(T. Britten/G. Lyle)

He's the kind that takes the line of least resistance
In this situation cupid needs assistance
I can tell you this in confidence
You should learn a little self-defense

Toughen up
You better believe it
Toughen up
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah

What you're looking for is only wishful thinking
Word is out all over town whose bell he's ringing
Won't you take a little good advice
You're better hiding what you feel inside

Toughen up
You better believe it
Toughen up
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah

Don't let him tell you what to do
To get him running after you
Pretend you don't care about the guy
Never let him see you cry
If you love him take a tip from me
It's a sensible philosophy

Toughen up
Enough is enough
Toughen up
Show him you're hot stuff
Toughen up
Don't let him get one over you
Toughen up, yeah

Toughen up
You better believe it
Toughen up
You're gonna need to
Toughen up
Don't let him get the best of you
Toughen up, yeah

Toughen up
Enough is enough
Toughen up
Show him you're hot stuff
Toughen up
Don't let him get one over you
Toughen up, yeah

(M. Boldenberg)

Soul kiss
You left me dreaming
Now I wonder are things just what they seem
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Soul kiss
Some nights you get me wondering
Is this the way
This is a hunger
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Somewhere there is a fire burning
Somewhere inside
Somewhere there is a heart that's waiting
To take a ride
To take the ride to your soul kiss

So this is what it has to lead to
Take my hand and make me need tp
I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Soul kiss
You left me hoping
Now I wonder is the door still open
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Somewhere there is a fire burning
Somewhere inside
Somewhere there is a heart that's waiting
To take a ride
To take the ride to your soul kiss

(J. Farrar/T. Snow/S. Kipner)

Something strange is going on
And you're in the middle
I'll do anything to solve the riddle
I've got a city editor
Put me on a deadline
If I don't come through
I'm on the breadline

I'll invade your privacy
Please don't take it personally

I'm oh so sorry
But the reader's got a right to know
You're gonna help the circulation grow
When I get the story right
I'll be queen of the publication

I've got a hidden camera
A shadow on your tail
And I'm tape recording every detail
All the walls have ears tonight
They're listening in case you might
Talk in your sleep

I'm oh so sorry
But the reader's got a right to know
You're gonna help the circulation grow
When I get the story right
I'll be queen of the publication

In every supermarket checkout line
They'll be staring at your face
Make you a legend in your own time
Give you triple column space
When I get the story right
I'll be queen
I'll be queen
I'll be queen

I'm oh so sorry
But the reader's got a right to know
You're gonna help the circulation grow
When I get the story right
I'll be queen of the publication

(J. Farrar/B. Thorpe)

The moment we met you knew me
I felt you melt into me
Wrap round my heart and shake me inside
One simple conversation
Such gentle communication
Love found a way in and to my surprise

From the emotional angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough

Till now it was easy stalling
Feeling but never falling
I'd always stop before it could start
Love brought our lives together
With a magic that lasts forever
And nothing on earth can tear us apart

From the emotional angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough

I just can't get enough
Want you day and night
No taking away my appetite
So spin me in circles
Pull me tighter and tighter to you

From the emotional angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough

(S. Kipner/P. Bliss)

I've been trying to tell you
I've been putting it off, putting it off
Can't wait any longer
You've been good to me
And that only makes it harder
To say what I gotta say

You gotta know I didn't plan it
It was the last thing on my mind
How can you love two people at the same time?
Now I don't wanna lose you
But I can't give him up

I know it's unconventional
Radical but practical
Why can't the three of us live together?
It's a culture shock
But it's the only hope we've got
Tell me, why can't the three of us live together?

If I could go back and undo it
If I had a time machine
I'd make it unhappen like a bad dream
But honey, you gotta know, I didn't plan it
It was the last thing on my mind
How can you love two people at the same time?
Now I don't wanna lose you
But I can't give him up

I know it's unconventional
Radical but practical
Why can't the three of us live together?
It's a culture shock
But it's the only hope we've got
Tell me, why can't the three of us live together?

You're not taking this too well
It's out of the question
I can tell
It's not gonna work, is it?

I know it's unconventional
Radical but practical
Why can't the three of us live together?
It's a culture shock
But it's the only hope we've got
Tell me, why can't the three of us live together?

(S. Kipner/P. Bliss)

Here again drawn like a moth to a flame
An invisible force pulling me close to you
I can't break free
There's some kind of hold over me
Like a magnet, you attract me like steel

I'm a kamikaze pilot, it's a one-way one flight
Getting to you is getting to me
Must be lack of oxygen
I'm a do or die fanatic, no rationale
Cause anyone else could tell
You don't stand a snowball's chance in hell

Moth to a flame
A fatal attraction
I'm flying too close to the sun
Sooner or later, you're gonna get burned
Moth to a flame
A lethal reaction
I'm loving you under the gun
It's just a matter of time before I get

Over my head in your quicksand bed
The more I struggle the more I'm sucked in
Here again drawn like a moth to a flame
An invisible force pulling me close to you

I'm a kamikaze pilot, it's a one-way one flight
Getting to you is getting to me
Must be lack of oxygen
I'm a do or die fanatic, no rationale
Cause anyone else could tell
You don't stand a snowball's chance in hell

(J. Farrar/T. Snow)

Looks like I'm the only one here
Even the nurse is gone
But I guess I should wait cause when she left, she said

The doctor won't be long
So make yourself at home
His office is down the hall

Why do I feel uneasy?
I know he must be good
Got credentials all over the wall

I hear a voice behind me say
What seems to be the trouble, my dear?
Won't you be kind enough to step over here

It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, I'll have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
I'll hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)

Please don't think me ungrateful
But holding me overnight
Seems a little extreme
Do you always serve martinis
And turn the lights down low
Doctor, do your colleagues know?
Although you say it's good for me
I really don't feel like dancing now
Somebody's waiting
And I'm double-parked anyhow

It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, I'll have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
I'll hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)

Now, I may look stupid
But I'll tell you what, I've been around a long time
And I thought I had heard everything
I tell you, they keep coming up with them
I just couldn't believe my ears when he said:

Kick off your shoes, relax my dear
Slip into something comfortable
Two seconds flat, I'm out the door and down the hall

It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, I'll have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
I'll hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)

(J. Farrar/T. Snow)

I'll never learn
I cling to the past
I find so much there to lean on
But when I get lucky
I can even forget
Our now and forevers are gone

I know what you mean
I go there myself
When I feel the mood coming on
It comes on so easy
It's hard to believe
Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes
The feeling's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late
Love you were great, how was I?

I'm doing my best with somebody else
It's good to feel counted upon
It keeps me from sliding to where I forget
Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes
The feeling's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late
Love you were great, how was I?

(S. Kipner/T. Emmanuel)

I'm a taxi driver on an all-nighter
Don't wanna fall asleep at the wheel
Play me some feel
4 AM business is slow
I listen to my radio
If no one flags me down, I turn up the sound

Moving to the beat
I cruise the empty streets
Changing the gears
Filling up my ears
Help me stay awake
Don't take a commercial break
I need another fare
So stay on the air

Won't you play me some driving music
Won't you play me some driving music

I'm a daydreamer
My speedometer says
I'd better take it slow
Or my speaker's gonna blow up
Help me stay awake
Don't take a commercial break
I need another fare
So stay on the air

Won't you play me some driving music
Won't you play me some driving music

Please won't you play me my request
I wanna hear it one more time
Just for luck
Spin it again 'fore the sun comes up
Seems like I'm always changing dials
Station to station, mile after mile

Won't you play me some driving music
Won't you play me some driving music



. . .



(G. Rafferty)

Spinning on another wheel
Going round in slow motion
Caught up in another dream
Drifting on a blue ocean

When you gonna reach out
Only you can turn your world around
When will you surrender
And wake up to the real

But you don't want to start just yet
You watch the seasons come and go
You remember and then you forget
All along the way

You can make a better life
You're just waiting for the right moment
You can find another way
You're just waiting for the right moment

When you gonna let go
And forget about the life you knew
When will you surrender
And wake up to the real

Now you know that it's all borrowed time
Still you waste another day
But you watch and you wait for a sign
All along the way



. . .


(John Farrar)

From the beginning I was on to you
But like a magnet I was drawn to you
Don't leave me waiting here in the dark
Switch off the static of a broken heart

We're holding a live wire,don't let it go
Not before you know-
You make me feel electric
You turn everthing on
You make me feel electric
Your connection is strong
You make me feel electric
I don't want it to stop
You make me feel electric
I'm still in shock

It's not your look that's getting through to me
It's what your human hands can do to me
You have a power to shake me up
Your touch is all it takes to wake me up

We're holding a live wire,don't let it go
Not before you know-
You make me feel electric
You turn everthing on
You make me feel electric
Your connection is strong
You make me feel electric
I don't want it to stop
You make me feel electric
I'm still in shock

I never thought I'd want this kind of affection
You are the exception-oh no

Ah,You make me feel electric
You turn everthing on
You make me feel electric
Your connection is strong
You make me feel electric
I don't want it to stop
You make me feel electric
I'm still in shock
You make me feel electric

You make me feel electric
Your connection is strong

You make me feel electric
I'm still in shock
You make me feel electric
You make me feel electri-i-i-i-i-c
