I've read it all, it's black and white
The spectrum made a shade I like.
The crimson rays are ruby bright
Technicolor light.
Red! I want red, there's no substitute for red.
Red! Paint it red, green ain't mean compared to red.
You don't know what it does to me,
My crimson intensity
I'm haunted by the mystery,
The mystey of red.
Red knocks 'em dead,
Some like it hot, I like it read.
Red is my lover, got it covered
Red is my number, sure as a coma
Red is my drummer, and I hear red thunder
Move over brother,
Red's a motherfu...(cker)
(Red! Red!)
Thats' what I said...
(Red! Red!)
Come on to bed
(Red! Red!)
Gimme' that expensive spread..


. . .


Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships come in
And I watch 'em sail away again

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
For the San Francisco bay
I felt I had nothing to live for
But I know something's gonna come my way

So I'll just sit here on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

Yeah, and it looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yeah

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
I'm too tired for having fun
So I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

Oh, where were you, baby?
Nothing's gonna change
Yeah, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Everything's the same

Nothin', no, no, nothin's gonna change, baby
I ain't gonna change
I'm just gonna sit here
Sit, sit, sittin' on the dock of the bay

. . .


This one way love affair ain't fair
It ain't no kind of fair to me
It's all give and take, and you just take
And 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
Because

I've done everything for you
Oh yeah, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
You've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin' for me

Yeah, you knew that someday I'd have a whole lotta money
And be a millionaire
Yeah, but when that didn't happen overnight
I found out how much you really cared

Yeah, all you want is a whole lotta money
All the rest is just jivin' honey

I've done everything for you
Aw lord, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
I've done everything, you've done nothin' for me
(You've done nothin' for me)

Now wait a minute
When I first met you, you didn't know how to hook a man
(You've done nothin')
There was so many things about makin' love you didn't understand
(You've done nothin')
Yeah, but now you know about everything
And I'm tradin' you in on a pair of wings

I've done everything for you
Yeah, yeah, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Baby, you've done nothing for me
You've done nothing for me

Now I'm going out on the town tonight and get as wild as I can be
I'm gonna find out what it's really like to be loose, high and free
Yeah and I don't care what them people say
'Cause I'll change my mind, i'm changin' to stay

I've done everything for you
Baby, baby you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
You, you've done nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Everything, but nothin' for me
I've done everything for you
Baby, you've done nothin' for me

You've done nothin' for me
You, you've done nothin' for me
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin'
You've done nothin' for me
Zero, nothin' ow!

. . .



You've been waitin' for five long days,
Passin' time in so many ways, oh yeah!
Just waitin', oh' just waitin', baby
Ooh, Lord you've been waitin' for tonight.
Money is burnin' a hole in your pocket
Friday night we'll blow the stars out of socket, oh yeah!
Skyrocket! Skyrocket, babe!
Ooh, Lord we're gonna rock it all tonight.
It's gonna be a rock and roll weekend
Eight o'clock's when the show begins.
Get on the phone, call up all your friends
Tell 'em it's gonna be a rock and roll weekend.
Rock and roll weekend, rock and roll.
Check your watch it's gettin time,
Flash by the mirror, make sure you're lookin fine, oh yeah!
Car waitin' outside, your momma sittin' by your side
Hey, we'll take that midnight ride tonight.
(Rock and roll weekend) In Atlanta
(Rock and roll weekend) New York City
(Rock and roll weekend) Detroit, Chicago
(Rock and roll weekend) Dallas, Texas
(Rock and roll weekend) See you in Cleveland.
(Rock and roll weekend) Don't for
(missing end)

Cruisin' & Boozin'

[No lyrics]

. . .



Huh! Oh, yeah!
We've been waiting all night just to hear this song.
Yeah, we been pushin' buttons all night long.
Just a rollin' down the freeway with the boys.
When on comes this beautiful noise.
Turn up the music.
Make it loud and clear.
I said, turn up the music.
Oh, you know what I wanna hear.
Turn up the music.
Well, I gotta hear an oldie like "Johnny B. Goode"
You know it gets me in the mood, yeah I knew it would.
This here radio's got to make it right, yeah.
Anybody wanna rock tonight?
Turn up the music.
Rock 'n roll radio.
I said to turn up the music, yeow! Huh!
Turn up the music.
And make it loud and clear.
I said to turn up the music.
Oh, you know what I wanna hear.
Sounds all right!
C'mon baby!
Yeah!
All right!
Burn up the music.
We wanna rock tonight.
Heavy metal music.
Oh that feels all right.
Turn it up.
Turn it up.
Radio, oh!
Turn up the music.
Turn up the music.
Turn up the music.
Turn up the music.
Turn up the music.
Lowww!!!


. . .



Reckless!
Look out baby, I'm comin to town
I'll tear it up, and I'll tear it down.
Reckless!
I play long, I play hard
I play for keeps, with no holds barred.
And I rock, and I roll
And I do it out of control
Reckless!
I'll do anything that hasn't been done
I'll do it for money, I'll do it for fun.
Reckless!
And I do get busted, I don't understand
I'll be your lover baby, I'm a back-door man
I'm fast, and I take chances.
I'm a fool for one night romances.
I'm reckless!
Get reckless!
Uh - Yeah!
Reckless!
Well, I want it now, I can't wait my turn.
I've been fried, but I won't get burned.
I live my life for the flash
Reach for the edge, but I won't crash!
For the best.
The stronger the danger
I could care less
Leaves me breathless
Reckless!
Reckless!
Reckless!
I break all the rules!
Reckless!
I wanna live for today!
Reckless!
Reckless!
Reckless!
Reckless!
Reckless!
Reckless!

Sets ten inches off the ground with a custom plate
That says IEATZ28

Yeah, '79 will be the end of the road
If you want horse power overload
Ooh, if you like kicks, just take her to the floor
And you red-line, shift them gears, hear the engine roar on my

On my Trans Am
Come on catch me if you can
In my Trans Am, Highway Wonderland

I may be crazy, but I ain't no fool
I live my life by the golden rule
That money can't buy everything it's true
Yeah, but what it won't buy, I can't use

I want love (love or money) I want money
Gimme love (love or money) or gimme money

My baby loved me when I was down
Yeah, but now I'm up, and she's still around
And she's got a sports car, credit cards, her clothes are the best
We're still alive, I wouldn't put it to the test no, no

She wants love (love or money) and a whole lotta money
A whole lotta love (love or money) and a whole lotta money
Gimme love or money, gimme love or money
She said, "Money honey."
That's what I want, is a whole lotta money

Over here!
My baby says her love is heavy
Yeah, but it don't measure up to English pounds
Or Swiss franks, German marks
Gimme the greenback dollar, oh yeah

Just gimme money, gimme money, gimme money
Love or money, gimme love or money
She says, "Money honey, that's what I want."
Just a whole lot of money

(Love or money)
That's what I want
(Love or money)
G-G-G-G-Gimme money
(Love or money)
G-G-G-Gimme Money, money, ayh
(Love or money)
(Love or money)

Cancelled flights, limousines
Hustle bustles, crazy scenes
First you're here, then you're there
Pretty soon man, you been everywhere

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell

Time ticks away, faster, faster
You run so fast you forget what you're after
You make a deal to sell your soul
Just to find out, baby, it's been sold

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell
Burn in hell

Not me, baby

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell

Fine, white lines of crystal light
Keep us up all day and all night
Ooh, we're just forgotten boys and girls
Who thrive on cosmic toys

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
He's here to see us all
Burn in hell
Burn in hell
Owwww

(This planet's on fire)
(This planet's on fire)

Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire
Ooh, this planet's on fire
Oh, Satan's desire, yeah

Yes!

She falls somewhere in between
Levi's and Vogue Magazine
She doesn't paint on her face
But what she does she does with taste

And you can call her Plain Jane
But she's drivin' me insane
(Plain Jane) Oh yeah, you're drivin' me insane
(Plain Jane) Well, let me love you baby, yeah

She kisses with her lips so tight
Ooh, it hits me just like dynamite
Her sweet, simple innocence
Makes everyone else seem like past tense

And you can call her Plain Jane
But she's drivin' me insane
(Plain Jane) Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're drivin' me insane, oh
(Plain Jane) Please, oh
Well, let me love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you

Takes a special kind of man
To love and understand
My Plain Jane
My Plain Jane, talkin' 'bout my baby
My Plain Jane, oh yeah

(Plain Jane) Ow, uh-huh, my
(Plain Jane) Ain't no body else no
(Plain Jane) Tellin' you you're drivin me insane

Her smile comes on insecure
But her eyes, they let you know for sure
Oh, you gotta look hard and deep
Her kind of lovin', it don't come cheap, no

And you can call her Plain Jane
But she's drivin' me insane
My (Plain Jane) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're drivin' me insane. Ow

Well she had a bad reputation
So mother put you on probation
Now ain't it funny how the story goes

Well, seems like every boy you meet
Just tries to get you in the back seat
If you been there once, your gonna do it again
That's what they say when you

You've got a bad reputation
A bad reputation
But what a sensation
Ooh, you're such a temptation

Sometimes sneakin' out the window
Well, just as sure as the wind blows
Your in trouble when they find you out

With such a small circle of friends
The train is never gonna end
And some girls like it, yeah but, some don't

You, you, you got a bad reputation
A bad reputation
Aw, but what a sensation
Aw, you're such a temptation

You're the kind that wonders if love was made to last
Or if marriage is a thing of the past
Well, anyway you want it baby, that's the way its gonna be, yeah
'Cause if you're good enough for you, you're good enough for me, yeah

Alright

When she had a bad reputation
And now its a touchy situation
Well, just try to change in this small town

Where everybody knows your name
Expecting you to stay the same
Either put it up or they'll put you out
That's what they do when

You got a bad reputation
A bad reputation
But what a sensation
Ooh, you're such a temptation
You got a bad reputation

You know it's alright, it's alright with me
I'll take your bad reputation
You and your bad reputation
Whoo! C'mon, baby, yeah
Alright, hey, yeah

. . .


If you get lonely on your daddy's farm
Just remember I don't live too far
And there's a red bridge that arcs the bay, yeah
You'll be at my place in less that a day

So get on your bad motor scooter and ride
Up over to my place and stay all night
First thing in the morning we'll be feeling all right
So get on your bad motor scooter and ride

Ooh, the last I seen your face
I swore that no one would take your place
Now since you've been gone I've been feelin' bad, yeah
I'd come out to your place (but) I'm afraid of your dad

So you get on your bad motor scooter and ride
Up over to my place and stay all night
First thing in the morning we'll be feeling all right
So get on your bad motor scooter and ride

Ride, ride, ride
Come on baby, ooh yeah
Crank it on up
Get on your bad motor scooter

. . .



Fill me up to the top and take me away
To some little hidin' place in old Monterey
'Cause you, you make me crazy
Can't keep my hands off of you, can't leave you alone.
You've got the sweetest smile and a style of your own.
And you, mmm, you make me crazy.
Yeah, you, you make me crazy.
Oh well I don't wanna know about your past
Lets think of what we've got and make a good thing last
'Cause you, you make me crazy
Well you knock me out,
Oooh, but it feels all right.
You turn me on all day and.
You keep me up all night.
Oh, yeah.
Call all my friends to say, "I'm leavin' town"
Anytime my baby comes around.
And ooh, mmm, makes me crazy.
Well I'm crazy, crazy.
Crazy 'bout you baby.
I'm crazy, crazy, crazy
I'm crazy 'bout you baby.
I'm crazy 'bout my baby.
I'm crazy, crazy 'bout my baby.
'Cause you, you make me crazy.
I'm outta my mind.
You make me crazy.
Oh, this can't be right, no.
You make me crazy.
Got me up all night.
You make me crazy.
Crazy, crazy 'bout you baby.
You make me crazy.
Oh, it's so wrong, but it's all right, yeah.
You make me crazy.
Oh, baby
You make me crazy.
