1.She Works Hard For The Money

Lyrics:D.Summer/M.Omartian
Music:D.Summer/M.Omartian

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

Onetta there in the corner stand
and wonders where she is and
it's strange to her
some people seem to have everything

Nine a.m. on the hour hand
and she's waiting for the bell
and she's looking real pretty
just wait for her clientele

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

Twenty five years have
come and gone
and she' seen a lot of tears
of the ones who come in
they really seem to need her there

It's a sacrifice working day to day
for little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
just to hear them say that they care

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She already knows
she's seen her bad times
she already knows
these are the good times

She'll never sell out
she never will
not for a dollar bill
she works hard

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right


2.Bad Girls

Written:D.Summer/E.Hokenson/B.Sudano/J.Esposito

Toot toot hey beep beep

Bad girls
talking about the sad girls
sad girls
talking about the bad girls, yeah

See them out on the street at night, walkin'
picking up on all kinds of strangers
if the price is right, you can score
if you're pocket's nice
but you want a good time
you ask yourself, who they are?
like everybody else, they come from near and far

Bad girls
talking about the sad girls
sad girls
talking about the bad girls, yeah

Friday night and the strip is hot
sun's gone down and they're about to trot
spirit's high and they look hot
do you wanna get down
now don't you ask yourself, who they are?
like everybody else, they wanna be a star

Bad girls
talking about the sad girls
bad girls

Hey, hey mister
got a dime?

Toot toot hey beep


3.On The Radio

Lyrics:G.Moroder/D.Summer
Music:G.Moroder/D.Summer

Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio
and they told the world just how you felt
it must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
they never said your name
but I knew just who they meant.

Oh, I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered too
if by change you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling about you
but they said it really loud
they said it on the air
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh now, now

Don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our song
things are not the same since we broke up last June
the only thing that I wanna hear is that you love me still
and that you think you'll be comin' home real soon
whoa oh yeah yeah
and it made me feel proud when I heard you say
you couldn't find the words to say it yourself
and now in my heart I know I can say what I really feel
'cause they said it really loud
they said it on the air
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio

If you think that love isn't found on the radio
well tune right in you made find the love you lost
'cause now I'm sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
it sounded really loud they said it really loud
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio, radio, radio (fade)


4.Stop, Look And Listen

Written:D.Summer/M.Omartian/G.Phillinganes

I was walking down the street
just the other day
I caught a glimpse
of life vivid reality
I saw a man on the street
had no clothes or shoes
these are signs of the times
that's what they say

Everybody better
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
to your heart

The prophets of the times
are written on street car walls
can't you see them crying
can't you hear them call

Mother mother children still
got to grow
father father where do we go

Stop look and listen
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
to your heart

Space age assures us life will
go on
and everybody trying to believe
forget the future
think about right now

Somehow seem to be growing
theme
prophets of the times
are written on street car walls
can't you see them crying
can't you hear them calling
mother mother children still have
to grow
father father where do we go

Stop look and listen
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
to your heart

Space age assures us life will
go on
everybody trying to believe
forget the future
think about right now

Everybody better
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
to your heart

Forget the future
think about right now

Everybody better
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
to your heart

Everybody better
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
to your heart

Everybody better
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
stop look and listen
to your heart

6.MacArthur Park

Lyrics:J.L.Webb
Music:J.L.Webb

Spring was never waiting for us till
it ran one step ahead
as we followed in the dance.

Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark
all the sweet, green icing flowing down
someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
foaming like a wave
on the ground beneath your knees
birds like tender babies in your hands
and the old men playing
chinese checkers
by the trees

Mac Arthut Park's is melting in the dark
all the sweet, green icing flowing down
someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo!

Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark
all the sweet green icing flowing down
someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo!


7.Heaven Knows

Written:D.Summer/G.Moroder/P.Bellotte

Baby please,
baby please don't take your love from me
I am yours forever more,
'till eternity
silently please, listen to the words I say well
I'm not talking just for play, listen to me please

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave

Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
heaven knows
I only wanna please you
don't you know
love is what I need

Down inside,
don't get caught with foolish pride
put all the other things aside,
there's only you and me
believe in us,
we were always meant to be
me for you and you for me,
'till eternity

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave

Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
heaven knows
I only wanna please you
don't you know
love is what I need

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave


8.Unconditional Love

Lyrics:D.Summer/M.Omartian
Music:D.Summer/M.Omartian

What a man
you know it's a bright and shiny day
I want to say something to you
I love you just like Ja do

We know a place
where Ja's people can run free
a new kind of love
and we call it agape

Don't take too long to find
true love transcends all time
that non-reacting, everlasting love

Give me your unconditional love
the kind of love I deserve
the kind I want to return

Give me your unconditional love
the kind of love I deserve
the kind I want to return

Don't try to change or tear your
brother down
let him make his mistakes
and he will come around
hasten just to pray and Ja's true
word obey
in non-reacting, everlasting love

Give me your unconditional love
the kind of love I deserve
the kind I want to return

Give me your unconditional love
the kind of love I deserve
the kind I want to return

Give me your unconditional love
my torn heart to discern
this agape love to learn

Give me your unconditional love
my torn heart to discern
this agape love to learn

Hasten just pray and Ja's true
word obey
in non-reacting, everlasting love

Give me your unconditional love
the kind of love I deserve
the kind I want to return
Give me your unconditional love
the kind of love I deserve
the kind I want to return
Give me your unconditional love
my torn heart to discern
this agape love to learn
Give me your unconditional love
my torn heart to discern
this agape love to learn
Give me your unconditional love
my torn heart to discern
this agape love to learn


9.I Love You

Written:D.Summer/G.Moroder/P.Bellotte

Well he searched and searched for nights and days
till he found the one he loved
and he wrapped her in his arms again
and then he thanked the stars above
that he found what he'd been looking for
and he stared her in the eyes

He said 'I love you'
he said 'I love you'
love you, love you

She stared him right back in the eyes
with a look of disbelief
then she gazed off into somewhere else
was it real or just a dream?
and she pulled him, oh so close to her
and she whispered in his ear

She said 'I love you'
she said 'I love you too'
love you, love you, love you

So together they will always be
until the stars fall from the sky

They said 'I love you'
yes, I really do
they said 'I love you'
yes, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do

So together they will always be
until the stars fall from the sky
so if you find someone you love a lot
you must never let them go
you just hold them tight with all your might
and you say three little words

You say 'I love you'
you say 'I love you'
you say 'I love you'
you say 'I love you'


10.No More Tears(Enough Is Enough)

Lyrics:P.Jabara/B.Roberts
Music:P.Jabara/B.Roberts

It's raining, it's pouring
my lovelife is boring me to tears,
after all these years

No sunshine, no moonlight,
no stardust, no sign of romance
we don't stand a chance

I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover
but he turned out to be like every other man
our love, our love

Raining (raining)
pouring (pouring)
there's nothing left for us here
and we won't waist another tear

If you've had enough,
don't put up with his stuff,
don't you do it
If you've had your fill,
get the check pay the bill,
you can do it

Tell him to just get out
nothing left to talk about
pack his raincoat show him out
just look him in the eyes and simple shout

Enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on, no more no
enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now

I've always dreamed to find the perfect lover,
but he turns out to be like every other man
our love (I had no choice from the start)
our love (I've gotta listen to my heart)
our love (tearing us apart)

Enough, is enough, is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
enough, is enough, is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now

Goodbye mister, goodbye,
goodbye mister, goodbye sugar

No more tears
no more tears
no more tears
I've had it, you've had it, he's had it, we've had it
enough is enough is enough is enough

is enough is enough is enough is enough
is enough is enough is enough is ENOUGH!!!
