I only know you by reputation
It's time I found out face to face
'cause if your sugar, I'll fight temptation
But if you're poison, I need a taste
[1st Chorus]
Girl, I heard you're Trouble with a capital "T"
One look in your eye spells trouble to me
We're talkin' danger, just too blind to see
You're Trouble just waitin' to happen to me!...Trouble...I'm talkin' Trouble!
I'm not the first, no, I've got to face it
But I ain't the last to take the bait
A silver spoon hangs on your bracelet
T-R-B-L on your license plate
[2nd Chorus]
Girl, I heard you're Trouble with a capital "T"
I'm new here in town, come on and spell it out for me
We're talkin bad news, I been too blind to see
You're Trouble just waitin' to happen to me!.......Trouble.....
...you're gettin closer, baby
....I see Trouble..
....Trouble's comin over me....
...Yeah, with a capital "T"
T-R-O-U-B-L-E...it's Trouble!
I only know you by reputation
It's time I found out, baby, face to face
'cause if your sugar, I'll fight temptation
But if you're poison, I need a little taste
Tell me, baby, how bad is bad
How mad is mad
Girl, are you all that they say
Yeah, just one touch, is a touch too much
Just one hit goes straight to my head
[3rd Chorus]
Girl, I heard you're Trouble with a capital "T"
One look in your eye spells trouble to me
We're talkin' bad news, I been too blind to see
You're Trouble just waitin' to happen to me!...
We're talkin Trouble...
Bad news....(...yes I'm a victim)
Oh, you're Trouble just happens to me...(here she comes!)
Shatter The Silence lyrics - 38 Special
You better run, here comes your mama
Her eyes see red this time
You should be workin' boy, instead of daydreamin'
She says that you're a bad one
got the wrong things on your mind
So you turn up the music loud to block out her screamin'
.....No words of love are ever spoken
....and he's gonna leave this place ...once the door is open
[1st Chorus]
He'll Shatter the Silence with every beat of his heart
The best kept secrets never stay in the dark
Defiance only makes him strong
The child grows up, he ain't silent for long.......not for long
Your daddy tried to buy your silence
His eyes seemed to hold a threat
He'd blame all your bruises on rough games in the schoolyard
The strike of his hand upon you
was all the attention that you could get
Soon you would push your luck just to get all you needed
.......'Til now all the shame remained unspoken
.....But watch how the children rise....once their eyes are opened
[2nd Chorus]
They'll Shatter the Silence, now it's their turn to tell
It's a long way from Heaven when you're livin' in Hell
Defiance...It's time to even the score
The child grows up, he ain't silent no more
The Silence....Now it's time to be heard
It's hard stayin' quiet when you can't breathe a word
Silence...It's a two-edge sword
The child grows, he ain't silent no more.....
He ain't silent no more!....no no..
They'll Shatter the the Silence...
Shatter the Silence....(silent no more)
They'll Shatter the Silence......
Her eyes see red this time
You should be workin' boy, instead of daydreamin'
She says that you're a bad one
got the wrong things on your mind
So you turn up the music loud to block out her screamin'
.....No words of love are ever spoken
....and he's gonna leave this place ...once the door is open
[1st Chorus]
He'll Shatter the Silence with every beat of his heart
The best kept secrets never stay in the dark
Defiance only makes him strong
The child grows up, he ain't silent for long.......not for long
Your daddy tried to buy your silence
His eyes seemed to hold a threat
He'd blame all your bruises on rough games in the schoolyard
The strike of his hand upon you
was all the attention that you could get
Soon you would push your luck just to get all you needed
.......'Til now all the shame remained unspoken
.....But watch how the children rise....once their eyes are opened
[2nd Chorus]
They'll Shatter the Silence, now it's their turn to tell
It's a long way from Heaven when you're livin' in Hell
Defiance...It's time to even the score
The child grows up, he ain't silent no more
The Silence....Now it's time to be heard
It's hard stayin' quiet when you can't breathe a word
Silence...It's a two-edge sword
The child grows, he ain't silent no more.....
He ain't silent no more!....no no..
They'll Shatter the the Silence...
Shatter the Silence....(silent no more)
They'll Shatter the Silence......

Knock down the doors and break thru the walls
Tear out the phone run from it all

Signs Of Love lyrics - 38 Special
You walked into the room last night
Like a song on the wind
And I sensed a new beginning
The way the light had caught your hair
I couldn't help but stare
And I could tell what you were thinking
Maybe I'm high but I don't get high anymore
Not 'til you come through the door
The the room starts spinning and my hands begin to sweat
The words I've been rehearsing are so easy to forget
Falling like a stone flying like a jet
And I'm losin' control losin' control.
[Chorus:]
It's the signs of love
It's the signs of love
It's the signs of love
And I got it bad
I been hangin' out on your street
Just hoping for the chance to meet ya
As if I'd know waht to say if I did
But luck you come on by
I see that look in your eye
And I can tell what you're thinkin'
Maybe I'm high
But I don't get high anymore
Not 'til you come through the door
[Chorus:]
Send me a message tell me what to do
You can be honest but please don't be cruel babe
Send me a message tell me what to say

Last Thing I Ever Do lyrics - 38 Special
Well I crawled outta bed
With a ringin' still in my ear
Lord I feel lucky just to be alive
You see I guess I forgot to duck
Little Susie had a little too much
And I guess I still ain't had enough
Even if it kills me
I'll leave that girl behind me
Well here's lookin' at ya baby
'Til my dyin' day
[Chorus]
If it's the last thing I ever do
Gonna make you want me
Like I want you
If it's the last thing I ever do
Ain't no denying
What you know is true yeah yeah
I had to come back tonight
Was it love at first sight
Or am I just out of my mind again
Don't ask me to throw in the towel
'Cause I'm tellin' the truth girl now
You're the only girl that ever knocked me dead
Even if it kills me
You got me where you want me
Well here's lookin' at you baby
Until my dyin' day
[Chorus]
I feel it pumpin'
My blood is runnin'
Makin' a line straight to you
Baby no doubt about it
See I can't live without it
While I'm at it
Is there something I can do for you
[Chorus]
If it's the last thing
If it's the last thing
If it's the last thing I do
I feel it pumpin'
My blood is runnin'
Makin' a line straight to you
No doubt about it can't live without it
Come on boys y'all show 'em what to do
If it's the last thing

You Definitely Got Me lyrics - 38 Special
Ring ring goes the telephone bell
Sorry but I'm not at home
The cute voice the sexy sell
Leave a message Leave a message
I clutch I say too much
I trip on my tongue I mumble and such
Please baby
Would it hurt to stay in touch
Ain't gonna play I'm gonna lose it either way yea yea
Ain't gonna play no way my friend you win
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Got up and headed downtown
Lookin' for some superficial action
Didn't really wanna mess around
Just felt kinda lonely
I walked through the door of our usual haunt
Liked to pop my eyes
There you were on the dance floor
Shimmying with some other guy
Ain't gonna play
I'm gonna lose it either way yea yea
Ain't gonna play no way my friend you win
[Chorus]
Now you got me where you want me

Now you got me where you want me

Knocked down like a boxer in trouble
No denying it ain't gonna try and hide the truth
You definitely got me
Now you got me where you want me
Now you definitely got me
Sorry but I'm not at home
The cute voice the sexy sell

Rebel To Rebel lyrics - 38 Special
When the night winds down and my thoughts run deep
And the Lord hangs a black cat moon
As I lie awake I swear I heard a song in the wind
In the southern breeze I can hear the strummin'
of a six string just outta tune
And a whisky soaked voice
Singing 'bout places he's been
Cuttin' through the night
Like a siren's song
He's tellin' me tonight
Gotta spread the news along
[Chorus:]
Rebel to rebel
To anyone who's ever tried
Rebel to rebel
To take on the other side
Callin' out his name as night is falling
A brother's voice is calling
Sending messages through the past
To rebels like me and you
I can see his face as I watch the stars
From a tour bus heading from town
With a wink and a smile
He'd tell me things words couldn't say
To be a street survivor
Boy you gotta stand tall
Keep that dream in your heart
I'll be there in the fight
Nothing gonna stand in our way
Well I'm taking his advice
As I sing this song
Let fortune roll the dice
And don't you ever forget where you 're from
[Chorus]
Rebel to rebel
Now I see him walk away
Rebel to rebel
Here it come
Now I hear his voice again
Rebel to rebel
To anyone who's ever tried
Rebel to rebel
To take on the other side
Callin' out his name as night is falling
A brothers voice is calling
Rebel to rebel oooh rebels like me
Rebel to rebel, rebel to rebel, rebel to rebel
And the Lord hangs a black cat moon
As I lie awake I swear I heard a song in the wind
In the southern breeze I can hear the strummin'
of a six string just outta tune
And a whisky soaked voice
Singing 'bout places he's been
Cuttin' through the night
Like a siren's song
He's tellin' me tonight
Gotta spread the news along
[Chorus:]
Rebel to rebel
To anyone who's ever tried
Rebel to rebel
To take on the other side
Callin' out his name as night is falling
A brother's voice is calling
Sending messages through the past
To rebels like me and you
I can see his face as I watch the stars
From a tour bus heading from town
With a wink and a smile
He'd tell me things words couldn't say
To be a street survivor
Boy you gotta stand tall
Keep that dream in your heart

Nothing gonna stand in our way
Well I'm taking his advice

And don't you ever forget where you 're from
[Chorus]

Rebel to rebel

Now I hear his voice again
Rebel to rebel
To anyone who's ever tried
Rebel to rebel
To take on the other side
Callin' out his name as night is falling
A brothers voice is calling
Rebel to rebel oooh rebels like me
Rebel to rebel, rebel to rebel, rebel to rebel
Bone Against Steel lyrics - 38 Special
Rollin' out to Vegas
On an eastbound outta L.A.
I met a roughneck man who hailed from Alabama
His eyes had a lot to say
And his name was Rufus Champion
They call that train the desert wind
And it blew like a mutha that day
Thru the Joshua Trees
We were battin' the breeze
About our rock'n roll heros
Dead or alive
[Chorus]
Out across that night did we sail
Bone against steel against the rail
Boats against the stream
Cutting against the grain
Kept on rollin'
Bone against steel
As the moon rose in the window
Rufus began his tale
About an oil rig near the gulf coast
Puttin' man against metal
In a classic work-place accident
He told how the drill commenced to shakin'
The platform started to rock
The chain began breaking
They were straight out of luck
And then the sky kinda lite up
Just like a lightnin' bolt had struck
[Chorus]
Workmen's compensation don't compensate for much
With the doctors and lawyers and the IRS and such
You can break up the bone
But the spirit just won't bust
When is bone against steel
With casino lights up a shimmering
We made that Vegas stop
And we laughed away our blues
Now here's the good news
Rufus walks off heels a kickin'
With his baby right by his side
And as they waltzed on out of view
We were back up to speed
And clean outta sight
[Double chorus]
On an eastbound outta L.A.
I met a roughneck man who hailed from Alabama
His eyes had a lot to say
And his name was Rufus Champion
They call that train the desert wind
And it blew like a mutha that day
Thru the Joshua Trees
We were battin' the breeze
About our rock'n roll heros
Dead or alive
[Chorus]
Out across that night did we sail
Bone against steel against the rail
Boats against the stream
Cutting against the grain
Kept on rollin'
Bone against steel
As the moon rose in the window
Rufus began his tale
About an oil rig near the gulf coast
Puttin' man against metal
In a classic work-place accident
He told how the drill commenced to shakin'
The platform started to rock
The chain began breaking
They were straight out of luck
And then the sky kinda lite up
Just like a lightnin' bolt had struck

But the spirit just won't bust

With casino lights up a shimmering
We made that Vegas stop
And we laughed away our blues
Now here's the good news
Rufus walks off heels a kickin'
With his baby right by his side
And as they waltzed on out of view
We were back up to speed
And clean outta sight

You Be The Dam, I'll Be The Water lyrics - 38 Special
Seems as long as I've been knowing you
Something has bound us kept us as two
You for me and me for you tried and true
But what we need now is anchor and chain
I get the feelin' we're drifting away
Clouds collecting on horizon again
Oh o oh it looks like rain baby
[Chorus]
You be the dam , I'll be the water
Hold back the tide
Just a little bit longer
We gotta make a stand
Gotta get stronger
Pullin' at you
Tuggin' at me baby
You be the dam, I'll be the water
Woke up floatin' like a dove on the gulf stream
Makin' love in the afternoon can ease any pain
We find the deepest part of our hearts
What good are we right now if we don't even try
Wrap it up pack it in say our sweet goodbye
Whatcha gonna do pretty baby when the well runs dry
Woh o oh we'll pray for rain baby
[Chorus]
One heart beat at a time
After stormy weather
The sun's gonna shine
Gonna keep our lovin' alive
We can survive baby
[Chorus]
You be the dam, I'll be the water
You be the dam, I'll be the water
Something has bound us kept us as two
You for me and me for you tried and true
But what we need now is anchor and chain
I get the feelin' we're drifting away
Clouds collecting on horizon again
Oh o oh it looks like rain baby
[Chorus]
You be the dam , I'll be the water
Hold back the tide

Jimmy Gillum lyrics - 38 Special
I was raised up on the west side of town
That's where I met Jimmy Gillum
Baddest man around
He'd rather fight than eat
Mister That's no lie
If you cross him up smile and wave goodbye
Bad bad Jimmy baddest man alive
He was dynamite in a small pack
His fuse was short
He didn't cut no slack
Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat
[Chorus]
Talk about trouble
You talk about mean
Jimmy was the baddest cat I've ever seen
You talk about trouble
Should've been his name
Jimmy never pulled a punch
He was a fightin' machine
Yeah he was he was a fightin' machine
Now I recall one night at the Sugar Bowl
That's a honky tonk where Jimmy goes
Yeah the One Percent were burnin' up the stage
In walk Jimmy in a drunken daze
Ready to fight son in the worst way
So I ran for cover behind the stage
Bottles started flyin' I began to pray
Please oh Lord don't let him look my way
[Chorus]
It's been years since I saw Jimmy last
When I pulled into a jiffy the other day
Just to get some gas
I heard this guy screamin' next to me
Turn on this pump you dirty s.o.b.
To my surprise it was Jimmy alive and well
Jumped in my car and took off fast
Knew in a minute he'd be kickin' ass
Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat
[Chorus]
Yea he was talk about trouble, talk about trouble
Yeaaaaoooowwww talk about trouble
Yea that boy was bad to the bone talk about trouble
Play it boys sound good
Us Gillums never die we just fade away
Ummmmm trouble boy
That's where I met Jimmy Gillum
Baddest man around
He'd rather fight than eat
Mister That's no lie
If you cross him up smile and wave goodbye
Bad bad Jimmy baddest man alive
He was dynamite in a small pack
His fuse was short
He didn't cut no slack
Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat
[Chorus]
Talk about trouble
You talk about mean
Jimmy was the baddest cat I've ever seen
You talk about trouble
Should've been his name
Jimmy never pulled a punch
He was a fightin' machine

Tear It Up lyrics - 38 Special
I got a black top road out in front of me
And I might just tear it up
I gotta rock'n'roll jones pumpin' in deep
Just might tear it up
Gimme a bar room floor a back beat band
Play the kinda music I can understand
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand just might tear it up.
Tear it up hey I just might tear it up
Tear it up Tear it up
Ya know I just might tear it up
I got a ticket from a cop on the way over here
Just might tear it up
I got the repossession notice for my car right here
Just might tear it up
Oh one of these nights I ain't lyin'
If the moon is right and I feel like flyin'
Sweet sixteen take me down the line just might tear it up

We got the chaperones hip hoppin' tear it up
We got sweet sixteen

Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up
Don't Wanna Get It Dirty lyrics - 38 Special
She won't let me be
I know her story
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
The girl ain't used to doin' without oh no
She never lets her hair down
She's the sweetest thing to ever wear high heels
And drives the finest set of wheels but she
[Chorus]
Don't wanna get it dirty
Won't take me for a ride
Don't wanna get it dirty
Don't wanna lose that shine
She likes to drive real fast
I like to make it last a long time
Never seen a girl who could talk so much
So educated but so outta touch oh yeah
She never lets her top down
She's the sweetest thing to ever wear high heels
And drives the finest set of wheels but she
[Chorus]
Don't wanna get dirty
I'm out to change her mind
Let me behind the wheel baby I can drive it
Just watch
Candy apple red so brand new
Just wanna see what it can really do
She says don't wanna don't wanna
[Chorus]
Good girls are hard to find
Don't wanna get it dirty

Burning Bridges lyrics - 38 Special
You haven't changed much
From the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge
That burned between you and I
I've avoided nostalgia ignored the sentimental
Tried to cut myself off from much of the past
All that macho and all that bravado
Makes me wanna laugh makes me wanna laugh
We do what it takes to keep on pushin'
We do what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make you wonder
[Chorus I]
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire
Of burning bridges burning bridges
I've made some adjustments
Worked out some problems
Nearly drove myself crazy with things I can't change
But all that's history little darlin'
And it's good to see you smile
Just good to see you smile again
You got what it takes to keep on pushin'
You got what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make me wonder
[Chorus II]
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire
Of burning bridges
Why'd we wanna cry such a river
Why'd we wanna swim that distant shores
There ain't nothing to see in the light
Of burning bridges
I'm thinkin' that we could start over
But rebuilding bridges takes time
Time to heal time to forgive
Let live and forget
You haven't changed much from the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge so much water
[Chorus II]
Burning bridges burning bridges burning bridges
From the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge
That burned between you and I
I've avoided nostalgia ignored the sentimental
Tried to cut myself off from much of the past
All that macho and all that bravado
Makes me wanna laugh makes me wanna laugh
We do what it takes to keep on pushin'
We do what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make you wonder
[Chorus I]
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire
Of burning bridges burning bridges
I've made some adjustments
Worked out some problems
Nearly drove myself crazy with things I can't change
But all that's history little darlin'
And it's good to see you smile
Just good to see you smile again
You got what it takes to keep on pushin'
You got what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make me wonder
[Chorus II]
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire

Why'd we wanna swim that distant shores
There ain't nothing to see in the light
Of burning bridges
I'm thinkin' that we could start over
But rebuilding bridges takes time
Time to heal time to forgive
Let live and forget
You haven't changed much from the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge so much water
[Chorus II]
Burning bridges burning bridges burning bridges
Can't Shake It lyrics - 38 Special
Here it come here it come
She'll make the hair rise on every inch of your skin
With a blink of an eye she's out to do me in
She loves to play it rough got me in the ropes
She's wearing my name in a blue tatoo
I couldn't run if I wanted to
I can't shake it I can't shake it
She's a high maintenance unit
Never lets me down
Got diamonds on her stockings
No she wears me out
Doctor says it's the worst case
He's ever seen is that right sir
Well ya know I ain't blind baby

She starts me up and turns me inside out
She's too hot a fire to ever put out can't shake it
I can't shake it oooh no
Ummm bad she's wearing my name in a blue tatoo
Yea you look so good baby in those seven inch heels
Across my back
She's so tough the way she turns me round
Tears me up never lets me down

Treasure lyrics - 38 Special
As children we're drawn to gold
And wonders of stories told
How riches are earned
Lessons are learned
And all ends well
And life is that simple game
When loves finally comes our way
And if we're naive
We can't help believe
We'll conquer it all
We've found the strongest love
And hope is in our eyes
Let's not take it for granted
All that we're feelin' tonight
[Chorus I]
When bands of gold and diamonds
Finally lose their shine
And all the stars and glitter fade away
There's no way to measure
The chance it could last forever
But it's ours right now to treasure
On the way
Tonight all the streets are lined
In moonlight and silver twine
If we make a wish
There's no telling if
It's gonna survive
'Cause even the strongest love
Needs a little help along the way
Let's not take it for granted
By letting it all slip away
[Chorus II]
When bands of gold and diamonds
Finally lose their shine
And all the stars and glitter fade away
There's no way to measure
The chance it could last forever
But it's ours right now to treasure
And I do treasure you
Yes I do
[Chorus I]
When bands of gold and diamonds
Finally lose their shine
Gonna lose that shine
And wonders of stories told
How riches are earned
Lessons are learned
And all ends well
And life is that simple game
When loves finally comes our way
And if we're naive
We can't help believe
We'll conquer it all
We've found the strongest love
And hope is in our eyes
Let's not take it for granted
All that we're feelin' tonight
[Chorus I]
When bands of gold and diamonds
Finally lose their shine
And all the stars and glitter fade away
There's no way to measure
The chance it could last forever
But it's ours right now to treasure
On the way
Tonight all the streets are lined
In moonlight and silver twine
If we make a wish
There's no telling if
It's gonna survive
'Cause even the strongest love
Needs a little help along the way
Let's not take it for granted
By letting it all slip away
[Chorus II]
When bands of gold and diamonds
Finally lose their shine
And all the stars and glitter fade away
There's no way to measure
The chance it could last forever
But it's ours right now to treasure
And I do treasure you
Yes I do
[Chorus I]
When bands of gold and diamonds
Finally lose their shine
Gonna lose that shine
Rock And Roll Strategy lyrics - 38 Special
Men like me 'cause I speak my mind
And women like me 'cause I take my time
Try not to take life too serious
I might get burned
If you've got somethin' to show me
I'm willing to learn
Got enough trouble just making it day to day
And when the world starts spinnin'
'N I feel like I'm going insane
[Chorus]
I got a system that's guaranteed
I got a rock 'n roll strategy
It ain't no science but it works for me
It's just a rock 'n roll strategy
Get in my car
Head downtown
Turn up the radio roll the windows down
It ain't no science but it gets me around
It's just rock 'n roll strategy
Turn it up
If you walk down the middle people criticize you for
Sitting on a fence
And if you walk on the right
Or you walk on the left
They say you're much too radical to make any sense
Can't win for losin'
Might as well be yourself
And when it gets so confusin'
You fell like checkin' out
[Chorus]
Can't win for losin'
Might as well be yourself
And when it gets so confusin'
You feel like checkin' out
I got a system that's guaranteed
I got a rock 'n roll strategy
It ain't no science but it works for me
It's just a rock 'n roll strategy
Get in my car
Head downtown
Turn up the radio roll the windows down
It ain't no science but it gets me around
It's just rock 'n roll strategy
I got a system that's bonafide
Works for me everytime I try
It ain't no science but it gets me by
It's just a rock 'n roll strategy
Turn it up
And women like me 'cause I take my time
Try not to take life too serious
I might get burned
If you've got somethin' to show me
I'm willing to learn
Got enough trouble just making it day to day
And when the world starts spinnin'
'N I feel like I'm going insane
[Chorus]
I got a system that's guaranteed
I got a rock 'n roll strategy
It ain't no science but it works for me

What's It To Ya? lyrics - 38 Special
Billy's got a fast car
You know he works it so hard, cause he
Knows it's gonna take him real far tonight
Betty wears her short dress
Loves to be the actress
Lord, it could get reckless tonight
But then a cop pulls I'm over to interrogate
He flashes his lights and gets it in their face
And says: "Where do you think you're goin?"
What's it to ya
We were only takin' in the sights
What's it to ya
Can a couple of kids have fun tonight?
Johnny plays it so loud
Hangs out with the wrong crowd
Well he plans to make his guitar his life
Judy's acting so sweet
But like little Miss Molly
Ya know she loves to dance and shake it all night.
But when he brings her home she's four hours late
Her parents scream it's your last mistake
What have you been doin?
You know he works it so hard, cause he
Knows it's gonna take him real far tonight
Betty wears her short dress
Loves to be the actress
Lord, it could get reckless tonight
But then a cop pulls I'm over to interrogate
He flashes his lights and gets it in their face
And says: "Where do you think you're goin?"
What's it to ya
We were only takin' in the sights
What's it to ya
Can a couple of kids have fun tonight?
Johnny plays it so loud
Hangs out with the wrong crowd
Well he plans to make his guitar his life
Judy's acting so sweet
But like little Miss Molly
Ya know she loves to dance and shake it all night.
But when he brings her home she's four hours late
Her parents scream it's your last mistake
What have you been doin?
Little Sheba lyrics - 38 Special
I took a business trip down to Florida
I got a room at a Holiday Inn
There was an earthquake in California
Must be the reason why this place was shakin'
Down in the barroom it was loaded with servicemen
Elbow to elbow
I said, "'Scuze me blood, just what is shakin'?"
He say, "Girls on the dance floor wrestling in yellow"
And the joint was jammin' from the pumpin' by the D.J.
There were rappin' and clappin' When up steps Little Sheba
Little Sheba she's as tough as you find
She's the local color burnin' like a Florida Pine
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
Little Sheba she's the favorite one
Everybody's got money on her 9 to 1
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
Into the ring steps her worthy oponent
A nasty little vixen with a New York vibe
Before Little Sheba could say': "Welcome to Dixy"
She'd kicked all her buttons and punched out her headlights
And the crowd was reelin'. They were chomping and chanting
They can't believe what they're seein'
Didn't look good for Little Sheba
Little Sheba she's as tough as you find
She's the local color burnin' like a Florida Pine
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
Little Sheba she's the favorite one
Everybody's got money on her 9 to 1
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
Now to make a long story just a little bit longer
Little Sheba was humbled on that humid night
She returned to from emergency with a fistful of fractures
Our fabled femme fatale spoilin' for another fight
Little Sheba she's as tough as you find
She's the local color burnin' like a Florida Pine
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
Little Sheba she's the favorite one
Everybody's got money on her 9 to 1
They raise the girls on gator down here Doncha know
I got a room at a Holiday Inn
There was an earthquake in California
Must be the reason why this place was shakin'
Down in the barroom it was loaded with servicemen
Elbow to elbow
I said, "'Scuze me blood, just what is shakin'?"

Comin' Down Tonight lyrics - 38 Special
Girl don't you run and hide
It's not me you're runnin' from
You've built your walls so high
Can't see which side you're on
Just give your heart some rope
Let love take over, let me show ya
We're gettin' nowhere baby
It's time to just let go
[CHORUS]
I'll be knockin' down your wall
It's comin' down tonight
I ain't turnin' back no more no
Stay with me baby
There's nothin' girl
We can't work out in time
Well get ready
It's coming down tonight, get ready
It's coming down tonight
There ain't no fortress
Gonna keep you safe tonight
You put on that red dress
And come down here lookin' so fine
We all need a hand to hold
In celebration time is wastin'
We're gettin' nowhere baby
It's time to just let go
[CHORUS]
There's nothin' girl
We can't work out in time
You better believe it
It's not me you're runnin' from
You've built your walls so high
Can't see which side you're on
Just give your heart some rope
Let love take over, let me show ya
We're gettin' nowhere baby

Make Some Sense Of It lyrics - 38 Special
Love runs in circles, it's a game of hearts
It's a long shot gamble few can win
After the third time you've been torn apart
You swear you won't be fooled again
But loves a joy that can't be rushed
It lifts you up when it's all too much
We can join the numbers, we can call it quits
Or tough it out
Make some sense of it.
Remember how it was when we began
Young lovers taking on the world
If there's a place for us to start again
I believe its time to take the turn.
But loves a joy that can't be rushed
It lifts you up when it's all too much
We can talk it over, we can call it quits
Let's you and me
Make some sense of it.
With every moment passing by
Were just wastin time
When we're not together
This is the first day of our life
When we're here today, we're livin without
It's time to make it right
Loves a joy that can't be rushed
It lifts you up when the pains too much
We can talk it over, we can call it quits
Or tough it out, make some sense of it
We can make some sense of it
We can talk it over
Or we can call it quits
We can make some sense of it
It's a long shot gamble few can win
After the third time you've been torn apart
You swear you won't be fooled again
But loves a joy that can't be rushed
It lifts you up when it's all too much
We can join the numbers, we can call it quits
Or tough it out
Make some sense of it.
Remember how it was when we began
Young lovers taking on the world
If there's a place for us to start again
I believe its time to take the turn.
But loves a joy that can't be rushed
It lifts you up when it's all too much
We can talk it over, we can call it quits
Let's you and me
Make some sense of it.
With every moment passing by
Were just wastin time

When we're here today, we're livin without

It lifts you up when the pains too much
We can talk it over, we can call it quits
Or tough it out, make some sense of it
We can make some sense of it
We can talk it over
Or we can call it quits
We can make some sense of it
Midnight Magic lyrics - 38 Special
Out of the setting sun
You can see the red sky rising
Could she be the one
Cutting through the blue still water
I hear our voices dancing on the wind
All the words that we said would never end
As I hold you in my arms
There suddenly appears the brightest star
Well come here closer baby
[Chorus:]
Didn't I tell you
Midnight Magic
Would come someday, we'd sail away
If for the moment
We let our dreams take over
Midnight Magic
Is waiting for us
We can sail forever in our hearts
Heaven's not too far away
Remember Monterey
We'd sit and count the waves for hours
The ships would pass our way
In our hearts we could feel the power
I could see forever in your eyes
If you'd only let me stay tonight
Can't you see we could have it all
Can't you hear the north wind call
Well come here closer baby
[Chorus]
As I hold you in my arms
There suddenly appears the brightest star
Well come here closer baby
[Chorus]
Didn't I tell you, Didn't I tell you
Oh, baby
Didn't I tell you didn't I tell you
Oh. baby, heaven's not to far away
You can see the red sky rising
Could she be the one
Cutting through the blue still water
I hear our voices dancing on the wind
All the words that we said would never end
As I hold you in my arms
There suddenly appears the brightest star
Well come here closer baby
[Chorus:]
Didn't I tell you
Midnight Magic
Would come someday, we'd sail away
If for the moment
We let our dreams take over
Midnight Magic
Is waiting for us
We can sail forever in our hearts
Heaven's not too far away
Remember Monterey
We'd sit and count the waves for hours
The ships would pass our way
In our hearts we could feel the power
I could see forever in your eyes
If you'd only let me stay tonight
Can't you see we could have it all
Can't you hear the north wind call
Well come here closer baby
[Chorus]
As I hold you in my arms
There suddenly appears the brightest star
Well come here closer baby
[Chorus]
Didn't I tell you, Didn't I tell you
Oh, baby
Didn't I tell you didn't I tell you
Oh. baby, heaven's not to far away
Second Chance lyrics - 38 Special
Since you been gone
I feel my life slipping away
I look to the sky
And everything is turnin' grey
All I made was one mistake
How much more will I have to pay
Why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past
When love makes this sound baby
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down babe
Can't you see I love you
Since you've been gone I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
So this is love
Standing in the pouring rain
I fooled on you
But she never meant a thing
And I know I ain't got no right
To ask you to sympathize
But why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past
When love makes this sound baby
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down baby
Can't you see I love you
Since you been gone I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
I never loved her
I never needed her
She was willing and that's all there is to say
Don't forsake me
Please don't leave me now
A heart needs a second chance
Yeahhhhhh you've been gone and I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
Please forgive me and forget it
I was wrong and I admit it
Why can't we talk it over
Why can't we forget about, forget about the past
(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes this sound baby
(A heart needs a second chance)
Don't put me down babe
You've been gone I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes this sound babe
(A heart needs a second chance)
(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes this sound baby
(A heart needs a second chance)
I feel my life slipping away
I look to the sky
And everything is turnin' grey
All I made was one mistake
How much more will I have to pay
Why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past
When love makes this sound baby
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down babe
Can't you see I love you
Since you've been gone I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
So this is love
Standing in the pouring rain
I fooled on you
But she never meant a thing
And I know I ain't got no right
To ask you to sympathize
But why can't you think it over
Why can't you forget about the past
When love makes this sound baby
A heart needs a second chance
Don't put me down baby
Can't you see I love you
Since you been gone I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
I never loved her
I never needed her
She was willing and that's all there is to say
Don't forsake me
Please don't leave me now
A heart needs a second chance
Yeahhhhhh you've been gone and I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
Please forgive me and forget it
I was wrong and I admit it
Why can't we talk it over
Why can't we forget about, forget about the past
(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes this sound baby
(A heart needs a second chance)
Don't put me down babe
You've been gone I've been in a trance
This heart needs a second chance
Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye
(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes this sound babe
(A heart needs a second chance)
(A heart needs a second chance)
When love makes this sound baby
(A heart needs a second chance)
Hot Lanta lyrics - 38 Special
I been desert hot down in Phoenix
I been smoggy hot out in L.A.
I been high & dry hot in Colorado
I been charred out on the Midwest Plains
I been madhatter flattened by the heat in Manhattan
I been muggy on the Mighty Miss
I been burned like a stick on Route 66
But I ain't never been this
[Chorus:]
Hot'lanta, how come you do me this way
When you're 99 in the noonday sun
And a hundred and one in the shade
Hot'lanta, I think I prefer your nights
With your cosmopolitan cafe women
How they do go on and on
Down in Hot'lanta
In a fuselage in a crowded sky
I was trying very hard not to think
But in a paranoid vision of the worst that could happen
I asked my stewardess "Just one more drink"
The cabin temperature had me in a blur
I was shaking by the time we touched down
We hit that tarmac
Hell bent for Mary Mac's
Back in your sizzlin' town
[Chorus]
I been smoggy hot out in L.A.
I been high & dry hot in Colorado
I been charred out on the Midwest Plains
I been madhatter flattened by the heat in Manhattan
I been muggy on the Mighty Miss
I been burned like a stick on Route 66
But I ain't never been this
[Chorus:]
Hot'lanta, how come you do me this way
When you're 99 in the noonday sun
And a hundred and one in the shade
Hot'lanta, I think I prefer your nights
With your cosmopolitan cafe women
How they do go on and on
Down in Hot'lanta
In a fuselage in a crowded sky
I was trying very hard not to think
But in a paranoid vision of the worst that could happen
I asked my stewardess "Just one more drink"
The cabin temperature had me in a blur
I was shaking by the time we touched down
We hit that tarmac
Hell bent for Mary Mac's
Back in your sizzlin' town
[Chorus]
Never Be Lonely lyrics - 38 Special
Says she wants to dance real slow
Real slow
It's gettin' late and it's time to go
But I don't wanna know
Feels strange to be holding on to someone new
After so long
Don't tell me what I need to hear
Tell me what I wanna hear
And baby make me believe it
[Chorus:]
Say I'll never be lonely again
I don't need a lover tonight just a friend
I know I'm lost but maybe you found me
Tell me lies and put your arms around me
Say I'll never be lonely again
Help me to pretend
Whisper to me it'll be alright
And it'll be alright
I guess it's you & me against the night
And it's a long brutal night
& if I'm dragging you into my life
That's the price of the ticket
It's good to have you along for the ride
Now speak those words
I don't care if you don't mean it
[Chorus]
In a world of hurt
You need someone you can bleed on
A true friend
But nothing's ever for sure
Sometimes a friend can be
Long gone
Says she wants to dance real slow
Real slow
It's gettin' late and it's time to go
But just lie once more
Baby make me believe it
You know I'm lost but maybe you found me
Tell me lies and put your arms around me
Say I'll never be lonely again
Help me to pretend
Real slow
It's gettin' late and it's time to go
But I don't wanna know
Feels strange to be holding on to someone new
After so long
Don't tell me what I need to hear
Tell me what I wanna hear
And baby make me believe it
[Chorus:]
Say I'll never be lonely again
I don't need a lover tonight just a friend
I know I'm lost but maybe you found me
Tell me lies and put your arms around me
Say I'll never be lonely again
Help me to pretend
Whisper to me it'll be alright
And it'll be alright
I guess it's you & me against the night
And it's a long brutal night
& if I'm dragging you into my life
That's the price of the ticket
It's good to have you along for the ride
Now speak those words
I don't care if you don't mean it
[Chorus]
In a world of hurt
You need someone you can bleed on
A true friend
But nothing's ever for sure
Sometimes a friend can be
Long gone
Says she wants to dance real slow
Real slow
It's gettin' late and it's time to go
But just lie once more
Baby make me believe it
You know I'm lost but maybe you found me
Tell me lies and put your arms around me
Say I'll never be lonely again
Help me to pretend
Chattahoochee lyrics - 38 Special
I got a room where I can breathe
I got a view no one else can see
Everybody here knows just what's right for me
Don't have to worry, the Doctor's always in
I'm never lonely, I'm here with all my friends
[Chorus:]
In Chattahoochee, I'm not crazy
Chattahoochee, I'm just lazy
Chattahoochee, Found my home
In Chattahoochee.
Out on the outside they sweat to pay the rent
While we play cards, they say we ain't got no sense
They think they have a good time
Blowin' somethin' up their nose
Their corporate ladder can kill you it's so high
While it's a party, here on the other side
[Chorus]
Who's to say who's crazy, It's easy to see
All you gotta do is turn on your T.V.
All the people on the outside tryin' to be someone else
I'm havin' fun here just bein' myself, in Chattahoochee.
They brought me here and said,"You're so dangerous to yourself"
But I ain't the one here 'out to blow us all to hell
Just here to have a good time, let me know how it goes
Don't have to worry, the Doctor's always in
I'd rather be here with all of my friends.
I got a view no one else can see
Everybody here knows just what's right for me
Don't have to worry, the Doctor's always in
I'm never lonely, I'm here with all my friends
[Chorus:]
In Chattahoochee, I'm not crazy
Chattahoochee, I'm just lazy
Chattahoochee, Found my home
In Chattahoochee.
Out on the outside they sweat to pay the rent
While we play cards, they say we ain't got no sense
They think they have a good time
Blowin' somethin' up their nose
Their corporate ladder can kill you it's so high
While it's a party, here on the other side
[Chorus]
Who's to say who's crazy, It's easy to see
All you gotta do is turn on your T.V.
All the people on the outside tryin' to be someone else
I'm havin' fun here just bein' myself, in Chattahoochee.
They brought me here and said,"You're so dangerous to yourself"
But I ain't the one here 'out to blow us all to hell
Just here to have a good time, let me know how it goes
Don't have to worry, the Doctor's always in
I'd rather be here with all of my friends.
Innocent Eyes lyrics - 38 Special
It was a coal black night
I was standing on a pier
I was thinking of a time
When you were here
We were so in love
We were blind to the world
Through the innocent eyes
Of a boy and a girl
Oh baby time goes on
But the memory won't fade
And when I hear that old song
I can't help thinkin' 'bout the love we made
[CHORUS]
One time I'd like to go back
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to do that
If I could find a way
Now that innocent eyes have faded
On the night we met
We danced across the floor
From our first embrace
We were hungry for more
But baby time goes on
But the memory plays games
And when you hear that old song
Do you ever stop thinkin' about the love we made
[CHORUS]
One time I'd like to go back
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to do that
If I could find a way
One night is all that I ask
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to go back
If life would play that way
Oh but innocent eyes fade
I was standing on a pier
I was thinking of a time
When you were here
We were so in love
We were blind to the world
Through the innocent eyes
Of a boy and a girl
Oh baby time goes on
But the memory won't fade
And when I hear that old song
I can't help thinkin' 'bout the love we made
[CHORUS]
One time I'd like to go back
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to do that
If I could find a way
Now that innocent eyes have faded
On the night we met
We danced across the floor
From our first embrace
We were hungry for more
But baby time goes on
But the memory plays games
And when you hear that old song
Do you ever stop thinkin' about the love we made
[CHORUS]
One time I'd like to go back
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to do that
If I could find a way
One night is all that I ask
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to go back
If life would play that way
Oh but innocent eyes fade
Love Strikes lyrics - 38 Special
It's been rainin' so hard
Been lonely so long
'til you reached in the dark
I never thought you'd find me
But now I walk in the light
Wherever I go
I wanna feel the strength
Watch it unfold
Share it all with you
There's one thing that I know, yea.
[Chorus:]
It runs deep
When love strikes
It hits so hard, stops you dead in your tracks
It takes over from inside
When love strikes
It's spreading like fire
My heart's melting like ice
It's lightning traveling on wire
Hit me straight between the eyes, yea
I wanna take it tonight
As far as it goes
I wanna feel the strength
Watch it unfold
Share it all with you
There's one thing that I know, yea
[Chorus]
You may not recover
You'll know it's right
When love strikes
Been lonely so long
'til you reached in the dark
I never thought you'd find me
But now I walk in the light
Wherever I go
I wanna feel the strength
Watch it unfold
Share it all with you
There's one thing that I know, yea.
[Chorus:]
It runs deep
When love strikes
It hits so hard, stops you dead in your tracks
It takes over from inside
When love strikes
It's spreading like fire
My heart's melting like ice
It's lightning traveling on wire
Hit me straight between the eyes, yea
I wanna take it tonight
As far as it goes
I wanna feel the strength
Watch it unfold
Share it all with you
There's one thing that I know, yea
[Chorus]
You may not recover
You'll know it's right
When love strikes
