Gordon Lightfoot sang a song about a boat that sank in the lake at the break of the morning
A Cat named Stevens found a faith he could believe in
And Joan Baez, I never listened to too much jazz
But hippie songs could be heard in our pad
Eddie Rabbitt sang about how much he loved a rainy night
Abba, Devo, Benatar were there day John Lennon died
Mr. Springsteen said he had a hungry heart
Grover Washington was happy on the day he topped the charts, these are the songs

These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake for goodness sake
These are the songs I keep singin’

Quiet Riot got me started with the bangin’ on my head
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Slayer taught me how to shred
I gotta admit though, sometimes I would listen to the radio
Debbie Gibson, tell me that you think we’re all alone
Michael Jackson’s in the mirror, I’ve gotta have faith if I wanna see clear
Never gonna give you up, wish me love or wishing well
It takes two to make a thing go right, If the Fresh Prince starts a fight
Don’t you worry for too long ’cause you know these are the songs

These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And I wake for goodness sake
These are the songs I keep singing

Back in 1991, I wasn’t havin’ any fun
‘Till my roommate said “come on and put a brand new record on”
Had a baby on it, he was naked on it
Then I heard the chords that broke the chains I had upon me
Got together with my bros, in some rehearsal studios
Then we played our first rock show and watched the fan base start to grow.
Signed the deal that gave the dough to make a record of our own
The song come on the radio, now people go: this is the song

These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake for goodness sake
These are the songs I keep singing

These are the songs I keep singing
These are the songs I keep singing
These are the songs I keep singing
These are the songs I keep singing

I am terrified of all things.
Frightened of the dark.
I am.
You are taller than a mountain.
Deeper than the sea.
You are.

Hold me.
Hold me.
Take me with you ’cause I’m lonely.

I was closer to you back then.
I was happier.
I was.
You are fading further from me.
Why don’t you come home to me?

Hold me.
Hold me.
Take me with you ’cause I’m lonely.

I am…
I am…
Cold.

Hold Me.

[solo]

Hold me.
Hold me.
Take me with you ’cause I’m lonely.
Hold me.
Hold me.
Take me with you ’cause I’m lonely.
Hold me.
Hold me.

All the times you came to me and told me that you cared
I was dreaming of happy days that we both could share
Maybe I got too excited, and maybe you freaked out
Maybe I just have to call you up and scream and shout

All of my friends tell me that I ought to play it cool
No one likes too much attention from a desperate fool
Still I don’t believe that I can keep it all inside
When I see your pretty face, I almost want to cry

I know it isn’t right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don’t wanna let you go

The pain is killing me
But I can’t let it be
I have to let you know
I don’t wanna let you go

I remember the days when I was stronger than a wall
Try as anybody might, they couldn’t move me at all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke rings like a moth within your flame

I have lost all hope of being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end
Even if it’s a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time

I know it isn’t right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don’t wanna let you go

The pain is killing me
But I can’t let it be
I have to let you know
I don’t wanna let you go

I know it isn’t right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don’t wanna let you go

The pain is killing me
But I can’t let it be
I have to let you know
I don’t wanna let you go

The moon was shining on the lake at night
The Slayer t-shirt fit the scene just right
Through smeared mascara, I looked into your eyes, I saw a light
You told me stories about your chickadees
They didn’t like BB guns or stupid archery
John the lifeguard, he let them use the pool all day for free

Then the conversation stopped, and I looked down at my feet
I was next to you and you were right there next to me
Then I said Girl!
If you’re wondering if I want you, (I want you to) I want you to
So make a move, (Make a move) ‘cos I ain’t got all night

The rest of the summer was the best we ever had
We watched Titanic, and it didn’t make us sad
I took you to Best Buy, you took me home to meet your Mom and Dad
Your Mom cooked meatloaf even though I don’t eat meat
I dug you so much, I took some for the team
Your dad was silent, his eyes were fixed on what was on TV

Then the conversation stopped, and I looked down at the ring
Your folks were next to you, and you were right there next to me
Then I said Girl!
If you’re wondering if I want you, (I want you to) I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it’s true (I swear it’s true) without you, my heart is blue
Girl!
If you’re wondering if I want you, (I want you to) I want you to
So make a move, (Make a move) ‘cos I ain’t got all night

So much pain may come our way
There may come a day when we have nothing left to say
When the conversation stops, and we’re facing our defeat
I’ll be next to you and you’ll be right there next to me

Then I’ll say girl!
If you’re wondering if I want you, (I want you to) I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it’s true (I swear it’s true) without you, my heart is blue
Girl!
If you’re wondering if I want you (I want you to) I want you to
So make a move, (Make a move) ‘cos I ain’t got all night

I thought tonight would suck like every other night
I’d party with my friends
But when I saw you grooving on the dance floor
Normal came to an end

We started talking and man, it was so clear to me
There’s no one else like you
You got the brains, the body, and the beauty
To top it off, you’re cool

This ain’t impossible
This ain’t improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I’m your daddy

This ain’t believable
This ain’t predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I’m your daddy

I hope that I ain’t freaking you out
You probably hear it all the time
I swear I ain’t like those other boys
I’m a special kind

I would like to give a demonstration
Of what it is I do
I’ll take you out to dinner at Palermo’s
Spinach cheese fondu

This ain’t impossible
This ain’t improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I’m your daddy

This ain’t believable
This ain’t predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I’m your daddy

I will egg the goomba
If you tire
Try my best to moonwalk
On the wire

I just want to, ooh ah,
Feel your fire
Feel your fire
Feel your fire!

This ain’t impossible
This ain’t improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I’m your daddy

This ain’t believable
This ain’t predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I’m your daddy

In the mall, in the fall, we’re sneaking to the emergency hall
First we smoke then have a smoke, get change for tokens and a pretzel and Coke

Now we’re ready
In the mall, I was in the mall
Keep it steady
In the mall, I was in the mall
In the mall!

Holidays are on their way, these decorations have so much to say
Loses meaning, going west, don’t get facetious or you don’t get the best

Bells are ringing
In the mall, I was in the mall.
Now we’re singing
In the mall, I was in the mall.
I was in the mall! I was in the mall!

Take the elevator to the escalator ride it down and start again!

All together
In the mall, I was in the mall
No place better
In the mall, I was in the mall
I was in the mall, in the mall!

You were a child crawling on your knees toward it.
Making momma so proud,
but your voice is too loud

We like to watch you laughing,
you picked the insects of plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees
Wanted to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees
Wanted to be haunted

The water is warm
But it’s sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention

The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made
And not bought,
but I thought this wouldn’t hurt a log
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees
Wanted to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees
Wanted to be haunted

Can’t read my
Can’t read my
No she can’t read my poker face x2
(She’s got me like nobody) x2
p-p-p poker face
p-p poker face
(mum mum mum mah)

I won’t tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I’m bluffin with my muffin
I’m not lying I’m just stunning with my
love-glue-gunning

Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause
I’m marvelous

Can’t read my
Can’t read my
No she can’t read my poker face x2
(She’s got me like nobody) x2
p-p-p poker face
p-p poker face
(mum mum mum mah)
p-p-p-poker face,
p-p-poker face

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees
Wanted to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

I was driving this morning and sat in traffic on the way to work work
Soon as I got in, my boss is tripping and acting like a freaking jerk
Me and my girl ain’t speak in weeks and I can’t remember the reason why why why
On top of that it’s a recession, I feel like Jay-Z; this can’t be life

Tonight I’m leaving all my worries and my problems in the house
I’m going out with my homies and we gonna let it, gonna let it
All hang out, let it all hang out, it’s the last day of the weekend, boy I need to release
Let it all hang out, let it all hang out
I’m going out with my homies and we gon’ let it all hang out

Time for me to leave this place, don’t feel like its going to come come come
I got bills on top of bills and I don’t know where I’m getting my money from from
The walls feel like their closing in, I honestly don’t feel like I can make it
I’m sad and mad and I can’t take it, that’s why

Tonight I’m leaving all my worries and my problems in the house
I’m going out with my homies and we gonna let it, gonna let it
All hang out, let it all hang out, it’s the last day of the weekend, boy I need to release
Let it all hang out, let it all hang out
I’m going out with my homies and we gon’ let it all hang out

Me and JD chillin in the shack
Sharing Chiclets from the same pack
180-proof Vitamin Water
Energy flavor
Take us to your daughter
I wanna see you pretty ladies on the dance floor
Put your hands up in the air like you don’t care no more
We gonna hit the town tonight, we were born to rock

Tonight I’m leaving all my worries and my problems in the house
I’m going out with my homies and we gonna let it, gonna let it
All hang out, let it all hang out, it’s the last day of the weekend, boy I need to release
Let it all hang out, let it all hang out
I’m going out with my homies and we gon’ let it all hang out

Baby,
life’s what you make it
Can’t escape it

Baby,
yesterday’s favourite
Don’t you hate it

(Everything’s All RIght)
life’s what you make it
(Everything’s All RIght)

Baby,
life’s what you make it
Don’t backdate it

Baby,
Don’t try to shade it
Beauty is naked

(Everything’s all right)
life’s what you make it
(Everything’s all right)
Life’s What You Make It

(Instrumental)

Baby,
life’s what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday’s faded
Nothing can change it
Life’s what you make it

(Everything’s all right)
life’s what you make it
(Everything’s all right)
Life’s What You Make It
(Everything’s all right)
yeah yeah
(Everything’s all right)

There will come a day
When we transcend our pain
Until that day
Take it easy on yourself

Love is the answer
Makes no difference what you have heard
Love is the answer
You have got to trust in the word

There will come a day
When we can finally rest
Until that day
Take it easy on yourself

Love is the answer
Makes no difference what you have heard
Love is the answer
You have got to trust in the word

Brothers and sisters
I know you try so hard sometimes
You’re gonna find your happiness inside

Love is the answer
Makes no difference what you have heard
Love is the answer
You have got to trust in the word
