Ooh Yeah

Hall&Oates Ooh Yeah Lyrics
1.Downtown Life

Music:daryl hall, john oates, rick iontosca
Lyrics:daryl hall, john oates, sara allen

Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene & work it brother
Moving thru sound
City's like wild life
Overgrown & living undercover
Wound up so tight

We love the downtown life
Driftin' thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life. it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Velvet lou was a neighbor of mine
Now he walks the dog in jersey, brother
Yuppies in black doin' white collar crime
Scared away the. local color
But they can't steal the nite

We love the downtown life
Driftin' thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Downtown life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the lite to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

My baby knows she's got to go for this kind of life
'cause city love can't stand. to see the sunlite
Dawn patrol better leave me alone
'cause i can only take it for so long
Going down isn't hard to do
The king of clubs and.queen of hearts fall too
She says, 'if you believe this is only a lonely time,
Stay at home boys the blues are lost on you'
Ain't it true

We love the downtown life
Drifting thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Downtown life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the night to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on


2.Everything Your Heart Desires

Music:daryl hall
lyrics:daryl hall

You say you can't stand to be
Tied so close to a lover
Ooh you feel like a prisoner
And you wanna find someone who will let you out
Can't you see the heartbeat that you know so well
Is better than some strange one you're looking for
Say you never know that strange one just might be me

Can't you see -
You have everything your heart desires
So why d'you want more
If you had everything your heart desired
Would you still want more
You have everything your heart desires
Why d'you wont more
If you have everything your heart desires
Oh baby will you still want more

You tell me your best friend's world seems beautiful
But don't be fooled
It's nice work if you can get it
What goes on behind closed doors you don't know
Maybe she cries herself to sleep every nite
Sorry that the heartbeat that she knows so well
Ain't what she's looking for
Say you never know that strange heart just might be me

Can't you see -
You have everything your heart desires
So why d'you want more
If you had everything your heart desired
Would you still wand more
You have everything your heart desires
Why d'you want more
If you have everything your heart desires
Will you still want more

Maybe you'll confess
Girl you'll see
If you want.the world
Think of me
No words can help
Don't be sad
'cause baby what you want is what you have


3.I'm In Pieces

Music:daryl hall
Lyrics:daryl hall, janna allen

Why do i go all to pieces
When you're breezin' by
My desire makes me shy
The words i wanna say to you
But baby i'm afraid to
'cause i've been a fool in love
Over and over again
You gotta know i'm in trouble
I'm all undone
Got my heart in your hand, understand?.
Can't cool down the passion
Can't stop the reaction
So be careful with a fool in love
Who is over his head again

I'm in pieces
I'm in pieces over you
Girl i can't hold. out

Got to hold back my obsession
'cause i care too much
But it's hard-to pretend (once again)
Can't slow down every heartbeat:.:
No catchin' up on lost sleep
Gone so far and i'm so deep over my. head again

I'm in pieces
I'm in pieces over you
Girl i can't hold out
Guess i'll go to pieces now

You shatter my pattern
You let me see daylite
I'm takin up habits
Just to break 'em all over again


4.Missed Opportunity

Music:daryl hall
Lyrics:daryl hall, john oates, sara allen

Keep on missing each other
Our world's out of order
All i see is missed opportunity

Will we ever learn
In trouble where will we turn
And when you're losing the fight
Who's your white knight gonna be
Feel you drift away
(oh baby) you don't hear what i'm sayin'
We had a chance to stay together
Ooh forever
But we got lost in the dream

Keep on missing each other
Our world's out of order
All i see is missed opportunity

Talk but never show
You're holding back
Words lack meaning that's all
Things you say ricochet
Miss by a mile
The words don't work for me
Ooh who understands.
Why the world's nasty girl
When we re doin' the best we can
Even tho we're walking a wire
Where there's hope there's desire
Calling you back to your white knight


5.Talking All Night

Music:daryl hall, john oates
Lyrics:daryl hall, john oates

Ain't it funny i'm tied to the magic of your caress
Ain't it lovely how we fit together
Girl you're the best
It seems like we've been talking forever
Words & wine
We've been lost in time
Touching emotions i used to hide
Too deep inside

12:45 quarter to one
We're talking all night
1:45 quarter to two
We're talking all night

Heat of passion, hours and minutes don't mean so much
I know the language of love is a tender touch
Speak slowly, make the night last forever, spill the wine
So you'll forget the time
Won't you break down & show me emotions you used to hide so deep
inside

12:45 quarter to one
We're talking all night
1:45 quarter to two
We're talking all night
2:45 quarter to three
We're talking all night
3:45 quarter to four
We're talking all night


6.Rockability

Music:john oates
Lyrics:daryl hall, john oates, sara allen

Standing on the sideline
Waiting for the right time
That girl knows her part
Jammin' with my heart
Didn't wanna be here
But now that i see her
I know why i ran
& why i'm back again
She makes me lose control
& i do believe the girl can see into my soul
It shakes me now
She says she wants my love
That's too much

Ooh that news excites me
'cause the girl's got rockability
Think she'll go all the way
'cause the girl's got rockability

Ooh she's really out there
So knocked out l=i don't care
That amazon thing can make a body sing
Every move is startime
She's a legend in a long line
I want her to be everything to me
She makes me lose control
When she moves i wanna fall under her spell
It breaks me down
She knows but she won't tell
That i'm the one

Ooh that news excites me
The girl's got rockability
Think she'll go all the way
'cause the girl's got rockability

Doin' wrong if i can't do her right
Yeah i'm making my play
Any way i can get it
The girl's got rock


7.Rocket To God

Music:daryl hall
lyrics:daryl hall

I can't live without you
Girl i can't let go
Everybody tells me
Daryl just walk away
They don't know the power
We have together
Ain't no one can tell me
What to believe

Oh baby you move my soul
Like a rocket to god
Oh honey i wanna fly to your arms

Dream too much about you
Both the good and the bad
Maybe i'm too jealous
But i just don't care
Everytime you hurt me
It's a scar on my heart
Everytime you love me
It's ecstasy my dear

Oh baby you move my soul
Like a rocket to god
Oh honey i wanna fly to your arms
Oh baby you move my soul
Like a rocket to god
Oh honey i wanna die in your arms

I can feel you baby
Even tho you're nowhere near
Ain't no one can save me
Don't want to stop i want to go up
Like a rocket


8.Soul Love

Music:daryl hall, holly knight
Lyrics:daryl hall, holly knight

I can believe that you love me
The way you set this soul on fife
Typical talk in the daytime
At nite - only hot desire
I can do anything, darling
'cause you take me as i am
Baby there's something about us
That makes it a perfect blend
Yeah i found out what love means to me

Gimme that gimme that nasty touch
I dig it so much
Gimme that gimme that nasty touch
We got it - soul love
I'm like you & you're like me
So what
We got it, soul love
Gimme that gimme that nasty touch
Soul love

How could it be that we're so tight
Love telepathy
Somebody else could excite me
But what you do - that's another thing
Promise i will do you right
'cause you've got what i need
I feel you burning inside me
I'm livin' in your love dream
Yeah i know you & i were born to be

So hot soul love
So much soul love


9.Realove

Music:daryl hall, john oates
Lyrics:daryl hall, john oates

One man says, 'look to heaven for true love'
One child so blind with the stars in her eyes
So why do you think that could be right
She tries but there ain't no way to buy second sight
Oh those eastern ways on western nites
I want to be the heart of your desire

Realove is a passion play
Realove is a passion play

You mean to make him take it your way
I know his mind is in the shadows
He'll take you all the way thru midnite
So sad you can't run but you can't fight
Oh those eastern ways on western nites
I want to be the heart of your desire

Realove is a passion play
Realove is a passion play


10.Keep On Pushin' Love

Music:john oates
lyrics:john oates

Little girl walkin' down the street
Gotta subway smile & a heart in heat
Sayin' work it for you daddy
I'll work it for you daddy
Work it for you daddy
All nite

Leather boy make the metal scene
Wanna party with the band
Have the hot chicks screamin'
It's a video dream

Watch the preacher man work the t.v. screen
He'll take your money, love and promise everything
But there ain't no shortcut to salvation

Every man, woman, every boy & girl
Let your love lite shine
Make a better world believe it
People when you feel it

Keep on pushin' love
'cause your heart can't deny
You'll be right on time if you
Keep on push in' love

See the homeless man on a frozen stoop
He gets the walk-on-by from the business suit
See it happening every day (you know) it don't have to be that
way

Got a bomb for me and two for you
I'll blow your scene baby
Then you can blow mine too

Every man, woman, every boy & girl
Let your love lite shine
Make a better world believe it
People if you feel it
Keep on pushin' love
