It's funny how we've seem, funny how we can even walk up straight.
Last night you sat home waiting, and I got home much too late, yeah to late.
So what if we loose our minds, so what if it doesn't make much sense.
At least we know we're lazy, at least we know how to play, we're so great.

Well come on, well come on, hon' get up and dance with me yeah.
Well no more, well no more blue days and lonely years.

And I'm afraid I need my baby, I'm afraid he doesn't know it yet.
Someday I will tell him maybe, It's been like this since I don't know when, but it's great.

Well come on, well come on, hon' get up and dance with me yeah.
Well no more, well no more blue days and lonely years.
Well come on, well come on, hon' get up and dance with me yeah.
Well no more, well no more blue days for you my dear.

I was been told, you will never grow old, if you live your too fast.
But I don't need to rest, I'm not old and tired, but I've been through fire and I've seen enough,
and I might never be the same again, but have you seen my friends, they're just the same.

Well come on, well come on, hon' get up and dance with me yeah.
Well no more, well no more blue days and lonely years.
Well come on, well come on, hon' get up and dance with me yeah.
Well no more, well no more blue days for you my dear

But we're not sorry
I knew there was something that we never had,
But we don't worry
No we're not living in America,
But we're not sorry
We don't care about the world today
We're not sorry for you

But do it right, and live your life like your time is now, but don't you look down.

Oh no, have you ever felt lonely?
Oh, they will never find out about us.

Kiss every man while you still can, like a lady.
And pull your self up and dance 'til you drop, I'm your baby, baby.
Listen to the songs and learn to sing along, on the radio, radio.100
Got fire in my eyes and boys by my side, they're mine you know.

Tonight! My baby, we got a love so strong, let the beat go on.
It's alright! My baby, if it feels so good then it can't be wrong.

Wake me up, I'm about to give it up.
Hey hurry up, lately it's been hard enough.
Try to shut me up, when you know you should wish me luck.
And you could beat me up, I'm heading for the top.

Hit me hard. Hit me right between the eyes, I wanna see the stars, hit me, hit me!
Well hit me hard. Hit me right between the eyes, I wanna see the stars, hit me, hit me!

I want a nice surprice, a dress thats black and tight.
I wanna see the light, it takes me through the night.
You beat me black and blue, but I can see through you.
You know it's up to you, and I can't belive it's true.

Hit me hard. Hit me right between the eyes, I wanna see the stars, hit me, hit me!
Well hit me hard. Hit me right between the eyes, I wanna see the stars, hit me, hit me!

Hit me, hit me hard!
Hit me, hit me hard!

One, two, three, four and I want more
and five, six, seven It`s not ok
How come you taste so good
This time I`m really hooked
It`s half past ten, it`s getting late
but the night is young and I can`t wait
You know I like it loud
You should know me by now

Something is sweet oh something is strong
Seems like love no longer can`t turn me on
A boy meet girl and girl meet boy
Got a nasty habbit go rock n`roll

You don`t know what it`s like
Iґve done things you only dreamed about
More than once or twice, it keeps me up at night
Jammed up bottle up, whatґs in store
You`re broing for love but I want more
I find another beat, There`s no time for sleep

Something is sweet oh something is strong
Seems like love no longer can`t turn me on
Like the girls in suits and those pretty boys
I gave my heart to rock `n roll

A soul you can call or the police
I`m sorry but my man is that you see
A lonely big drunk is you see
I bet you would like to undress me

Something is sweet oh something is strong
Seems like love no longer can`t turn me on
A boy meet girl and girl meet boy
Got a nasty habbit go rock n`roll

Something is sweet oh something is strong
Seems like love no longer can`t turn me on
Like the girls in suits and those pretty boys
I gave my heart to rock `n roll


. . .



I feel fine, if I feel at all. I Feel fine, but I need you more.
There's no use, it's up to you, oh can't you hear my heart beat?

And I could be someone else tonight, I can be what you decide.
There's no use, it's up to you, oh can't you feel my heart beat?

Fire, you're on your own, your pretty eyes have seen enough.
We'll go higher where I belong, the city lights are bright enough, to blind me.

And you, the look we choose, I feel like the latest news.
It's all bruised, it's up to you. Oh can't you feel my heart beat?

Fire, you're on your own, your pretty eyes have seen enough.
We'll go higher where I belong, the city lights are bright enough, to be
Fire, you're on your own, your pretty eyes have seen enough.
We'll go higher where I belong, the city lights are bright enough, to blind me.

Come on and give me some Fire, you're on your own, your pretty eyes have seen enough.
We'll go higher, where I belong, the city lights are bright enough, to be
Fire, fire, your pretty eyes have seen enough.
Higher, higher the city lights are bright enough, to blind me.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

You can call me a slut, you can call me a liar.
I got so many names now, I can't even deny it.
You can call me a thief, and put up a fight, and bury me six feet under the ground.
But if you think I look mad today, you should have seen me yesterday.
You can call me a beauty, you can call me a beast, but it's nobodys buisness, what I do or please.

This song is from me to you. You make me mad and you make me blue.
You're looking like I do, you know I can see you.
We dance to the same groove, but I've got the right moves.
Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving in.
I hope you're satisfied with your bullshit and your lies.
Hope you're happy now, but I'm not giving up.
I hope you're satisfied, can't bury me alive.

we're not afraid anymore
cause we've got nothing to lose
i've played this game before
and i will never sing the blues
no way

we take our hearts and souls
can't use them anymore
and you and i went out
and we had always stayed in control

we are
the s-o-u-n-d-s
we are
the s-o-u-n-d-s

we're not afraid anymore
cause we've got nothing to brew
we stayed in too long
and we wont miss you when you're gone

we are
the s-o-u-n-d-s
we are
the s-o-u-n-d-s
come on

and how can you turn out like this
i guess it's no surprise
daddy was a drunk
and mommy is a punk
and i believe i told you twice

we are
the s-o-u-n-d-s
we are
the s-o-u-n-d-s
come on

alright
the s-o-u-n-d-s
the s-o-u-n-d-s
the s-o-u-n-d-s
come on
hey
