Rick Springfield Album

(Springfield)

She was insatiable, you know the type
And she was young, but she was ripe
And she was vicious, and she took a bite
Baby don't wanna feel this pain anymore
I've got a message, put it through emergency
I wanna hear it on the radio tonight
Calling all girls, If you're looking for love (You got it)
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a hot time
Calling all girls, If you're looking for fun
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a good time tonight
Seems all the good girls are home in bed
We're gonna party to raise the dead
I'm gonna love that girl right out of my head
Baby don't wanna feel this pain anymore
I've got a message, put it through emergency
I wanna see it on the video tonight
Calling all girls, If you're looking for love
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a hot time
Calling all girls, If you're looking for fun
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a good time tonight
Calling all girls, calling all girls
Calling all girls, calling all girls
Calling all girls, calling all girls
Baby don't wanna feel this pain anymore
I've got a message, put it through emergency
I wanna hear it on the radio tonight
Calling all girls, If you're looking for love (You've Got It)
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a hot time
Calling all girls, If you're looking for fun
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a good time tonight
Calling all girls, If you're looking for love
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a hot time
Calling all girls, If you're looking for fun
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a good time tonight
Calling all girls, If you're looking for love
Calling all girls, If you're looking for a hot time
Calling all girls, If you're looking for fun

Well, you admit you like the game
But you're not gonna play
You just ignore what your body is tryin' to say
I got the feelin' that you're playin'
And we're both gonna win
And I think this angel is about to sin
I get excited
Just thinkin' what you might be like
I get excited
There's heaven in your eyes tonight
The fire's ignited down below
It's burning bright
Oh baby, stay, we got all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees tonight
No baby, you don't look that nervous
When you bite your lip
You keep 'em open when we kiss
You're a hypocrite
You got my body dancin' tangos
In three four time
This angel is gonna spread her wings tonight
I get excited
Just thinkin' what you might be like
I get excited
There's heaven in your eyes tonight
The fire's ignited down below
It's burning bright
Oh baby, stay, we got all night, all night
We got all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees tonight
Tonight.... tonight......
Baby, I can feel your heart beat
Can't you feel the heat
Baby's got the cold feet, fire below
Oh baby stay we got
Oh baby stay we got
All night, all night
We got, all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees
All night, all night,
We've got, all night, all night
Baby please, I can't please
If I'm on my knees

(Springfield)

I wonder who she's seeing tonight
Is she really going out with him
He's not her type
And doing all the things she used to do to me
Well, I'd say something to her
But I get so jealous
When I think of her loving somebody else
That I can't think why we ever let go
I must have been crazy
Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you
She was cold sometimes
But she made me feel alive
She was such a spoiled baby
But baby, she could love
And she loved me like nobody ever will again
I thought we'd be together
When the world ran down
When the curtain fell and the lights came up
But the gods or whatever make the world go round
Shuffled when they should have cut
Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you
Did it come too easy to the two of us
Did we go too wrong to ever make it right
Were we too busy checking out the left hand
That we didn't see the right, and
Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
Oh baby, please, oh baby, please come back
I meant to say in time
Baby we could work it out
But I never meant to say goodbye
Tell me what kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I

(Springfield/Vallance)

Counting the headlights passing two by two
Searching the stream of steel and chrome
I'm looking for love, I know you're looking too
So rev up your heart and take me home
A wish and a prayer won't get me there tonight
Longing to hold you
Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you
Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you
I know you like to drive it hard and fast
You tear up the speed zone in my heart
Just give me one night to prove our love can last
I can make love a work of art
A wish and a prayer won't get me there tonight
Longing to hold you
Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you
Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you
Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you
Kristina, I'm wasting away
I wanna be with you
Kristina, take me away
Take me away with you

Patty's working, but she's watching the clock
She's in the back room counting stock
And down in a warehouse out by the dock
Jesse's lifting crates and breaking rock
But when the whistle blows to end the daily fight
And the working forces turn out the light
Jesse takes that little girl and he holds her tight
As the day fades away he says
We're all that matters tonight
Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight
Patty comes like an angel and takes his hand
Jesse says, Baby, I've got a plan
He says I wanna get married and make a stand
But there's just one thing you gotta understand
Now the pressure of living and the daily fight
Could hurt us in time if our perspective ain't right
So shut the door and put out the light
And baby, be here, because we're all that matters tonight
Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight
Break your back from nine to five
Sweating blood just to stay alive
Running home to the harbor light
Safe and warm, in love so right, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight
Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight
Tonight's the night, I know I'm right

(Grainger/Wadey/Hayes)

Black is black, I want my baby back
And gray is gray since she went away
Oh oh, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
If I had my way, she'd be here today
But she'd go in time and leave me to cry again
Oh no, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
I can't choose, there's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong
Bad is bad, that I feel so sad
It's time, it's time, that I found peace of mind
Oh oh, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
I can't choose, there's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong
Black is black, I want my baby back
And gray is gray since she went away
Oh oh what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue

When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the Golden Rule
Don't talk to strange men, don't be a fool
I'm hearing stories, I don't think that's cool
Why don't you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause you're my girl, some say it's no longer true
You're seeing some slick continental dude
I'm begging you, please
Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't talk to strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
Don't talk, don't talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you,don't talk
Now tell me, how's life in the big city
I hear the competition's tough, baby that's a pity
And every man's an actor, every girl is pretty
I don't like what's getting back to me
Now who's this, Don Juan I've been hearing of
Love hurts when only one's in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
I'm begging you, please
Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't talk to strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
Don't talk, don't talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, don't talk
Fais l'amour avec moi
What's he saying baby
Viens dormir, mon amour
I asked you not to talk to him
Je t'aime donne moi ton coeur ce soir
I'm begging you
Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't talk to strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk,
Don't talk, don't talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, don't talk
Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you talk
Don't talk to strangers, You know he'll only use you up
Don't talk to strangers, baby don't you,
Baby don't you talk,

Well I'm sick of hanging out on the street
Every Saturday night with the boys
Listening to the radio's big beat
We crank it just to hear the noise
Yeah we talk about the girls, girls, girls
And we talk, talk, talk all night
Sure we're all Romeos and Casanovas
But we can't seem to get it right
Seems I'm making it harder and harder
While everybody else is doing well
I get confused by their bodies
I get tangled in their curls
How do you talk to girls
How do you talk to girls
What's a poor boy to do
Tell me how do you talk to girls?
How do you talk to girls?
I see this girl over there right away
I'm trying to think of something to say
Well I think I'll have one more drink
I'll be ready to make my play
But this guy moves in and he talks to her
And she nods her head
Well I'm used to missing out on the girl
But I want to know what he said
Seems I'm making it harder and harder
While everybody else is doing well
I get confused by their bodies
I get tangled in their curls
How do you talk to girls?
How do you talk to girls?
What's a poor boy to do
I'm tangled up in their curls
How do you talk to girls?
How do you talk to girls?
Out of wisdom and out of pearls
Tell me how do you talk to girls
Am I stupid or misunderstood
I'd say something clever if I only could
We're only ten feet apart
But it feels like the world..

(Sandford)

You know my feelings run deep
You've got me calling your name in my sleep
We've held each other while we cried through the night
It always turned out alright
But I fell victim to a parallax view
I sensed a change but I swore it was you
I shied away when you needed me most
I didn't see what I was doing, now I'm left destitute
I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you
We've thrived in shadows from scene to scene
My mind still wanders to the Tavern on the Green
We lived for moments that we stole away
They seem as vivid today
We had our problems, and we hadn't the time
You clung to your and I did to mine
Didn't I see how they tore us apart
Now I'm a banished refugee, there's nothing left for me
I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you
I never knew how lost I could be till today
My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away
I can't seem to bridge this break between us two
Don't you know I need you back now, baby
Can't you see I'm still crazy for you
Still crazy for you, still crazy for you

(Springfield)

You can see her walking down on a city street,
The American girl
She's got the passion in her eyes
She's got the blush on her cheeks,
The American girl
I love to watch her move, her body sways
She whispers then she laughs
Did you hear what she says
I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me
Doing things her daddy can't see
The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me
Love is full of intrigue
And full of Bogart mystique, the American girl
She's got the promise in the night
The romance in the back seat, the American girl
I love to watch her move, her body sways
She whispers then she laughs
Did you hear what she says
I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me
Doing things her daddy can't see
The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me
And she stares at herself
In the harsh white light
And she draws in her cheeks
Just like the model
So unsure of herself in the big wide world
The American girl
The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me
The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
The American girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh

(Steinberg/Kelly)

You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue
You know you're not the only one, I'm lonely too
I been surviving just day by day
I had some dreams but they all blew away
And then I saw your face across a crowded room
My heart missed a beat, oh, did you feel it too
To trust someone you just gotta be bold
The wall that you're building is crumbling, oh
Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss
To break it down
You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue
I said you're not the only one, I'm lonely too
I can't deny my heart anymore
You give me a feeling that I can't ignore
You try to play it safe, but you're not really shy
You try to look away, but I caught your eye
You can't hide, it's all over your face
The barrier between us is losing its place
Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss, yeah just one kiss,
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss
To break it down
Why don't we break it down
Why don't we break it down, pretty baby
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss,
To break it, break it down
It's gonna, it's gonna take
Take just one kiss, yeah just one kiss,
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss,
To break it, break it down,
It's gonna, it's gonna take,
Take just one kiss,

I know all your life you wondered
About that step we all take alone
How far does the spirit travel on the journey
You must surely be near heaven
And it thrills me to the bone
