  • Is Your Mama Gonna Miss Ya?
    
    I might as well bin blind
    Thought I owned this world and all its time
    Made up my mind not to love again
    Live my life a single man
    Lady luck she came my way
    Turned my night into day 
    
    She went huff and blew my little house down
    She went puff ya she spun me around
    She played rough ya she took me to town
    All I did was fool around
    And my whole world came tumblin' down
    
    Is your mama gonna miss ya now you're gone?
    Is your mama gonna miss her little rollin' stone?
    Is mama gonna cry now she's alone?
    Cause mama's little girl ain't goin' home!
    Ya-she's goin' with me
    I couldn't be found - couldn't be heard
    You couldn't trap this free bird
    I loved to fly shoulda heard me sing
    You came along and flapped your wings
    Had my eyes on the road foot on the floor
    Tell me "hey who's that knockin' at my door?"
    
    She went huff and blew my little house down
    She went puff ya she spun me around
    She played rough ya she took me to town 
    
    All I did was fool around
    And my whole world came crumblin' down
    
    Is your mama gonna miss ya now you're gone?
    Is your mama gonna miss her little rollin' stone?
    Is mama gonna cry now she's alone?
    Cause mama's little girl ain't goin' home!
    
    I said stop and she said go
    Looks so good I can't say no
    Now we've gone and lost control.

    Hey Honey I'm Packin' You In!
    
    Had enough of your crazy ways
    Had enough of your leavin' for days
    Don't wanna hear you waggin' your chin
    Sick 'n' tired of your noisy din
    Don't want another kick on the shin
    Hey honey - I'm packin' you in!
    
    Had enough of your faddy diet!
    I can't wait for a real good fry up
    I'm gettin' bored of microwave cookin'
    And you tellin' me how awful I'm lookin'
    Don't wanna hear how you gotta be thin
    Hey honey - I'm packin' you in!
    
    I don't wanna be the joke of the party
    I just wanna be back where I started
    I'm gettin' out before the goin' gets grim
    So hey honey - I'm packin' you in!
    Had enough of you hangin' round bars
    And crashin' up my favorite car
    Sick 'n' tired of this and that and ya askin' for favours
    And usin' up my brand new razors
    Don't want another cut on my chin
    Hey honey - I'm packin' you in!
    
    I don't wanna be the joke of the party
    I just wanna be back where I started
    I'm gettin' out before the goin' gets grim
    So hey honey - I'm packin' you in!
    
    No point in hangin' round with a restless heart
    Don't wanna let you down but I'm blowin' this town
    For a brand new start
    I want out - you want in
    Forget about that weddin' ring!
    
    Had enough of your hand in the til
    Sick 'n' tired of your credit card bills
    Get on back to your next of kin
    Hey honey..

    Can't Stop This Thing We Started
    
    You might stop a hurricane
    Might even stop the drivin' rain
    You might have a dozen other guys
    But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
    I'm goin' one way - your way
    It's such a strong way - let's make it our way
    
    Can't stop this thing we started
    You gotta know it's right
    Can't stop this course we've plotted
    This thing called love we got it
    No place for the brokenhearted
    Can't stop this thing we started - no way
    I'm goin' your way!
    You might stop the world spinnin' round
    Might even walk on holy ground
    I ain't Superman and I can't fly
    But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
    I'm goin' one way - your way
    It's such a strong way - let's make it our way
    
    Can't stop this thing we started
    You gotta know it's right
    Can't stop this course we've plotted
    This thing called love we got it
    No place for the brokenhearted
    Can't stop this thing we started - no way
    I'm goin' your way!
    
    Oh - why take it slow
    I gotta know 
    Nothing can stop this thing that we got

    Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven
    
    Love is forever - as I lie awake
    Beside you
    I believed - there's no heaven
    No hideaway - for the lonely
    
    But I was wrong - crazy
    It's gotta be strong
    It's gotta be right
    
    Only wanted to stay a while
    Only wanted to play a while
    Then you taught me to fly like a bird
    
    Baby - thought I'd died and gone to heaven
    Such a night I never had before
    Thought I'd died and gone to heaven
    Cause what I got there ain't no cure for
    
    Ooo it's so easy
    What you do to me all night angel
    I never loved - I swear to God
    Never needed no one, 'til you came along
    
    Here I come baby
    It's gotta be strong - it's gotta be right
    Only wanted to stay awhile 
    Only wanted to play awhile
    Then you taught me to fly like a bird
    
    Baby - thought I'd died and gone to heaven
    Such a night I never had before
    Thought I'd died and gone to heaven
    Cause what I got there ain't no cure for
    
    I feel fast asleep - I feel drunk
    I dream the sweetest dreams
    Never wanna wake up
    
    Never thought it could be this way
    No doubt about it - can't live without it
    Never thought it could be this good
    You made love to me - the way it oughta be

    Not Guilty
    
    Who are you to say that I'm wrong?
    Who are you to say I'm crazy?
    Ain't a crime of passion comin' on strong
    I'm only trying to treat ya like a lady
    And I can't help myself
    
    Do I have to prove my innocence?
    Don't need a lawyer with a fat degree
    Cause if lovin' you is against the law
    Then you better lock me up and throw away the key
    
    Oh gonna take it to the jury
    Oh gonna nail it to the wall
    Oh gonna fight I'm gonna prove it
    Oh so let the hammer fall
    
    I'm not guilty - baby I'm not
    I can't stop this feelin' I got
    I'm not guilty - cross my heart
    Not my fault if I'm fallin' apart
    But I'm alright Jack justa watchin' my back
    I'm not guilty - I'm not guilty
    
    Won't serve no sentence won't do no time 
    Won't cha listen to my plea
    Ya the verdict is I'm doin' fine
    Cause the love police are lookin' out for me
    
    Oh I'm gonna get a witness
    Oh I'm gonna write it on the wall
    Oh it's a dirty old business
    Oh ya let the hammer fall
    
    I'm not guilty - baby I'm not
    I can't stop this feelin' I got
    I'm not guilty - cross my heart
    Not my fault if I'm fallin' apart
    But I'm alright Jack justa watchin' my back
    I'm not guilty - I'm not guilty
    
    She'll break your heart she'll take your mind
    She'll steal your soul
    She's everything she's a schoolboy's dream
    She's rock 'n' roll
    She's a knockout combination
    It's a sticky situation

    Vanishing
    
    People all over build on solid ground
    They build it up and then they tear it down
    Take it or leave it who cares how much it costs
    They'll never know how much is gone until it's lost
    'til it's vanishing
    
    Think I hear thunder ain't no sign of rain
    Danger signs flashin' in my brain
    Ridin' on empty - lights are turnin' red
    There ain't no lovin' left in this empty bed
    Ya it's vanishing
    
    We're sittin' on treasure call it sacred ground
    Why look for more babe when it's right here to be found
    
    Never gonna lose ya - ya know I'm gonna fight
    This thing's worth saving girl - ya know we'll make it right
    
    If it takes all night - gonna swim your sea
    Gonna sail your ocean - gonna shake your tree
    Gonna climb your mountain - gonna shine your light
    Wanna row your river darlin' - if it takes all night
    
    People all over build mansions in the sky
    They choke on smoke and watch their dreams go by
    When the phone stops ringin' love has surely died
    But the grass is greener babe on the other side
    
    Never wanna lose ya - ya know I'm gonna fight 
    Never said it'd be easy girl - ya know we'll make it right 
    
    If it takes all night - gonna swim your sea
    Gonna sail your ocean - gonna shake your tree
    Gonna climb your mountain - gonna shine your light
    Wanna row your river darlin' - if it takes all night
    
    You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
    Whatcha gonna do without a shoulder to lean on
    You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
    Never wanna lose ya - ya know we gotta fight
    Never said it'd be easy girl - ya know we'll get it right..
    If it takes all night

    Do I Have to Say The Words?
    
    
    Rescue me from the mire
    Whisper words of desire
    Rescue me - darling rescue me
    With your arms open wide
    Want you here by my side

    When this world's closing in
    There's no need to pretend
    Set me free - darling rescue me

    So I'm standing in your way
    I never needed anyone like I'm needin' you today
    
    Do I have to say the words?
    Do I have to tell the truth?
    Do I have to shout it out?
    Do I have to say a prayer?
    Must I prove to you how good we are together?
    Do I have to say the words
    
    Rescue me from despair
    Tell me you will be there
    Rescue me - darlin' rescue me
    
    Every dream that we share
    Every cross that we bear
    Come to me - darlin' rescue me

    If you got your motor runnin' 
    Then I got my engines on
    Say the word and darlin' we'll be gone
    Outside the world is waitin'
    But we won't lose control
    So come on now - let the good times roll

    Kick off your shoes make yourself at home
    Wave your little wand - weave a little spell
    Make a little magic - raise some hell
    
    There will never be another tonight
    C'mon baby - hold on tight
    There will never be another tonight
    I don't care if it's wrong or right
    We got nothin' to lose just me and you
    In your wildest dreams...
    There'll never be another tonight
    
    Who cares about tomorrow
    Let the wind fill your sails
    A runaway train ridin' on the rails
    We got the bases loaded
    Home run - power play
    Tonight's the night we're goin' all the way
    
    You gotta ride your broom right into my room
    Kick off your shoes make yourself at home
    Wave your little wand - weave a little spell
    Make a little magic - raise some hell

    C'mon baby - hold on tight
    There will never be another tonight
    Flash your diamonds shine your lights
    There'll never be another tonight
    I don't care if it's wrong or right
    Cause we got nothin' to lose just me and you
    In your wildest dreams...
    There'll never be another tonight

    Depend on Me
    
    When you're losin' direction
    Baby you can depend on me
    For a little love and affection
    You can depend on me
    If ya feel brokenhearted and you just can't get started
    You can depend on me
    Ya know it's never easy and when you're feelin' blue
    There'll be times you feel so empty
    Ya sometimes I feel it too
    
    Like sister to brother - father to mother
    We live for each other - we're lover to lover
    As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion
    I'm forever open - can't you see
    Baby you can depend on me
    Depend on me - depend on me
    
    For someone to rely on and a shoulder to cry on
    You can depend on me
    If you're in need of some kindness
    And you can't seem to find it
    You can depend on me
    Well there ain't no need to worry you know we'll get along
    Those dark clouds may surround you
    But together we'll be strong
    
    Like sister to brother - father to mother
    We live for each other - we're lover to lover
    As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion
    I'm forever open - can't you see
    Baby you can depend on me
    Depend on me - depend on me
    
    Your love is a guiding light
    I've been watchin' it shine - shine on baby
    When hard times are all around
    And there's miles and miles of dirty road - depend on me
    There's no need to carry that heavy load - depend on me
    When hope is gone and all is lost
    Just reach out - take my hand
    I'll be there - I'll be your man
    Depend on me

    You can�t tell me it�s not worth dyin� for
    You know it�s true
    Everything I do - I do it for you
    
    Look into my heart - you will find
    There�s nothin� there to hide
    Take me as I am - take my life
    I would give it all I would sacrifice

    I can�t help it there�s nothin� I want more
    Ya know it�s true
    Everything I do - I do it for you
    
    There�s no love - like you love
    And no other - could give more love
    There�s nowhere - unless you�re there

    If You Wanna Leave Me (Can I Come Too?)
    
    You can't stand still for a moment
    You can't stand still for a night
    Your feet just starta move when it's boring
    But you gotta stick around to get it right
    So get it right
    You can't find love in the kitchen
    You walk the dark side of the street
    You can't find any hope in religion
    Ya gotta feel the road under your feet
    
    I'm gonna shed a little light
    I'm gonna love ya every night
    We'll get it right - get it right!
    
    If you wanna leave me can I come too
    If you wanna leave me gonna go with you
    If you say no - I'm still gonna go
    If you wanna leave me - can I come too?
    
    You try 'n keep dry in the water
    You try 'n keep cool in the fire
    The politics of love are getting harder
    So grab a hold, take my hand, we'll take it higher!

    Touch The Hand
    
    Stand up - if ya wanna fight
    I'm tellin' all the women - stand up for your rights
    If ya wanna wear the trousers - you wanna act like a man
    I'd love to trade ya places - love to be your thang
    I'd do all the shopping - collect you favorite suit
    Press all the laundry - polish all your boots
    And if you brought me flowers - I'd meet you at the door
    Have your dinner ready - your slippers on the floor
    And when day turns to night and you feel alright
    And I turn out the lights
    
    Touch the hand of the man who'll make ya woman 
    Touch the hand of the man who'll make it right
    Touch the hand of the man who'll make ya woman
    Cause when day turns to night and you feel alright
    And I turn out the lights
    
    Stand up - it's alright
    Love to play the woman - love to play your wife
    Light you favorite cigarette - pour your favorite drink
    Wear your best apron - wash the dishes in the sink
    Get your shaving lotion - turn the shower on
    Warm up your bathrobe - keep my baby warm
    Read ya bedtime stories - while you take a nap
    Turn on the TV - put out the cat
    But when day turns to night and you feel alright
    And I turn out the lights..

    Don't Drop That Bomb on Me
    
    We sailed our ships upon the shores
    That once were out of reach
    Turned the silence into war and bloodied up the beach
    Trashed the forests and the trees
    Til there's nothin' left to cut
    We raped the rivers and the seas and turned the land to dust
    It goes on and on
    On and on...
    
    Does anybody know what's goin' on
    Can anybody tell me where we went wrong
    Can anyone say why wrong is right 
    If we wanna little peace well we got to fight
    
    Can anyone say things are lookin' good
    Just take a look around your neighbourhood
    The world's gone crazy
    
    Crash-we can fight it
    Crash-we gotta try
    Crash-we can't hide it
    We gotta stop that fire
    
    Don't drop that bomb on me
    Save that little tree
    Don't drop that bomb on me
    Save our seven seas
    Don't drop it, don't drop it
    Don't drop that bomb on me
    
    Should every thing thing have a life to give
    Will every little child have a place to live
    Does anybody feel just a little bit scared
    Isn't it about time everybody cared
    The world's gone crazy
    
    Crash-we can fight it
    Crash-we gotta try
    Crash-we can't hide it
    We gotta stop that fire
    
    Don't drop that bomb on me
    Save that little tree
    Don't drop that bomb on me
    Save our seven seas
    Don't drop it, don't drop it
    Don't drop that bomb on me
    
    If ya gonna talk that talk
    Ya gotta walk that walk
    If ya gonna fly that flag
    Ya gotta shake a leg
    Ya everybody should try
    Cause we're much too young to die
