"Give It A Try"

"Give It A Try"



Everybody has a dream that they hold on to
But what can they do to make it come true?
Everybody has a whole lot of life to live
But you've got to sit back
Oh, you gotta relax!

You've got to love every breath you breathe
Look at the sky and believe (oh yeah)
Smile a little more as life goes by
With love in your eyes
Just give it a try
Give it a try

If you're tired of looking over your shoulder It's time, to take a look at yourself.
Don't be left on the shelf
In the end you will surrender and then you'll be fine
Like everyone else
You'll be back in yourself

You've got to love every breath you breathe
Look at the sky and believe (oh yeah)
Smile a little more as life goes by
With love in your eyes
Just give it a try
Give it a try

Everybody makes mistakes sometimes.
It's all right. It's all right!
But you can have a better life my friend, here in the ?back?
One day at a time, and your life will shine

You've got to love every breath you breathe
Look at the sky and believe (oh yeah)
Smile a little more as life goes by
With love in your eyes
Just give it a try
Give it a try
Why kiss it good bye? (bye, bye).
Just give it a try!

"Give Me Back The Beat"

"Give Me Back The Beat"



Living on the street tonight's
A lonely place to be all right, oh lord
The rhythm of the city, I don't find it pretty anymore
Like I did before
You walked out my door

Give me back the beat
Give me back the beat
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

If you come back to me
I'll be dancing in the street
I miss the two we had before
That made me tap my feet
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone

Give me back the beat and let's rock on
I feel the pounding of your heart
But I'm alone here in the dark, it's true
Alleys filled with misery
Shadows of your memories break thru
I never knew
How much I needed you

Give me back the beat
Give me back the beat
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

If you come back to me
I'll be dancing in the street
I miss the two we had before
That made me tap my feet
That used to rock this boy asleep now that you're gone

Give me back the beat and let's rock on
I won't sleep baby, I can't eat
I'm in too deep
It's a high fall running into a brick wall
All by yourself
But I know what will help

Give me back the beat
Give me back the beat
Give me back the only thing that makes my life complete

"Glamorous Life"
(feat. Sheila E.)

"Glamorous Life"
(feat. Sheila E.)



She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summertime
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind

She's got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl, she really wants
Is 2 be in love with a man

She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much

She saw him standing in the section marked
"If U have 2 ask, U can't afford it" lingerie
She threw him bread and said "Make me scream"
In the dark, what could he say

Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don't impress me in bed
She said I need a man's man baby, diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head

She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much

They made haste in the brown sedan
They drove 2 55 Secret Street
They made love and by the 7th wave
She knew she had a problem

She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is 4 ever and that's all your life
Love is heaven sent - it's glamorous

Lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She's want 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much

[Chorus:]
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much

Lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants 2 lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much

[Chorus 3x]

"Going Down"

"Going Down"




I'm going down,
I'm going down.

I'm going down.

I'm coming up,
I'm coming up.

I'm coming up.

I'm moving on, (moving on)
I'm moving on. (moving on)

(well, we're moving on) moving on.

"Golden Blunders"

"Golden Blunders"



Golden blunders come in pairs,
They're very unaware
What they know is what they've seen.
Education wasn't fun,
But now that school is done,
Higher learning's just begun, hey, hey, hey.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time,
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time,
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

Disappointment breeds contempt,
It makes you feel inept,
Never thought you'd feel alone at home.
His and hers forever more,
Throw your freedom out the door
Before you find out what it's for, hey, hey, hey.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time,
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time,
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

Four weeks seemed like a long time then,
But nine months is longer now.
And even if you never speak again,
You've already made the wedding vow.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

Honeymoons will never start,
Bonds will blow apart
Just as fast as they were made.
Men and women, please, beware,
Don't pretend you care.
Nothing lasts when nothing's there, ah-hah-hah.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.

"Gone Are The Days"

"Gone Are The Days"



Gone are the days
Gone are the days
sometimes you lose yourself
nobody's there when you fight for him

Gone are the days
Gone are the days
I hope you find what you're looking for
You could chose young it's an open door

I know you will believe me
When I say it won't come easy
Oh no, oh no it don't come easy

You think you've got a problem
I know you've got a problem, oh yeah
Oh yeah

I know you will believe me
When I say it don't come easy
Oh no, oh no it don't come easy

You think you've got a problem
I know you've got a problem, oh yeah
Oh yeah

"Gypsies In Flight"

"Gypsies In Flight"



Leaving again,
I don't know where or when we'll meet again.

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

I see your face
In ev'ryone who passes, can't take your place.

With some regrets,
Our affair has ended but who can forget?

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

I'd like to thank you
For spending time with me.
And when the morning comes,
I know you must be free.

Leaving again,
I don't know where or when we'll meet again.

Gypsies in flight,
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

Gypsies in flight, (gypsies in flight)
I look into your eyes and see gypsies in flight.

Gypsies in flight,
Gypsies in flight.

"Hard Times"

"Hard Times"



She asks me 'round to have a bite to eat,
When i get there, she's invited the street.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.

I tell her that i'd rather be alone,
She gets the car and says she'll drive me home.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.

Now, take a night, like the night we met,
I was drinking in the bar, just tryin' to forget.
When she comes home and says, "you're looking blue."
I said, "with my problems so, wouldn't you?"

She takes me home and slips on something cool,
She gives me kisses where she don't as a rule.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.

Take it away, sugar!

She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.

Now, take a night, like the night we met,
I was drinking in the bar, just tryin' to forget.
When she comes home and says, "you're looking blue."
I said, "with my problems so, wouldn't you?"

She takes me home and slips on something cool,
She let me kiss her where she don't as a rule.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.
She gives me hard times,
But when she loves me, she loves me.

She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times,
She give me, she give me such hard times.
