Don't ask me how, but guess who hit the big time.
Don't look now, but guess who's back in town.
It's so easy, don't even have to try.

It's a dream come true. We'll just wait and see.

Only the lucky ones get to steal the show.
Only the lucky ones really get to know.
Only the lucky, only the lucky onesget lucky.

Same old story some things never change.
With the beautiful girls everything's prearranged.
Your whole life, it comes to you free.
You wear it well, it comes so naturally.

It's a dream come true. Which one will it be?
It's a dream come true. We'll just wait and see.

Only the lucky ones get to steal the show.
Only the lucky ones really get to know.

5.Jump(live)

Lyricist:Bryan Adams/Mike Reno/Paul Dean/Jim Vallance/Matt Frenette
Writer(s):Bryan Adams/Mike Reno/Paul Dean/Jim Vallance/Matt Frenette

Was it your idea to meet like this
Sneakin, round with the lights down low?
It feels so good
I hope it doesn't fade away

But if they catch us here together this way
You know that we better think quick
Cause you bet your last buck
They'll be first to get the last lick

CHORUS: When I say jump
You better jump,jump,jump
When I say walk
(Well)You better get ready to say goodbye

Now you can't always get what you want when
You want it so you settle for second best
You need it so bad don't matter what price you pay
When you lay it on the line takin' chances like this
One slip could do the trick
Cause you bet your last buck
They'll be first to get the last lick

When I say jump
You better jump,jump,jump
When I say walk
(Well)You better get ready to say goodbye

And when I look at you now
Somehow it don't seem right
But it feels so good tonight

When I say jump
You better jump,jump,jump
When I say walk
(Well)You better get ready to say goodbye

When I say jump
You better jump,jump,jump
When I say walk
(Well)You better get ready to say goodbye

Lyricist:Paul Dean/Michael Reno/Jonathan Cain/Bill Wray
Writer(s):Paul Dean/Michael Reno/Jonathan Cain/Bill Wray

Ask any girl, in this lonely world
Ask any girl, she'll say make it last forever

I'm holding out my hand, I finally understand
So turn out the lights (oh yeah) we'll make it last forever.

BRIDGE:
I've been down the streets of desire
Sometimes I was so uninspired
You found what was locked up inside of me

CHORUS:
This could be the night, the night to remember
We'll make it last forever
This could be the night
Oh, to end all nights

I've always been the one
Lovin' on the run
That's when you came undone, oh girl
Why do you wait for me?


Out on the borderline, between the hurtin' lies
And the true emotions, that ,make it last forever

This could be the night, the night to remember
We'll make it last forever
This could be the night
Oh, to end all nights

SOLO

I've been down the streets of desire
Sometimes I was so uninspired
You found what was locked up inside of me

This could be the night, the night to remember
We'll make it last forever
This could be the night
Oh, to end all nights

This could be the night, the night to remember
We'll make it last forever
This could be the night
Oh, to end all nights

To end all nights.

Lyricist:Bryan Adams/James Vallance
Writer(s):Bryan Adams/James Vallance

You're doing it every night, you play with my emotions
Before we go on fighting let's get one thing straight
Is it going to be him or me--You know I need an answer
And now down to the wire and I just won't wait

There's something going on, I want to hear it from you
face-to-face
Ya--you know it won't be long, before you make your last mistake
Cause you're dangerous, you've got it coming to you
Dangerous--Now what am I going to do?
Dangerous--And I'm a lot like you

SOLO
We got to talk it out, there's three sides to every story
Well--ya, there's your side, there's my side and then there's
the truth
I want to hear it from you, ya say we're all the same
But I know you ain't no angel,
Cause who you gonna blame when you wake up
Beside a stranger
Dangerous--You got it coming to you
Dangerous--Now what am I going to do, Baby
Dangerous--And I'm a lot like you
I'm a lot like you

SOLO
There's something going on, I want to hear it from you
face-to-face
Ya--you know it won't be long, before you make your last mistake
Cause you're dangerous, you've got it coming to you
Dangerous--Now what am I going to do?

Johnson/Bill Wray
Writer(s):Davitt Sigerson/Mike Reno/Paul Dean/Ted Johnson/Doug
Johnson/Bill Wray

All day I've been banging the walls,
Like a prisoner in a cell
If I don't get out I'm going to lose my mind
There's got to be more for me--I'm tired of the same old scene
I can't wait to see that face--to say goodbye--bye, bye
I want to say goodbye
I got something inside of me
That I don't intend to waste, I've got dreams baby I can't
forget
I've been looking all around and there's nothing left for me
There's only one way out and girl I'm going to take it

CHORUS:
Push me, pull me, never get a minute to yourself
Pure hell, get you if you let it, stand up, sit down,
All I ever get is your backtalk, back off, push me to the limit
I lead a double life, I come alive at night
I had champagne milkshake for breakfast
But I know where I'll sleep tonight
I've got a blue-eyed earthquake--she's lyin' in my bed
Ain't it a wonderful life

CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS
I lead a double life, I come alive at night
I lead a double life, I come alive at night
I lead a double life, 007 I come alive at night
Rock and roll heaven, I lead a double life
I come alive at night, rock and roll heaven
I lead a double life, I come alive at night
I lead a double life, 007 I come alive at night


9.When It'S Over(live)

Lyricist:Mike Reno/Paul Dean
Writer(s):Mike Reno/Paul Dean

When you look into his eyes
comes to you as no surprise
it's always the same.

Every time he's out with you
he tries to tell you what to do
you don't need it that way.

Sometimes you think your playing the fool
he's runaround braking all the rules
some how that don't seem fair.

There's got to be a better way
you know what I'm trying to say

cause deep deep down inside
your living your life in total lie's

what did he ever do for you
whats he trying to put you through
i just don't understand.

you showed him love and tenderness
touched him with your sweet caress
now he's leaving you.

so whats the point in working it out
tell me what it's all about

that's why I'm saying

I hope your with me
I hope your with me
when it's over.

I hope your with me
I hope your with me
when it's over

you won't be lonely
you won't be lonely
when it's over

you won't be lonely you
when it's over

it's over
it's over
it's over

it's over
it's over
it's over

And in the morning when he's gone
please don't sing that sexy song.

I don't want to hear it.
forget about him let him go
it won't hurt what he don't know.

what's he trying to say to you
what's he trying to tell ya
he don't really care.

face the truth and realize
you don't need his alibi's.

No more.

I hope your with me
I hope your with me
when it's over

I hope your with me
I hope your with me
when it's over.

you won't be lonely
you won't be lonely
when it's over.

you won't be lonely you
when it's over.

it's over
it's over
it's over

it's over
it's over
it's over


10.Queen Of The Broken Hearts(live in Pittsburgh)

Lyricist:Mike Reno/Paul Dean
Writer(s):Mike Reno/Paul Dean

By Paul Dean and Mike Reno

Both sides are fightin'
You don't know who to choose
You're stuck in the middle
And you can't lose
Both sides are talkin'
You've finally seen the light
You'll get it together
But not tonight

You were born with it
And now you got it
The way you want it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down

You were born with it
And now you got it
And oooh you flaunt it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No...

But she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

She says she'll write you letters
But that ain't face to face
She'll give you a number
But it's not her place...oh
Don't keep her waiting
Now see what you have done
You look in the mirror
It ain't no fun

You were born with it
And now you got it
The way you want it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No...

You were born with it
And now you got it
And oooh you flaunt it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No...

But she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

Cause she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

Cause she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Lyricist:Mike Reno/Paul Dean
Writer(s):Mike Reno/Paul Dean

I was born to run,
I was born to dream,
The craziest boy you ever seen,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all,

And I was here to please,
I'm even on my knees,
Makin' love to whoever I please,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all,

And then you came around,
Tried to tie me down,
I was such a clown,
You had to have it your way,
Or no way at all,

But I've had all I can take,
I can't take it no more,
I'm gonna pack my bags and fly,
My way,
Or no way at all,

So why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose,
Turn me loose,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all,

Why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose,
Turn me loose,
I gotta do it my way,
I wanna fly,

I'm here to please,
I'm even on my knees,
Makin' love to whoever I please,
I gotta do it my way,
I gotta do it my way,

And when you came around,
You tried to tie me down,
I was such a clown,
You had to have it your way,
Well, I'm sayin', 'No way,'

So why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose,
Turn me loose,
I gotta do it my way,
Or no way at all,

14.The Kid Is Hot Tonight(live)

Lyricist:Paul Dean/Bernie Aubin
Writer(s):Paul Dean/Bernie Aubin

We just heard of a brand new wave
and we hope it's here to stay
We'll have to wait and see
if it's half of what they say

We heard he opened up a brand new door
well you know that's what I'm lookin' for
we'll have to wait and see if it makes you shout for more

How do you like him so far?
How do you like his show?
How do you like the way he rocks and the way he rolls?

How do you like his image?
How do you like his style?
How do you like the way he looks and the way he smiles?

CHORUS:
The Kid is hot tonight
whoa so hot tonight
but where will he be tomorrow?

The kid, is hot tonight
whoa so hot tonight
but where will he be tomorrow

And we just heard of a brand new fad
and they say it's gonna drive you mad
we'll have to wait and see if it's the best you ever had
and we just heard of a brand new wave
we heard it's headin' for an early grave
we'll have to wait and see if there's anything we can say

The Kid is hot tonight
whoa so hot tonight
but where will he be tomorrow?

The kid is hot tonight
whoa so hot tonight
but where will he be tomorrow
The kid is hot tonight
whoa so hot tonight
but where will he be, where will he be?
The kid is hot tonight
whoa so hot tonight
but where will he be tomorrow?
The kid is hot tonight, whoa
