(Springfield)

I'm picking up my baby tonight
Though her daddy's making trouble
It will be alright
I'm working hard, I don't know why
I'm like a working class dog
And I just get by
Tonight I'm crawling out from in it
And though we're livin' on the brink
Second by second by minute by minute
Love is alright tonight
We're gonna be alright
Love is alright
Love is alright tonight
Everyone's sayin' the sky's gonna fall
Don't know where it's gonna stop
If it stops at all
I know the world's goin' crazy alright
I hope it holds together for one more night
Tonight I'm crawling out from in it
And tho' we're livin' on the brink
Second by second by minute by minute
Love is alright tonight
We're gonna be alright
Love is alright
Love is alright tonight
Don't worry, Daddy, I'll have her home at a respectable hour
Go to sleep, Daddy, you won't think about tonight
With the night comes a feeling of incredible power
Gonna love her, Daddy, she'll be feeling it tonight
Alright, it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
Love is alright tonight
We're gonna be alright
Love is alright

Jessie is a friend,
Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed
It ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl
And I want to make her mine
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman like that?
I'll play along with this charade
That doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love but the point is probably moot
'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman...
Where can I find her, a woman like that?
And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
Tell me why can't I find a woman like that?
You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl

(Springfield)

Where are you running my love,
Through the backstreets of the city?
You're keeping an eye on the horizon
Looking over your shoulder
Must be some demon driving you
I must have looked like a prime one
Running after you like we still could survive
But nobody I've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
You're nothing but a taker
A real heartbreaker
Who ever hurt you so long ago must have been a master
But you're learning fast
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
Nobody I've ever loved ever hurt me like you did
With that lack of feelin'
I've got a hole in my heart
You know that I've got a hole in my heart
But I won't beg, oh baby
I won't beg anymore
I've got a hole in my heart
I've got a hole in my heart

(Springfield)

Stop (Stop) my head is playing tricks again, won't it ever stop?
Baby, help me listen to my heart
And then take me to the top
I'm afraid of love, so afraid of love
And I'm scared to make it right
But I know tonight, that it's my last chance
My last shot with real love and I wanna take it
Last chance in the slow dance, in the big time
And I wanna make it tonight
You're gonna show what love is and why
Between the sweat and the lovin',
The whisper and the cry
I'm so tired of all this shit that I feel
Show me something real
Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can I do?
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak
I spend my life waiting for the future and living in the past
Baby, show me love that I can hold on to
Give me something that'll last
I'm a total wreck but I'm up to my neck in this love that I'm in
It's a long shot, fun try from a real world, me and you, baby
Last chance for the slow dance in the bright lights
And I think that maybe tonight it's gonna happen
Ain't no use in tryin'
Between the sweat and the lovin', the whisper and the cry
Show me something real
Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can I do?
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak
You've got the power, you've got the love
To take me to heaven or to lead me to heartbreak
Carry me away, baby, carry me away
I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right
Carry me away, come on, carry me away
I wanna be with you, what can I do?
You've got the power, you've got the love

(Hagar)

This one way love affair ain't fair, it ain't fair to me
It's all give and take and you just take
I can't take it you see
Well, I'm givin' up on love this time
Me and my friends, we'll do just fine
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
You said someday I'd have a whole lotta money, I'd be a
millionaire
But when that didn't happen over night
I found out how much you really cared
Well, all you want is a whole lotta money
All the rest is just jivin' honey
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
When I first met you, you didn't know how to love a man
All those things about makin' love you didn't understand
Now you know about everything
I'm turning you in for memories - you see
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
Well, I'm going out on the town tonight
And get just as wild as I can be
I'm gonna find out what it's like to be lose, high and free
Well, I don't care what that the people say
I'm changin' my mind, I'm changin' to stay
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothing for me
You've done nothing for me
You've done nothing...
You've done nothing...

(Springfield)

Standing at the terminal I can almost hear the music
Coming from the cold and chilly L.A. night
And when we get to the gate, baby
All of the things that were said
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back?
Will they bring you back?
Will you come back home 'cause you know I'm waiting?
The light of love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on
Keeping the night watch
Baby, are you lonely, don't talk to strangers
I'm trying to tell myself you won't be gone for long
And when we get to the part where all of the tears start to come
Will you turn around, get on the plane?
Will it bring you back, will you come back home?
'Cause you know I'm waiting
The light of love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on
Keeping the night watch
The light of love is always on
The light of love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on
Keeping the night watch
The light of love is always on
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on
Keeping the night watch
Keeping the night watch

Well, who'd have believed this seasoned connoisseur lady-killer
like me
Would get hurt by a girl like you?
And they got names for dirty little girls like you, honey
It ain't nice, but they call you "everybody's girl"

And they say: "Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes"
And they say: " here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
There goes everybody's girl
Everybody's girl, everybody's girl, everybody's girl"
You might say I was blind for a while
I fell asleep at the driving wheel
You sure woke me up in a hurry, honey
And I can't blame anyone but me I know
It's my fault for falling for everybody's girl
And they say: "He's the one, he's the one, he's the one"
And they say: "He's the one, he's the one, he's the one
He got screwed by everybody's girl
Everybody's girl, everybody's girl, everybody's girl
You got no apparent sensitivity
You're cut deep with self-destructivity
Your mind's made up, you're heading for the day
When you'll shake and your heart breaks
It's gonna come
Everybody's girl, everybody's girl
Everybody's girl, everybody's girl
Everybody's girl - you know the time's gonna come
Everybody's girl - you can't do this forever
Everybody's girl - you're not gonna get another chance

(Springfield)

So you tell me she's a little cheater
She's a man eater
Yeah that's all right
'Cause I think I know her better
You can keep your chatter
And I know it's gonna be alright
Bite your tongue
You know I don't want to hear this
Bite your tongue
You know I've been told before
And I don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause you're not talking 'bout my girl (no no)
She is her Daddy's Pearl (oh oh)
She wouldn't hurt me for the world (no no)
Oh Oh Oh
Everybody seems to get their kicks
Waiting for some fixation they aint' got
That I'm gonna find out
Sooner or later
They're sure it's coming but I know it's not
Bite your tongue
You know I don't want to hear this
Bite your tongue
You know I've been told before
And I don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause you're not talking 'bout my girl (no no)
She is her Daddy's pearl (oh oh)
She wouldn't hurt me for the world (no no)
Oh Oh Oh
Daddy's pearl
You know she's Daddy's pearl
You know she's Daddy's pearl
You know she's Daddy's pearl
Bite your tongue
You know I don't want to hear this
Bite your tongue
You know I've been told before
And I don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause you're not talking 'bout my girl (no no)
She is her Daddy's pearl (oh oh)
She wouldn't hurt me for the world (no no)

When we talk it's a thriller, baby
It's like walking on a tightrope line
When we spark it's electric, baby
Like the crackle from a neon sign
What you doin', baby, come on over tonight
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
We'll have the joint jumpin'
We'll be doin', doin', doin, alright
Red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Well, I've got it all planned on the other hand
If you like it like that
When we touch, there's a shock, baby
Like the static from a pylon
When we love I'm on a rocket, baby
Running up and down your nylons
What you doin', baby, come on over tonight
(Well, well, well)
We'll have the joint jumpin'
We'll be doin', doin', doin, alright
Red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Well I take it when I want it
And I really want it now
Red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot and blue love (Hot and blue love)
Well you know that I take it when I want it

(Springfield)

I love that look comes in your eyes when we're all alone
And it's much too late for friends to come calling
I disconnect the phone
And I put on the radio and I take her and I talk real low
And I hold her tight and soon I'm dancing in the night
Inside Silvia, oh Silvia, yeah, yeah, Silvia
I know my love is alive
Inside Silvia, yeah Silvia, oh Silvia, oh
Sometimes you get so crazy and I know it's all in your mind
And right in the middle of the night, I see just what you need
And they say that love is blind
And I hold you till the feelings come
But sometimes when the loving's done I see the scared little girl
Afraid of the woman
Inside Silvia, oh Silvia, yeah, yeah, Silvia
I know my love is alive
Inside Silvia, yeah Silvia, oh Silvia, oh
Though the world may rage and storm
There's still one harbor where I'm safe and warm
It's when I'm inside Silvia, yeah Silvia, oh Silvia, oh
Inside Silvia, oh Silvia, yeah, yeah, Silvia
I know my love is alive
