Rick Springfield Album

(Springfield)

Turn up your radio and put your ear to the sweet, sweet music
And take your baby and hold her in your arms
And hear the music go "Ooh ooh"
And if you're feeling like it go get your lover
And reel and rock her and roll it over
And hold her tighter, hold her tighter
It's what she needs
You've go to take a hand, take a hand
You've got to let her know
Take a hand, take a hand
You've got to let it show
Turn up the music and put your ear to the radio
And take her gently and rock her in your arms
And hear the record go "Aah aah"
And if you're feeling like it go get your lover
And reel and rock her and roll it over
And hold her tighter, hold her tighter
It's what she needs
You've go to take a hand, take a hand
You've got to let her know
Take a hand, take a hand

That's not the way, that's not the way of the world
Late night creeper with a Saturday Night,
Saturday Night Special
After some poor storekeeper, you need more and more just to
stay alive
Ooh it's a sin, baby you fight to win
But the rich get richer and the poor keep on living in ditches
Goldfever, let me tell you about goldfever
Don't you know that it's on old fever
And I tell you it's a cold killer
Said I'm talking about goldfever
Don't you know that it's an old fever
And I tell you it's a heartbreaker
Yeah I'm talking about goldfever
Let me tell about, let me tell you about goldfever
Big business man, incorporate this, incorporate that, yeah
You're making all them dollar bills
But you no longer see humanity needs love
Ooh, it's a crime, baby in 3/4 time
Go on with your billions
while the people keep on dying in millions
Goldfever, let me tell you about goldfever
Don't you know that it's on old fever
And I tell you it's a cold killer
Said I'm talking about goldfever
Don't you know that it's an old fever
And I tell you it's a heartbreaker
Yeah I'm talking about goldfever
Let me tell about, let me tell you about goldfever
And it hits you like a cold fever
It comes on like a real sensation
But it will leave you in desolation
Yeah, I'm talking about goldfever
And though I know that it's an old fever
It's a number one best seller
And it can put you in heaven or hell
Ah, let me tell you about goldfever
Don't you know that it's an old fever
And I tell you it's a cold killer
Let me tell you about goldfever

Young girl you really did believe in him
Still he broke your heart with lies
You've got to be stronger, the pain, it won't last much longer
Don't lose respect for yourself, no
Sweet young thing, no, don't lose your head
Or by the time you're seventeen you'll be waking every morning
With a stranger in your bed
One broken heart, I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart is no reason to give up on life
Girl, be waiting, be anticipating
For that new love to come along
And one broken heart, you'll survive
So sad, you lived for and now you're dying for love
But you won't find it like that
No peace and calm in the strength of a stranger's arms
Baby wake up to yourself
Love ain't guaranteed, no, but it sure is worth a new start
Or by the time you're twenty-one
you'll be lying in a stranger's bed
Dying from a broken heart
One broken heart, I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart is no reason to give up on life
Girl, be waiting, be anticipating
For that new love to come along
And one broken heart, you'll survive
And I'm hoping, I'm really hoping
That sweet love will come your way
To mend one broken heart, you'll survive
One broken heart, you'll survive

My love, I was talking with a new friend
And she seemed to understand all my pain
She said, " I'll make you feel alright,
And we won't talk of money 'til the morning light"
And as I rose to leave her she said'
"I'm sorry Blue, I've got to make my living too"
And then she turned away
Where's all the love they sing about in all those love songs?
Where's all the love they talk about in all those movies?
I'd be your fool if only I could find you
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
I lived in a mirrored resemblance of another phase...
And I miss you more and more but I go on
Living other people's lives and drifting in and out
Of bed with lawyers' wives
And all the time I know just what I'm looking for
'Cause once you lead me to the door
But I was turned away
Where's all the love they sing about in all those love songs?
Where's all the love they talk about in all those movies?
I'd be your fool if only I could find you...

Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?

Angel, just tell me that you'll never leave, understand
Though I know it can't always be the way we planned
I don't think about tomorrow, I just thank God
You're my angel
And you saved my life and I was suddenly free
I don't know how you came like an archangel
But now it's just you and me
I was running scared for much too long
'Til you put me back on straight
Archangel, God knows what I'd do without you
My angel, never leave me, always love me
Like an angel, Archangel
Tears drop like diamonds from your golden eyes
Weep for me archangel and wash away the lies
I've run with demons much too long
Now I thank God you're mine
Archangel, God knows what I'd do without you
My angel, never leave me, always love me
Like an angel, Archangel

When you walked into the room looking like Jean Harlow
Oh Jessie, everyone looked at you, you're a lady
Though I know that you've been around the world
Maybe two or three times in your daddy's pocket
I'm gonna break that rich-bitch thing with you
Oh, Jessica, you're a lady
If it takes all night you're gonna be nice
Oh, Jessica, I think lady
That sold, hard front could melt like ice
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica
Cold like a killer's eyes
Stay with me Jessica
You're a lady of the world, you've been to Paris and London
But Jessie, it doesn't mean a thing to you when you're lonely
Though you'd have to have a heart of stone
to put me on my knees
I know you ain't got it
I'm gonna get to you no matter what you do
Oh, Jessica, you're a lady
If it takes all night you're gonna be nice
Oh, Jessica, I think lady
That sold, hard front could melt like ice
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica
Cold like a killer's eyes
Stay with me Jessica
Jessica, you're a lady
Jessica, you're a lady
Jessica, Jessica, oh
Jessica, you're a lady
Take me home in your big black car
Oh Jessica, I think lady
You're not as hard as they think you are
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica
Fire up your cold heart
And stay with me, Jessica
Stay with me, Jessica
Stay with me, Jessica
Jessica, you're a lady
Jessica, you're a lady

You were hungry for the lights,
You spent your nights with socialites
You're a million-dollar baby with the million dollar blues
And the only gave your time to people you could use
Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace
You wound with a two cent heart
You were mine for just a little while
But true to style and with a smile you said,
"I have to leave you, baby, hold me one more time
'Cause I know where I should be and it's a long hard climb"
Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace
You wound with a two cent heart
Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace

(Springfield)

Who did you think you were?
Who did you think you were fooling?
You've been seeing too many movies
where the bad guys were the heroes
Everything started fine and it looked like the seeds were sown
'Till you took up an evil stance and you came on
just like Al Capone
I had to leave or I'd have gone insane
Now I hear they say you've changed but...
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Don't you ever wonder why
You had me when I was green
It made me feel so dependent
It satisfied your paranoia to think I really needed you
Who did you think I was?
Did you think that I'd let it ride?
Put down that violin case, I know just what you're trying to hide
I've got to leave; you chill me to the marrow
There's just no way you're on the straight and narrow because...
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Don't you ever wonder why
And when I finally climbed down off your shelf
You blamed everyone except yourself
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
They just fade into the night

(Springfield)

She remembers the night they first were alone
When he took her home and he said,
"I need you, won't you stay?"
And all through the night his eyes had a light
That burned very bright and she hoped
His words weren't well read lines
A little ill at ease she whispered "Baby, please...
Treat me gently in the morning
Take my heart but stay with me
Treat me gently in the morning, please"
Her mamma said, "Silly girl you should marry him or leave
He'll only make you grieve when he decides it's over
Wake up child"
But the years fell away, they grew closer they found
Though they had their ups and downs just like lovers do
Still she'd say, "It's okay to fight, when were alone late at night
I'll always say...
Treat me gently in the morning
Take my heart but stay with me
Treat me gently in the morning, please"
It all went so fast one day he went away
He said St. Tropez but he died that winter in a plane
The last thing he sent was a postcard from Rome
It read, "I'm coming home, Lady, I love you"
And under his name was a P.S. that read
Very simply it said...
Treat me gently in the morning
I can't live another night
Treat me gently in the morning

I was lost on a winding road
I thought that life had nothing left to give
Then you came and showed me that just to live
Was the greatest gift of all?
And you showed me
Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration?
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
How could I have been so blind?
Just to think that we were living to die
Then you came along and I was no longer alone
And you lead me to the light
And you showed me
Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration?
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
And you showed me life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration?
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate
