INJURED IN THE GAME OF LOVE
(Avsec, Ierace)
All right... yeah!
Did you ever come up lame
When you played the game of love
My baby she likes to hurt me
It's worse than broken bones
Worse than open wounds
My baby she likes playing dirty
She kicked me when I was down
Now I can't get up
Looks like I'm gonna need a stretcher again boys
CHORUS
Cause she broke my heart
She bust my soul
I've been injured in the game of love
But I like girls and rock n' roll
I've been injured in the game of love
I know you put your guard down
Before the gun sounds
C'mon babe I wanna score tonight
Because the game was fun
Now it's 4th and 1
C'mon baby don't say no tonight
Cause when the night is through
I am still be wanting you
And I gotta walk all the way home tonight
REPEAT CHORUS
10TH STREET
(Avsec, Ierace)
Me and Pooch
We were from the west end of town
And all the kids on the streets
Used to hang at the corner playground
There was Billy and Bobby and Rikki the Knife
And the girl I swear I'd love till the day I died
In the summers outta school
You knew just what to do
CHORUS
On 10th Street
There's no school like my old school
On 10th Street
There's no food like the Greasy Spoon
On 10th Street
There's no bar like Crazy Lou's
On 10th Street
I wish that I could go back home
I didn't want to be your whipping post
But I pledge my love to the girl I love the most
And old pal Bonio he was straining his neck
I guess you got a little lovin'
but you lost your respect
Yeah me and pooch we we're laughin'
Yeah we always had a ball
On 10th Street
Life was so simple then
On 10th Street
I miss all my good old friends
On 10th Street
Give me a house with a picket fence
On 10th Street
That's my America
But now they put up a parking lot
They made the people all get out
Damn the man with a plan to put an end
I said damn the man with a plan to put an end to
10th Street
On 10th Street
Life was so simple then
On 10th Street
I miss all my good old friends
On 10th Street
Give me a house with a picket fence
On 10th Street
That's my America
God Bless America
God Bless America
Yeah
On 10th Street
God Bless America
RIDIN' THUNDER
(Avsec, Ierace)
Feel the wind blow
On my way to Bobby Joe's
I got the wind at my back
I got my Daddy's Cadallac
I'm going down to The Flats
I'm gonna mingle with the river rats
CHORUS
Ridin' thunder
Ridin' thunder
I'll be ridin' thunder.. tonight
Ridin' thunder
Ridin' thunder
I'll be ridin' thunder.. tonight
Waiting for a train
I been waiting on a friend
I been waiting for this evening
C'mon c'mon now Mary Ann
Cause today I was a wide eyed boy
But tomorrow I'll be a man
REPEAT CHORUS
Rivers rising with the sun and the heat
Bobby Joe is sleeping
Crashed in the backseat
Now I just sat and thought for awhile
The river runs for miles
And I smiled
Ridin' thunder
Ridin' thunder
I was ridin' thunder... last night
Ridin' thunder
Ridin' thunder
We were ridin' thunder... that's right
YOU'RE MY SERENITY
(Avsec, Ierace)
Everyday I hear the same old sounds
In the same old town
Sometimes my job just gets me down
It's then I wonder what I'd do
If you weren't around
You put a smile back on my face
Put everything in the right place
CHORUS
Whoa-oh, my-y
You're my serenity
Whoa-oh, my-y
You're my serenity
Sometimes I tried for love
Sometimes I'd fight for love
But either way I was afraid of love
But that's before I found a love
That really was true
When this old man start feeling blue
All he does is look at you
Whoa-oh, my-y
You're my serenity
You're my little girl
Whoa-oh, my-y
You're my serenity
You're just what I need
You give me happiness
You give me peace
When this crazy world is hard to take
When I feel like dropping out of the race
When the leaves outside start tumbling down
When my job turns me inside out
The point is when this old man starts feeling blue
All he gotta do is just look look look at you
Whoa-oh, my-y
You're my serenity
Like a shower in spring
Whoa-oh, my-y
You're my serenity
Like the sun on a winters day
Whoa-oh, my-y
You're my serenity
Like the dawn of a new day
Whoa-oh, my-y
You're my serenity
You're just what I need
L.O.V.E.
(Avsec, Ierace)
You got an L
You got an O
V and E
That spells love
That's what you need
L.O.V.E.
Oh the name of the game is love
CHORUS
You got an L
You got an O
V and E
That spells love (That's what you need)
That's what you need
L.O.V.E.
Oh the name of the game is love
Looking for some gold
In a bed of urgent romance
Dance your urban dance
You got to believe
With an L (You got an L)
And an O (You got an O)
V and E
That spells love (That's what you need)
That's what you need
L.O.V.E.
Oh the name of the game is love
Little painted soul
In a naked city
Looking for some gold
In a bed of urgent romance
Dance your urban dance
With an L (You got an L)
And an O (You got an O)
V and E
That spells love (That's what you need)
That's what you need
L.O.V.E.
Oh the name of the game is love
For the painted face
You can't wash with pity
Money for a taste
A reward for earnest romance
Still we both take our chances
We'll be dancing in the streets
With an L (You got an L)
And an O (You got an O)
V and E
That spells love (That's what you need)
L.O.V.E.
Oh the name of the game is love
REPEAT CHORUS
FOLLOW THAT CAR
(Avsec, Ierace)
Hey boy they say you want too much
You better wake
You better listen cause you're
You're out of touch
You better shape up
You're drivin' all night
You're feelin' all right
CHORUS
Out on the street
And livin' a dream
Back on the beat
A part of the scene
Follow that car
Cause dreaming is easy
Reach for your star
Ya gotta believe
Peope like you
Ain't supposed to have dreams
You better slow down
So why do you still
Still believe
What is the low down?
You're drivin' all night
You're feelin' all right
REPEAT CHORUS
Don't ever stop believing
Someday you will see it through
You got to keep on driving on... yeah
And you know
And you know it won't be long
You're drivin' all night
You're feelin' all right
REPEAT CHORUS
DON'T CRY BABY
(G. Jones)
I thought I told you 'bout a half a million times
Not to worry about tomorrow
Cause I got everything under control
I'm looking out for you
But you've been waiting and wondering why
I don't always make it home
Lately you've been getting down and out
When you're alone
CHORUS
Don't cry baby
Don't cry now
(Don't you cry no more)
Don't cry baby
Cause I'll be around now
I'll wipe the tear drops
Right off of your face
Let your smile begin to shine
I wanna see you with that look in your eyes
Like everything's fine
REPEAT CHORUS
STATE OF THE HEART
(Avsec, Ierace)
Now I was crazy to think that I could have you
I'm a fool, my love
But you led me to think you could want me to
That was cruel, my love
I guess that I'm just a hopeless romantic at heart
I keep believing in true love
I live in the dark
The dark
CHORUS
It's a state of the heart
A place in the dark
So barren and cold
Where nothing seems to grow
In the state of the heart
(State of the heart)
A place in the dark
(Place in the dark)
Where romance is a lost art
In the state of the heart
Well I can tell by the way you kiss goodbye
That we're cool, my love
And I can tell by the way you say goodnight
If we're through, my love
How can I go on without you
Where do I start yeah
Now that you're gone
I can't see cause I live in the dark
In the dark
REPEAT CHORUS
HEADED FOR A BREAKDOWN
(Avsec, Ierace)
Whoa-oh
Yeah-h
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Now I've been wanting you for so long
And girl my heart is beating so strong
It's a physical attraction
But I can't get the same reaction
Cause you insist on playing games girl
Well you're driving me insane girl
CHORUS
And I'm headed for a breakdown
I can't afford another let down no no
Yes I'm headed for a breakdown
I'm going down down down down down
You're a spider in disguise
You weave your web with a pack of lies
Trapped your prey with a sweet bait
When he finds out it's too late
Cause the spider she will tease you
Have her fun before she eats you
And you're headed for a breakdown
I can't afford another let down no no
Yeah you're headed for a breakdown
Baby I'm down down down down down
Breakdown!
Yeah!
Oh I wanna be around girl
When somebody takes you down girl
Somebody who is too smart
To let your break another poor heart
Oh life is like a spinning wheel
And one day you'll see how I feel
And you'll be headed for a breakdown
You can't afford another let down
Yes you're headed for a breakdown
Down down down
Oh you're headed for a breakdown
You cant' afford another let down no no
Yeah headed for a breakdown
You're goin' down down down
Yeah headed for a breakdown wooh
Yeah headed for a breakdown
Down down down down
I WANT YOU BACK
(Avsec, Ierace)
Oh
Maybe I spend too much on my work
And maybe I left you all alone at home
I didn't mean to treat you like an orphan
This time I'll treat you like one of my own
CHORUS
You're gonna need a miracle
I know but I want her back
It's gonna take a miracle
Whatever it takes
Cause I want you back
Cause I want you back
You know I've had a lot of bad breaks
But I've been a victim of circumstance
I know I've made a lot of bad mistakes
But everybody needs a second chance
REPEAT CHORUS
I never said how much I loved you girl
I took for granted that you knew
So won't ya help me through it girl
You're gonna need a miracle
I know but I want her back
It's gonna take a miracle
Whatever it takes I just a want her back
You're gonna need a miracle
I know but I want her back
It's gonna take a miracle
Whatever it takes cause I want you back
Yes I want you back
REPEAT CHORUS
