LYRICS

Used to be a free man / Now I'm a slave to my desire
Used to play it cool / Now I can't put out the fire
You got me under your spell / Your magic worked on me
There's a chain wrapped around my heart / And now I can't find the key

Lord knows I've sinned / And the punishment fits the crime
Girl, you let me in / And now I'm doin' time

I'm a Prisoner / Captured by your love
I'm a Prisoner
I can't escape, I can't break free / Can't you see what you're doin' to me
I'm a Prisoner / You've got me

Don't need no Savior / I just need you every knight
No time off for good behavior / Just keep me on the inside
Lock me up, baby / Throw away the key
Lock me up, baby / Never set me free

Here I am
Searching for a better way to play this fucking game we play
There you stand
Hearing words I never say - wishing I would go away

Knock down, drag-it-out / But still, I know
Baby, we can work it out / Why we got to go

Round & round the circle
Round & round we go
Round & round the circle
Where we stop, no one knows

One more time
Hit me with your best shot, baby, I'll hit you with mine
Draw the line
Don't you cross it, baby, stay on your side

No one's gonna win this fight
Baby, this could take all night
I can think of better things to do than go round & round with you

I've seen your face before / It's like a window in an open door
And I can see by your eyes that you recognize me
So wy do you turn away?
There's no need to be afraid

It's only natural to run from things that you don't know
And Mama gave you good advice so many years ago
She said, "Don't talk to strangers, they'll lead you to danger" / So many times it's true
My Mother told me, too

Never fall in love with a stranger
Mama said a long time ago
Never say a word to a stranger
But all we have to do is say "Hello"
And we won't be strangers anymore

I don't even know your name / But I'd like to learn it, just the same
'Though it's just a word, I'll say it - If it were a song, I'd play it
Over and over again
You know, I never listened when she said....

I guess you had someplace to go / Someone to meet, someone you already know
Gone for now, but that's o.k. / Our paths may cross again someday
You never know
If we'd only said hello

Money talks, but I can't hear a word
Now, what did you say?
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, or so I have heard
But what do they deserve?

Take one step forward, fall two steps behind
Always getting nowhere fast
Leave the good things, don't waste your time
'Cause the good things never last

Money burns a hole in your pocket
Love will burn a hole in your heart
Nothing goes the way that you want it
It cuts you down and tears you apart
It's just the way of the world

Hearts break, like glass, they shatter
Hold a glass in your hand - don't let it fall
Spill the wine, never mind - it's the glass that matters
After all

You're moving forward, but you're looking behind
Always living in the past
Leave the good things, don't waste your time
'Cause the good things never last

You're looking for love / She's not the loving kind
She'll burn a hole in your heart / and the she'll leave you behind

If I walked a hundred miles in my neigbor's shoes
I'd find out what I already know: my neigbor's got the blues
He's a lot like you and me - sometimes he don't know what to do
He needs a light to help him see between the lies and the truth

People!
Everybody's trying to get it right

It's a hard life, but someone's got to live it
I've got a feeling it's gonna be alright
It's a hard life, but I know I'm gonna give it
Everything I've got tonight

I've got me a losing streak about a half a mile wide
I'm always playing hide & seek with the feelings I have inside
Should I stand, should I fight, should I try to make things right - Or should I run and hide?
It's a game we play, every day, each and every way - I hope the future's on our side

I've got you in my sights / Don't try to put up a fight
I take aim and fire at will / And when I shoot, I shoot to kill

I dig the way you shake that thing / Oh, baby, love can sting
It's the same thing every night / Beware of the dog, he bites

Get ready / I'm comin' to get you, baby
Get ready / I'm comin' your way

Can you feel the heat?
It's got you beat
Your love is Bittersweet

Get used to getting burned / It's a part of the game
You can't have the fire / If you don't touch the flame

Sugar and spice makes everything nice
But love can burn as cold as ice
Trick or treat, smell my feet
Give me something good to eat
Give me something Bittersweet

She's got a look in her eye sayin', "Gimme a try" / Always gets her way
Sayin', "Come on, baby, don't be shy / We ain't got all day"
She'll take you on a midnight ride / Everybody knows
There ain't nothing she won't try / You know that anything goes

She's lookin' you up, and lookin' you down / You sweat beneath her gaze
Maybe next time around / You'll know what to say
She's got a way to make a grown man cry / Everybody knows
There ain't nothing she won't try / You know that anything goes

She's hot! She's got it all
And you know, and everybody knows
She's hot! She's got it all
And you know anything goes

You know - anything goes
You know - anything goes
You know - anything goes

She's got you up in the clouds all night
And she must be doing something right
She's got your heart on a string, got just about everything
She's got everything, Oh!

I'm tired of waiting / You're playing with my head
Anticipating / Hanging by a thread

You gotta let me know / I'm tired of taking it slow
I'm ready to go / You gotta let me know

It ain't easy waiting on your emotion
It ain't easy living in slow motion

I can't take it / Have you heard a word I've said?
I just wanna make it / But I might as well be dead

Dirty laundry / I've got the dirt on you
Dirty language / "Wash your mouth out with soap, young man!"
Talk dirty to me / Say those things I love to hear
Dirty jokes make me grin from ear to ear

I've got a dirty mind / And we'll have a dirty time
A good man is hard to find / Better off with the dirty kind

Looking for something new
I've got a trick or two up my sleave
We'll toss a coin - heads or tails
Tails to kick, heads to receive

Oh, I'm ready to go / It's time to cross that line
Oh, I'm ready to go / so leave the shine behind
And do the dirty-butt grind

They said you were bad news, I had to find out on my own
Why couldn't I just leave it alone
I was the next in line, but now I've done my time
Now I'm on my way back home

Baby, baby, it's over / The story has come to an end
Baby, baby, a broken heart doesn't take long to mend

When there's no love lost / But the love we've found
No love lost / What goes around comes around

You hurt me so many times, it don't hurt me anymore
Now it's time to hit the door
Find somebody new that you can break in two
Isn't that what love is for?

Walk all over me - I can take it
I'll be there when the morning comes...

Feed me a thousand lines I've heard before
Don't want to hear it anymore
Just put out the light, and don't say another word tonight
Let me show you what darkness is for

My love is growing / Who could ask for more?
My love is growing / Don't want to talk no more

Lock the door / Don't want to talk no more
Lock the door / Lovin' you more and more and more

Use your lips for talking, that's alright by me
But will they get you where you want to be?
Words can soothe, and words can fight, but if you want my love tonight
Lock the door and throw away the key

Welcome to the land of opportunity
We'll keep you coming back for more
Satisfaction is our guarantee
'Cause opportunity don't knock, it breaks down the door

Temptation - Just a word you can't resist
Got to have your cake and eat it, too
Temptation - Go ahead, I insist
You can't say know, it's got a hold, got a hold on you!

It's all around you / Nothing you can do
Frustration - Gotta keep it all inside
Such a sweet sensation - Nowhere you can hide

Temptation - You can't get away
Temptation - Nothing you can say
Temptation - Better look the other way
Temptation - 'Cause you can't stop half way

If your eye offends you
Pluck it out, throw it away
Better off with one good eye
Than with two that go astray

You want it / Can't say no
Really need it / Can't say no
Got to have it / Can't say no
Can't say no

Baby, never made no promises
Never told you no lies
I don't know when to say "Hello"
Or when to say "Goodbye"

There's a man in me that wants you to stay
There's a man in me that wants you to go
And "Goodbye" ain't the only way
But it's the only way I know

My heart don't know if it's hot or cold
Can't tell the night-time from the day
There's a dark cloud hanging in my mind and in my soul
"Rain, rain, go away!"

Now the lights are coming on, and I can see
Something's going wrong between you and me
There's a voice in my ear, said I should stay
And another voice said "Goodbye" is the only way

So baby, goodbye
Baby, I've really got to go
No matter how hard I try, baby, "Goodbye"
Is the only way I know

I see you coming from a mile away / Cat woman, bearing her claws
Life's a game and you're ready to play / Let's call it a draw
The way you smile so innocently / There aught to be a law

I know you think you've got me fooled / But I can see through your disguise
You've got the face of an angel, baby / But the devil is in your eyes
My heart's in grave danger / I won't get out alive

It's a crime / Some people get away with murder
It's a crime / But you won't get away this time
It's a crime

You got your hand on a smoking gun / I'm shot between the eyes
I can't believe that you're just having fun / While I'm being victimized
You're public enemy #1 / I know I won't survive

Your guilty in the first degree / Look what you've done to me
No, you won't get away this time / It's a crime

It's a crime / The way you stole this heart of mine
Ooh, baby, it's a crime
It's a crime / The way you hurt me every time
Ooh, baby, it's a crime

If you wanna get to heaven, you've got to play it cool
If you wanna go to hell, you've got to break some rules
If you wanna take a chance, it's now or never
If you wanna dance, you've got to get together

If you wanna hit the big time, spread the word around
If you want the dotted line, you've got to lay your money down
If you wanna live the good life, you've got to make it better
If you wanna party, you've got to get together

If you wanna get together, lay your party down

If you wanna make a difference, you've got to break the ice
If you need some assistance, take my advice
If you want to have a good time, you should know better
If you wanna party, you've got to get together

I try to quit you, baby, 'cause you know I should
Oh girl, I wish I could
You hit me, hurt me, beat me, bruise me, tie me up and use me
Oh baby, you're no good

They say, "Just say no", but I can't say "No"
'Cause I'm too busy saying, "Yeah!"

Eyes of fire, heart of stone / Still, I can't leave you alone
Eyes of fire, heart of stone / You're a bad addiction

I try to kick the habit, but girl, you wrap me up
Don't you know you fit me like a glove
Once I've got a drop of you running through my blood
Baby, I can't get enough

If users are losers, well I guess I lose
Oh girl, I'm hooked on you

Can't get my life on track
I'm a junkie, and that's a fact
Oh, you're a monkey on my back
