2. WHY CAN'T THIS BE LOVE

Whoa, here it comes
That funny feelin' again windin'
Me up inside
Every time we touch
Hey, I don't know
Oh, tell me where to begin
'Cause I never ever
Felt so much. Hey!

An' I can't recall any love at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from my heart oh tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

I tell myself,
"Hey! Only fools rush in" an' only
Time will tell
If we stand the test of time
All I know
You've got to run to win an' I'll
Be damned if
I'll get hung up on the line. Hey!

No, I can't recall any thing at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

Woo! It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
You want it straight from the heart oh, tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

Woo! It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from the heart, oh tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

Baby, why can't this be love?
Got to know why can't this
Be love?
I wanna know why can't this
Be love?


3. GET UP

Wow!

Feel like throwin' in the towel?
Don't be a fool
They're out to knock you out n' put you down for the count
Hey, watch the left, watch the right
Below the belt

Uh! They'll run run run you round and round
It's plain to see
It's never gonna stop
They'll run you til you d-d-d-drop
There ain't no power 'round
Can't keep a good man down

Ah, there's still some fight in me
That's how it'll always be
Hold your head up high, look 'em in the eye
Never say die

Ow! Get up and make it work (Make it work)
Get up. Get up and make it work

You say that love has got you down
Well that's bullshit
Yeah, if this love has got you down
Then love can pick you right back up
There ain't no power 'round
Can't keep a good man down

Walkin' down a dead-end street
Yeah, no mercy at your feet
They're holdin' all the cards
Makin' things so hard, 'fore it goes too far. Kick it

Ow! Get up and make it work (Make it work)
Ow! Get up. Get up and make it work

Wow!

Get up and make it work (Make it work)
Ow! Get up. Get up and make it work

Feel like throwin' in the towel?
Don't be a fool
Hey, they're out to knock you out n'
Keep you down for the count
Now, watch the left, watch the right
Below the belt

Yeah, there's still some fight in me
That's how it'll always be
Hold your head up high, look 'em in the eye
Never say die!

Just, get up and make it work
Uh! Get up (Get up) make it work (Make it work)
Come on get up make it work (Make it work)
Get up!
Ow!


4. DREAMS

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin' down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby, just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

Run, run, run away
Like a train runnin' off the track
Got the truth bein' left behind
Falls between the cracks
Standin' on broken dreams
Never losin' sight, ah
Well just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

Yeah, we'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Oh, we'll get higher and higher
Who knows what we'll find?

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby, we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

And in the end on dreams we will depend
'Cause that's what love is made of

6. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

I don't know what I've been livin' on, but
It's not enough to fill me up
I need more than just words can say
I need everything this life can give me. Hey-hey yeah
'Cause sometimes it's not enough. Ow!

Come on baby, close your eyes, let go
This can be everything we dreamed
It's not work that makes it work, oh
No, let the magic do the work for you

'Cause honey, something reached out and touched me
Now I know all I want

I want the best of both worlds
An' honey I know what it's worth
If we could have the best of both worlds
We'd have heaven right here on earth. Woo!

Well, there's a picture in a gallery of
A fallen angel looked a lot like you
We forget where we come from sometimes
I had a dream it was really you

Something reached out and touched me
Now I know all I want

I want the best of both worlds
An' honey I know what it's worth
If we could have the best of both worlds
A little bit o' heaven right here on earth, oh

Whoa, you don't have to die an' go to heaven
Or hang around to be born again
Just tune in to what this place has got to offer
'Cause we may never be here again. Ow!

I want the best of both worlds
An' honey I know what it's worth
If we could have the best of both worlds
A little heaven right here on earth. Come on!

I want the best of both worlds
An' honey I know what it's worth
We can have the best of both worlds
A little heaven right here on earth, yeah

Tell me, is it enough? Wow!
Now will it ever be enough? Wow-oh-oh-oh-ooh-ooh


7. LOVE WALKS IN

Contact is all that it takes
To change your life, to lose your place in time
Contact. Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Questions deep within your eyes
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Now more than ever, you realize
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string

Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces, familiar sights
Reach back, remember with all your might

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Silver lights shinin' down
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in

Oh, sleep and dream; that's all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
'Til we meet again some other day

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Where silence speaks as loud as war
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Earth returns to what it was before
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in

Love comes walkin' in
Baby, pull the string
Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in, yeah!
Huh-uh! Ye-ah, oh-oh oh


8. 5150

The love line is never straight and narrow
Unless your love is tried and true
We take a chance with new beginnings

Still we try (Oooh)
Win or lose (Oooh)
Take the highs (Oooh)
With the blues (Oooh)

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Never one for all with you
It's only one for me
Oh, why draw the line?
Meet you half the way
And you don't know what that means
Oh, yeah

I feel like a running politician
Oh! Just tryin' to please you all the time
I given you my self with no conditions

Goin' wide (Oooh)
Runnin' long (Oooh)
Feelin' lost (Oooh)
But not for long (Oooh)

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Never one for all with you
It's only one for me
So, why draw the line?
Meet you half the way
When you don't know what that means
Whoa, yeah

Always one more
You're never satisfied
Never for all with you
It's only one for me
So, why draw the line?
Meet you half the way
When you don't know what that means

I'll meet you half the way
Whoa yeah!
I'll meet you half the way
Whoa!
I'll meet you half the way


9. INSIDE

Man, what kinda crap is this?
I don't know. I, I thought it was really gonna be different this time.
(It is) Ah, yeah.
(Ha-ha-ha!) Yeh-hey
I don't know man. We're dyin', we're dyin'

You've actually got three points there. Ah-ha! (Yep!) Whaaeeee!
Oh yeah, hey. What they, where he'd get that clothes?
Outta your closet (Ha-ha-ha!)
Yeah. You mean, you mean my wife's closet
No, J.C. Penny man. J.C. Penny

That's what's comin' down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside

Now listen here. It's not what you are, ya see, it's how ya dress
'Cuz that's one thing I learned from these guys, I must confess
Now me look, I got this job not just bein' myself, huh!
I went out I bought some brand new shoes
Now I walk like someone else, hey!

Maybe I'm crazy or just too high
But all this here can't be worth my piece of the pie

Sittin' around just gettin' high
Temporarily pacified!
I guess less is more, ha ha

Somethin' special, gimme someone new
Some brand new groove to sink my teeth into

Sittin' around just gettin' high
Temporarily pacified!

(Ha-ha-haaaaaaaaa!)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Don't touch me there, okay? Just don't do that, okay?)
(Oh, why?)
(Just pay my accountant)

That's what's come down on the inside
(I don't know. I might be able to make it through. What the hay?)
Don't let this get around to the outside. Please, please, please

This ain't no party, this ain't no show
So don't you try to put no m-m-m-m-m-m-mojo
(That's what's comin' down) On my butt, anyway. Heh heh

(Alimony!)

(Are you alright?)
That's what's comin' down
(I, I, I, I don't feel so good. I'm serious man. I don't, I don't feel too good)
On the inside
(Hey, let's blow it out here now man, alright?)
Don't let this get around, to the outside
(Eddie! Can't you read lips?) (Hey, hey, hey)
(I came into this thing with an open mind)
(Mike! Mike! What was that shit you gave me last night?)
That's what's comin' down
(Ah, man)(Ha, ha-ha!)
On the inside
(Get out! Operator calling. Get out! Operator)
Don't let this get around, to the outside
(Ah, ha-ha!)
That's what's comin' down
(okay)(Hello? Hello?)
On the inside
(This is the operator)
(Hey Sammy, I found a hat and a pair of shoes. Are they yours?)
Don't let this get around, to the outside
That's what's comin' down
On the inside
Don't let this get around (Hey! Somebody get me a cheeseburger!)
To the outside
(Hey, is Greg back yet?)
(Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony! Alimony!)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!) That's what's comin' down
On the inside
Don't let this get around
(Ahh! Ahhhhh!)
(Yeow! Yeah!)
To the outside
