We want to multiply, are you gonna do it?
I know you qualify, are you gonna do it?
Don't be so circumscribed, are you gonna do it?
Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it?

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot, and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot till you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat till we fry

The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it?
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it?
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it?
I know you won't be satisfied until you do it

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot, and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot till you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat till we fry

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot, and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot till you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat till we fry

Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot

She's got a date for lunch in Singapore,
Holds stock in I.B.M. and hates Dior.
She puts up her make-up on at 6.00am
She goes to work, gets home then puts it on again

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;
She's got so much energy;
She's such an expert at surprising me.
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance.
And she's so attracted to a wild romance,
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive.
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance.
she never missed a beat or missed a chance,
And I'm persuaded by her argument.
She's hyperactive.

The other dancers hyperventilate and start to sweat.
One look at her - I know the nights not over yet.
She says Where are we going now?
Her voice is sweet and soft.
I think she lost the key that turns her motor off.

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;
She's got so much energy;
She's such an expert at surprising me.
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance.
She never missed a beat or missed a chance,
And I'm persuaded by her argument.
She's hyperactive.
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance.
And she's so attracted to a wild romance,
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive.

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;
She's got do much energy;
She's such an expert at surprising me.
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance.
And she's so attracted to a wild romance,
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive.
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance.
she never missed a beat or missed a chance,
And I'm persuaded by her argument.
She's hyperactive.

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance.
She never missed a beat or missed a chance,
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive.

She never missed a beat or missed a chance,
And more effective than a stimulant -
She's hyperactive.

You naughty girl: so sharp and dry
Don't fill yourself with foolish pride
You wanted me to notice you
But when I came, you cut me
Why did you do it?
Why did you go and spoil the fun?
Why did you do it?
You need the discipline of love – some discipline
You wild child
How sweet you smile
Your crystal ball – it's broken
Why did you do it?
Why did you go and spoil the fun?
Why did you do it?
You need the discipline of love – some discipline
Take notice now: my turn to talk
The gate of love – it's narrow

. . .


Tell me I'm not dreaming
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Midnight
Images of you
You slipped
Slipped into my room
Oh, could be magic
Could be fantasy
Could it be that we're in love
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Oh your voice
Whispers in the dark
You know, you're talk
Talking to my heart
Are you with me?
Am I here with you?
Are we paradise?
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Or are you
Too good to be true
I wanna know,
Are you ooh baby
Too good to be true

Tell me I'm not dreaming
The light took me by surprise
The light coming from your eyes
Are you with me?
Am I here with you?
Are we in paradise?
Tell me I'm not dreaming
I know I've been here before
You go then and you come back for more
Oh it's a mystery
How you disappear
Like a shadow in the night
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Are you, ooh baby
Too good to be true?

Tell me I'm not dreaming
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Ohwhen the morning comes
Wake me with your love
Let me know that
I'm not dreaming baby
Will you tell me
This is real
Tell me how you feel
Say it's what we both believe in
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Are you too good to be true?

. . .


When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Now I bring you home
You tell me the night's not enough for you
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasn't tryin' to lead you on
Not like you think
I didn't mean to turn you on
I know you
Expected a one-night-stand when I refused
I knew you wouldn't understand
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice
Only tryin' to be nice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
Hey, now why should I
Feel guilty 'cause I won't give
Guilty 'cause I won't give in
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on
When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on

. . .


It's crazy but I'm frightened by the sound of the telephone, oh yeah
I'm worried that the caller might have awful news, oh my
Who knows these days where on earth the money goes, oh yeah
No doubt we could put it to a better use, oh my
You keep insisting that nobody showed you how to keep relationships, oh yeah
Your daddy made a real good try, oh my
You said you knew all along we could work it out, oh yeah
Do you have to make a fuss everytime we fly
Ooh I'm looking for clues
I'll have to make an effort now just to be serious, oh yeah
Nobody's gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, oh my
Everytime I pick a paper up it's harder to believe the news, oh yeah
I'm gonna have to shake it up and twist and shout, oh my
You can't do nothing that you don't put your mind to, oh yeah
I suspected all along you were a dream come true, oh my
I'm never in the dark 'cause my heart keeps me well informed, oh yeah
I'm convinced that there's a way of getting through to you
Ooh I'm looking for clues
It's crazy but I'm frightened by the sound of relationships, oh yeah
I swear we could put it to a better use, oh my
Do hurry baby you've forgotten how to catch a night groove, oh yeah
You told all the callers you were not amused
Ooh I'm looking for clues
You keep insisting that nobody showed you how to use a telephone, oh yeah
Nobody's gonna give you a second chance, oh my
I don't have to make an effort now to find out where the money goes, oh yeah
Do you have to make a fuss everytime we dance
Ooh I'm looking for clues
Do ya do ya do ya do ya
Ooh I'm looking for clues
Ooh I'm looking for clues
Ooh I'm looking for clues

Deep in the jungle, he lost her favour
Another gambit-he would have made her
He gave her perfume-she used his razor
And decided to change his ways
She was a gambler-he didn't blame her;
She had a dimple in her favour
At the last minute, he always chased her
And decided to change his ways
Life would be so much more exciting
If we could live it day to day
We could at least adjust the lighting
To illuminate the way
He took the loving that she'd been craving
She took advantage of the saving;
It almost ruin her reputation
And decided to change his ways
She wasn't crazy 'bout his behaviour;
She read it somewhere in the paper;
He was seducing a ballerina
And decided to change his ways

. . .


You want her attention
Well you'll have to wait
She's in the gymnasium
Reducing weight

In shorts of a leotard
Despite her age
The girl's gonna exercise
Your life away

Sister don't you jog it all away
Sister don't you run it all off
Sister don't you jog it all away
Sister don't you rough it all up

What an idea of fun
To get it on the run
I don't know why you do
What has come over you?

The style in the discotheque
Is cheap and nice
Please tell Ms Fonda
To reduce her price

Anorexia nervosa mannequin
All this physicality
Will wear you thin

Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?
Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?

She used to yield like flesh
Now it's all muscle
She used to yield like flesh
Now it's all muscle

I don't know why you do
What has come over you
What an idea of fun
To get it on the run

Rollerskates and vitamins and diet plans
Academic discipline will ruin your hands
We used to ride tandem and have lots of fun
But bicycles for exercise are made for one

. . .


I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun
I woke up laughing
I was flat on my back
I was taking a plunge
It was making a stand but my plan was undone
I woke up laughing
Well I planned an escape for the middle of june
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up laughing
Woke up laughing

You make yourself a fortune, out in hong kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return your home has blown away
You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box

Repeat whole song

. . .


Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind
More than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn
When he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he earns time to
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it

Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he's
Being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it

Johnny's always running around
Running around

. . .


Riptide caught in a riptide
Torn between two loves the old and the new
Riptide lost in a riptide
Where will it take me what shall I do?
My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion
One love offers romance the other devotion
The new love is calling the old love is pleading
I'm caught in a riptide what shall I do?

. . .


Hold me now; 'til the world turns away
Show me how here in this dream
We might always stay
We belong to each other
One embrace sealed our fate,
Here in your arms, feeling the love
That we generate everytime we caress
Look around; -there's a will, there's a way
Dream while I ever so tenderly kiss your face,
All the love passing between us
Hold me now; 'til the world turns away
Show me how here in this dream
We might always stay
To this love we surrender

. . .


We flew over miles of ocean--be prepared.
I don't have the faintest notion who'll be there.
You underestimated; nobody sympathized.
I think you'll soon feel better once we get inside.
I see the door is open -- Why don't we walk right in?
Let's put our party hats on and let the fun begin!
We should have called and said that we were on our way;
Who would have ever guessed that you'd be so unreachable?
Just another flesh wound--another thorn in my side
Just another flesh wound--another wonder-cure that you tried
Just another flesh wound--another scratch on your hide
Just another flesh wound--another irritation you abide
You know the rumour's going that he was synthesized.
And if we had to dress, I wouldn't be surprised.
I say -- you're so outrageous -- you'll go to number one!
They'll have us both arrested for having too much fun.
Just another flesh wound--another scratch on your hide.
Just another flesh wound--another thorn in your side.
Just another flesh wound--another bruise on your pride.
Just another flesh wound--another paranoia that you hide.
And when she held her nose, she took an underdose.
It was nice to see her completely comatose.
You go first, you're completely debonair;
Let's go dutch -- it's only fair.
Just another flesh wound--another thorn in your side.
Just another flesh wound--a minor injury you dignified.
Just another flesh wound--another unsuccessful suicide.
Just another flesh wound--another curse that you ride.

. . .


Your love keeps coming
Stronger and stronger, every day
Like a river that's running turning into a tidal wave

Your love's so strong I can't fight it
Can't resist your siren's wail
I won't run I won't fight it-I could lick you any day

Now more than ever
Now more than ever

Your love keeps coming like tomorrow like judgement day
Fighting demons
Turning evil out
It keeps on driving my blues away
Read the signs
Heed the warnings
Learn the rules
Play the game
Your love keeps coming-nothing standing in its way
Now more than ever
Now more than ever

You ain't fakin-You can prove it
You keep meeting me halfway
Your love keeps coming stronger and stronger every day

Your love keeps riding like a storm conqueror
Do I need you-do I love you-do I want you like before?

Now more than ever

. . .


How can it be permissible?
She compromise my principle, yeah, yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical

She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

Her loving is so powerful, huh!
It's simply unavoidable
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible

She's a natural law and she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause, I surrender because
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

Simply irresistible she's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
Simply irresistible she's all mine, there's no other way to go

She's unavoidable, I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I'm breaking promises, she's breaking every law
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
Simply irresistible, she's all mine
There's no other way to go!

Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible

She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
Simply irresistible she's all mine, there's no other way to go
She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
Simply irresistible she's all mine, there's no other way to go

Simply irresistible

LA'-LA-E/LA-LA'-E'
Oi
Maria mondou me dizer
Maria mondou me dizer
Nao (eu) quero falar com voce
Oi

She's just testing her wings
And if you give in to her, you'll be
Just another feather in her cap
She'll drop you in a flash

She's casting a spell
She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

So I said, no no no
I ain't falling for this

This girl is built to tease
She's only testing
The efficiency of her kiss


She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

She wants to check out how
You check out on her test-bed
Will you get in her book
Or will you go right to her head

She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

And so I cast it right back on her
Don't you know my luck
She fell under the influence
And then the thunder struck

Now we're casting a spell
We're casting a spell
You can cast one as well

. . .


Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Ohh oohh

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff...oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
Ohh oohh

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
Your heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Ohh oohh

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
