Did It In A Minute
Lyrics & music: daryl hall, sara allen, janna allen
When you find yourself alone
And when going out is coming home
You rely on the kid 'cause theres nobody waiting around
If youre not an easy mark
Its a shot in the dark that hits the heart
I know when its coming
(I thought so anyway)
Some things stay the some and some are due for change
I thought I had them all nailed down
But you turned 'em around
You did you did it you did it you did it in a minute
It didnt take long
Well I still cant say I know
When a love is real or touch and go
And if two can be one, who is the one two becomes
Am I quick enough to see
When Im ready and its right for me
Say that I want it (I think so anyway)
Everybody always laughs at love
But what they want is to be proven wrong
Then you came along and I did it

Unguarded Minute
Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
Maybe I speak too soon
Maybe I play too hard
And I listen to major worries in a minor way
You sent your message to me
Made a move that Id understand
When you moved from a ticket in line
To a room in l.a.
There was a time spit second I could have said please
Fool around and my guard was down by a few degrees
An unguarded minute has an accident in it.
I guess I should have tried a little bit
Yeah, I could have changed
I could be anything that ya want
But it wouldnt be me
Do anything that you say
Use any thought to armor the way
So do you love them man that I am,
Or what you want me to be
I wanna hold you now but I can let you go
So anytime you can do better just let me know
An unguarded minute has an accident in it
I wanna hold you tight.

Tell Me What You Want
Lyrics: daryl hall, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
When I look in your eyes I can see theres more than passion there
Something ugly and lovely is tuning in just behind your stare
Yeah, Ive seen it before and I think that Id know it anywhere
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know
Grin and bare it, no no I like what youre wearing
You gotta leave it on all night
As above so below so they say so can we do the magick [sic] right
Kiss and tell, when I know you so well theres no need to be polite
Thats right
So tell me girl what you want

Take a position 'cause you know Im gonna listen to you
Tell me
Aint no conditions, no there isnt baby ya dont have to sell me
'cause I love you and I want you tonight
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know.

Private Eyes
Lyrics & music: daryl hall, warren pash, sara allen, janna allen
I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin the lines when youre making a scene
Oh girl, youve got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When its watching for lies
You cant escape my
Private eyes
Theyre watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
Theyre watching you
Private eyes
Theyre watching you watching you watching you watching you
You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that aint enough
Cause girl Im gonna know
If youre letting me in or letting me go
Dont lie when youre hurting inside
cause you cant escape my
Private eyes
Theyre watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes

Theyre watching you watching you watching you watching you
Why you try to put up a front for me
Im a spy but on your side you see
Slip on, into any disguise
Ill still know you
Look into my private eyes

Im In Pieces
Music by daryl hall
Lyrics by daryl hall, janna allen
Why do I go all to pieces
When youre breezin by
My desire makes me shy
The words I wanna say to you
But baby Im afraid to
'cause Ive been a fool in love
Over and over again
You gotta know Im in trouble
Im all undone
Got my heart in your hand, understand? .
Cant cool down the passion
Cant stop the reaction
So be careful with a fool in love
Who is over his head again
Im in pieces
Im in pieces over you
Girl I cant hold. out
Got to hold back my obsession
'cause I care too much
But its hard-to pretend (once again)
Cant slow down every heartbeat:.:
No catchin up on lost sleep
Gone so far and Im so deep over my. head again
Im in pieces
Im in pieces over you
Girl I cant hold out
Guess Ill go to pieces now
You shatter my pattern
You let me see daylite
Im takin up habits
Just to break em all over again

Comin Home
(allen collins -- ronnie vanzant)
Its been so long since Ive been gone
Another day might be too long for me
Traveling around Ive had my fill
Of broken dreams and dirty deals
A concrete jungle surrounding me
Many nights Ive slept out in the streets
I paid my dues and I changed my style
Seen hard times. all over now
I want to come home. its been so long since Ive been away
And please, dont blame me cause Ive tried
Ill be coming home soon to your love to stay
I miss old friends that I once had
Times aint changed and Ill be glad when I go home
I dont know why the thought came to me
But why Im here I really cant see. and now...
I want to come home. its been so long since Ive been away
And please, dont blame me cause Ive tried
Ill be coming home soon to your love to stay
Coming home to stay
Coming home to your love, mama
Ive seen better days
I miss old friends that I once had
Times aint changed and Ill be glad when I go home
I dont know why the thought came to me
But why Im here I really cant see. and now...
I want to come home. its been so long since Ive been away
And please, dont blame me cause Ive tried
Ill be coming home soon to your love to stay
Coming home to stay

Hard To Be In Love With You
Lyrics: daryl hall john oates
Music: daryl hall, john oates, neil jason
Dont want to face it but I know that its time to go home
I cannot say what I want to say when were alone
Ive got to leave but I want to stay
Where you are is so far from the u.s. of a.
When were more than half a world away
Its so hard to be in love with you
Operator, international 011, oh
Put your love on the line, put your ear to the phone
Maybe its no longer than a night and a day
But where you are is so far from the u.s. of a.
And it aint so easy, easy on the heart
Its so hard to be in love with you

Downtown Life

Lyrics by daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene & work it brother
Moving thru sound
Citys like wild life
Overgrown & living undercover
Wound up so tight
We love the downtown life
Driftin thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life. it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Velvet lou was a neighbor of mine
Now he walks the dog in jersey, brother
Yuppies in black doin white collar crime
Scared away the. local color
But they cant steal the nite
We love the downtown life
Driftin thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Downtown life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the lite to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
My baby knows shes got to go for this kind of life
'cause city love cant stand. to see the sunlite
Dawn patrol better leave me alone
'cause I can only take it for so long
Going down isnt hard to do
The king of clubs and.queen of hearts fall too
She says, if you believe this is only a lonely time,
Stay at home boys the blues are lost on you
Aint it true
We love the downtown life
Drifting thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Downtown life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the night to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on

Missed Opportunity
Music by daryl hall
Lyrics by daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Keep on missing each other
Our worlds out of order
All I see is missed opportunity
Will we ever learn
In trouble where will we turn
And when youre losing the fight
Whos your white knight gonna be
Feel you drift away
(oh baby) you dont hear what Im sayin
We had a chance to stay together
Ooh forever
But we got lost in the dream
Keep on missing each other
Our worlds out of order
All I see is missed opportunity
Talk but never show
Youre holding back
Words lack meaning thats all
Things you say ricochet
Miss by a mile
The words dont work for me
Ooh who understands.
Why the worlds nasty girl
When we re doin the best we can
Even tho were walking a wire
Where theres hope theres desire
Calling you back to your white knight

Lyrics by daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Standing on the sideline
Waiting for the right time
That girl knows her part
Jammin with my heart
Didnt wanna be here
But now that I see her
I know why I ran
& why Im back again
She makes me lose control
& I do believe the girl can see into my soul
It shakes me now
She says she wants my love
Thats too much
Ooh that news excites me
'cause the girls got rockability
Think shell go all the way
'cause the girls got rockability
Ooh shes really out there
So knocked out l=i dont care
That amazon thing can make a body sing
Every move is startime
Shes a legend in a long line
I want her to be everything to me
She makes me lose control
When she moves I wanna fall under her spell
It breaks me down
She knows but she wont tell
That Im the one
Ooh that news excites me
The girls got rockability
Think shell go all the way
'cause the girls got rockability
Doin wrong if I cant do her right
Yeah Im making my play
Any way I can get it
The girls got rock

Oceans emotions yeah we all feel the same
Afraid of undertow and great tidal wave
May go under many hundred of times
Keep on kickin, baby throw me a line
C.c. sick, mai de mer
Try, try, try Im holding on, holding my
Head above water
Its so hard to keep my head above water
No never envy the big fish in da pond
Its deep and dark when all the surface is gone
My kind of humor kind of keeping me dry
On the horizon, water touches the sky
C. c. sick, mal de mer
Try, try, try Im holding on, holding my
Head above water
Its so hard to keep my head above water.

Dial your number
Tape reply:
Im not at home right now, but leave your name
And I will call you friday night. call you friday good bye.
Hearing you and waiting make the days drag slowly
On the phone, oh no the tape again
Dont say not at home, no way
Friday let me down tonight
Weekend comes I try again
I hear the same recording
Hasnt changed
Im not at home right now. leave your name and I will call you.

You Make My Dream
Lyrics: Daryl Hall, John Oates, Sara Allen
Music: Daryl Hall
What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What I've got's full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, I can't explain
But You make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrape yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way that you found me
I'll never be the same
'Cause You may my dreams come true
I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know that You make my dreams come true

Since Youve Been Gone
J. spinks
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one taking your place
Since youve been gone
Ive just been foolin around
Since youve been gone
This worlds been turned upside down
Didnt think Id find a girl that I could not forget
Anything we started not so long ago - aint over yet
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
You turned me on
Since the first time I set eyes on you
You turned me on
Ooh the things you want me to do
Dont get me wrong
cos youre not the only girl Ive ever had
But since youve been gone
Girl you know the thought of yous driving me mad
All I do is think of you I lie awake - lie awake
And no matter how I try this loneliness - you know I cant take
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one to stand in my way
Since youve been gone
So scared of losing this time
Since youve been gone
Girl you know that I cant get you out of my mind
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know that I was wrong
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Tried my best to read between the lines
If some things are hard to say
You better tell me one more time
Since youve been gone
Since youve been gone

August Day
(words by sara allen
Music by daryl hall)
I saw the sun, though it didnt shine
Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time
No wind to blow the silver leaves
The drone of clever talk just stopped
The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought
Away from me
And the sky colored heavy gray
August day
Stir the dust and carve a rhyme
Barefoot blues watch and wait till suppertime
Will a smile break through
Distant thunder and the slow dance
Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance
And say that I love you
And the sky colored heavy gray
August day

Love Attack
You hit me with a body blow, you hit me fast, then you hit me slow
You knock me out with the way you look
You have me hanging, baby, on your hook
I think about you all day and all night, my friends all swear Im going insane
Now I dont care who is wrong or whos right, cos youre the cure for my pain
Chorus:
Im coming down with a love attack, I surrender, I cant turn back
Coming down with a love attack, stay with me the rest of my life
Lay a little love on me
You dont know what youve done to me
You hit me hard, but you still cant see
I need your love every single night, I dont know why it feels so right
I got the fever, I sure got it bad, you touch me and my heart catches fire
I cant find it, youre driving me mad, you send my temperature higher
(chorus) - and make a little love
(solo)
Every thought seems to lead to you, I cant decide what Im gonna do
Theres only one thing that can put this right
Im gonna tell you how I feel tonight
I got the fever, I sure got it bad, you touch me and my heart catches fire
I cant find it, its driving me mad, you send my temperature higher
(chorus)
Im coming down with a love attack, coming down
Im coming down, theres no turning back, coming down
(chorus to fade)
