2.Hotblooded

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle/Marie Fredriksson

You know I'm hotblooded, baby...

Get on up and kick it all the systems are ready to go.
Well, are you ready or not? Hey, I gotta know!
Baby, lay down the blues and let those guitars bleed.
I'm everything you wanted,
I'm all you ever need.

Cos I'm hotblooded,
hotblooded,
I need your lovin',
I need your love so bad.

Flash all the lights,
I'll be a camera tonight.
I'll snap the look on your face
when I'm squeezing you tight.
Yea, sisters o' soul,
we gotta burn this old house down.
Keep on beatin' those drums,
keep on pumpin' up that sound,
yea yea yea yea yea.

Hotblooded,
I'm hotblooded,
I need your lovin',
I need your love so bad.

I'm hotblooded,
hotblooded,
you gotta know it,
I need a shot of love so bad.

I stay up late
where the night's alive.
No sleep at all
I work nine to five.
It's honey do that
and honey do this:
'can I call you home?'
'can I call you home?'
'can I call?' - you can call me miss...
Ah you can call me miss.

Oh baby don't you know that I'm hotblooded?,
hotblooded,
I need your lovin',
I need your love so bad.

Hotblooded,
I'm hotblooded,
you gotta know it,
I need a shot of love so bad.

I'm hotblooded,
hotblooded,
I need your lovin',
I need a little love so bad.

Hotblooded,
I'm hotblooded,
I need your lovin',
I need your love so bad.


3.Dangerous

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

You pack your bag.
You take control.
You're moving into my heart
and into my soul.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I won't be walking on thin
ice to get through the night.

Hey, where's your work?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous.

You turn around,
so hot and dry.
You're hiding under a halo,
your mouth is alive.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight.

Hey, what's your word?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight...


4.The Big L.

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

She's the top, she's got the world on a string.
She makes me boogie, makes me do anything yea yea.
Hey now, touch the sky,
you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes.
Well, she's a miracle, she's all that I need
like the water and the air that I breathe yea yea.
Hey now, reach the sky,
there's a certain kind of look in your smile.
And I know what love can do,
yes I know what hearts can do.

The big love is taking the wheel,
the big love goes head over heels,
the big lust, bring it into a small world,
the bigger, the better.
Big love, waiting to catch the big one,
head over heels,
the big one, bring it into the small world.
I'm building the big big love,
I'm building the big big love.

It's kinda strange, a bit mysterious,
I got to take it oh so so serious.
Hey now, touch the sky,
you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes.
It used to be so hard, so lonely at night,
well, she's my baby and I'm feeling alright.
Hey now, move the sky,
there's a certain kind of look in that smile.
When I'm making love with her,
when I'm making love to her yea.

The big love is taking the wheel,
the big love goes head over heels,
the big lust, bring it into a small world,
the bigger, the better.
Big love, waiting to catch the big one,
head over heels,
the big one, bring it into the small world.
I'm building the big big love,
I'm building the big big love.

It has to be a big thing.
It's bringing me to my knees.
Has to be a big thing, big thing,
ya know what I'm saying...


5.Watercolours In The Rain

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Marie Fredriksson

Going through the motions.
Ending up nowhere at all.
Can't see the sun on my wall.
Going through emotions.
Ending up on a frozen morning
with a heart not even broken.

Seems I've been running
all my life all my life.
Seems I've been running
all my life all my life
like watercolours in the rain.

Find a place to settle down.
Get a job in a city nearby
and watch the trains roll on by.
I'll find the falling star.
I'll fall in love with the eyes of a dreamer
and a dream worth believing.

Seems I've been running
all my life all my life.
Seems I've been running
all my life all my life
like watercolours in the rain.


6.Church of Your Heart

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Can't we leave the world outside
just for a while?
Just for a while?
And spend some time, you and I,
under this bright glorious sky.
It's been so long since I first saw you,
but I still love that smile in your eyes.

Yes it's true, right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart.

Step inside, lay yourself down
just for a while,
rest for a while.
I can hear a thundering sound
beating inside when you're around.
It's been so long since I first met you,
since we made love, you know how time flies.

Yes it's true, right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart
In the church of your heart.

Yes it's true, right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart

Pretty baby, it's true right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart
In the church of your heart.


7.Knockin' on Every Door

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Hey now honey,
you got to face the floor,
you headed for the heart
but you couldn't find the door,
could you? Could you?

Well, I'm standing in the sun
but I'm living in the rain,
I got to get a-whirlin'
like a human hurricane
over you, over you.

Now you're looking like a fox on the run.
And you're faster than a shot from a gun.
I'm pointing at you,
oh you.
I'm talking 'bout you,
hey you.

I thought we had love in store
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Babe, I've seen it all before
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Ain't no lovin' you ignore
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Keep keep knock knockin' on every door
you keep on knockin' on every door.

Hey now honey,
time is all you've spent.
You moved into the bed
but you couldn't pay the rent.
Could you?

In the twinkle of an eye
you electrify.
I got to get a-shootin'
like a rocket in the sky,
bye bye,
goodbye.

Now you're burning like you're hot on the scene.
Don't you love to steal a part of my dream?
I'm looking at you,
oh you.
I'm talking 'bout you,
yea you.

I thought we had love in store
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Babe, I've seen it all before
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Ain't no sugar you ignore
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Keep keep knock knockin' on every door.

I thought we had love in store
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Babe, I've seen it all before
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Ain't no sugar you ignore
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Keep keep knock knockin' on every door.

I thought we used to have love in store
you keep knock knockin' on every door.
Hey babe, don't run around here no more
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Ain't no sugar you ignore
you keep on knockin' on every door.
Keep keep knock knockin' on every door
you keep on knockin' on every door.

You'd better learn your lesson now...

Keep, keep...


8.Things Will Never be the Same

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Lay it down, pull my heart to the ground,
time's getting cold now the leaves all turn hard and blue.
And I know when I gaze to the sun, no place to hide,
I got nowhere to run from you, away from you.

Hold me now, girl, I don't know when,
when we will ever meet again.
That was then, baby, this is now,
I try to get over you.

Losing you...
Things will never be the same.
Can you hear me call your name?
If we changed it back again
things would never be...

In your hand, babe, I don't understand,
you've got the eyes of a child
but you hurt like a man always do, always do.

Touch me now, girl, I don't know when,
when we will ever meet again.
That was then, baby, this is now,
time won't get over you.


9.Dressed for Success

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Tried to make it little by little,
tried to make it bit by bit on my own.
Quit the job, the grey believers,
another town where I get close to the bone.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

I'm gonna get dressed for success
shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love yea yea yea.

I'm not afraid, a trembling flower,
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
and in the dark things happen faster.
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

I'm gonna get dressed for success,
hitting a spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love.

Look sharp!


10.Soul Deep

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint,
My baby's coming back.
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea baby's coming back.
Hey hey hey, ain't gonna trouble his wandering mind,
Gonna take on the time to find out if my love is

Soul deep -
Spinning the heart round a wire.
Soul deep -
A heavenly wave.
Soul deep -
Heating the heart like a fire,
Soul deep is taking my breath away-ay-ay.

Save a tear till the curtain will fall,
Well I'm saving them all for you.
Knock on wood,
Is it understood that I'm saving it up for you.
Hey hey hey,
Love is a hustle just a moment behind,
Gonna walk on the line to find out if my love is

Soul deep...
Save a prayer for a sinner and a saint,
My baby's coming back.
Say a prayer, hide hide away yea yea baby's coming back.
Hey hey hey ride on the soul train now I'm too close to hide,
Gonna take on the time to find out if my love is soul deep...


11.The Look

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

1-2-3-4 walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop,
she's got the look.

Heavenly bound
cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around,
kissing is a colour.
Her loving is a wild dog,
She's got the look.

She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you and I go:
la la la la la
she's got the look.

Fire in the ice
naked to the t-bone
is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull,
she's got the look.

Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer
she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
kissing is the wet sand,
she's got the look.

And she goes: na na na na na na na na.


12.It Must Have Been Love

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,
there's air of silence in the bedroom
and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been love but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.

From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your
palm.
And it's a hard winters day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It's all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.


13.Do You Get Excited?

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle/Mats Persson

When the day gets dark
over a thousand streets
and you feel your heart
is a living beat.
When you're all alone
and you close your eyes,
naked to the bone
the dream comes alive.

Do you get excited
when I touch you in the night?
My oh my...
Do you get excited
when I meet you every night?
You won't let the night pass you by.

Three, four?
When your body's hot,
the window's open wide.
This moment's all you got
in this race of life.
When you feel the fire
is getting close to you,
hey baby, you know
I'm lonely too.

Do you get excited
when I touch you in the night?
My oh my...
Do you get excited
when I meet you every night?
You won't let the night pass you by.

Do you get excited
when I touch you in the night?
My oh my...
Do you get excited, excited
when I meet you every night?
My oh my...

Do you get exicited,
when I touch you in the night?
My oh my...
Do you get excited,
when I meet you every night?
You won't let the night pass you by.

Ooh! I wanna know.
I gotta know.
I wanna know.


14.Joyride

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

I hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump in my car
and be a rider in a love game,
following the stars.
Don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all.
She has a train going downtown,
she's got a club on the moon
and she's telling all her secrets
in a wonderful balloon.
Oh, she's the heart of the funfair,
she's got me whistling her private tune.

And it all begins where it ends
and she's all mine, my magic friend.

She says: Hello, you fool I love you.
C'mon join the joyride.
Join the joyride.

She's a flower, I can paint her.
She's a child of the sun.
We're part of this together,
could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
to know where my lucky love belongs, oh no

Cos it all begins where it ends
and we're all magic friends.

She says: Hello, you fool I love you.
C'mon join the joyride.
Join the joynride.

Be a joyrider.

I take you on a skyride,
a feeling like you're spellbound.
the sunshine is a lady,
who ROX you like a baby.


15.Perfect Day

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle/Mats Persson

Breathe some faith
into my chest.
Lay me down,
I need the rest.
Ever since
the sky turned grey
I've waited for
the perfect day.

Hey now -
it seems you've always
touched me like the sun.

There's no escape
for the broken-hearted,
there's no return
once you've lost your way.
I say a prayer
now our love's departed
that you'll come back to stay
and bring the perfect day.

Blinded by
a crazy light
I fell into
the darkest night.
Those magic ties,
the two of us,
I couldn't see
it turn to dust.

Hey now -
it seems you've always
reached me like the sun.

There's no escape
for the broken-hearted,
there's no return
once you've lost your way.
I say a prayer
now your love's departed
that you'll come back to stay.
Bring back the perfect day.

Hey now -
it seems you've always
reached me like the sun.

There's no escape
for the broken-hearted,
there's no return
once you've lost your way.
I say a prayer
now your love's departed
that you'll come back to stay.
Bring back the perfect day.

'Closing time, closing time, folks.
Thank you very much for coming.'


16.How Do You Do!

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin.
It's making me spin now, spinnin' within.
Before I melt like snow, I say hello
How do you do!
I love the way you undress now, Baby begin.
Do you caress, honey, my heart's in a mess.
I love your blue-eyed voice,
like Tiny Tim shines thru.
How do you do!

Well here we are crackin' jokes in the corner of our mouths
and I feel like I'm laughing in a dream.
If I was young I could wait outside your school,
cos your face is like the cover of a magazine.

How do you do, do you do,
the things that you do.
No one I know could ever keep up with you.
How do you do! Did it ever make sense to you
to say Bye Bye Bye?

I see you in that chair with perfect skin.
Well how have you been, baby,
livin' in sin?
Hey I gona know, did you say hello
How do you do?

Well, here we are, spending time in the louder part of town
and I feel like everything's surreal.
When I get old I will wait outside your house
cos your hands have got the power meant to heal.

How do you do, do you do,
the things that you do.
No one I know could ever keep up with you.
How do you do! Did it ever make sense to you
to say Bye Bye Bye?
