Living In Paradise
I dont like those other guys looking at your curves
I dont like you walking round with physical jerks
Everything they say and do is getting on my nerves
Soon the will be lucky to be picking up the perks
cause when they pull the shutters down
And throw up in the dark,
Theyll find that all the dogs outside
Bite much worse than they bark.
Here we are living in paradise,
Living in luxury.
Oh, the thrill is here but it wont last long
You better have your fun before it moves along
And youre already looking for another,
Fool like me.
I call you betty felon cause you are a pretty villain
And I think that I should tell them that youd
Make a pretty killing
cause meanwhile up in heaven they are waiting at the gate
Saying wed always knew youd make it,
Didnt think youd come this late.
And now its much too dangerous to stop what youve begun
When everyone in paradise carries a gun
[chorus]
Later in the evening when arrangements are made,
Ill be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door.
cause Im the first to know whenever the plans are laid
That never go further than floor to floor.
You think that I dont know the boy that youre touching,
But Ill be at the video and I will be watching
[chorus]

Round & Round
(chorus)
Round and round I go
Where I stop
You will never know
Round and round I go
Where I stop
You will never know
(vs.1)
I just dont understand
What is your master plan
What did you have me do
Confusion in my mind
Been hurt a thousand times
Now I know youre not true

You dont know what it meant to me
Just to make you happy
All this time Ive waited
Now our love has faded
Please tell me why its gone
So my life can go on

I told you once before
Im walkin out the door

Thinking bout you all the time
Makes me so sad and blue

Love Or Money
Just dont look, no matter what they say
Dont let her get to you, make her go away
But youre only human
And the best laid plans of men go astray
So all your good sense
Goes out the door
When you see that girl walk across the floor
Too late youve seen her
Youve had a glimpse of paradise
Chorus
You never want to have to choose
Is it love or money now
Even if you win you lose
Is it love or money now
Ill close my eyes, I dont want to see you
Just go ahead say what you will
And Ill agree
I dont want illusions
Dont want confusions anymore
Chorus
Is it love or money, I said love or money
That can make your dreams come true
I know it sounds so funny
But its always love or money
That makes you do the crazy things that you do

Stop Where You Are
(words & music by grant - baum - kaye)
Stop where you are
Dont move an inch
Dont come any closer now baby
Youll be in a pinch
Dont start what you cant finish
I warn you whats in store
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Stop where you are
Youd better freeze
Dont pull the fire now baby
Dont be a tease
Dont start what you cant finish
I told you once before
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Dont you know, youre walking on dangerous ground
Listen babe when I make love
I just dont fool around, no I dont
I just dont play around
Stop where you are
Just take it slow
Once I put my hands on you baby
I wont let you go
Dont start what you cant finish
One kiss and I want more
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Stop where you are
Dont move an inch
Stop where you are
Youre gonna be in a pinch
Stop where you are
Youre gonna get what youre looking for

Slow Down
Written by dan peek, 1977
Found on harbor.
I hear you knockin but you cant come in
You wear your stockings like you think its a sin
Dont try to tell me you aint been where you been
cause I know that youve been messin round with him
So slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Come on down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Oh down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
I met you dancin at the high school gym
You rubbed against me my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that youd like to be friends
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down

You know before it gets too late

Too Gone Too Long
Did I hear you say that
You want another chance
You need another try
Youre ready to reclaim your prize
So you want my love back
Whyd you let it slip away
Whyd you ever let me go
Your change of heart has come too late
Well the door is locked you cant get in
The game has changed youve been
Chorus:
Too gone, too long baby
To ever get back again
In my heart
Too gone, too long baby
Youre too many tears too late
To ever get back to get back
In my arms
Been gone too gone too long
Verse 2:
Didnt you hear me say that
Youd be a fool to leave
Youd regret the road you chose
Youd come running right back to me
You had such a good love sugar
You never found in no one else
But what I knew all the time
You had to find out for yourself
But now youll never know
That love again
Youre on your own

Did you really think Id take you back
Let you back in my life
Oh baby just like that
Someone new is loving me
Loving you is what used to be
Baby youre too late to win my heart again

I Would Do For You
I didnt mean to be so late
Its just that I got talking
I had a drink with a couple of mates
Missed my bus and wound up walking
I tried to call and let you know
It was busy and I couldnt get through
I didnt want to let you down
I know how much it hurts you
I dont know what came over me
It must have slipped my mind
Ill try and make it up to you
Lets leave the past behind
I promise that Ill do my best
To mend my wicked ways
And dont believe the things you hear
Dont listen to what they say
(chorus)
I would do for you
All youd have me do
All you have to do
Is ask me to
All you have to do
Is tell me when
And Ill come running back again
If theres something wrong then let me know
Dont bottle things inside
Your pretty eyes can melt my heart
Your sadness they cant hide
Please try and give me one more chance
To set the record straight
Meet me here tomorrow night
And I promise I wont be late

I would do for you.......(etc)

Take It Like A Man
When you wont go along
Some will feel like you cant find your way
Heaven knows
Heaven knows Ive seen it all before
Now dont get me wrong
Ive seen many a life gone astray
When someone goes
All your bows wont make it any better so let it go
Chorus
Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good well take you by the hand
cause you need a little more
Maybe no one will say it
Maybe no ones aware it goes on
All I know
All I know its like going off the deep end
Could you make a decision?
Could you think for yourself and go on?
Everyone knows
Everyone knows youve got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes
Chorus
Close your eyes
Look away now
Make believe while you can
So youd best go along
Dont let on if you cant find your way

Many more do it for you
Because heaven knows

When Youre Alone
Times were tough love was not enough
So you said sorry johnny Im gone gone gone
You said my act was funny
But we both knew what was missing honey
So you let out on your own
Now that pretty form that youve got baby
Will make sure you get along
But youre gonna find our someday honey
When youre alone youre alone
When youre alone youre alone
When youre alone youre alone
When youre alone you aint nothing but alone
Now I was young and pretty on the mean streets of the city
And I fought to makeem my home
With just the shirt on my back I left and swore Id never look back
And man I was gone gone gone
But theres things thatll knock you down you dont even see coming
And send you crawling like a baby back home
Youre gonna find out that day sugar
When youre alone...
I knew some day your runnin would be through
And youd think back on me and you
And your love would be strong
Youd forget all the bad and think only of all the laughs that we had
And youd wanna come home
Now it aint hard feelings or nothin sugar
That aint whats got me singing this song
Its just nobody knows baby where love goes
But when it goes its gone gone
When youre alone...

Paradise
(n. rodgers/g. smith)
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Are you looking for some place you can be free
Are you looking, looking for someone you want to be
You ran away from home girl - searching for your shangri-la
Wherever you may roam girl in my mind you wont be far
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Youre a prisoner inside a gilded cage
You keep praying sayin there must be a better way
Youve got the best intentions of this I dont have any doubts
I cant help but to mention dont you know what lifes about
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for

Paradise is what youre looking for

The Least You Can Do
I was lying awake last night, waiting for your call
But if the rumours are true, that wont bother you at all
Im trying hard to understand
What it takes to be your man
Now I dont have to wonder anymore
Least you can do is say youre sorry
Least you can do is give me back my heart
Just give me back my heart
Seems living in hope was wrong those years I was away
Thinking your letters, I never received, had gone astray
You said youd always be there for me
Like a fool I thought youd be
Now I dont know what I was thinking at all
But the least you can do is say youre sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I wont come around no more
You wont find me standing outside your door
Least you can do is tell me why, tell me why
The least you can do is say youre sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I wont come around no more
You wont find me standing outside your door
But the least you can do is tell me why
I wont be your fool anymore
Theres no need to be cruel anymore no, no
Least you can do is say youre sorry girl
The least you can do is give me back my heart .just give me back my heart

Finding Me
I dont think you notice
When you see my face
I guess youre waiting
To spin me around again
Wheels I guess are turning
Somewhere inside my head
I know that this is
Deeper than you get
But youre coming back again
You dont mean to waste my time
But youre coming back so
Chorus
Dont tell me
How to be
cause I like some suffering
Dont ask me
What I need
Im just fine
Here finding me
Me
Ive already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who Im talking to
Oh so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know its touching
But Ive been out of touch
And its all that I can do
Im a sight for my sore eyes
But its all I am so
Chorus
I dont think you notice
When I cant reach out
I guess youre waiting
On somebody else again
Oh so much for talking
Its all been said before
Im hearing something
But I wish youd just say more
But youre going off again
When I try to just hold on
But youre going off so

Kicks
You thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night,
But, when you wake up in the morning, the world still gets you uptight,
Well, theres nothing that you aint tried
To fill the emptiness inside,
But, when you come back down, you still aint feeling right.
It seems like kicks just keep getting harder to find,
All your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind,
Before you find out its too late,
Youd better get straight,
But, not with kicks, you just need help now.
You think youre gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise,
But, it aint happened yet, so now youd better think twice,
Dont you see, no matter what you do,
Youll never run away from you
If you keep on running, youll have to pay the price.
Dont it seem like, kicks just keep getting harder to find,
All your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind,
Before you find out its too late,
Youd better get straight,
But, not with kicks.
To help you face the world each day,
That road goes nowhere,
Im gonna help you find yourself another way.
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
You dont need kicks, now,
And all your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind
You just need help, now,
Before you find out its too late, youd better get straight
Youd better, youd better, youd better.
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
You dont need kicks, now,
And all your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind
You just need help, now,
Before you find out its too late, youd better get straight
Youd better, youd better, youd better.
Kicks just keep getting harder to find
And all your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind
Before you find out its too late, youd better get straight

And all your kicks aint bringing you peace of mind

Youd never know there was some music playin
Until you talked your way inside the door
And then a sound like rollin thunder
Begins to push you right thru the floor
And theres a great white sign

And she was dressed the way the stories tell
So bein cool I made a move to grab her
But you could see she read story well
And then she whipped out a card

Got no time for temperament.
Bad attitude wont make a dent.
Dont cry baby, dont cry at all.
Got no need to take the fall.
Dont go on strike. you know what I like. you know how to love me, daddy - loose but tight.
Your mood is down, Im losing ground and soon enough youre gonna have your day.
Get your way.
Theres no need to stay at home alone.
No need for slamming the phone.
Got no need to kick the cat or get too high.
No need for that.
The silences when you dont speak - much worse than when you scolding me.
The silences when you wont speak - its not the silence thats golden to me.
Look out!

Get up!
Turn it up a bit.
Get up!
Turn it up a bit.
Im self contained.
I use my brain and I keep the people entertained.
Its a long way up with no elevator, but Im gonna get there sooner or later cuz the last thing that Im gonna do is not do what I wanted to.
Get up!
Turn it up a bit.
Get up!
Turn it up a bit.
Like frankenstein and danger mouse Im gonna make some noise and rock the house!
You have been demanding. throwing temper tantrums. soon enough your gonna get your way.
You have been highhanded. setting super standards. soon enough youre gonna get your way.
You have been vindictive. you can go and stick it. pretty soon youre gonna get your way.
Dont you go on strike. you know just what I like now. pretty soon youre gonna have your day.
Get your way.
Youre so dramatic, youre too emphatic, but soon enough youre gonna get your way.
Weve been conflicting. youd better start thinking and pretty soon youre gonna get your way.
Dont go on strike. you know what I like. you know how to love me, daddy - loose but tight.
Your mood is down. Im losing ground and soon enough youre gonna have your day.

Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, I dont do much talking
You say youre happy and youre doin fine well go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Well for a while Ive been watching you steady
Aint gonna move til youre good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But I know pretty soon youll be walkin this way
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Baby dont you know I dont care
Dont you know that Ive been there
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Dont worry darling, itll slip your mind
I know you think youd never be mine
Well thats okay, baby, I dont mind
That shy smiles sweet, thats a fact
Go ahead, I dont mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well one more step and itll be too late
Blue blue ribbon in your hair
Like youre so sure Ill be standing here

And I remember you even back then
And I remember you from back then
And I remember back then that I swore that for you Id drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you Id drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you Id drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you Id drive all night
Through the wind
Through the rain
Through the snow
Just to buy you some shoes
Just to check you out
Just to kiss that pretty face
Just to taste your tender charms
Just to sleep
Just to sleep
In your arms
Babe, maybe you wasnt even listening
Maybe you wasnt even listening
But I remember you promised that youd never go anyplace without me
You swore that youd never go anyplace without me
You promised that youd never leave without me
You swore that youd never leave without me
And like everything else
And everybody else from back then you promised
And baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Little girl you lied
So now youve come back
So now youve come back
So now youve come back

Wotcha Gonna Do
Written by ricki, kim & marty wilde
I couldnt believe what I read when I got your letter
Said you needed to take some time to work out your life, yeah
Well, its easy for you to just go off and do what you want
Any time you please
Dont expect me to wait
If you leave its too late
Youre gonna have to crawl back on your knees
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Wotcha gonna do
I knew youd been feeling the need to just change direction
But I didnt know you were gonna walk away from me, no
Now youre out on your own cos you think youve outgrown
All the things that you left behind
But its crazy to see
Cos you know without me
Youre gonna end up losing more than you find
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Yeah, yeah
Now dont be a fool on yourself
Cos youve got so much to lose
And I really love you baby
Dont you know that I do, yeah
