(Willis/Clark/Elliott)

Yeah 
Cool woman, cool eyes, 
Got me hypnotized 
So head down, get a rhythm 
Stop your stalling and your bitching 

Rock steady, we're still shaking 
I'm ready for the taking 
So make your move, you might be 
Get ready for the big scene 

Let it rock, yeah, let it roll 
Let it, let it go 
You gotta, let it rock, let it roll 
Yeah just let it go 

Slow down, hold on 
You're too fast, you're too strong 
Take it easy, take it slow 
Make it last, don't let go 

A warm body is one way 
You're not leaving, c'mon stay 
So get down on your knees 
And let me know you're here to please 

Let it rock, yeah, let it roll 
Let it, let it go 
You gotta, let it rock, let it roll 
Yeah just let it go 

Let it go, let it go 
Whoah 
Cool woman, cool eyes, got me hypnotized 
Slow down, hold on 
You're too fast, you're too strong 
I need a woman, I want her to love 
A wound up woman 
And you do what I want, what I want 

Oh yeah 
Slow down, hold on 
You're too fast, you're too strong 
Take it slow, make it last 
Take it easy, not too fast 
And don't let go 

No! Rock steady, we're still shaking 
I'm ready for the taking 
So make your move, you might be 
And get a-ready for the big scene 

Yeah 
Let it rock, yeah, let it roll 
Let it, let it go 
You gotta, let it rock, let it roll 
Yeah just let it go 

Let it rock, yeah, let it roll 
Let it, let it go 
You gotta, let it rock, let it roll 
Yeah just let it go 

C'mon - let it roll, let it go 
Oh yeah Oh!

(Savage/Elliott)

Union Jack is back with a hole in his head 
He's gettin' badly burned every time 
He's laughin' at me and dancin' on my sneakers 
And his sixties songs are blowin' up my speakers 

I say you got no respect 
Respect for authority 
You're just playing your dirty tricks 
And then come cryin' to me 

Hit and run, hit and run 
It's just a hit and run 
Another hit and run 

The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad 
And the whole damn world is really laughin' mad 

Repeat Bridge 

Repeat Chorus 

Hit it!! 
Oh bring it down 
Oh you bring it down 

I say you ain't got no respect 
I say you ain't got no respect 
No you ain't got no respect 
And you hit me when I'm down 

Hit and run, hit and run 
It's just another hit and run 
I said it's just another hit and run 

Oh yeah, hit and run 
Oh yeah, hit and run 
Oh yeah, hit and run 
Oh yeah, hit and run 
Oh yeah, hit and run 
It's just another hit and run 
Hit and run 

. . .


(Clark/Savage/Elliott)

Saturday, I feel right 
I been drinking all day 
Yes I got a date, a midnight ride 
I had to get it away 
Yeah, I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool 
Don't need a reason, reason to be cool 
I got my whiskey, I got my wine 
I got my woman, and this time the lights are going out 

Saturday night - High 
Saturday night - High 'n' dry 
Saturday night - I'm high 
Saturday night - High 'n' dry 

Ow, I feel bad, I feel mean 
I'm up and down and in between 
On the bottle, I'm on the line 
I'm up and feeling fine 

Oh I'm not a loner, I'm not a fool 
Don't need a reason, reason to be cool 
I got my whiskey, I got my wine 
I got my woman, and this time the lights are going out 

Repeat Chorus 

Oh take me high 
Saturday, kickin' out, her train was comin' to me 
I gotta move, number one 
Saturday night on the run 

Saturday night - High 
Saturday night - High 'n' dry 
Saturday night - Got my whiskey 
Saturday night - Got my wine 
Saturday night - Got my woman 
Saturday night - High 'n' dry 
You gotta try me tonight 

. . .


(Clark/Willis/Elliott)

Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty 
The broken rose with laughin' eyes 
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild 
Like a child without a home 
You're always searching, searching for a feeling 
That it's easy come and easy go 

Oh I'm sorry but it's true 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Takin' all the best of me 
Oh can't you see? 
You got the best of me 
Whoah can't you see? 

You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
Can't you see? 

Oh whoah 
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady 
Lady how you hold the key 
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin' 
Burnin' out and burnin' me 

Can't you see? 
Just try and say to you 

You're bringin' on the heartache 
Takin' all the best of me 
Oh can't you see? 
You got the best of me 
Whoah can't you see? 

You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 

Can't you see? 
Can't you see? 
No no no 
You got the best of me 
Oh can't you see? 
You got the best of me 
Whoah can't you see? 

You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 
Bringin' on the heartache 
You're bringin' on the heartbreak 

. . .

(Willis/Clark/Elliott)

Hang on 
Yeah 
Ha ha ha ha ha 
I don't care too much 
For your backstabbin' and side steppin' 
You're all sweet talk, you're all lust 
You're the kind, yeah, I don't trust 
I gotta get out, step aside 
Before you damage my pride 

Let me through don't spoil my view 
I gotta get away, away from you 
Oh no no never thought I'd feel so low 

You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin' 
I ain't gonna hide 

And yesterday everything seemed okay 
Yeah you better run and hide away 
Oh you better hide 

You're out, out on the street 
But I'm back on my feet 
I might lose it, so get wise 
Stop your usin' and your lies 
Oh my friend don't stick around 
Your time is up, the chips are down 

Repeat Bridge 

Repeat Chorus 

And yesterday everything seemed okay 
Yeah you better run and hide away 
Oh you better hide 
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin', runnin', runnin' 

C'mon 
Whoah 
Oh oh oh 
Oh yeah 
Runnin' and runnin' 
Runnin' 
Oh 
Watch me run 
Runnin', runnin', runnin' 

Oh no no never thought I'd feel so low 
You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin' 
I ain't gonna hide 

And yesterday everything seemed okay 
Yeah you better run and hide away 
Oh you better hide 

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 
You can't say no no more 
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin' 
You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

(Willis/Clark/Allen/Elliott)

Ow 
Ooh yeah 
Oh 
I never needed love before 
Till I met you girl 
A girl like you I have never seen 
You came into my life like a whirlwind girl 
You let me know what lovin' really means 

Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you 

You got me where you want me girl 
So no messin' around 
You know I never played that hard to please 
I've been here many times before 
And walked this sacred ground 
But this time you got me on my knees 
You got me 

Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I need you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
Lady strange, oh lady strange I want you 
I need you 

Oh you're so strange 
Oh oh oh 
Taking love from you's like taking candy from a baby 
But lady strange there is no stranger lady 
No 
Just you and me we make love, good love 
So let me know what lovin' really means 
Woman please 

Repeat Chorus 

I need you 
I want you 
Yeah 

. . .


(Clark/Savage/Elliott)

The wait is done, the battle's won 
So count the cost before you run 
'Cos on and on your time was power 
The clock on the wall ticks away the hours 
Come on down, you're flyin' high 
You'll never win if you never try 
Stop the hate and carry the load 
Come on, get this show on the road 

On through the night 
You can't stop me now 
On through the night 
You won't stop me anyhow 

The stakes are high and gettin' higher 
I'm flat on my face and you call me liar 
I'm watching you, you're watching me 
You're watching every move that I can see 
My reputation's still at stake 
I play it safe for safety's sake 
Your ego and your promises 
Are gonna fade again and again 

Repeat Chorus 

Not anyhow 
All you want to hear 
Is the audience applause 
You can't get on stage 
For a country clause 
And the road ahead seems a little rough 
If you want to know my feelings 
I say that's tough, that's tough 
Your wheels ain't turnin', you're out of gas 
You pay by check but they take cash 
Two roads ahead but which to take 
And you can't see it's your mistake 

They're waitin' for you 
They're waitin' for me 
And what seems like eternity 
It's all tradition, it'll get you yet 
In rock'n'roll there's no safety net 

Repeat Chorus 

On through the night 
Goin' on and on, on and on 
On through the night 
You can't stop me anyhow 
Oh no no anyhow 

. . .


(Clark/Elliott)

Mirror mirror 
Just watchin' with your eye of glass 
You're just a fortune wheel 
With something that I wanna ask 

Mirror mirror 
Got my fate lyin' in your hands 
You're the fool, you're the juggler 
Hangman and lover, you're not like no other 

Take a look into my eyes 
Tell me what you see 
Take a look into my eyes 
Tell me is it true? 
Take a look into my eyes 
Oh when I look at you 
Take a look into my eyes 
Tell me is it me? 
Is it really me? 

Mirror mirror 
Gotta know just what you see 
My crystal ball 
You're lookin' so sly and so sleazy 

Mirror mirror 
Hangin' there with that crack in your eye 
You make me stumble, make me blind 
Time after time and line by line 

Repeat Chorus 

Mirror mirror 
Oh tell me 
You're the fool, you're the juggler 
I ain't met a lover, you're like no other 

Take a look into my eyes 
Tell me what you see 
Take a look into my eyes 
Tell me is it true? 
Take a look into my eyes 
Oh it just can't last 
Take a look into my eyes 
Gonna have to smash the glass 

Take a look into my eyes 
Take a look into my eyes 
Take a look 
Take a look into my eyes 
Oh yeah 
Take a look into my eyes 
Take a look into my eyes 
Take a look into my eyes 
Take a look into my eyes 
Take a look 
Take a look into my eyes 
Look into my eyes 
Take a look into my eyes 
Tell me if it's me 
Baby, baby, baby, baby 
Baby, baby, baby, baby 

. . .


(Savage/Willis/Elliott)

Oh yeah 
She was a foxy rocker, a roxy roller 
An unchained sex machine 
Yeah 
Slippin' slidin', electric glidin' 
And boy she was mean, I said mean 
High class dealer, sippin' her tequila 
Comin' on pretty strong 
Real love stealer, rebel rousin' squealer 
She said go but I said no 

I kept saying no, no no no no no 
I kept saying no, no no no no no 

Waiting at the back door 
Couldn't take it anymore 
Didn't know where she'd been 
She looked pretty neat, turnin' on the heat 
And only seventeen, seventeen 
Windin' her up, bringin' her down 
She wanted it just the same 
Said stick around, that's when I found 
I only had myself to blame 

I kept saying no, no no no no no 
I kept saying no, no no no no no 

High class dealer, sippin' on tequila 
Comin' on really strong 
Rhythm stealer, rattle off squealer 
She said go but I said no 

Well I kept saying no, no no no no no 
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no 
Well I kept saying no, no no no no no 

I say no no no 
I say no no no 
I say no no 
No no no no no no no 
No no no no no no no 

. . .

(Savage/Clark/Elliott)

Oh yeah 
C'mon 
Oh yeah 
Oh 
Well I'm down in the alley of sally 
And I'm feeling my way 
And it's four in the morning 
I don't have a lot I can say 

I know I'm looking for some satisfaction 
But there ain't much news 
Got some walking from a back reaction 
I'm hanging down and loose 

Oh me and the boys have been drinking 
Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking 
All I can say is 
I'm doing fine with just me and my wine 

Now my brain and my body are runnin' on different rails 
And the guy that just said hi was as hard as nails 
Oh I woke up in a subway station 
Lying half dead on the floor 
I don't remember anything that happened the night before 

Repeat Chorus 

Now listen 
My hair's a real mess 
I feel and look like a joke 
And there's a hole in my jeans 
I just went right of smokes 
You know I'd like to get to know you 
But I ain't got the time 
I'm tryin' harder and harder 
To make this damn thing right 
Just me and my wine 

Well just me and my wine 
You know that I'm doing fine 
Well just me and my wine 
Ow 
Thank you
