1.She's Only Happy When She's Dancin'

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Monday mornin', it's time to get up,
Two cups of coffe and she runs for the bus,
Looks in the window and fixes her hair,
Nobody notices and nobody cares.
She admits it ain't no kinda life
Workin' nine to five, you know
CHORUS:
She's only happy when she's dancin'.
There ain't no place that she'd rather be,
when she's dancin',
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies.

When friday evenin' finally rolls around,
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown,
Goes to a place they call 'The Ball & Chain',
Nothin' matters until monday, so she goes insane.
Well, it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet,
But that's the way the story goes.
She's only happy when she's dancin'.
There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free,
when she's dancin',
The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see.
She ain't got much,
But she got independence.
Yeah, she's doin' alright.
His eyes were on her as the evening's endin',
But she ain't goin' for no mistery,
Because nobody rides for free.

CHORUS

Dancin'


2.It's Only Love

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

When the feelin' is ended,
There ain't no use pretendin',
Don't you worry, it's only love.
When your world has been shattered
And there ain't nothin' else matters,
It ain't over, it's only love.
And that's all, yeah.
When your heart has been broken
And hard words have been spoken,
It ain't easy, but it's only love.
And if your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in,
Just remeber that it's only love.
You can live without the aggravation,
You gotta wanna win, you gotta wanna win.
You keep lookin' back in desperation
Over and over and over again.
When your world is shattered
And nothin' else matters,
It ain't over, it's only love.
If your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in,
Just remember that it's only love.
Yeah, that's all.

It ain't easy, baby,
It's only love, and that's all.


3.Cuts Like A Knife

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Drivin' home this evenin',
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out.
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Then I heard it on the street,
I heard you mighta found somebody new.
Well, who is he, baby,
Who is he, and tell me what he means to you.
I took it all for granted, but how was I to know
That you would be lettin' go. Now it cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right.
It cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right.
There's times I've been mistaken,
There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood.
So wait a minute darlin',
Can't you see we did the best we could?
This wouldn't be the first time things have gone astray,
Now you've thrown it all away.


4.Kids Wanna Rock

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Turned on the radio,
Sounded like a disco,
Musta turned the dial
For a couple of miles,
But I couldn't find no rock'n'roll.
This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
London to L. A.
Talkin' 'bout the new wave.
For a couple of bucks
You get a weird haircut
and waster your life away,
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
Get me my D. J.,
I got somethin' he's gotta play,
Wanna hear it, I can't wait,
So turn it up, turn it up ...
Kick down the barricades,
Listen what the kids say.
From time to time
People change their minds,
But the music is here to stay.
I've seen it all from the bottom to the top,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.

Around the world or around the block,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.


5.Hearts On Fire

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Some other time, some other place,
We might not of been here standin' face to face.
I just wanna tell you, I made up my mind,
You know, I can't help the way I feel inside.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
Right from the start it's been burnin' for you.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
One thing, honey, this heart's true.

The streets are empty, the lights are down,
Ain't nothin' movin' this side of town,
So come on over, I ain't hard to please,
Oh baby, what you get ain't always what you need.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
It's gettin' hotter now, can't you see.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
From now on, baby, it's gonna be you and me.
Risin' to my feet
I can feel the heat,
It's tryin' to pull me under.
Runnin' through the night
We can make it right,
It's comin' on like thunder.

Some got it good, some got it bad,
But you're the best I ever had.
I never worry, you're so fine,
From now on, babe, I' m gonna be by your side.


6.Take Me Back

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

I shoulda seen it comin',
I shoulda seen the signs,
Didn't really think that she needs me,
I must've been blind.
She didn't give me a warning,
Said I shouldn't treat you wrong,
But when I woke up this morning,
She was gone, gone gone.

She said ...
Take me back, won't ya
Take me back, won't ya
I'll change my ways.
Take me back, won't ya
Take me back, won't ya
I'm not the same.
She didn't tell me about it,
Am I supposed to read your mind?
You make me get up and shout it,
It's a crime, crime, crime.
I shoulda seen it comin',
I shoulda seen the signs,
Didn't really think that she needs me,
I must've been blind.

Won't ya take me back.
Won't ya take me back.


7.The Best Was Yet To Come

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Just a small town girl in the city lights,
The best was yet to come,
Then lonely days turned in endless nights,
The best was yet to come.
How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one?
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come.

You can cry yourself to sleep at night,
But you can't change the things you've done,
You had it there, then it slipped away,
You left the song unsung.

Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone.
What's so good about good-bye
When the best was yet to come.
I find myself thinkin'about yesterday
When you were here and livin' in a dream,
In a moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake,
Like the settin' sun ...
You turn around, it's gone.
Just a small town girl who had it made
Or so the story goes.
She had it there, but it slipped away,
Oh, how was she to know.

Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone.
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come.
What's so good about good-bye
When the best was yet to come.


8.Heaven

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.
Now nothin' can take you away from me,
We've been down that road before, but that's over now,
You keep me comin' back for more.
CHORUS:
Baby, you're all that I want,
When you're lyin' there in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around,
Bring you up when you're feelin' down.
Yeah, nothin' can change what you mean to me,
Oh, there's lots that I could say,
But just hold me now, cause our love will light the way.
CHORUS

I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive,
For love to come along,
Now our dreams are comin' true.
Through the good times and the bad,
Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you.

You're all that I want,
You're all that I need ...


9.Heat Of The Night

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

I was caught in the crossfire
Of a silent dream.
One man's nightmare
Is another man's dream.
Pull the covers up high
And pray for the mornin' light
'Cause you're livin' alone
In the heat of the night.
Met a man with a message
From the other side,
Couldn't take the pressure,
Had to leave it behind.
He said it's up to you,
You can run or you can fight, (ya, that's right)
Better leave it alone
In the heat of the night.
In the heat of the night
They'll be comin' around,
They'll be lookin' for answers,
They'll be chasin' you down.
In the heat of the night.
(Where you're gonna hide when it all comes down,
Don't look back, don't ever turn around)
Had to pay the piper
To call the tune,
Said he'd be back someday,
Said he'd back real soon.
Pull the shades down low,
You'll know when the time is right.
When you're lyin' alone
In the heat of the night.


10.Run To You

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

She says her love for me
Could never die,
But that'd change
If she ever found out about you and I.
Oh, but her love is cold,
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
'Cause when it gets too much
I need to feel your touch.
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna run all night,
I'm gonna run to you.

She's got a heart of gold,
She'd let me down,
But you're the one that always turns me on,
You keep me comin' round.
I know her love is true,
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you
And I got my mind made up,
I need to feel your touch.
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna stay all night,
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
Yeah, I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna run all night,
I'm gonna run to you.


11.One Night Love Affair

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

You're the silent type
And you caught my eye,
But I never thought
That I'd be touchin' you.
How was I to know
I'd let my feelings go
And that I'd be yours
Before the night was through.

One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Pretendin' it ain't there,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.

When the mornin' breaks
We go our separate ways
If the night was made for love
It ain't for keeps.
But I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say I'm in this much too deep,
Now you're outa reach.
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Pretendin' we don't care,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.

One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Sometimes love ain't fair,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.


12.Long Gone

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

The telephone is ringin',
Ringin' off the wall,
It's your Las Vegas lawyer,
Another long distance call.
He says you get the house and the car
and I get the clothes I got on.
CHORUS:
Now she's gone,
Long, long, long, long gon.
Now I'm a happy boy.
She's long, long, long, long gone.

Operator, get me Manhattan,
Get my baby on the line.
Sooner or later
She's gotta realize
That all my feelings were for real,
But maybe she was leadin' me on.
CHORUS
She took the frigidaire,
She got my favourite chair,
You could sy she's got the best of me.
It's like a legal crime,
But in a matter of time
She'll be back for the rest of me.

But now she's gone,
Long, long, long, long gone.
Now give me peace of mind.
She's long, long, long, long gone.
Now I'm a happy boy...


13.Summer Of '69

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

I got my first real six-string,
Bought it at the five-and-dimes,
Played it till my fingers bled,
It was the summer of '69.
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard.
Jimmy quit and Jodie got married,
I shoulda know we'd never get far.

Oh, when I look back now, And if I had the choice,
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there,
Those were the best days of my life.

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do,
Spent my evening's down at the drive-in,
And that's where I met you.

Standin' at your mama's porch,
You told me that you'd wait forever,
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life.
Back in the summer of '69.
Man, we were killin' time,
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind.
I guess nothin' can last forever,
Forever, no.

And now the times are a-chanign',
Look at everything that's come and gone.
Every time I play that old six-string,
Think about you, wonder what went wrong.

Standin' by your mama's porch,
You told me it would last forever.
Oh, the way you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never.
Those were the best days of my life.

Back in the summer of '69.


14.Somebody

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

I been lookin' for someone
Through the fire and the flame.
We're all lookin' for someone
To ease the pain.
Now who can you turn to
When ist's all black and white
And the winners are losers,
You can see it every night.

CHORUS:
I need somebody,
Somebody like you.
Everybody needs somebody.
I need somebody,
Hey, what about you.
We all need somebody.

When you're out on the front line
And you're watchin' them fall,
It doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for.
I thought I saw the madonna
When you walked in the room
And your eyes were lide diamonds
And they cut right through,
Yeah, they cut right through.
CHORUS

Another night,
Another lesson learnt.
It's the distance that keeps us sane
When the silence leads to sorrow
Let's do it all again,
All again.

CHORUS (2x)


15.Walking After Midnight

Lyrics:Don Hecht/Alan Block
Music:Don Hecht/Alan Block

I go out walkin'
After midnight out in the moonlight
Just like we used to to do.
I'm always walkin' after midnight
Searchin' for you.
I walk for miles along the highway,
Well, that's just my way
Of sayin' 'I love you':
I'm always walkin' after midnight
Searchin' for you.

I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' in her pillow,
Maybe she's cryin' for me.
And as the sky turns gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be.
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight,
Just hopin' you may be
Out there walkin' after midnight
Searchin' for me.
I go out walkin'
After midnight out in the moonlight
Just like we used to to do.
I'm always walkin' after midnight
Searchin' for you.


16.I Fought The Law

Lyrics:Sonny Curtis
Music:Sonny Curtis

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun,
I fought the law and the law won.
I fought the law and the law won.
I needed money 'cause I had none,
I fought the law and the law won.
I fought the law and the law won.

I miss my baby and I feel so bad,
I guess my race is run.
She's the best girl I ever had,
I fought the law and the law won.
I fought the law and the law won.
Robbin' people with a six-gun,
I fought the law and the law won.
I fought the law and the law won.
I miss my baby and I feel so bad,
I guess my race is run.
She's the best girl I ever had,
I fought the law and the law won.
I fought the law and the law won.

I fought the law and the law won.
I fought the law and the law won.


17.Into The Fire(Acoustic Version)

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Life, thin as a thread,
Sometimes you're lucky,
Sometimes you're better-off dead.
Your first breath is taken
And into the world you are cast,
You long for tomorrow
Livin' each day as your last.
Well, I know
What your heart desires,
But you can't take it with you
Into the fire.

Now you've don all you can,
Your life's at the crossroads,
You watch as it slips thru your hands.
So you stand on the mountain
And shout in vain at the sky,
But nobody hears you,
The words only echo inside.

Oh, shelter the flame,
It may expire,
Risin' up from the ashes
Into the fire.
Just hold onto your life
Down to the wire,
Oh, out form the dragon's jaws
Into the fire.
There's a moment in every man's life
Whrer he must decide
What's wrong and what's right.
You could wait
For your dreams to come true,
But time has no mercy
Time won't stand still for you.

Well, I know
What your heart desires,
Crawlin' out from the wreckage
Into the fire.

Here I go ...
Into the fire.
I know ...
What your heart desires.
