1. DANCIN' ALONE

On a boulevard in Paris
I met a good old friend of mine
"Come on over to my place
Bring yourself and a bottle of wine"
So I put on my leathers
And I tried to look my best
But I was apprehensive
I noticed I was the only guest
It was then I witnessed
Something I'd never seen
Some satisfaction
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Listen

There's a white house in Georgia
Down the Mason-Dixon line
They got Kentucky Derby winners there
They got a Lear jet parked outside
Yeah but every Friday weekend
When the big tom cat's away
You'll find the plantation shakin'
By the butler and the upstairs maid
Don't need no money, diamonds or cadillacs
To get all the satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone

Don't you worry
'Bout the problems of the human race
Get some satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone baby
Listen to this
At a hot spot in Texas
On an endless Friday night
I was listenin' to Waylon and Willie
When a cowgirl passed my sights
And I took a look in the mirror
To make sure that my head was screwed on
I was feeling rejected
But I wasn't going home
In a moment of a rash decision
I threw myself right on the floor
I did a backflip and somersault
Yeah, the crowd called for more
So if you're tired of watching
Being left on the shelf
Get your satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone baby


2. BABY JANE

Baby Jane don't leave me hanging on the line
I knew you when you had no one to talk to
Now you're moving in high society
Don't forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
But now I'm no longer sure
I wish I knew what I know now before

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane don't it make you feel sad
Just when I thought that we were winning
You and I were so close in every way
Don't time fly when you're loving and laughing
I've said goodbye so many times
The situation ain't all that new
Optimism's my best defense
I'll get through without you

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it's gotta last forever
When I fall in love again
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane i've said all I want to say
Go your own way don't think twice about me
Cause i've got ideas and plans of my own
So long darlin' i'll miss you believe me
The lesson learned was so hard to swallow
But I know that i'll survive
I'm gonna take a good look at myself and cry

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
When I fall in love next time
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it'll last forever


3. MOVE ME

It's obvious darlin'
You've become allergic to me
Are my trousers to wide
Do I drink and get mean
Is my demeanor that embarrassing
Are my jokes obsolete
Or is it my sweat that's no longer sweet
I work hard in the factory
To keep you in luxury
To which you've grown accustomed and you love
Lately you don't light my fuse
Is my fan belt coming loose
Punch me in the Bible baby please
Move me, move me, move me when I'm home
Why don't you move me, move me
Move me when I'm home

Sometimes baby I awake in the night
I reach out to touch you
But I'm scared you might bite
A little emotion wouldn't be out of place
Wake up and love me put a smile on my face
Otis Redding said it best "try a little tenderness"
Aretha wanted more "Respect"
Give me just a little touch
That ain't really asking much
Your dog gets more attention than I do
Move me, move me, move me when I'm home
Come on and move me, move me, move me when I'm home

Sometimes I wonder if you'll miss me at all
Emotionally independent, as hard as a wall
You're so wrapped up in your own little world
Your old time religion is your lunch with the girls
When I'm standing next to you even in a crowd
I might as well be on another planet
Tell me what i've done to you to justify this ridicule
If it's over why don't we forget it
Move me, soothe me, move me, rock me
Move me when I'm home
Why don't you move me, love me, move me, rock me
Move me when I'm home
Why don't you rock me, move me, love me, soothe me
Move me when I'm home
Why don't you rock me, rock me, move me, soothe me
Soothe me when I'm home


4. BODY WISHES

The night closes in on another day
As the oldest game's gettin' underway
On the minds of a million people body wishes
So you climb on the carousel and take a chance
The same old ritual the same old dance
The hardest thing to resist is body wishes
If the fire down below's gettin worse and worse
You're so close to shootin' that you want to burst
Somebody's sponge needs squeezin' body wishes

What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
Won't solve the problem
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes

Away in the distance a baby cries
But you know somebody's by her side
The night drags on forever body wishes
You can hear the tickin' of a lonely clock
The howlin' wind that just won't stop
Somebody's cherries need pickin' body wishes

What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
Won't solve the problem

It'll tear you apart like an angry sea
Keep you warm like a summer breeze
It's all we've got in a cold cold world
Is to love someone
Body wishes, body wishes

Somethings happenin' in the air
It feels so close but you don't know where
The poorest people's riches body wishes
And the cheatin' hearts never learn
Someday somewhere gonna be your turn
Don't start what you can't finish body wishes

What do I say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do I go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do I tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
That won't solve the problem
Where do I run
Anywhere that'll hide ya
Who'll be the one
Yeah
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes


5. SWEET SURRENDER

You come to me with open arms
Trying to rectify my charms
You say tonight I'm to be your lover
And by the morning light I'm to discover
Everything that you've held inside of you
What's a man like me supposed to do
Sweet oh sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender

You tell me that you're lonely and you're sad
And tonight I'm to be your only man
You wear those things that turn my head
You ruffle my ego but not my bed
Seems like summer when you're close at hand
If I seem eager then you'll understand
Sweet, sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender

Heart is tired and full of doubt
Now you've sucked me in don't spit me out
Lay your head down next to mine
And in each others arms we'll entwine
Look me straight in the eyes and tell me
Between your heart and mind I see
Sweet oh sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender


6. AM I GONNA DO (I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU)

Can I tell you what you mean to mean
You're as central as the air I breathe
Almost impossible to believe that you're mine
You're like weekends all year long
Under a hot Jamaican sun
You are a winner at a hundred to one
Yes you are

Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees honey

What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away

One in a million oh so rare
A nightengale in Berkeley Square
And baby I ain't goin' nowhere without you
You are the goal that wins the game
The very last bus home in the rain
You're like rock and roll and champagne
All in one

Something you've got is something I need right now
Let's not mess around any more
I'm down on my bended knees honey

What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away

I'll be a sleek one of a kind
And so difficult to define
I could drink a case of you any time

The Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower
A national anthem an April shower
Tomorrow's fashion and now i've found you
I'm complete

Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees honey

What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away

I'm like a schoolboy in your hands
I wanna get up and sing and dance
You see one hell of a happy man standing here

Individually quite unique
You really swept me off my feet
And baby you look oh so neat
With nothing on


7. GHETTO BLASTER

This song ain't meant to be pretty
It ain't meant to make you dance
There's so many unsolved problems
Too many empty, angry hands
A little child in Ethiopia
Will die before this song is through
Poor eyes have only seen sadness
Oh God show us what to do

I'm not preaching, I'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, I think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Take us to your leader
Think about it

A billion dollars on the arms race
Billions floating round in space
OPEC's counting out it's money
Hunger stares us in the face
The battlefield is little children
Caught in a cross fire of hate
How can we call ourselves Christians
How can we turn the other way

I'm not preaching, I'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, I think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Listen to what they're sayin'
Take us to your leader
Think about it

Nostradamus gave us warning
You will never walk away
One neutron bomb in the morning
May just ruin your whole day

I'm not preaching, I'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, I think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Listen to what they're sayin'
Take us to your leader
Take us to your leader


8. READY NOW

I gave trust like an innocent kid
I believed everything you said
A parasite that fed on doubt
Yeah it's you that I'm talking about
You rode heavy on my fame
Then you scandalized my name
You robbed me blind with a ( )
You lacerated your closest friend
I don't know how you sleep at
Night with your conscience
Do they still kiss your feet
And is life as sweet in my absence

I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live

I don't want no sweet revenge
It'll come and get you in the end
Laugh now while the truth's unknown
Cause pretty soon it'll be my turn
One of these days and it won't be long
I will find you
Lock up your gates
You'll need all of your snakes
To defend you

I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live

I'm bitter now, but wait and see
You ain't heard the last of me
I'll dance on your grave
When they finally put you away
What'd I do to deserve all this evil attention
A thousand years will never buy you redemption

Are you ready now, ready now for what you gotta give
Are you ready now, ready now for how you gotta give
Are you ready


9. STRANGERS AGAIN

Here we go babe putting each other down
I don't know how long this love will last
If we keep kicking it around
We threaten each other with leaving
Neither one of us giving in
We're walking on thin ice baby
I don't wanna see it end

And oh i've never let any woman this close to me
Don't let me down
Put in some trust don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go

I can't stand the silence
When we don't get along
Both of us believing
That the other must surely be wrong
So strange how two people
Can be so very cruel
Both of us should know by now
Neither one's the other one's fool

And oh i've never let any woman this close to me
So don't let me down
Put in some trust don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go

Oh i've never let any woman this close to me
So don't let me down
Why don't ya put in some trust
Don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
Strangers again
I don't know what happened
Strangers again
Yesterday was full of passion
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go


10. SATISFIED

It's a common misconception
About a man's role in this world
A provider and survivor and
A winner who must never fail
But oh how he needs a woman
To reassure and give him strength
Through the darkest nights
And the hardest fights
When there's no other corner left
When the world outside is threatening
And all his dreams have been destroyed
Take him in your arms watch all his guards
Melt like a little boy

Tell him you really need him
Tell him you really care
Tell him you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied

And he may not find it easy
To say what's on his mind
When he's full of doubt
Say "we'll work it out"
God knows how hard he's trying
And he may never buy you roses
And forget to notice your hair
But as long as he says "I love you my dear"
That's all you need to hear

Tell him you really need him
Tell him you'll aways care
Tell him you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied

And they say the heart's a hunter
But it's truth you can't deny
He may never be everything you want
But for you he'd lay down and die
So Friday night when the phone rings
And he's stuck in a downtown bar
Roll away the stone
Cause the last mile home
Is the longest mile of them all

Tell him you really need him
Tell him you'll always care
Tell him you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied
Tell him you really want him
Tell him you understand
And tell him that you love him
He'll be satisfied
