I WANT ACTION LIFE GOES ON (FLESH & BLOOD) SACRIFICE CRY TOUGH YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE SO TELL ME WHY SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN SEXUAL THING LAY YOUR BODY DOWN
Intro:
Oh Bret, I just can't wait to get my hands all over you
Hit it, C.C.
Solo
You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
the way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes I do
You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
wait to see me too
I gotta touch you
Chorus:
'Cause baby we'll be
at the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
til I'm screamin' for more
Down in the basement
Lock the cellar door
And, baby
talk dirty to me
You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
so I can hear you
When you say those words to me
and whisper so softly
I gotta hear you
Chorus
C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me
Solo
Chorus
Now listen
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make thru the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
but right now I can't make ends meet
Pre-Chorus:
I'm always workin', slavin' everyday
Gotta get a break from the same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say
Chorus:
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't looking for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this
They say I spend my money on women and wine
I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm real sorry 'bout the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
You see I raise a toast to all of us
who are breaking our backs every day
If wanting the good life is such a crime
Lord then put me away
Solo
ChorusX3
What's got you so jumpy
Why can't you sit still
Like gasoline you wanna pump me
Then leave me when you get your fill ya
Pre-Chorus:
Every time I touch you, you get hot
I want to make love, you never stop
Come up for air you pull me to the floor
Just what's been going on in that head of yours
Chorus:
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just loves to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say
You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting oh so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
Am I just another word on your page, ya, ya
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
You're saying my love won't do ya
But that ain't love written on your face
Well honey I can see right through ya
We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race
Solo
What's right, what's wrong, what's left, what the hell is going on
Chorus
We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
we feel miles apart in sight
Was it something I said
or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Chorus:
Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has it's thorn
I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
easy come and easy go
But I wonder, does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could of let you known somehow, I guess
Chorus
Though it's been awhile now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
Solo
I know I could have saved our love that night
if I'd only let you know
Instead of making love
We both made our separate ways
Now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see cuts me like a knife
Chorus
She step off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't shine as
bright as they did
on her mama's TV screen
And work seemed harder
the days seemed longer
then she ever thought they'd be
But you know you gotta stick to your guns
when it all comes down
'Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like head they win, tails you're gonna lose
Chorus:
Win big, mama's fallen angel
Lose big, livin' out her lies
What's it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life
Now she found herself in the fast lane
livin' day to day
Turned her back on her bestfriend, yeah
And watched her family slip away
Just like a lost soul
caught up in the Hoolywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress
Hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame
Just a step away from the edge of the fall
Caught between Heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago?
Chorus
Too much too soon
or just a little too late
'Cause when her ship came in
she wasn't there
it just wouldn't wait
Solo
Chorus
Late at night I close my eyes
and think how things could've been
And when I look back
I remember some words you had said to me
It's better to have lost at love
then never to loved at all
Chorus:
I won't forget you baby
even though I could
I won't forget you baby
even though I should
Sometimes in my head, I can still see pictures of you
And I laugh to myself
when I think of all those crazy things we used to do
Although miles come between us
Just between you and me
Chorus
I should let you fade away
but that just wouldn't be me
Oh baby
Chorus
Hearts of fire
Streets of stone
Modern warriors
Saddle iron horses of chrome
Taste the wild
Lick the wind
Like something they never saw before
Their jaws dropping to the floor
Steel made of soul and sin
Rebels born without a care
And the day he listens
Only to fly where eagles dare
And the nights she whispers
Chorus:
Ride the wind never coming back
Until I touch the midnight sun-
Until I touch the midnight sun
Ride the wind never coming back again-
Ride the wind never coming back
Until I touch the midnight sun
Painted flesh
Loyalty
Humble pride
Just as far as the eye can see
Stories told
Two old friends
Of battle scars and lonely bars
And nights the rain wouldn't end
Here's to withered eyes wearing gypsy smiles
And the day he listens
Here's to lovely ladies and a million miles
And the night she whispers
Chorus
Solo
Of all the truths and lies
And stories of riders in the sky
They say only the bravest try
Where eagles and angels dare to fly
Chorus
We all carry the cross
And speak what we're taught
Lies and money
Become the white man's God
We've burned all our bridges
One too many times
The time has come now to draw the line
Chorus:
You know you got to
Stand, stand, stand for what you believe
You know you've got to
Stand, stand, stand for what you believe
Ohh, you got to...stand for what you believe
Alright, alright
You got to listen now
Express yourself in the face of change
Repress yourself, you surely seal your fate
You got to look inside, the answer lies in wait
Resurrect before it's too late
Chorus
Somebody rescue me
Come down and rescue me
I know the soul of a good man
Has got to be free
When you stand, stand for what you believe
Solo
Chorus
I went to bed too late
and got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin'
from too much booze
I got a foot in the gutter
a foot in the grave
I ain't seen home
in the last three days
Chorus:
Oh my God! Look what the cat dragged in
Living my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my God! Look what the cat dragged in
No tell, motel, hotel bed
If it wasn't for the sunlight
I'd swear I was dead
I got a girl on the left of me
a girl on the right
I know damn well,
I slept with both last night
Chorus
I'm late for work on Monday
and my boss is bitching
Can't get out of bed
'cause my head's still spinning
My hairs in a rat's nest
I look like hell
Am I half alive or half dead?
I just can't tell
Chorus
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
I grab my hat and I
grab my shoes
Tonight I'm gonna hit
the streets and cruise
Down the main strip and
check it out
With all those schoolgirls
a hangin' around
Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face
I don't care if she's leather or lace
'cause I'm just lookin' for a kiss
Chorus:
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight
Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts
I can't wait to get my hands on them
I won't give up til they give in
Now I'm not looking for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I can't have her, I'll take and make her
Chorus
Solo
Hey Sweetheart, slide on in here
No, not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
'Cause there's something back there I wanna show ya
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
Ah, come on honey, I wasn't that bad!
Oh well
Chorus
I felt this before now I feel it again
No matter how hard I try this feeling won't end
So I pretend you're here by my side
Tonight on this lonely ride
I keep telling myself that
Chorus:
Life goes on while you're miles away and I need you
Time rolls on as night steals the day
And there's nothing I can do
You healed up my wounds I tasted your tears
You spilled out your heart so I let out my fears
But one fear I kept to myself
How I prayed that you loved no one else
Like you're saying you love me
Chorus
If you only knew how much I miss you
Solo
When my mind plays it's tricks on me
It shows me things I don't want to see
That's why I tell myself
I keep telling myself
Just take another piece of me
Chorus
Love goes on while you're miles away and I miss you
And this last mile I travel with you
Like animals tonight we make it
You give me an inch I'm gonna take it
I'll steal your love like a thief
To be as one is my belief
Don't look back have no regrets
Like beasts of prey we must feed on it
I'll be your one your one and only
To feel me burn come close and hold me
Chorus:
Flesh and blood sacrifice
melts the heart like fire to ice
Flesh and blood like fire to ice
Are you willing to sacrifice?
There's no more time don't think about
The flame will die if you doubt
It's a game of love and hate
To lose it all is a chance we take
Come to me and take my hand
It's in the fire that we must stand
I'll take you down under my gun
Our flesh and blood will be as one
Chorus
Our blood runs deeper than a river
The less you need the more I'm gonna give you
And give you but good
Solo
Chorus
Remember the nights we sat
and talked about all our dreams
Well little did we know then
they were more distant than they seemed
Well I knew it
And you knew it too
The things we'd go through
We knew the things we had to do
to make it, baby
Chorus:
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make all come true
Life ain't no easy ride
At least that's what I'm told
Sometimes the rainbow baby
is better than the pot of gold
You've got to stick it out
whether you're wrong or right
And you can't give in without a fight
to make it baby
Chorus
You gotta aim high baby
whether you lose or win
And when you get to the top
You gotta get off or go right back down again
Solo
Chorus
Chorus:
Your mama don't dance
and your daddy don't rock-n-roll
Your mama don't dance
and your daddy don't rock-n-roll
But when evening rolls around
and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go?
You gotta rock it
The old folks say that you gotta end your
date by ten
But if your out on a date
don't ya bring her home late
'cause it's a sin
You know there's no excuse
You know you're gonna lose,You never win
I'll say it again
Chorus
You see I pulled into a drive-in
and I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat
where it's always nice and dark
Just about to move
Thinking to myself
mmm, Bret this is a breeze
There was a light in my eye and a guy says
"Get out of the car long hair
Ooowee, you're comin' with me",
said the local police
And it's all because
Chorus
Play me a little C.C.
Solo
Chorus
I'd like to put to test the rumours
I'd like to put to rest the lies
I'd like to throw away the past
And show you how I feel inside
I'll be your taxi and your driver
I'll be your road if you need
I'd like to push and push and push
Just to make you pleased
But your river of emotion for me
Flows like a dried up stream
Chorus:
So tell me why
your satisfactions like a heart of stone
So tell me why
your love reaction chills me to the bone
You make my blood boil hot
And my heart beat like a drum
I wanna do to you girl
Things that ain't never been done
From the rain I'll be your shelter
From the cold I'll be your heat
I push and push and push
Just to make you pleased
Chorus
So tell me your reason
For tearing me up inside
Girl you gotta tell me why
Solo
But your river of emotion for me
Flows like a dried up stream
Chorus
Well I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the promised land
He tells me believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But Lord I think he sinned, ya, ya
Twenty two years of metal tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country did not want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife, his kids no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cries forgive me for what I done there
Forgive me for the things I did
Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
Give me something to believe in
Oh Lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
and they told me the news
i tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on my wall
Sees my smile, it fades again
Chorus
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then
Road you gotta take me home
Solo
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
like bodies in an open grave
Underneath an old broken down neon sign,
use to read Jesus Saves
A mile away live the rich folk
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich drink from the golden cup
And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win
ChorusX3
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
Chorus
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
Chorus
You take the low road and I'll take the low road
Chorus
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in
Laughing
Jam blues man
There you lay all by yourself
So please allow me to introduce myself
I welcome you to the house of sin
Open your mind and let the games begin
I'm your lust and I'm your greed
I'm every sick thought that you ever done dreamed
Eaten your cake now you want some more
Mmm, where have I heard that before?
CHORUS
I am your
I am your
I'm just your sexual thing
I am your
I am your
I'm just your sexual thing
Ain't nothin' but a sexual
It's just a sexual thing
Lying there you look so horny
Talk is cheap and startin' to bore me
Hold me close and tell me it feels so good
But damn, girl, you knew it would
CHORUS
SOLO
Glad to have met you
So please that you've come
But I must be moving on
My work here is done
Best believe me you, child
The pleasure's been all mine
If you're in need, please do indeed
Call me anytime
CHORUS
They've got you medicated
It's got you so frustrated
He caught you masturbatin'
You rather be fornicating
Well then you come with me
I'm gonna set you free.
It's just a sexual
Ain't nothin' but a sexual
It's just a sexual thing
What you've just witnessed is a sexual fantasy
Please don't try these tricks
At home
I've spent my life waiting
For that famous final scene
I believe you know the one
When she falls in love with me
As for you, you've been faking your smile
Fillin' your time
On small talk
And cheap wine
Knowing in your heart there was some place
That you'd rather be
So right or wrong
I wrote you this song
To tell you how I feel
Don't put up a fight
You just turn off the lights
Walk over here to me
CHORUS:
And lay your body down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
Let your tears fall down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
As for me, I've lied to, denied to
Fight with and tried to
Apologize for all my ways
To all the woman who were fool enough
To fall in love with me
You played your role
Like a movie
Got your lines for who is,
Who was, who would be
Some how you lost track
While real love slipped away, yeah
So for tonight, just turn off the lights
And let those real feelings show
There's no wrong or right
But until you try
You're never gonna know
CHORUS
Before you where mine
I was so lonely
Ain't it a shame
Your heart must feel pain
Before you get back on your feet again
SOLO
So let's draw the blinds
Forget wasted time
And let them old demons die
Take a hold of my hand
Then you'd understand
Why loves worth
One more try
CHORUS
