STILL GOT THIS THING

Oh yeah, yeah-yeah

Why is it so hard to say what's on my mind, 'n why am I so proud
Still got this thing for you

I know you understand, but you still need a sign, real logic, shout out loud
Still got this thing for you

Chorus:
Hey baby, can I carry your flame? I wanna take you somewhere untamed
Don't you know you're driving me insane - still got this thing for you

When you walk that way, I can feel the heat, just below the surface
I'd do anything for you, aha yeah

When you're out all alone, I hear things from streets, and I get kinda nervous
Still got this thing for you

chorus

Let me see you smile, come on look me in the eye
Too many times I let the traces go by
Pull down the shades, turn out the light
Help me make up the love of my life tonight

(Solo)

(Will I know it's true, still got this thing for you
Will I know it's true, still got this thing for you)

Hey baby, can I carry your flame? I wanna take you somewhere untamed
Don't you know you're driving me insane
If we can't connect, oh that would be a shame

Well, chorus

(Still got this thing for you, still got this thing for you) (repeats out)...

LOVE IS

Hard to get, impossible to hold, straight and narrow, like a burning fuse
In a long cold dawn, by the side of the road, a hopeless case, a perfect thing

Chorus:
Love is (love is) what you want it to be
Love is (love is) heaven to the lonely
Show me what you want me to do, 'cos love is what I got for you

I close my eyes, I search the stars, cry for help, I wake up cold
You're in my system, under my skin, raw emotion, please don't go

chorus

Can't live on promises, won't sleep with lies
Don't understand the things you say, till I read 'em in your eyes
Gotta run on instincts, gotta go by feel
Gotta trust my senses, know it is for real

(Solo)

Can't live on promises, won't sleep with lies
Don't understand the things you say, till I read 'em in your eyes
Gotta run on instincts, gotta go by feel
Gotta trust my senses

chorus

Love is (love is, love is) love is (show me)
(Love is, love is, show me) (to fade)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLACK VELVET

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin', there's a baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Chorus:
Black velvet in that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles
The way he moved, it was a song, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

chorus

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could you do?

(Solo)

chorus repeats 2x

If you please, if you please, if you please

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROCK THIS JOINT

He was Johnny the spy, he was red hot, walked slow and smoked light
She was Jukebox Jenny, anyone hit, with big eyes and bright red lips
I said hey, yeah-hey-hey

They eased on out to the centre of the floor
They started dancing like never before
She's spinnin' like crazy, crashing into the crowd
And took two tables, screaming mile out loud

Chorus:
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint), I wanna take this town
'Cos I light up when the sun goes down
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint), I wanna shake this place
'Cos I wanna die with a smile on my face
I said hey, yeah-hey-hey, I said hey, yeah-hey-hey

The whole damn place lay a little street, climbing on kites, high in the sheet
Off on brew, Janet jived with his date, the cops come by, it was far too late
I said hey, a-hey

And Johnny came to, his head was a mess
Woke up, dreamed by skin-tight dress
He found a loose end at the end of his bed
But the words can't get right out of his head

chorus

(Solo)

I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint), I wanna take this town
I wanna rock this joint (rock this joint), I wanna shake this place
'Cos I light up when the sun goes down
'Cos I wanna die with a smile on my face
I said hey, yeah-hey-hey, I said hey, yeah-hey-hey

Hey, hey-hey-hey (repeats 4x)
Hey

LOVER OF MINE

Why do I feel like I'm losing you
Will it ever become what I've always wanted it to
You tell me I'm the lucky one, how can you say that
When it breaks my heart to see another woman with you

Chorus:
Oho lover of mine, oho lover of mine
When it hurts so bad, I wanna hold you in my arms
Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine

After we've said all there is to say
Am I still in your heart or am I just in your way
My desire for you is running wild, jealousy, the dangerous kind
When I see you looking at another woman that way

chorus

Please set me free or give me a reason for trying to keep it alive
There is no need for us to be lonely, give me some kind of hope
I'w walking a fine line

chorus

Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine
Make me feel like you wanna be a lover of mine

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KICK START MY HEART

You're kinda cool, a little rough
You're skin and bones and you're tox on tough
You take your time, you like to make me waiting
Just when I'm ready to accelerate

You wanna see me in the middle of the night
You hit the streets, you're riding every night, you wanna

Chorus:
Kick start my heart, kick start my heart
Kick start my heart, kick start my heart

You get me going, you got the touch
And then you tell me that I want too much
You call me angel, say I'm a child
Then you hit me with that rebel smile

You wanna take me and you know I wanna go
I lose control so easily, you know how to

chorus

Kick start my heart, kick start my heart

(Solo)

chorus repeats out

(You get me going, you got my heart, you get me going, you got the touch)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF YOU WANT TO

Every man I meet is in a hurry to find a new romance
Always wanna leave the party early, maybe I like to dance

Slowly, if you really wanna know me, take it easy when you're on me
I'm a let-go

Chorus:
Play cool, straight and true, look me in the eye
If you want to (want to) talk to me
Take your time, don't be shy, tell me your name
If you want to (want to) walk with me

I'm the kind who waits for something special, instead of falling too fast
I believe the night is something precious, that's why I want it to last

So slowly, if you really wanna know me, take it easy when you're on me
Don't let me go

chorus

What are we gonna do, you look like you're something new
And I like the way you move

(Solo)

Don't let me go!

chorus

Little by little I let you know
If I want you (want to) to get close to me

(Na na na na, na na na na, na na - want to, want to)
(Na na na na, na na na na, na na - want to, want to) Only if you want to
(repeats out)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JUST ONE KISS

I've heard there's always one that's got to get away
Let him go, even though it's not that easy
I never listen to what the people say
I lose control, I let desire lead me

My conscience aches but it's gonna lose the fight
I don't care, I'd give it all away tonight

For just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one

Of these fantasies I kept inside you now
Lead me on, I will follow gladly
Please don't be mad at me because I let it show
Is it so wrong to want you this badly

You got the power that I know I can't resist
My heart is pounding and I'm bound to take a risk

For just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss

What if we lose tonight, we'll never know
Should we give love a try or let it go
I can't help what I do, the closer and closer I get to you

(Solo)

My conscience aches but it's gonna lose the fight
I don't care, I'd give it all away tonight

For just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss, for just one kiss

Just one kiss (repeats out...)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHO LOVES YOU

I send a message to you, I close my eyes and hope it gets through
It's in the language of love, it's in your touch, there in your mouth

I wonder if you hear me tonight, sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight, do you belong to me

Chorus:
Who loves you, who you're gonna run to
Who loves you, whatcha gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you're gonna run to
Who loves you, whatcha gonna do about it now

So tired, I can't fall asleep, I close my eyes and breathe in the heat
I've got this passion for you, like inspiration out of the blue

I wonder if you hear me tonight, sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight, do you belong to me

chorus

(Solo)

chorus repeats 2x
Whatcha gonna do about it now

I send a message to you, I close my eyes and hope it gets through

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HURRY MAKE LOVE

Don't leave me at home too long, don't let me fall asleep on a song
Don't stay up with your damn TV, somebody else might make love to me

Chorus:
Hurry, hurry, hurry make love to me
Hurry, hurry, hurry make love to me

I don't believe in lying, no, I don't watch all that tall grass grow
Don't believe in 'darn' and 'sucks', I just believe in love talks


chorus - now

(Solo)

chorus repeats 2x
