OPEN ARMS

OPEN ARMS


Ask me no questions
I'll tell you no lies
Come to me when you're down
I'll give you friendly advice
I'll be your avenue, your trusting ear
Release your deepest secrets
I'll be sincere

It's an age old situation
There's nothing to fear
Whatever life throws at you
Your friend is here
Right by your side

When love leaves you cold
Lies have been told
I will be there with my open arms
Hurting inside
Please don't hide the pain
I will be there with my open arms

I know what you're saying
I been there myself
Promises withstand
They left me for someone else
Then the tables turn
A lesson I had to learn
I can't put my fingers cuz
Girls, my fingers have been burned

It's an age old situation
The message is clear
Whatever life throws at you
Your friend is here
Right by your side

OVERNIGHT SENSATION

OVERNIGHT SENSATION


WELL I GUESS I`VE BEEN A LONG TIME
WORKING IN THE BACKLINE
TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT
YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE
TWO DOLLAR HI-HEEL SHOES AND A HONKY TONK DRESS
IN THE RHYTHM AN THE SOUL REVUES
I HAD A DREAM I GUESS
YES YES

AND I HAD TO BEAT THE STAGEFRIGHT
I HAD TO CRY ALL NIGHT
TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT
YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE
I SAID GIRL, GET UP AND GET OUT OF THIS MESS
YOU`RE GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION
BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

AND ALL THROUGH THE BADLANDS
ROCKING ON THE BANDSTANDS
IT`S SO HARD IN THE BAR BANDS
THAN THERE`S NOONE THERE WHO UNDERSTANDS
AND LADY LUCK`LL PASS HER BY
AND SHE`LL NEVER SAY YES
YOU`RE GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION
GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

WELL I USED TO BE A SWEET LITTLE ROCK`N`ROLL SINGER
CHASING AFTER FORTUNE AND FAME
WHAT`S YOUR STORY WHAT`S YOUR PAYOLA
ME I`M IN THE MUSIC GAME

WELL I GUESS I`VE BEEN A LONG TIME
WORKING IN THE BACKLINE
TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT
YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE
WHAT CAN I TELL YOU
I MADE A BREAK I GUESS
NOW I`M AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION
I`M AN OVERNIGHT
I`M AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

PARADISE IS HERE

PARADISE IS HERE


YOU SAY YOU WANT TO LIVE SOME
MOVE OUT INTO THE FAST LANE
YOU SAY YOU NEED EXCITEMENT
TO MAKE YOU COME ALIVE
SOME PLACE A MILLIONS MILES FROM
THE SHADOWS THAT SURROUND YOU

I LOOK FOR YOUR ATTENTION
YOU`RE LOST OUT IN THE FUTURE
WHERE LOVERS ASK NO QUESTIONS
AND SHADOWS NEVER FALL
SOME PILGRIM BOUND FOR PARADISE
NO COMPROMISE

BUT PARADISE IS HERE
IT`S TIME TO STOP YOUR CRYING
THE FUTURE IS THIS MOMENT
AND NOT SOME PLACE OUT THERE
TONIGHT I NEED YOUR LOVE
DON`T TALK ABOUT TOMORROW
RIGHT NOW I NEED YOUR LOVING
RIGHT NOW GIVE IT TO ME
RIGHT NOW I WANT YOUR LOVING
RIGHT NOW - NOW NOW NOW

YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR NEW PLANS
TO MOVE ON UP THE STAIRWAY
YOU DREAM ABOUT THE HIGHLIFE
THAT`S WAITING FOR YOU THERE
A WORLD OF FAME AND FORTUNE
THAT`S JUST AROUND THE CORNER
BUT I DON`T NEED NO HIGH LIFE
TO MAKE ME FEEL A WOMAN
AND I DON`T NEED TO REACH FOR
NO CASTLES IN THE SKY
JUST PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
DEVOUR ME

'COS PARADISE IS HERE
IT`S TIME TO STOP YOUR CRYING
THE FUTURE IS THIS MOMENT
AND NOT SOME PLACE OUT THERE
TONIGHT I NEED YOUR LOVE
DON`T TALK ABOUT TOMORROW
RIGHT NOW I NEED YOUR LOVING
RIGHT NOW GIVE IT TO ME
RIGHT NOW I WANT YOUR LOVING
RIGHT NOW - NOW NOW NOW

Well the men come in these places
and the men are all the same

PROUD MARY

PROUD MARY


Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the Man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

(chorus)
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin' yeah, rollin' on the river
rollin' on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
and I popped a lot off tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

(chorus)
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin' yeah, rollin' on the river
rollin' on the river

If you come down to the River
Bet you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

(repeat chorus)

Just lookin' for a new man
Out in the sunlight
Trying hard to impress myself!
Oh I'm seeing now what I'm really made out

RIVER DEEP - MOUNTAIN HIGH

RIVER DEEP - MOUNTAIN HIGH


When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that
rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day

And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down

Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows

And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the
spring
And I love you baby just like Tina loves to
sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves
his pet
And I love you baby, river deep mountain
high
Oh yeah you've gotta believe me
River Deep, Mountain High
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

ROCK ME BABY

ROCK ME BABY


Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I said I want you to
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me like my back ain't got no bones

Roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
Want you to roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
I want you to roll me till I want no more

When you see me coming go get your rockin' chair
When you see me coming go get your rockin' chair
I want you to rock me, rock me away from here

Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I said I want you to Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me like my back ain't got no bones

Roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough

ROCK N ROLL WIDOW

ROCK N ROLL WIDOW


I'm sitting at home and the phone doesn't even ring
I'm all alone again
Not a sound in the house save the radio
Fm dj filling up the emptiness
Baby's on the road again
Six weeks nation-wide opening the show

And I'm making it on my own like a rock'n roll widow
Get my news from the rolling stone, wake by the telephone
Wonder if he's alone
Or is my man on a permanent loan to rock'n roll
Rock'n roll

Outdoor concert, watching him play for me

I fall in love again
He says his music is everything
Helpless, caught by the melody
When he begins to sing
Go on, tell me he's like all the rest

And I'm making it on my own like a rock'n roll widow
Get my news from the rolling stone, wake by the telephone
Wonder if he's alone
Or is my man on a permanent loan to rock'n roll
Rock'n roll

Watching him run
I've got the feeling that he's already lost in the life

So I'm making it on my own like a rock'n roll widow
Get my news from the rolling stone, wake by the telephone
Wonder if he's alone
Or is my man on a permanent loan to rock'n roll

SHOW SOME RESPECT

SHOW SOME RESPECT


I MADE A RESOLUTION
AND A PLAN TO DO MY WORK
BUT I NEED YOU TO MAKE IT WORK
YOU`VE GOT TO READ THE MESSAGE
UNDERSTAND WHAT`S ON MY MIND
CAUSE NOT TO SEE WOULD BE A CRIME
AND WE COULD LOOSE IT ANYTIME

[CHORUS]
WE`VE GOT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT
WE`VE GOT TO LEARN TO PROTECT
DON`T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED I KNOW
THAT IF YOU WANT TO STAY CLOSE
WE`VE GOT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT

BUT I BELIEVE IN WORKING
THEN I BELIEVE IN A LITTLE HELP
CAUSE I`M NOT LIGHT UNTO MYSELF
WITHOUT A THING OF VALUE
WHY SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST
WE DON`T KNOW WHAT`S UP AHEAD
WE CAN`T LET OURSELVES FORGET

[CHORUS]

FOR THE THINGS THAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU
FROM THE WOMAN THAT YOU SEE INSIDE
DON`T LET IT WALK OUT THE DOOR
LOVE FOLLOWS EVERY TIME

[CHORUS]
