  • Back on the Streets
  • Verse

    I've been lookin' for a direction to put me in touch,
    I'm a-searchin' high and low for my connection,
    am I asking too much?
    Way back in my mind, there's a voice that says I can
    find just what I'm looking for,

    Chorus

    Well I'm back, back on the streets again, yes
    I'm back, back where it all began.

    Verse

    And I need some technicolor high adventure, to stay on the move,
    Well the winner's circle I am meant for, no way I can lose.

    Bridge

    Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby, to let you know what life
    is all about.

    Chorus

    Yes, you've got to get back, back on the streets again,
    Well I'm back, back where it all began.

    Bridge

    It's an ever changing wild world baby
    but to stay on top you've got to believe,

    Chorus

    Yes, you've got to get back, back on the streets again,
    Well I'm back, back where it all began.
    Yes, you've got to get back, back on the streets again, yes
    Well I'm back, back where it all began.

  • Saturday Night
  • Verse

    Beautiful soul music, kids eye on the jukebox, chicks
    dressed to kill,
    Surrounded by the boys like bees on the honey,
    some do, some don't, some never will

    Chorus

    I just can't to wait, I just can't wait,
    Saturday Night, Saturday Night.

    Verse

    We're doing nothin', but hanging 'round,
    Now what you mean doing nothin', just diggin' sounds,
    We're doin' nothin', but hanging 'round,
    Her eyes were shining she needs a bit more light.

    Chorus

    I just can't wait, I just can't wait,
    Come a Saturday Night, Saturday Night.
    Saturday Night, etc.

    Verse

    Beautiful soul music kids eye on the jukebox,
    chicks umm
    dressed to kill,
    Surrounded by the boys, like bees on the honey,
    some do, some don't, some never will.

    Chorus

    I just can't wait, I just can't wait, oh I just can't wait for
    Saturday Night, Saturday Night.
    Beautiful soul music, kids they're standing 'round there waiting
    standing round there waiting for Saturday Night.

  • Closest Thing to Heaven
  • Verse

    I've been going 'round in circles, trying to make my life complete,
    Searching for that special woman, I was about to fall,
    admit defeat,
    But I waited just a bit longer, held on a bit stronger,
    now she's here, right on time, the closest thing to heaven,
    I'll ever find.

    Verse

    Now everybody's lookin' for an angel they can call their own,
    A little taste of paradise, nothing like you've ever known.
    I want to hold her just a little bit closer, so much love,
    I want to show her, cause she's here, she's one of a kind,
    and she's the closest thing to heaven I'll ever find.

    Chorus

    Closest thing to heaven I'll ever find,
    and when she looks at me I go out of my mind,
    Closest thing to heaven and she's one of a kind,
    she's the closest thing to heaven, oh baby.

    Bridge

    Yeah, I want to hold her just a little bit closer, so much love,
    I want to show her, cause she's here, she's one of a kind,
    and she's the closest thing to heaven, I'll ever find.

    Repeat Chorus

  • Silent Type
  • Verse

    First impression shy so insecure, wonder what's on her mind,
    Second glance my way, I'm not sure is she flashing me that,
    come on sign,
    The silent type will steal your soul,
    love you hot, leave you cold, take a young man and,
    make him old, but I love the silent type...

    Chorus

    Silent type, silent type, silent type,
    oh, I love the silent type.

    Verse

    I was captured instantly by a voice, just above a whisper,
    We sat, we talked for hours, convincing me, that I fall
    madly in love with her.
    Then the silent type stole my soul, she loved me hot, left me cold,
    took this young man, and made him old, but I love the silent type.

    Repeat Chorus

    Bridge

    Quietly, she makes her move, oh she knows what she wants to prove,
    She's so slick, she's so smooth, when she starts to hit the groove.

    Repeat Chorus

  • Reckless Boy
  • Verse

    Never was a choir boy, I'll never be a saint,
    Got a taste for the fast life enough to make you faint,
    Got myself a simple dream, that just fits my style,
    I'm looking for a better land, cause I'm a little wild, and...

    Chorus

    Reckless boy, high up on a ledge, sometimes I'm serious,
    I'm a reckless boy, living on the edge, but I'm not dangerous.

    Verse

    Never been the social type, well I never drink champagne,
    Well I love the pretty ladies, now that's quite insane.
    I've got another plan, I'll take it to the top,
    Put it into overdrive, and never let it stop this...

    Repeat Chorus

    Bridge

    Sometimes you gotta go,
    Straight to the top you know.
    Live it till the end.

    Repeat Chorus

  • Private Life
  • Verse

    Now everywhere you look, you see her face,
    Television, magazines, all over the place.
    With cover girl eyes and skin you love to touch,
    Living in the limelight, always in a rush.
    When the lights are out and the cameras are gone,
    Down comes the shades, she wants to be alone.

    Chorus
    You know that girl loves her private life.
    You know that girl loves her private life.

    Verse
    No one ever knows life behind the scene,
    Getting past the glamour, the sparkle and the sheen.
    Back into the shadows, is where she wants to be,
    Discretion is her answer, she needs her privacy.
    Looking in the mirror, off the makeup comes,
    Secretly slipping off, in the night she runs

    Chorus
    You know that girl loves her private life.
    You know that girl loves her private life.
    Cause she's a girl she has her pride, don't need no man to her inside.

    Chorus
    You know that girl loves her private life.
    You know that girl loves her private life.
    You know that girl loves her private life.
    You know that girl loves her private life.

  • Liar
  • Verse

    I won't ever leave ya, you want me to stay,
    Nothin' you can do that can turn me away,
    Hanging on anyway believing the things you say, being a fool.
    You've taken my life, so take my soul, that's what you said, I believed it all,
    I won't be leaving you, as long as you want me to, don't walk away.
    Ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said?

    Chorus

    Liar, liar, liar,

    We have seen no night, we have seen no day,
    If I ever leave ya, you want me to stay,
    You can believe in me, I won't be leaving,
    I won't let you go.
    Ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said?

    Chorus

    Liar, liar, liar.

    Verse

    You've taken my life, so take my soul,
    That's what you said, but who are we to know
    You can believe in me, I won't be leaving, I won't let you go.
    Ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said, ain't that what you said?

  • Steady Rockin'
  • Verse

    I'm going out on the town, no monkey business I'm not fooling 'round,
    Down on the corner signing with my friends, hip shakin'
    action here we go again.
    I'll do whatever it takes, any reason, rhyme, or rule I can break,
    Got a true heart for excitement and fun, when I stop living,
    well that's when I'm done.

    Chorus

    Because I'm steady rockin', oh yes I'm steady rockin',
    Well you don't know where I've been I might come again,
    But I'll be Steady Rockin'.

    Verse

    Yes, I will be spinning my wheels, double or nothing whatever we feel,
    Once we get started we'll go all the way, fast movin' action
    with no words to say.
    No, I won't be slowing it down, if you can't keep up I guess I'll
    see you around,
    But hold on I've gotta slam on the breaks, swear
    I've never seen such a prettier face.

    Bridge

    Let's take it slow now...
    Don't et one moment escape,
    I want to go now...
    I'm so hot and I can't wait,
    It feels so good now...
    Oh we got nothin' to lose.

    Chorus

    Because we're steady rockin', oh yes we're steady rockin',
    Well you don't know where I've been I might not come again,
    but I'll steady rockin'.

  • My Wild Romance
  • Verse

    She don't live on a straight line, loves to tread on the danger zone,
    Got to have a good time, doesn't like to party alone.
    Only drives a fast car, loves to scare me half to death!
    We always seem to go too far, sometimes it's hard to catch my breath.

    Oh, you wanna hold her and control her
    She does anything she wants.

    Chorus

    My wild romance, my wild romance.

    So wound up she's got to roam, got the moves of a jungle cat.

    Bridge

    Oh, you can't control her, no way to hold her
    She does anything she wants.

    Chorus

    My wild romance, my wild romance, and
    I'm so glad that I've really took the chance, cause she's
    My wild romance.
