"Portable Radio"

"Portable Radio"



Take your pick of the modulation
Like a kid in a candy store
It's a hand-carry situation
Made for lying on the beach
Or dancin in the streets
You got your pertinent information
Or you can tune in to hear the scores
There's a power in a million stations
You can't ignore

Radio
crank up the power
Radio
rock it for hours and hours
Radio
play it soft and low
Viva la Portable Radio
turn up the power all night

Well I don't wanna hear no static
And I don't wanna hear no jaw
Put them platters on automatic
I cannot get enough
Got to give me more and more
Play some soul for the congregation
Rock n' roll for the kids next door
Charge up your batteries across the nation
Viva la Portable Radio
It's x-static

"Possession Obsession"

"Possession Obsession"



You know there's something you need
Right here and now
To fill the space inside of yourself
Money love or power
When you want to have the number one first run anyone
You're crazy 'til you own them
You ought to know better than that
The more that you buy the less you get back
It's a case of possession obsession
Gimme Gimme

The compulsion to count the percentage of time
Spent between two lovers
Can turn an hour into a crime
And all the good times suffer
Though you know it's only jealousy
You can't help but be
Haunted by your passion
Don't you know it's a matter of fact
The more that you take the less you give back
Just a taste of possession obsession
Brings a case of possession obsession
Gimme Gimme

"Private Eyes"

"Private Eyes"


I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin' the lines
When you're making a scene
Oh girl, you've got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it's watching for lies
You can't escape my

Private Eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private Eyes
They're watching you
Private Eyes
They're watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching you

You play with words
You play with love
You can twist it around, baby
That ain't enough
'Cos girl
I'm gonna know
If you're letting me in
Or letting me go
Don't lie
When you're hurting inside
'Cos you can't escape my

Private Eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private Eyes
They're watching you
Private Eyes
They're watching you
Watching you
Watching you
Watching you

[Instrumental Interlude]

Why you try to put up a front for me
I'm a spy but on your side, you see
Slip on into any disguise
I'll still know you
Look into my Private Eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Oh, babe, Private Eyes
They're watching you
Private Eyes
They're watching you, yeah
They see your every move
They see it
Ooooh, they're watching you
Private Eyes
They're watching you...

"Promise Ain't Enough"

"Promise Ain't Enough"


Don't wanna open your heart
You're afraid from the start
That a new love's gonna let you down
There is something you should know
Before you give up and go
I don' believe in the run around
I just want to define myself
And show you how l feel

[Chorus:]
If a promise ain't enough
Then a touch says everything
Got to hold you in my arms
Till you feel what I mean
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove so much
If a promise ain't enough

Hold onto my love
Though my words can't describe
How I'm feeling all inside
Does my touch say anything to you
I'm not afraid to take time
Cause I know you'll find
That I'm real and my touch is true
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart
And I give it all to you

[Chorus]

It took a lifetime to find what I want
I won't let it get away

[Chorus]

"Realove"

"Realove"



One man says, "Look to heaven for true love"
One child so blind with the stars in her eyes
So why do you think that could be right
She tries but there ain't no way to buy second sight
Oh those Eastern ways on Western nites
I want to be the heart of your desire

ReaLove is a passion play
ReaLove is a passion play

You mean to make him take it your way
I know his mind is in the shadows
He'll take you all the way thru midnite
So sad you can't run but you can't fight
Oh those Eastern ways on Western nites
I want to be the heart of your desire

ReaLove is a passion play
ReaLove is a passion play

"Rich Girl"

"Rich Girl"



You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far

Don't you know, don't you know
That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong 'cause

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far

High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far
Say money but it won't get you too far
Say money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far

And you say
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
You're a rich girl, a rich girl
Oh, you're a rich, rich girl yeah
Say money but it won't get you too far
Oh, get ya too far

"Rock Steady"
(originally by Aretha Franklin)



Rock steady baby!
That's what I feel now
Let's call this song exactly what it is

Step n' move your hips
With a feelin' from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car
And take a ride
And while you're movin'
Rock steady
Rock steady baby
Let's call this song exactly what it is
(What it is -what it is - what it is)

It's a funky and low down feelin'
(What it is)
In my hips from left to right
(What it is)

What it is
Is I might be do in'
(What it is)
This funky dance all night
Oh!
(Let me hear ya gotta feelin' in the air)
Oh!
(Gotta a feelin' an ain't got a care)
Oh!

Rock steady will only slide)

Rock steady....... rock steady baby.
Rock steady....... rock steady baby

Rock steady
Steady it baby!
Rock....rock steady baby

"Rockability"

"Rockability"



Standing on the sideline
Waiting for the right time
That girl knows her part
Jammin' with my heart
Didn't wanna be here
But now that I see her
I know why I ran
& why I'm 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
That's too much

Ooh that news excites me
`Cause the girl's got Rockability
Think she'll go all the way
`Cause the girl's got Rockability

Ooh she's really out there
So knocked out l=I don't care
That Amazon thing can make a body sing
Every move is startime
She's 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 won't tell
That I'm the one

Ooh that news excites me
The girl's got Rockability
Think she'll go all the way
`Cause the girl's got Rockability

Doin' wrong if I can't do her right
Yeah I'm making my play
Any way I can get it
The girl's got Rock

"Rocket To God"

"Rocket To God"



I can't live without you
Girl I can't let go
Everybody tells me
Daryl just walk away
They don't know the power
We have together
Ain't no one can tell me
What to believe

Oh baby you move my soul
Like a Rocket to God
Oh Honey I wanna fly to your arms

Dream too much about you
Both the good and the bad
Maybe I'm too jealous
But I just don't care
Everytime you hurt me
It's a scar on my heart
Everytime you love me
It's ecstasy my dear

Oh baby you move my soul
Like a Rocket to God
Oh honey I wanna fly to your arms
Oh baby you move my soul
Like a Rocket to God
Oh honey I wanna die in your arms

I can feel you baby
Even tho you're nowhere near
Ain't no one can save me
Don't want to stop I want to go up
Like a Rocket

"Romeo Is Bleeding"

"Romeo Is Bleeding"


You made me love you
Too blind to see, yeah
Tomorrow comes
Casanova might bleed
Having so much,
How could I be so far wrong
I've always known pain is part of pleasure
For someone else
Hoping it would never cloud my soul
Taking me so long to fall, oh no

[Chorus:]
Romeo is Bleeding
Can't hold out forever
Romeo is Bleeding
Hurting for himself
Romeo is Bleeding
No pulling it together
Romeo is Bleeding

Why you die for love?
You can't imagine what you don't know
So here I am,
How'd I get so much in love
Led by my heart
And addicted to the thrill - oh
You come around say
You lost your love light
I'm breaking down,
Paying for my past life
Found out by all the pain that I feel

[Chorus:]
Romeo is Bleeding
Can't hold out forever
Romeo is Bleeding
Hurting for himself
Romeo is Bleeding
No pulling it together
Romeo is Bleeding

Why you die for love?
I won't die
But I better find a way to be healed

[Chorus]
