Opportunity
Born in the middle of a second big baby boom
Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon
Now Im looking for a little girl, I wonder where shes gone
Big money for families having more than one
Opportunity, opportunity
This is your big opportunity
They shop around
Follow you without a sound
Whatever you do now
Dont turn around
Whatever happened to the pride of the nation?
They say, just wait until you break formation
She was sitting pretty on a velvet cushion
But her bedroom eyes were like a button she was pushing
She said, when they get to dover theyll be be taking over
I said Id come to her defense and then she pulled me over
Chorus
Im in the foxhole, Im down in the trench
Id be a hero but I cant stand the stench
The fitness institute was full of general motormen
And the hello house of beauty wouldnt stand a chance with them
The chairman of this boredom is a company collector
Id like to be his funeral director
Chorus
Please dont turn around...

Dont Stand Another Chance
Standin at the edge of time bout to lose my mind
cause you try to take him away from me, I wont let it be
You just walk into my life and try to take away my only prize
But you better give credit cause his love is right here for me
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
He belongs to me, just wait and see
Take him in my arms, give him love, not too much of me
Nothin you can do or say to make him look your way
So you better give credit cause its gonna come walking my way
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance (ohh)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance
Sit and wait at home bout to leave me alone (I know baby)
Youll be with him when hes up, not down, to keep him on the ground
Let me tell you something, its true, hes not in love with you
So you better give credit cause its nothing coming down your way
You dont stand another chance (not a chance, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (baby) you dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
Well, you know somebodys gotta lose
We all cant win... maybe next time, okay
You guys are confusing
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (another chance)

Speedin Back To My Baby
Im drivin down the road, doin 95 miles per hour, oh yeah
My radios blastin and Im passin cars faster and faster, aha

We always seem to fight when things are goin right and maybe, aha

One Night Stand
Let me tell you.....
Jennys getting her stuff in my room
Puts on her skirt and shes looking good
Six am and shes leaving soon
Says what a crazy night I had
A real good time
But her kiss tells me its goodbye
Just like nothing happened last night
But if I had one chance
Id do it all over again
One night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking for a one night stand
I dont think shes coming back for more
No no
Now Im left up in my lonely room
She left her underwear and her perfume
I never thought that it could be this good
And I still feel a little on my fingertips
Im trying hard not to feel rejected
Maybe the phone lines disconnected
But if I had one chance
Id do it all over again
I know it
One night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking for a one night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking
One night stand but Id do it all again for sure
Oh yeah
Baby like a blind man I rushed in
Now do I have the right to ask you,
Will you be coming back again?
One night stand I dont think shes coming back
One night stand I dont think shes coming back
One night stand I dont think shes coming back
One night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking
One night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking for a one night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking for a one night stand I dont think shes coming back for more
She was only looking
One night stand but Id do it all again for sure
I guess it was a one night stand
One night stand
I guess it was a one night stand
One night stand
I guess it was a one night stand
One night stand
I guess it was a one night stand
One night stand
I know it, yeah

Golden Opportunity
(ian hunter)
The kids are ok
Theyre telling you now
But youre letting them down
Cause you just dont know how
And its a golden opportunity
Im spinning in space
Im laughing away
Your so pathetic
I can just hear them say
Its like a golden opportunity
You better hear it
See hear it
Its a golden opportunity
You better hear it
Get near it

We reckon theyre rats
Now see how they run
My house is so common
And were dumb were so dumb
And its a golden opportunity
Scream all you suckers
Scream all you can
Im losing my bluff
Its a scam its a scam
And its a golden opportunity

Thinking About His Baby
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Hes up all night, thinking about his baby
He tries to fight, the knot he feels inside
He sits alone, and wonders where shes gone
They know the rules, but they want something more
All they need to say, so why do they hide away
They should be together
All the lonely nights, will they ever realize
That they feel the same
Chorus:
Ooh, thinking about his baby
He wants his baby and he wont rest till he gets his baby
Shes up all night, thinking about his baby
And nothings right, until hes by her side
Bridge:
Taking everything they turn it the other way
Only to feel the pain
And they really care, they need one another there
And theyll find their way
They dont need money, to get what they want
They need to realize just what theyve got
They dont need nothing to push them along
They just need love
Repeat bridge then chorus fade

I Won't Close My Eyes
(chorus)
I won't close my eyes
To the sufferers plight.
In a world full of sadness
I won't turn off my light.
Our cries for justice are shots in the dark
But our strength's in our bite
And not in our bark
It's time to stand
And shout it out loud
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
(chorus)
I won't close my eyes
When i know that i'm right
When i'm drowning in tears
I won't turn off my light.
We're shown no respect
But that can't break our pride,
When our backs to the wall
We won't run and we won't hide
It's time to stand, face the oncoming crowd
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
(chorus)
I wont't close my eyes
When the future don't look bright
Though the road seems too long
I won't turn off my light
In a world full of darkness,
I won't turn off my light

Hey baby boy, ya get down with a girl
That dont appreciate you
What you waiting for
Theres someone standing here
Thatll treat you like a real man
She dont care about you
Cant you understand
You need to take my hand
Holla back

And keep it on the low

Make me your woman
Boy what you waiting for

To swing your love in my way

To correct a mistake now

From all your memories
Home girl must be deleted now
She dont love you boy
And shes never around

In The Evening
(jones/page/plant)
In the evening, when the day is done
Im looking for a woman, but the girl dont come
So dont let her, play you for a fool
She dont show no pity baby, she dont make no rules
*chorus: oh, oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I just got to have
So dont you let her, oh, get under your skin
Its only bad luck and trouble, from the day that you begin
I hear you crying in the darkness, dont ask nobodys help
Aint no pockets full of mercy baby, cause you can only blame yourself
Chorus
Oh its simple, all the pain that you go through
You can turn away from fortune, fortune, cause thats all thats left to you
Its lonely at the bottom, man, its dizzy at the top
But if youre standing in the middle, aint no way youre gonna stop
Chorus
Oh whatever that your days may bring
No use hiding in a corner, cause that wont change a thing
If youre dancing in the doldrums, one day soon, its got to stop, its got to stop
When youre the master of the off-chance, when you dont expect a lot

Turns To Stone
A thousand miles underneath my emotions
Hidden from the eyes of everyone
No one must know
All the secrets if my soul anymore
No never again
Girl youve got the only key
To open up the door only you
Eventually, even that could change
Chorus:
I will wait for you
But I dont want to wait forever
Cause Im on my own
Im trying to keep the fire from getting cold
I will wait for you
But I dont want to wait
Until our love turns to stone
I dont want to turn to stone
I dont want to spend another night without you
Im afraid my mind will start to wander
Time between us,
Hours turning into days, into years
Oh, oh, oh
Looking back at what went wrong
Some things we must let you
Eventually, somethings got to give
(chorus)
I dont want to turn to stone

Spoken
Baby can I talk to you
I know somethings wrong
Things just aint the same
But deep down inside I know you still care
So tell me what to do to get things back
The way they used to be
If your words have meaning
If you really cared about me
Tell me why cant I find love in your heart
If you are my lover
A constant friend to me
Tell me why would you turn away from my love
Chorus
So darlin tell me what to do to make things right
Darlin tell me what to do to make things right
Darlin tell me what to do to make things right for love
Tell me what to do to make things right for love
If your words have reason
Then they would turn away from me
Theyre trying hard to hide all truth you might say
If you listen to me girl
If you know how Im feeling inside
Then maybe you wouldnt shut me out your life baby
Chorus
Cant you see
All Im asking is for a chance to let me love you
Cant you see
Girl you know with me is where you should be
And if by chance that we should find
That it can be for you and i
Then girl Ill try

Id give anything for your love
Tell me how can I make it right

Theres so many ways to love
So just open your heart
And Ill find a way
Cant you see

Cant you see girl you know this is where you should be, ooh

I was so frightened
I almost ran away
I didnt know that I could do
Anything I needed to
And then a bolt of lightning
Hit me on my head
Then I began to see
I just needed to believe in me
Now i, I believe in me
And i, I believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
They said I didnt stand a chance
I wouldnt win no way
But Ive got news for you
Theres nothing I cant do
Aint no pretending
Aint no make believe
But Ive got to be the one
I gotta do what must be done
Chorus
I believe in me
Yes, I believe in me - yeah
I dont need no money
I dont need no fame....no
I just need to believe in me
And I know most definitely
Dont need to get wasted
It only holds me down
I just need a will of my own
And the balls to stand alone

Well do you really
Yes, I believe in me
Do you do you
Yes, I believe in me
I wanna rock n roll
Yes, I believe in me!

Didnt Mean To Turn You On
Let you take me out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I wasnt tryin to lead you on
Now you bring me home
And tell me goodnights
Not enough for you
Im sorry baby
I didnt mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasnt trying to lead you on
I want a friend
I didnt mean to turn you on
I didnt mean to turn you on
I know you
Expected a one night stand
When I refused
I knew you wouldnt understand
Boy I told you twice
I was only tryin to be nice
Only tryin to be nice
Oh

Oh I didnt mean to turn you on
Turn you on
Tell me why should i
Feel guilty cause I wont give
Guilty cause I wont give in
I didnt mean to turn you on

You think that Im a fool
Cause I wouldnt play by your rules

You dont stand a chance
All I want to do is dance with you

But I guess this is the

Cause I didnt mean to turn you on

Written By Stevie Nicks.
You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining over ocean crashing
Dont say that shes pretty
And did you say that she loved you
Baby I dont want to know
So I begin not to love you
Turn round, see me running
I say I loved you years ago
But tell myself you never loved me no
And dont say that shes pretty
And did you say that she loved you
Baby I dont want to know
Oh no
And can you tell me was it worth it
Baby I dont want to know
Time cast a spell on you
But you wont forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
Time cast a spell on you
But you wont forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
I follow you down till the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(give me just a chance)
Youll never get away from the sound
Of the woman who loves you
(was I just a fool)
I follow you down till the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(give me just a chance)
Youll never get away from the sound
Of the woman who loves you

Dont Stand So Close To Me
Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her theres longing
This girls an open page
Book marking - shes so close now
This girl is half his age
Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes its not so easy
To be the teachers pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, shes waiting
His car is warm and dry
Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
Its no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in

You will surely die!
Opportunity what is that?
Is it bad or good?
Is a relationship with another
Person an opportunity to grow or to die...
As in I wish I were dead.
A woman is indeed a rare, rare opportunity
And if you ever get the chance to meet such
An opportunity...
And mistreat her, you will surely die.
A woman is the cradle of life...
She is a pandora box...
She is also a fox.
A woman is awake up smile
A mother to a child
A doctor or lawyer when she need be...
She was created for the world and me.
So an opportunity to be in the company of woman is rare.
God created such perfection there...emotional perfection.
Woman is an opportunity of good will...
Still.

But I dont understand if I buy the goods
Why I cant own the store
