Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
Feels Like Love
(Frankie Sullivan/Jim Peterik)
I'm red hot, higher than high
Gettin' some action on a midnight ride
Feeling alright, this Saturday night
Your touch ignites the fire
Driving my heel to the edge of desire
Feeling so right, it's Saturday night
No more lonely nights searching for this feeling
Lovelight's shining in your eyes
Girl it sure feels like love
I need it every day
Yeah it sure feels like love
I wanna tell you
I've been waiting, so long waiting
It feels like love
I once thought love was for fools
For broken hearts and broken rules
I was so wrong, for so long
We're pulling over to the side of the road
Decide if it's love or just an overload
Girl I, I need to know, ooh I gotta know
No more lonely nights searching for this feeling
Lovelight's burning in your eyes
Girl it sure feels like love
I need it every day
Yeah it sure feels like love
I wanna tell you
I've been waiting, so long waiting
It feels like love
Girl it sure feels like love
I need it every day
Yeah it sure feels like love
I wanna tell you
I've been waiting, so long waiting
I've been waiting, so long waiting
I've been waiting, so long waiting
It feels like love, come on
It feels like love, come on
It feels like love, I feel it every day
It feels like love, every day
It feels like love, every day
It feels like love, come on
Hesitation Dance
(Frankie Sullivan/Jim Peterik)
Like a vision standin' there
Lips poutin' and a come on stare
Come on, I thought I had your number
Lookin' so right, spend the night
I was workin' up an appetite for love
Don't let me die of hunger
Ain't you got no heart
No compassion for your lover
When I get you on the floor
I find it's just another
Hesitation dance
You got me in a stone cold trance
Hesitation dance
Go out and find another fool
For your game of chance
Shut the door, draw the blinds
Yeah baby gonna draw the lines
Come on, I know your heart's on fire
How could anyone who plays the part
And tastes so sweet wanna hide her heart away
You're my main desire
But ain't you got no heart
No compassion for your lover
When I get you on the floor
I find it's just another
Hesitation dance
You got me in a stone cold trance
Hesitation dance
Go out and find another fool
For your hesitation dance
Hesitation dance
You got me in a stone cold trance
Hesitation dance
Go out and find another fool
For your game of chance
Hesitation dance
You got me in a stone cold trance
Hesitation dance
Go out and find another fool
For your game of chance
You got me in a stone cold trance
Oh, hesitation dance
The One That Really Matters
(Jim Peterik)
I know your mind like the back of my
hand
A race that I ran before
Are you so blind that you'd turn your back
On love and slam the door
If you're searching for something more
You have a good time
But if you follow your heart
You're gonna find that
I'm the one, the one, the one that
really matters
The one that really cares
The one, when your whole world is shattered
Snap your fingers and I'll be there
There's someone new
He's your brand new toy
You could break that poor boy in two
If that's your style
I should have known from the start
This heart wants no part of you
If you're still the same girl I knew
All in good time
You're gonna follow your heart
And you're gonna find
I'm still the one, the one, the one
that really matters
The one that really cares
The one, when your whole world is shattered
Snap your fingers and I'll be there
I know your mind like the back of my
hand
A race that I ran before
Are you so blind that you'd turn your back
On love and slam the door
If you're searching for something more
You have a good time
But if you follow your heart
You're gonna find
I'm still the one, the one, the one
that really matters
The one that really cares
The one, when your whole world is shattered
Snap your fingers and I'll be there
The one, the one that really matters
The one that really cares
The one, when your whole world is shattered
Snap your fingers and I'll be there
The one, the one that really matters
The one that really cares
The one, when your whole world is shattered
Snap your fingers and I'll be there
The one, the one that really matters
The one that really cares
The one, when your whole world is shattered
Snap your fingers and I'll be there
I'm Not Than Man Anymore
(Frankie Sullivan/Jim Peterik)
Teardrops, falling from your eyes like
raindrops
Pouring from the sky, remember
You used to have the love I needed
Back when we were young
Lovin' always came so easy
Heaven shared our love, magic
The first time that I held you
You fit like a glove
You'd soothe me, with a shrug of your heart you could move me
It always seemed my love would find you
When you needed a friend
I would be the man who would understand you
I'm not that man anymore
And I'm not gonna throw my heart away
No, that's not me anymore
Baby I've changed
One look is all it took to tell me
your love was made of lies
Madness to think that I believed your reasons, your alibis
The day girl, when I turned to look the other way girl
I realized the game you were playin' was breakin' my heart
I could see it plainly, time has changed me
But I'm not that man anymore
And I'm not gonna throw my heart away
No, that's not me anymore
Baby I've changed
And I'm not gonna throw my heart away
No, that's not me anymore
Baby I've changed
Children Of The Night
(Frankie Sullivan/Jim Peterik)
Well we rifle through the night
Like riders on the run now, in the street
Holding back the blinding light
Cause a thousand eyes can be so indiscreet
And we hide away, love the night away
And we run between the shadows and the light
We're children of the night
Runnin' from the light
Children of the night, of the night
In the day we pass like strangers
Cause we fear the consequences of our love
And we realize the danger
Still we choose to take our chances on our love
And we hide away, love the night away
And we run between the shadows and the light
Like children of the night
Runnin' from the light
Children of the night
Of the night, oh yeah
Theres a fine line, such a fine
line, very fine line
Between the day and the nighttime
The wrong and the right time for makin' sweet love
Find a place to hide, anyplace to hide, hidin' in the darkness
Feels like the right time, for love in the nighttime
For makin' sweet love
And we hide away, love the night away
And we run between the shadows and the light
Like children of the night
Runnin' from the light
Children of the night
Runnin' from the light
Children of the night
Runnin' from the light
Children of the night
Runnin' from the light
Children of the night
We're children of the night
Children of the night
We're children of the night
Ever Since The World Began
(Frankie Sullivan/Jim Peterik)
I'll never know what brought me here
As if somebody led my hand
It seems I hardly had to steer
My course was planned
And destiny it guides us all
And by it's hand we rise and fall
But only for a moment
Time enough to catch our breath again
And we're just another piece of the
puzzle
Just another part of the plan
How one live touches the other
Is so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We try to go as far as we can
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began
Taking in the times gone by
We wonder how it all began
We'll never know and still we try to understand
And even though the seasons change
The reason shall remain the same
It's love that keeps us holding on
Till we can see the sun again
And we're just another piece of the
puzzle
Just another part of the plan
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began
And I stand alone, a man of stone
Against the driving rain
And the night, it's got your number
And the wind, it cries your name
And we search for clues, win or lose
In this we're all the same
The hope still burns eternal
We're the keeper of the flame
And we're just another piece of the
puzzle
Just another part of the plan
How one live touches the other
Is so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We try and go as far as we can
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began
American Heartbeat
(Frankie Sullivan/Jim Peterik)
The night's alive with wind and fire
We telegraph our heart's desire
Though the night, with our eyes
Wheels are turnin', fast and hard
Hearts are burnin' on the boulevard
Hear them pound, young and proud
It's the American Heartbeat
Chart the stars and head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction
It's the American heartbeat
The American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat
Oh the American heartbeat
The stage is set, the roles are chosen
The lights grow hot at the midnight's closin'
In at last, it comes so fast
Poundin' harder at the midnight striking
It hits us like a bolt of lightning
Deeper down it's the sound of the American Heartbeat
Chart the stars and head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction
It's the American heartbeat (fast in
love)
The American heartbeat (young and bright)
American heartbeat (oh)
The American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat (American heartbeat)
The American heartbeat (American)
It's the American heartbeat
Oh, the American heartbeat
American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat
The American heartbeat
Oh, it's the American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat (American heartbeat)
The American heartbeat (American)
It's the American heartbeat
Oh the American heartbeat
The American heartbeat (American heartbeat)
It's the American heartbeat (American)
The American heartbeat
Oh the American heartbeat
The American heartbeat (American heartbeat)
The American heartbeat
Silver Girl
(Frankie Sullivan/Jim Peterik)
Silver girl, stay until tomorrow
Take my heart away with just a single kiss
Silver girl, the world outside our window
Somehow fades away at moments like this
While tonight in the city street the people rush by
You and I are taking our time, precious time
Won't you lay with me (stay with me)
one moment more
I couldn't bear to see you walk out that door
Stay with me (stay with me) be my one in the world
For just one golden moment, my silver girl
The silver moon holds us in its power
With a magic that I'm not prepared to fight
With all my strength I've been holding back the hour
Lie beside me now if just for one night
Far below, in the city street the people rush by
You and I are taking our time, precious time
Won't you lay with me (stay with me)
one moment more
I couldn't bear to see you walk out that door
Stay with me (stay with me) be my one in the world
For just one golden moment, my silver girl
Won't you lay with me (stay with me)
one moment more
I couldn't bear to see you walk out that door
Stay with me (stay with me) be my one in the world
My silver girl
Won't you stay with me (stay with me) one moment more
I couldn't bear to see you walk out that door
Stay with me (stay with me) be my one in the world
My silver girl
