(R. Stewart / D. Hitchings / R. Robinson)

Early in the morning I can't sleep
I can't work and I can't eat
I've been drunk all day, can't concentrate
Maybe I'm making a big mistake

Caught me down like a killer shark
It's like a railroad running right through my heart
Jekyll and Hyde the way I behave 
Feel like I'm running on an empty gauge

Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation

Heart beats silly like a big bass drum
Losing all equilibrium
It's so hard in the middle of the week
Maybe this woman's just all I need

Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
'Fatuate me baby

Spirits soar when I'm by her side
She put a little love in this heart of mine
Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm freed
Maybe this woman's just all I need

Oh no not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Rev it up

. . .


( A. Fraser / P. Rodgers)

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey what is this
Now maybe baby
Maybe you're in need for a kiss
I said hey what's your name
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate

I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look what's your game
Are you trying to put me in shame
I said slow don't talk so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love Lord above
Now you're trying to trick me in love

All right now
Baby it's all right now
All right now
Baby it's all right now

Who's that girl, watch that girl
Look at that girl
She lives down my street
Who's that girl, w-w-w-watch that girl
Well look at that girl
She lives down my street

I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look what's your game
Are you trying to put me in shame
I said slow don't talk so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love Lord above
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love

All right now
Baby it's all right now

Baby, baby, baby it's all right 
Baby, baby, baby it's all right 

Took me home to her place
And I watched the smile on her face
When she moves me
I just watch that girl, watch that girl
And she said, "Love, you tryin' to trick me in love"
What's this now baby that's no good
Tryin' to trick me in love
Don't do that, no don't do that
Don't do that oh baby
All right now
Don't do, don't do that
You can't do that, can't do that
All right now baby

. . .


(J. Fortgang)

Chorus:
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

Alone in a crowd on a bus after work 
and I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms
My arms are empty
How does it feel when the girl next to you 
says she loves you
It seem so unfair when there's love everywhere 
but there's none for me

(Chorus)

Someone to take on a walk by the lake
Lord let it be me
Someone who's shy
Someone who'll cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out
she was fooling me
You're just a dream and as real as it seems
I ain't that lucky

(Chorus)

All of my friends have a ring on their finger
They have someone
Someone to care for them it ain't fair
I got no one
The car overheated
I called up and pleaded
There's help on the way
I called you collect you didn't accept
You had nothing to say

(Chorus)

But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye

. . .


(Todd Rundgren)

We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends

We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand one by one
Before you know it it's all gone

Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends
It's a strange sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together

Where do we go from here

We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends

We awoke from our dream
Things are not what they always seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad, old song

Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here

I can't play this game anymore
Can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
I just wanna be friends
I just wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
And now I just wanna be friends
We had something to learn, something to learn
Now can we still be friends
Let's admit our mistakes

. . .


(Stewart / Savigar / Cregan)

Every day I wake
Every word I speak
Got you on my mind
I've made love to you
And I may not be
The answer to your prayer
Give me just one night
And I'll take you there

I can read your mind
Honey I ain't blind
You want love so hard
It's no federal crime

Chorus:

Someone's gotta tell me
That you're mine all mine
Take me to your river honey
Fracture my mind
I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
I've got my brand on you
I'll be bad for you

When you turn around
I'll be standing there
Anywhere you go
I will follow you
Any place you walk
Any words you talk
I'll be by your side
I won't let you down

(Chorus)

I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
I put my brand on you
I'll be bad for you
Bad for you

Listen to me
Be bad for me

Every day I wake
Every word I speak
Got you on my mind
I've made love to you

When the night gets hot
You're my only thought
Can't control myself
I'll make love to you

(Chorus)

I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
Ain't nothin' you can do
I'll be bad for you
Bad for you
Nothing you can do
I'm so bad for you baby
I'll be bad for you baby

. . .


(R. Stewart / J. Davis)

What do you want from me
When will you ever see
I gave it all nothing less
The feeling ain't mutual I guess
Why am I so confused
Why do I feel so used
This game at hand was made for two
But somehow I played without you

No I'm not sad
Nothin' lasts forever
Head over heels
Better late than never

Chorus:

My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me

Telling my friends you're fine
Even our favorite wine
But you're not there and it hurts
Nobody knows how it hurts
Maybe I thought I knew
That I belonged to you
I dreamed a dream I couldn't have
I foolishly let myself dance
Inside your eyes
Oh don't be sad
I should've known better
Why didn't I realize

(Chorus)

Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me

Whenever you call me up
Everything else must stop
My heart says stay but I go
'Cause I need you and you know
You're inside of me
I want you now and forever
Come on back to me

(Chorus)

My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me

(Stewart / Savigar / Omartian)

She came to the party
In a leather number wrapped in chains
Investigation found
She was very fond of dropping names
So I signed her book
And drove her to her home
And she looked so hot
Started to come on strong
Then she said so candidly
As I was gettin' down on my knees
"I don't really mean to tease
But I'm shy, shy, shy, shy, shy"
Camouflage
That's nothin' but camouflage

He was totally handsome
With a winning personality
Natural born leader
With connections in society
But late at night
Alone with just his wealth
He would stare in the mirror
And never see himself
He had a cadillac thirty foot long
He had a hit with every song
Sounded like something's wrong
Why, why, why, why, why

Camouflage
It ain't nothin' but camouflage
Camouflage
Ain't nothing but, nothin' but
Nothin' but camouflage

They were so well suited
With an ambience you can't ignore
But nobody realized
What went on behind closed doors
He had many affairs
But never felt fulfilled
She would hide her sadness
In alcohol and pills
She bottled everything up inside
He was too busy with his best friend's wife
They couldn't look each other in the eyes
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies

Camouflage
Just camouflage
Everywhere you go it's called camouflage
Some people hide behind camouflage

C-A-M-O-U-F-L-A-G-E

I signed her book, drove her to her home
But I didn't know what was goin' on

He had a cadillac thirty foot long
Had hits with every song

He had many affairs but never felt fulfilled
She was hidin' herself in some little purple pills

Why, why, why, why
Shy, shy, shy, shy
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies

Camouflage, camouflage
Talkin' 'bout camouflage 
camouflage, bring it down

Sometimes I worry about you darlin'
You wear too much mascara
Too much eyeliner
Too much rouge, and it worries me
Camouflage, camouflage
Camouflage, talkin' 'bout camouflage

. . .


(Stewart / Omartian)

Looking out on the city tonight and I'm wondering why
Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong
I am lost in an ocean of mixed emotions now
Everything I held sacred now has gone

Here am I far from home
Learning how to be alone
Silly me I should of guessed
Never settle on second best
Time for me to reassess

Chorus:

Heading into trouble
I am always heading into trouble
Sideways, downways
Heading into trouble
Now I'm losing you

It's gonna be a lonely summer without you 'round
I'll even miss the way you sing off key
Down in the market the reggae bands won't sound the same
Old Joe says without you they just don't believe

Now I am no longer sure
Who's gonna open every door
The love I take and couldn't share
The warmth I had but didn't care
To give myself I never dared

(Chorus)

Hope it all goes well in the future for you my dear
Hope you find where your heart truly belongs
I don't know about me and tomorrow
'Cause you're gonna be a hard act to follow
I'll miss you baby every day even though you're far away
Here's to you in every way

(Chorus)
