Rev It Up!

Vixen Rev It Up! Lyrics
1.Hard 16

Lyricist:Janet Gardner, Sharon Pederson


Hard sixteen

Daddy didn't care, Mama wasn't there
Jenny slammed the door to her heart
Packed a suitcase of anger, no one tried to save her
She headed for the city that shines in the dark
But the lights fade away, when you're young on the streets
without a friend
Jenny learned to survive, put a price on the nights that never
end

She's hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much
She's hard sixteen, will soul run dry by seventeen?

The face of innocence doesn't stand a chance
Between the losers, the takers, the lost
So Jenny never cried, locked her pain inside
She's trapped in a time bomb, ready to blow
There will come a day when the mirror reveals a total stranger
Another lonely runaway in a living hell

She's turning hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen
too much
She's hard sixteen, will her soul run dry?

Jenny, please come home
(Please come home)
You've got so much to give, so much life to live, so come home

She's hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much
She's hard sixteen, will her soul run dry?, Sixteen

Hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much
Hard sixteen, will her soul run dry?
Hard sixteen, her Daddy didn't care, her Mama wasn't there
Hard sixteen, will her soul run dry?
Hard sixteen, soft to the touch, but she's seen too much
Hard sixteen, will her soul run dry by seventeen?


2.How Much Love

Lyricist:Jack Conrad, Jan Kuehnemund, Steve Plunkett

You're in the corner turnin' your back
You're runnin' away again
The more I give you the less that you take
Tell me, where is it gonna end?

Whoa oh, I can see you've felt some pain
Whoa oh, I know you've been hurt before
Whoa oh, but I swear you won't get hurt no more tell me

How much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache?
Till you begin to let your heart give in
How much love is it gonna take?

I'm reachin' for you, gettin' so close
But you're always a step away
I wanna touch you and give you my love
What is it gonna take?

Whoa oh, I can see it in your eyes
Whoa oh, that you want to let me in
Whoa oh, but you're scared that you'll get hurt again tell me

How much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache?
Till you begin to let your heart give in
How much love is it gonna take?

I've been searchin' for an answer
Ooo, tell me what it's gonna be?


How much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache?
Till you begin to let your heart give in
How much love?

How much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache?
Till you begin to let your heart give in
How much love, tell me how much love?

How much love is it gonna take
To prove I'm not another heartache?
How much love?
Is it gonna take, is it gonna take
How much love?

I can see it in your eyes
Come on let me in
Come on let me in
Yeah! Yeah!


3.Love Is A Killer

Lyricist:Harry Paress, Roxy Petrucci

Only a fool believes it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
So I don't wanna take that fall
It's a long, long, long way down

I'm hurt, love struck me down again, enticed me in and pulled
the pin
Blew my tender heart sky high
Now in my pain I'm askin', 'Why?' as I'm cryin'
Should I give it my last try or say goodbye?

Love is a killer, a homicidal fiend
Love is a killer, it'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer, it's killin' me

Love, so sweetly beckonin' I've seen your face
Called your name I tasted tears you cried
Lived in shadows in my mind, frozen here in time
Don't leave me here to die

Love is a killer, a homicidal fiend
Love is a killer, it'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer, it's killin' me

You fascinate and yet frustrate, demand so much of me, yeah
I've had enough, it's tearin' me up inside
Cross my heart, hope to survive
You got a smokin' gun, well don't shoot me love, no, woh

You're a killer, a homicidal fiend
Love is a killer, it'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer

Love is a killer, no, love is a killer, no, no
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer
It's killin' me, aah


4.Rev It Up

Lyricist:Steve Diamond, Janet Gardner, Ron Keel, Share Pedersen

We were just startin' out on a dream
Young enough to believe everyone was on our side
And no one would deceive
But sometimes the truth gets served on a knife
You gotta stand up and fight
We turned to each other and kicked it in gear
To earn a rock 'n' roll right
In a world full of heartache, jealousy wears a friendly face
We can't hold on, you can't keep a fast car out of the race

Give it all you got, rev it up, rev it up
Push it to the top, rev it up, rev it up
If anyone tries to hold you back
Don't let 'em run you off the track
Give it all you got, rev it up

Burnin' with the hope of the innocent
Ready to own tomorrow
We were gonna set the nights on fire
But doubt pierced like an arrow
When no one's in your corner
Dig down deep and you'll find your pride
Floor it all the way, what's behind the wheel can't be denied

Give it all you got, rev it up, rev it up
Push it to the top, rev it up, rev it up
If anyone tries to hold you back
Don't let 'em run you off the track
Give it all you got, rev it up

Every fighter takes a fall but don't give up tryin'
Sometimes you fly, sometimes you crawl
One step at a time

Hold on tighter when the ride gets a little rough
Don't give in, don't give up
Give it all you got, rev it up, rev it up
Push it to the top, rev it up, rev it up
If anyone tries to hold you back
Don't let 'em run you off the track
Give it all you got, rev it up
Rev it up, rev it up

Give it all, rev it up
Rev it up


5.Bad Reputation

Lyricist:Jan Gardner, Janet Kuehnemund, Brian Miku

You're always on the edge, but you can never find a thrill
Fame and fortune's left you hungry still
You win young innocence with sly seduction
Indulgence paves the road to your destruction

What do you believe in?
(What do you believe?)
And why do they believe in you?

You got a bad reputation, you're a wild sensation
Your ego's on the front line and your pride's on stage
You got a bad reputation with no hesitation
Will you take the young ones with you on your way down to the
grave?

You're walkin' a thin line, but you take no advice
You got all the answers, you don't need no compromise
You sure convinced us all that you're a world class sinner
You're runnin' in a race, where there's never any winners

What do you believe in?
(What do you believe?)
And what do people see in you?

You got a bad reputation, you're a wild sensation
Your ego's on the front line and your pride's on stage
You got a bad reputation with no hesitation
Will you take the young ones with you on your way down to the
grave?

Ain't nothin' new about what you're going through, no
It's the same old theme, of the bad boy scene
(You're in control)
You're in control, but your hands aren't on the wheel
I bet we'll see you at the crossroads tryin' to make a deal
But that ain't no deal, it's a long way down

Yeah, you got a bad reputation, you're a wild sensation
Your ego's on the front line and your pride's on stage
You got a bad reputation with no hesitation
Will you take the young ones with you on your way down to the
grave?

Bad reputation, you're a wild sensation
Your ego's on the front line and your pride's on stage
You got a bad reputation, you got no hesitation
Will you take the young ones with you on your way down to the
grave?
(Bad reputation, wild sensation)

Ba-ba-ba-ba-bad reputation
You got a bad reputation, you're a wild sensation
Ego's on the front line and your pride's on stage
You got a bad reputation, you're a wild sensation


6.Fallen Hero

Lyricist:Ralph Carter, Jan Kuehnemund, Roxy Petrucci

They called him crazy on the streets
Young and angry, one bad seed
He wore the colors of his call
He'd be the baddest of them all
Shoot out came down in a police raid
By a Smith and Wesson thirty eight
At seventeen he met his fate

Fallen hero
What were you trying to prove?
Fallen hero
All you got was front page news
It's too late, tough break, read your epitaph
Fallen hero
How many others will follow in your path?

He had a lady, she cries alone
It would come to this, she's always known
She remembers how he used to say
'There ain't no future anyway'
Sirens echo in the night
Now his name is the battle cry
Of another boy who lives to die

Fallen hero
What were you trying to prove?
Fallen hero
All you got was front page news
It's too late tough break read your epitaph
Fallen hero
How many others will follow in your path?

And so the story lives on, of how his glory was won
And no lesson ever learned, of the tragedies to come
Yeah yea yea yea

Sirens echo in the night
Now his name is the battle cry
Of another boy who lives to die

Fallen hero
What were you trying to prove?
Fallen hero
All you got was front page news
It's too late, tough break read your epitaph
Fallen hero
How many others will follow?
Yeah yea

Fallen hero
What were you trying to prove?
Fallen hero
All you got was front page news
It's too late, tough break read your epitaph
Fallen hero
How many others

Fallen hero
Come and see now
Fallen hero
All you got was front page news
Fallen hero
How could she know
Fallen hero
Stay down someday
Fallen hero
Fallen hero
Fallen hero


7.It Wouldn't Be Love

Lyricist:Diane Warren

It would be so easy, it would be so nice
If we could solve all our problems, solve 'em overnight
Everything would be so good, if everything went right
Oh baby you're just living in a fairy tale world
Thinkin' that love don't take a lot of work
You think it's all rainbows and not any rain, but it doesn't
work that way

It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt a little now, baby
And it wouldn't be love, if you didn't have to cry sometimes
I know sometimes it ain't easy and sometimes it gets rough
But if it was any different baby, then it wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love

So you just wanna walk out when the times get tough
If all you'll take are the good times, that's not good enough
Maybe you should come back yea, when you're all grown up
Oh baby, you're just living in a fairy tale world
Thinkin' that love don't take a lot of work
You think it's all rainbows and not any rain, gotta be some
rainy days

It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt a little now, baby
And it wouldn't be love, if you didn't have to cry sometimes
I know sometimes it ain't easy and sometimes it gets rough
But if it was any different baby, then it wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love

Baby, you're just living in a fairy tale world
Thinkin' that love don't take a lot of work
If you think it's all rainbows and not any rain
It doesn't work that way

It's a fight sometimes
It would be so easy, it would be so nice
If we could solve our problems
Solve them overnight, but

It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt a little now, baby
And it wouldn't be love, if you didn't have to cry sometimes
I know sometimes it ain't easy and sometimes it gets rough
But if it was any different baby, then it wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love

It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt a little now, baby
And it wouldn't be love, if you didn't have to cry sometimes
I know sometimes it ain't easy and sometimes it gets rough
But if it was any different baby, then it wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love, It wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love, It wouldn't be love
No no no no no


8.Not A Minute Too Soon

Lyricist:Janet Gardner, Sharon Pedersen

I was pretendin' it was easy alone
I built a fortress to keep out the unknown
Surrounded myself with walls of rejection
Trapped in the dungeon for my protection

Your smile came shinin' through
So pure I knew

Not a minute too soon, your love came through for me
You are the water in my desert
Not a minute too soon, your love got through to me
You rescued me just in the nick of time

Time after time I threw my heart away
My faith was fading fast day after day
I had enough of givin' in
I couldn't lay down my pride so love just pushed me aside

Your kisses washed away my thirst
Every touch felt like the first

Not a minute too soon, your love came through for me
You are the water in my desert
Not a minute too soon, your love got through to me
You rescued me just in the nick of time

In this angry world, I thought loneliness would shelter me
My broken spirit cried in vain, till you set me free

Your kisses washed away my thirst
Every touch feels just like the first

Not a minute too soon, your love came through for me
You are the water in my desert
Not a minute too soon, your love got through to me
You rescued me just in the nick of time

Not a minute too soon, your love came through for me
You are the water, yeah you are the water
Not a minute too soon, your love got through to me
You rescued me just in the nick of time

And not a minute too soon
You are the water in my desert
You know your love came through for me
Your love got through to me
I've rescued oh rock me, roll me
I wanna be the one


9.Only a Heart Beat Away

Lyricist:Janet Gardner, Sharon Pedersen

The scene is set, we play the parts
Boy meets girl, better shelter our hearts
We trace the steps
That a thousand lovers have danced before

Without a sound, we're face to face
And every breath is suspended in space
Every moment we're together
Just leaves us wanting more

Holding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow
We both know something's got to give
Gotta make it soul to soul
So come a little closer

We're only a heart beat away
From laying it all on the line
We're only a heart beat away
It's just a matter of time
So tell me that you need me
An' I'll come runnin', baby can't you see
We're only a heart beat away, yeah

It's in the air, it's in our eyes
Burning through every cool disguise
And pretending that we don't care
Pushes us closer to each other's fire

It's too late to break the spell that encircles us
The chains of destiny are strong
Stronger than both of us
Come on, let's surrender

We're only a heart beat away
From laying it all on the line
We're only a heart beat away
It's just a matter of time
So tell me that you need me
An' I'll come runnin', baby can't you see
We're only a heart beat away

Been too scared of taking a fall
Just a heart beat away from giving our all
It's only love, only love

Holding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow
We both know something's got to give
Gotta make it soul to soul
Come on, let's surrender

We're only a heart beat away
So come on, you closer
We're only a heart beat away
Yeah yeah
Tell me that you need me
An' I'm comin', baby can't you see

We're only a heart beat away
Believe it I'm not lying
We're only a heart beat away
And it's just a matter of time
Oh, baby tell me that you need me
An' I'll come runnin', baby can't you see

We're only a heart beat away
Believe it I'm not lying
We're only a heart beat away
Yeah


10.Streets In Paradise

Lyricist:Jack Conrad, Jan Kuehnemund, Steve Plunkett

Pretty people, pretty cars, livin' in the lap of luxury
But this precious fantasy
Seems so close when it's so far from me, yea yeah

Tell me, where to get in line
Show me, how to change my luck this time

People turn their backs on you
On the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few
It's hot as Hell and cold as ice
Every day's another fight
Livin' on the streets in paradise, c'mon

All that glitters isn't gold, promises and dreams can get so old
I know, what this game's about
People chew you up and spit you out, yeah yeah

I need some kind of a sign
Can't seem to get into this dream of mine

People turn their backs on you
On the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few
It's hot as Hell and cold as ice
Every day's another fight
Livin' on the streets in paradise, oh no no

There aint no sacrifice that I won't make, I'll pay the price
Oh no, I won't think twice, nothing comes cheap in paradise

Tell me where to get in line
I can't seem to get into this dream of mine

People turn their backs on you
On the streets in paradise
When you're not the chosen few
It's hot as Hell and cold as ice
Every day's another fight
Livin' on the streets in paradise

People turn their backs on you
When you're not the chosen few
It's hot as Hell and cold as ice
Every day's another fight
Livin' on the streets in paradise

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

11.Wrecking Ball

Lyricist:Janet Gardner, Sharon Pedersen

You don't need a special invitation
To come to the blow out party of a nation
The big one's been set up for tonight
Wreak a little havoc till the place is a sight
No more reason to be pleasin'
Rocket blast, rock it down, rock on ten
Tomorrow might never come again

(Let's have a wrecking ball)
Really tear it up
(Let's have a wrecking ball)
A little rough and tough
This is it
(Last call)
Let's raise hell until the walls fall
Let's have a wrecking ball

Abandon all morality, anything goes
Got nothin' to lose but your sanity
The finger's on the button, this is your last ride
It's an E ticket with the devil by your side
Missiles burning, sky is turning
Grab it up, rip it hard, take a bite
You might not see the morning light

(Let's have a wrecking ball)
Really tear it up
(Let's have a wrecking ball)
A little rough and tough
This is it
(Last call)
Let's raise hell until the walls fall
Let's have a wrecking ball

(Let's have a wrecking ball)
Really tear it up
(Let's have a wrecking ball)
A little rough and tough
This is it
(Last call)
Let's raise hell until the walls fall
Let's have a wrecking ball

(Let's have a wrecking ball)
Really tear it up
(Let's have a wrecking ball)
A little rough and tough
This is it
(Last call)
Let's raise hell until the walls fall
Let's have a wrecking ball

(Let's have a wrecking ball)
Really tear it up
(Let's have a wrecking ball)
A little rough and tough
This is it
(Last call)
Let's raise hell until the walls fall
Let's have a wrecking ball

(Let's have a wrecking ball)
Really tear it up go
A little rough and tough
This is it
(Last call)
Let's raise hell until the walls fall
