does it just bring a tear to your eye
With the pain and the pleasure
Do you ever regret
When you see how love passed you by
Does it make you remember
Does it make you remember
I saw your car from my window last night
You were drivin' real slow
And I hid from your lights
Was it bringing you back
I was hopin' it might
Make you remember
Make you forget
Does it just bring a tear to your eye
With the pain and the pleasure
Do you ever regret
When you see how love passed you by
I've heard talk goin's round about you
They say you've taken up with somebody new
And they say you're still crazy
But I'm still crazy about you
Does it make you remember
Make you forget
Does it just bring a tear to your eye
With the pain and the pleasure
Do you ever regret
When you see how love passed you by
Does it make you remember
Does it make you remember
Someone is waiting
Waiting for you
Someone is waiting for you

Breakin' Away From Sanity
(Kim Carnes/Craig Krampf)
Nearly every nite I stay awake
And I don't understand it myself
Livin' on the edge--it's almost real
You can't depend on me
I'm breakin' away from sanity
Showin' the ghost inside of me
I'm running away
From you and me
Breakin' away from sanity
Breakin' away from sanity
I talk to myself when you're not there
Oh if you could read my mind
I'm chained to nothin'
But it's all chained to me
You can't depend on me
I'm breakin' away from sanity
Showin' the ghost inside of me
I'm running away
From you and me
Breakin' away from sanity
Breakin' away from sanity
Nearly every night I stay away
And I don't understand it myself
----------------------------------------------------
Undertow
(Kim Carnes/Duane Hitchings)
Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Can anybody hear me
Does anybody know
Know the way to break out of the undertow
When you need to hear your heartbeat
Just to know that you're alive
When someone's crying help me
You can see it in their eyes
Circumstance is deadly
Too afraid to know
The moment that we wake up
Caught in the undertow
Has anybody seen her
We've searched the city high and low
We've even heard her calling
From a place that no one knows
Listen you can hear her calling
I will never let you go
You're caught in the undertow
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me

Merc Man
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Duane Hitchings/Craig Krampf)
Larry got a job as a soda jerk
Worked five days bought a 55 merc
He raised it in the front
He lowered in the back
Now all the girls just call him Mercury Jack
He's the Merc man how do you do
Merc man that's who
Merc man he likes to cruise around
Merc man he's got his coolness down
Saturday night Larry's in the valley dancin'
He looks across the room
And spots some black stretch
Pants and she got
Legs tha go clear up to the rafters
A pair of nocturnal fantasy hips
He knew right away what
He was after
When she looked his way and moistened her lips
He said I'm the Merc man how do you do
Merc man that's who
Merc man he likes to cruise around
Merc man he's got his coolness down
Larry's pulse quickened
As she crossed the floor
He backed up slowly
And showed her to the door
She yes with her xray eyes
She walked up to him
And he just sighed
I'm the Merc man how do you do
Merc man that's who
Merc man he likes to cruise around
Merc man he's got his coolness down

The Arrangement
(Dennis Polen)
He drives her all day long
To fancy bars and restaurants
She acts like nothing's wrong
She satisfies his needs and wants
He will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
She believes in gold
And he believes he's lost his soul
She knows she's getting old
She's lost her vision and her goals
She hires gentlemen
For pleasure and for company
He wants her to himself
His love is blind and she can't see
But he will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
He wants a single lover
She wants a couple more
He'd like to change her life but
She does not know what for
He feels it's time to leave her
She knows she broke his heart
She kind of fell in love and
He kind of fell apart
But he will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement

The Thrill Of The Grill
(Kim Carnes)
Works real hard in an all night cafe
Says she loves her job
Wouldn't have it any other way
Then he walks in wearin' cheap cologne
She said I'll take off early
If you'll take me home
Come on honey say you will
Jump on into my Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill
His hair was slick but he was slicker
His touch was radioactive
And it made her shiver
When he emptied his pockets
They were filled with champagne
He held out his hand
As he called out her name
Come on honey say you will
Jump on into my Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill
Sideways--oh my God I'm sideways
Half-crazed--dizzy dazed and waylayed
The boss said Phillis have you gone mad
You're the best short order
That I ever had
Don't throw it all away
On a one night fling
Don't be a fool for a foolish thing
So she tore off her apron
Threw down the pan
She said buzz it boss
You just don't understand
I've waited all my life
To feel the thrill
To be carried away
By the thrill of the grill
So come on honey yes I will
I'll jump on into your Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill

Take It On The Chin Baby
(Kim Carnes)
You're lookin' right you're walkin' tight
You think everybody wants you
Cause you can do it all night
Don't think you heard me the first time
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Is is a shock to ya
That I'm not standin' in line
So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
If you're tough enough
Oh you magnetized me
You really paralyzed me
Got me so crazy that I couldn't see
What kinda guy you were
But when I caught you in my car
You were huggin' and kissin' her
I sad boy you've gone too far
You've really gone too far
So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
If you're tough enough
If you're rough enough
I can be a fool all by myself
I can get along without your help
I can whisper dirty words with someone else
Better than you do
Better than you do
I can use the phone without your dime
I can be alone and dance all night
Don't worry 'bout me
Cause I'll be alright
So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
If you're tough enough |
