Isn't that the guy you were seein' last summer?
Baby, don't deny it, I can tell he's your lover
'Cause I caught you in a lie and I saw that little number
When you thought I wasn't looking, you were eyein' each other.
Isn't that the guy that you said you were leavin'?
When you looked me in the eye and you had me believin'
Everything you said, girl, I just didn't see it.
Now you're playing with my head, baby, I don't need it.
Isn't that the guy that you told me you were over with;
Thinking that you'd get by without me knowing it?
Do you think I'm blind? And all the time you were fakin',
It's blowing my mind, and I just can't take it no more.
(You say) You say, (You say) You say, (You say) You say, (You say) You say,
(You say) You say, (You say) You say, (You say) You say, (You say) No way!

Tryin' to be cool with this goin' on in front of me;
Tryin' not to be the fool I don't wanna be.
Was he on your mind every time you were lovin' me?
Don't prentend you don't know he was here to keep you company.
Isn't that the guy you were seein' last summer, baby?
Baby, don't deny it, I can tell he's your lover
'Cause I caught you in a lie and I saw that little number
When you thought I wasn't looking, you were eyein' each other. Oh, yeah.
(You say) You say, (You say) You say, (You say) You say, (You say) You say,
(You say) You say, (You say) You say, (You say) You say, (You say) No way!

Go on and say it (say it). You made me play it.
Right in my face, it was (face it was) a cold-hearted embrace.
All I can do is (do is) stand there and take it (take it).
I bought every single lie you were sellin'.
How did he know if you didn't tell him?

(Light up the night)
(I saw the light)
(Oh)
(You know that ain't right)
(Light up the night) Yeah!
(You know that ain't right) You know that ain't right.
(Oh) I didn't see it comin'.
(I saw the light) I saw the light.
(Light up the night) Oooh!
(I saw the light) I saw the light.
(Oh) I know that he's the one.
(You know that ain't right) You know that ain't right, baby.
(Light up the night) Oooh!
(I saw the light) I saw the light.
(Oh) Yeah!
(You know that ain't right) You know that ain't right, baby.

Talkin' 'bout my baby, the little Latin Lupe Lu.
She's a high-flyin' lady; ain't no dance she couldn't do.
She's my little Latin baby; little Latin Lupe Lu.

If you wanna do it right, little Lupe show you how.
If you wanna get crazy, she's the best for miles around.
Rock me now, pretty baby; little Latin Lupe Lu.

A-poppa, poppa, Lupe, Lupe. Ah, shake it Lupe Lu.
You can do it pretty baby. C'mon and do the Hootchie Koo.
She's my little Latin baby; little Latin Lupe Lu

Look at Killer Joe go cuttin' in on me.
Playin' like he don't know she belongs to me.
Look at how they walkin'; holdin' her so tight.
Someone better tell him he lookin' for a fight.
Go on and tell him; go on and tell him she's supposed to be with me.
(Killer Joe) (Killer Joe) (Killer Joe) (Killer Joe)
(Killer Joe) (Killer Joe) (Killer Joe) (Killer Joe)

I'm talkin' 'bout my baby, little Latin Lupe Lu.
She makin' me crazy. Ain't nothin I can do.
A little Latin baby; little Latin Lupe Lu

A-poppa, poppa, Lupe, Lupe. Ah shake it, Lupe Lu.
You can do it to me baby. C'mon and do the Hootchie Koo.
She's my little Latin baby; little Latin Lupe Lu.
Hey! (poppa, poppa, Lupe, Lupe) poppa, poppa, Lupe, Lupe.
(Shake it Lupe Lu) Yeah, shake it Lupe Lu.
C'mon and do it to me baby. C'mon and do the Hootchie Koo.
She's my little Latin baby; little Latin Lupe Lu.
Little Latin Lupe Lu.
Little Latin Lupe Lu.
Little Latin Lupe.

You can't believe your eyes, the lines that show;
The mirror doesn't lie, you're growin' old.
The love, the love, the love you thought would last a lifetime is growin' cold.
You're the one who had to run and hold the fire (whoa).
You were hot and always got your one desire (whoa).
Now you say your hands are shakin',
Now you say your heart is breakin',
Now you've got a funny feelin' nothin' lasts forever, hold the fire.
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Gotta hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire)

You said you'd never change, you were born to fly.
But, now you're feelin' strange and you don't know why.
The time, the time, the time you'd thought would last forever has left you dry.
You're the one who had to run and hold the fire (whoa).
You were hot and always got your one desire (whoa).
Peace and love you once called freedom;
You ain't sure you're still believin',
Now you've got a funny feelin' nothin' lasts forever, hold the fire.
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Gotta hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold the fire.

(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire.
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold on, hold on
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Just hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Oh
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire)
(You were hot and always got your one desire)

Say, say your love.
Say your love words.
Say your love.
Say your love words.

Love is a wave alone on an ocean;
Someone you crave in perpetual motion.
Needing nobody: that's always the message you send.
It's being alone that troubles and grieves you.
The one that you'd die for, she finally sees you.
One chance only to never be lonely again.
What did playin' the role ever get you?
Tell her you love her (you love her) and she'll let you.

All the love in the world's in your hands tonight;
Everything you are needing.
All your love's in your words, if you say them right,
Everything you are feeling.

Say, say your love.
Say your love words.
Say your love.
Say your love words.

You're tough and you're strong: that's just what she's learning.
But she's got you wrong: you are desperately yearning
For someone to love you, maybe even a friend.
So why do I see a broken connection?
I'm talkin' to me and it's just my reflection.
One chance only to never be lonely again.
What did playin' the role ever get you?
Tell her you love her (you love her), oooh, and she'll let you.

All the love in the world's in your hands tonight;
Everything you are needing.
All your love's in your words, if you say them right,
Everything you are feeling;
Everything you are feeling.

All the love in the world's in your hands tonight;
Everything you are needing.
All your love's in your words, if you say them right,
Everything you are feeling;
Everything you are feeling.

Say, say your love.
Say your love words.
Say your love, love words.
Say, say your love.
Say your love words.
Say your love, love words.

( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )

In the twenty-first century, we'll all be together.
In the one world fantasy, we'll all live forever
And we'll save ourselves; we just keep getting better.
Megamation man, gonna hear the call,
We're gonna have it all.
Tell the boys and girls we got a brand new world,
Got a brand new plan: megamation man.

In the twenty-first century, we got a brand new religion.
We'll end the misery of the human condition.
No more mystery 'cause the beast has risen.
Megamation man, gonna hear the call,
We're gonna have it all.
Tell the boys and girls we got a brand new world,
Got a brand new plan: megamation man.

In the twenty-first century, the motives are higher;
And peace and harmony kiss from the ball of fire.
Just what we need is a brand new messiah: a megamation man.
Oh, gonna hear the call, we're gonna have it all.
Tell the boys and girls we got a brand new world,
Got a brand new plan: megamation man.

( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )
( No more border in the new world order. )

It don't stop, it just keeps on goin' just like a rock but there ain't no slowin' it down.
On the street all the noise keeps growin'. It don't stop, it just keeps on goin'

I look up in the sky. I see creation about a trillion miles away.
You an me sittin' here, a small conversation; what the hell we got to say?
Well, if you want the truth, better change the station; just let the music play. 'Cause
It don't stop, it just keeps on goin' just like a rock but there ain't no slowin' it down.
On the street all the noise keeps growin'. It don't stop, it just keeps on goin'

Lookin' for a place to hide and drink my coffee; any little place that I can find.
And if I come to you, will you speak softly, and be a friend of mine?
If you see a monkey on my back, will you take him off me before I'm out of time? 'Cause
It don't stop, it just keeps on goin' just like a rock but there ain't no slowin' it down.
On the street all the noise keeps growin'. It don't stop, it just keeps on goin'

You say you wanna be president and save the nation; you say you've got a plan.
Well, God bless you, I hope you do. Congratulations! Just take it like a man.
Well, as for me, I'll just be sittin' over here waitin' for the Lamb. 'Cause
It don't stop, it just keeps on goin' just like a rock but there ain't no slowin' it down.
On the street all the noise keeps growin'. It don't stop, it just keeps on goin'

. . .


And I'm face to face with a vision, something I saw in a dream.
And I reach out to touch; think I love you too much;
Things just ain't what they seem.
And all these feelings I'm feeling, that don't have a name
'Cause angels and strangers, they all look the same
Don't talk to strangers; don't believe what they say.
Don't pray to angels, they'll lead you astray.
Oh, I'm in love and I can't shake it. (angels, angels)
Well if this is love, then, I can't take it. (angels, angels)
Don't need no revelation take my heart and leave me shakin'.
Visions of love are filled with danger, angels, and strangers.

On the edge of temptation, goin' over the line.
Break my heart and my concentration, goin' out of my mind.
You know that I wanna love you. I wanna give you my heart.
But, angels and strangers, ooh, you can't tell them apart.
Don't talk to strangers; don't believe what they say.
Don't pray to angels, they'll lead you astray.
Oh, I'm in love and I can't shake it (I can't shake it) (angels, angels)
Well if this is love, then, I can't take it (I can't take it) (angels, angels)
Don't need no mystery lady (mystery lady) break my heart and make me crazy
Visions of love are filled with danger, angels, and strangers.

Visions of love, lovers unknown;
Angels and strangers, leave me alone.
One's out to love you, one's out betrayed;
Angels and strangers, just go away.

. . .


And if you think you're goin' crazy
Remember, I got there before you.
The little demons used to chase me;
Had me thinkin' they were cool, fool!
Aw, give it all,
Don't believe in T.V. and the mall.
Aw, give it all,
Don't believe what you see anymore.

Don't be scared to be rejected.
Don't give in, they won't expect it.
You can do your dream, just give it all.

And if you think the ground is shakin',
It's just the sound of baby-boom!
All the good stuff has been taken;
'Ya think there's nothin' left for you, that ain't true.
Aw, give it all,
Don't believe in T.V. and the mall.
Aw, give it all,
Don't believe what you see anymore.

Don't look up if they impress you.
Don't look down, it may depress you.
It ain't that far if you fall, so give it all.

(guitar solo followed by an instrumental break and chorus adlibs)

So, grit your teeth and grind your axes,
Trust in God, and pay your taxes.
Go break down the wall, but give it all!

. . .


And she sits with a cup of coffee, lights another cigarette,
Stares out the kitchen window, and wonders if that's all she gets.
She thinks about back in high school, turns on the radio,
But the old songs just remind her what she was a long time ago.
Ooh, she's lookin' for a rainbow, all she knows.
Ooh, lookin' for a magic rainbow day in the snow.
Hey, girl, don't be so hard on yourself,
You're only like everyone else and we all go through those changes.
Hey, girl, heaven still waits in your eyes
Even though time passes by as you're going through this world an everyday, ordinary girl.

And she looks at the ring on her finger, thinks about her wedding day,
That just gets her dreaming about the boy that got away.
And a kiss from a distant summer still lights up her eyes
And it brings back all the feelings like a thousand fireflies; ooh-ooh-ooh.
Oh, she's lookin' for a rainbow, all she knows.
Ooh, lookin' for a magic rainbow day in the snow.
Girl, don't be so hard on yourself,
You're only like everyone else and we all go through those changes.
Hey, girl, heaven still waits in your eyes
Even though time passes by as you're going through this world an everyday, ordinary girl.

(saxophone solo)

Even though time passes by as you're going through this world an everyday, ordinary girl;
A very special, ordinary girl.

. . .


(Tonight, you're mine.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
Take me so far away. I don't care any more.
Can't hear a word you say. I just wanna love you some more.
Girl, when you're next to me and you're holdin' me tight, you are the best for me.
Love's right in my face. It's so close I can taste it. It's love and that makes it alright.
I don't know where it's goin'. My weak side is showin'.
Baby, I didn't mean to love you, Amy, baby, I do.

(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
Streamin' like fireflies, we light up the night
Flyin' through paradise and aren't we a beautiful sight? Ooh.
When you do love with me, I'm a movie star: street lights and fantasy.
I love lookin' at you and watchin' a natural angel, cause that's who you are.
I don't know where it's goin'. My feelings are flowin'.
Baby, what else can I do? Amy, baby, I love you.

(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)
(Tonight, you're mine. Take your time.)

I love Christmas time, mistletoe, and cherry wine;
Songs of Christmas cheer when Christmas time is here.
Love to hear the whole world singing.
All the jingle bells are ringing.
Joy to the world! I Love Christmas!

When I was three, my momma took me to see Santa Claus.
Up to the second floor of the department store and there he was.
I asked him, "Could ya' please bring a teddy bear?"
He told me not to worry: he'd be there.
But does Santa keep his promises? Yes he does. Yes he does!
I love Christmas time, mistletoe, and cherry wine;
Songs of Christmas cheer when Christmas time is here.
Love to hear the whole world singing.
All the jingle bells are ringing.
Joy to the world! I Love Christmas!

So now I'm watching my own kids under the Christmas tree.
I hear ‘em playing and laughing, just like it was me.
And I thank the good Lord everyday that we live here in the U.S.A.
And from my heart all I can say is, "Happy Birthday, Jesus!"
I love Christmas time, mistletoe, and cherry wine;
Songs of Christmas cheer when Christmas time is here.
Love to hear the whole world singing.
All the jingle bells are ringing.
Joy to the world! I Love Christmas!
