1.I'd Do Anything For Love(But I Won't Do That)
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and
back
I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a
fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, I won't
do that
Anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, oh I won't do
that
Some days it don't come easy, and some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that
never end
Some nights you're breathing fire, and some nights you're carved
in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will
again
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you
As long as the planets are turning, as long as the stars are
burning
As long as your dreams are coming true, you better believe it
That I would do anything for love, and I'll be there til the
final act
I would do anything for love, and I'll take a vow and seal a
pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for
love
Oh I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no I won't
do that
I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
Some days I pray for silence, and somedays I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N
Roll
Some nights I lose the feeling, and some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the
thunder rolls
Maybe I'm lonely and that's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep
As long as the wheels are turning, as long as the fires are
burning
As long as your prayers are coming true, you better believe it
That I would do anything for love, and you know it's true and
that's a fact
I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning
back
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so
long
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for
love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no no no I
won't do that
I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no
way
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for
love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
Will you raise me up, will you help me down？
Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town？
Will you make it all a little less cold？
I can do that! I can do that!
Will you hold me sacred？ Will you hold me tight？
Can you colorize my life, I'm so sick of black and white？
Can you make it all a little less old？
I can do that! Oh oh, now I can do that!
Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands？
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand？
Can you give me something I can take home？
I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!
Will you cater to every fantasy I got？
Will ya hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot？
Will you take me places I've never known？
I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on
I won't do that! No I won't do that!
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around
I won't do that! No I won't do that!
Anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no I won't do
that
2.Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
I want my money back! I want my money back!
It's all or nothing, and nothing's all I ever get
Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out
It's always something, there's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee, that's what this is all about
It's a never ending attack, everything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
And all the morons and all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules, it's not a game, it's just
a rout
There's desperation, there's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes and no detergent gets it
out
And we're always slipping thru the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
I want my money back, I want my money back
What about love？ It's defective - it's always breaking in half
What about sex？ It's defective - it's never built to really last
What about your family？ It's defective - all the batteries are
shot
What about your friends？ They're defective - all the parts are
out of stock
What about hope？ It's defective - it's corroded and decayed
What about faith？ It's defective - it's tattered and it's frayed
What about your Gods？ They're defective - They forgot the
warranty
What about your town？ It's defective - it's a dead end street to
me
What about your school？ It's defective - it's a pack of useless
lies
What about your work？ It's defective - it's a crock and then you
die
What about your childhood？ It's defective - it's dead and buried
in the past
What about your future？ It's defective - and you can shove it up
your ass!
I want my money back - life is a lemon
I want my money back - life is a lemon, life is a lemon
It's all or nothing, and nothing's all I ever get
Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out
It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
And we're always slipping thru the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
3.Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut out the night, you want to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart
Think of how we'd lay down together
We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs
I treasure your love, I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love, I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that I told you,
And I'm telling you again that it's true
When you're alone and afraid, and you're completely amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do
Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby
There's always something magic, there's always something new
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours forever, the beat is always true
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through for you
Once upon a time was a backbeat,
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night
Remember everything that I told you,
And I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do
Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby
The beat is yours forever - that's when rock and roll dreams
come through
4.It Just Won't Quit
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
And I never really sleep anymore, and I always get those
dangerous dreams
And I never get a minute of peace, and I gotta wonder what it
means
And I gotta wonder what it means
Maybe it's nothing and I'm under the weather
Maybe it's just one of those bugs going round
Maybe I'm under a spell and it's magic
Maybe there's a witch doctor with an office in town
Oh is this a blessing or is it a curse？
Does it get any better？ Can it get any worse？
Will it go on forever or is it over tonight？
Does it come with the darkness？ Does it bring out the light？
Is it richer than diamonds or just a little cheaper than spit？
(I don't know what it is)
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
And there used to be such an easy way of living
And there used to be every hope in the world
And I used to get everything that I went after
But there never used to be this girl, but there never used to be
this girl
Maybe I'm crazy and I'm losing my senses
Maybe I'm possessed by a spirit or such
Maybe I'm desperate and I've got no defenses
Can you get me a prescription for that one perfect touch？
It's a stairway to heaven or a subway going down to the pits
(Is it some kind of love？)
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
There was a time when nothing ever really mattered
There was a time when there was nothing I didn't know
There was a time when I knew just what I was living for
There was a time and the time was so long ago
There was a time and the time was so long ago
And I never really sleep anymore
5.Out Of The Frying Pan(And Into The Fire)
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
It's only two o'clock and the temperature's beginning to soar
And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the
living dead
It's never been this hot and I've never been so bored
And breathing is just no fun anymore
Then I saw you like a summer dream
And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said
You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway
horse
The subways are sizzling and the skin of the streets is gleaming
with sweat
I've seen you sitting on the steps outside
And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost
I think it's time for you to come inside
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget
Come on, come on and there'll be no turning back
You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
Come on, come on, it's time to burn up the fuse
You got nothing to do and even less to lose
So wander down to the ancient hallway
Taking the stairs only one at a time
Follow the sound of my heartbeat now
I'm in the room at the top, you're at the end of the line
So open the door and lay down on the bed
The sun is just a ball of desire
And I wanna take you out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan (and into the fire)
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire, fire, fire
And into the fire
6.Objects In The Rear View Mirror(May Appear Closer Than They Are)
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
The skies were pure and the fields were green
And the sun was brighter than it's ever been
When I grew up with my best friend Kenny
We were close as any brothers than you ever knew
It was always summer and the future called
We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
And there was so much left to dream and so much time to make it
real
But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was
gone
They said he crashed and burned
I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young
We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
We got in trouble but we sure got around
There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground
But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very
far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they
are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they
are
And when the sun descended and the night arose
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
And corroded by failure and envy and hate
There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and
again
I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run
away alone
So many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life
became my own
And though the nightmares should be over
Some of the terrors are still intact
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back
There was a beauty living on the edge of town
And she always put the top up and the hammer down
And she taught me everything I'll ever know
About the mystery and the muscle of love
The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow
I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo
And the signs along the highway all said, Caution! Kids At Play!
Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
There was salvation every night
We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn
But everything we tried was right
She used her body just like a bandage
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they
are
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they
are
She used her body just like a bandage
She used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
7.Wasted Youth
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
Spoken
I remember everything!
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
I was barely seventeen and I once killed a boy with a Fender
guitar
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Startocaster
But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like
a horny angel!
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Startocaster
But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy
It required the perfect combination of the correct power chords
And the precise angle from which to strike
The guitar bled for a week afterward and the blood
Was dark and rich like wild berries
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red
The guitar bled for about a week afterward but it rung out
beautifully
And I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before
So, I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall
I smashed it against the floor
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader
I smashed it against the hood of a car
I smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson
The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in heat
And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom
Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
Slowly I opened the door, creeping in the shadows
Right up to the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon
the centre of the bed
My father woke up screaming
'Stop! Wait a minute! Stop it boy! What do you think you're
doing？
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!'
And I said 'God dammit Daddy! You know I love you
but you've got a hell of a lot to learn about rock and roll!'
8.Everything Louder Than Everything Else
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
Wasted youth! Wasted youth!
I know that I will never be politically correct
And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette
As far as I'm concerned, the world could still be flat
And if the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back!!
Who am I？ Why am I here？ Forget the questions, someone gimme
another beer
What's the meaning of life, what's the meaning of it all？
You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl
You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl!!
So sign up all you raw recruits, throw away those designer suits
You got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights
There's a party raging somewhere in the world
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
You're all enlisted in the armies of the night
And I ain't in it for the power, and I ain't in it for the
health
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
And I sure ain't in it for the wealth
But I'm in it 'til it's over and I just can't stop
If you wanna get it done, you gotta do it yourself
And I like my music like I like my life
Everything louder than everything else
Wasted youth! Wasted youth! Wasted youth! Wasted youth!
They got a file on me and it's a mile long
And they say that they've got all of the proof
That I'm just another case of arrested development
And just another wasted youth
They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline
They say I've gotta face the truth
That I'm just another case of arrested development
And just another wasted youth
They say I'm wild and I'm reckless, I should be acting my age
I'm an impressionable child in a tumultuous world
And they say I'm at a difficult stage
But it seems to me to the contrary
Of all the crap they're going to put on the page
That a wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive
old age
A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old
age
If you want my views of history then there's something you
should know
The three men I admire most are Curly, Larry and Moe!
If you don't worry 'bout the future, sooner or later it's the
past
And if they say the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it
back
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
So sign up all you raw recruits, throw away all those two-bit
suits
You got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights
There's a party raging somewhere in the world
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
You're all inducted in the armies of the night
And I ain't in it for the power, and I ain't in it for the
health
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
And I sure ain't in it for the wealth
But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop
If you wanna get it done, you gotta fight for yourself
And I like my music like I like my life
9.Good Girls Go To Heaven(Bad Girls Go Everywhere)
Lyrics：Jim Steinman
Music：Jim Steinman
Arranger：Jim Steinman
When the wind is howling through your window pane
It's not the only pain of the night
You're burning up in your bed, you got a fever of love
And there's not an anti-body in sight
Hey Jenny, Jenny, why are you crying？
There's a beauty of a moon in the sky
But I guess when you've been leading such a sheltered life
You never lift your head and look so high
You don't have a lot
But it's all that you got
And you can turn it into more than it seems, give it a shot
Fantasize every movement and
Imagine every inch of your dream
No one said it had to be real
But it's gotta be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air
And the good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me now I know
Every night in my prayer
I'll be praying that the
Good girls go to heaven
But the bad girls go everywhere
When the sweat is sizzling on your skin in the dark
And you're desperate for somewhere to turn
Every muscle in rebellion, every nerve is on edge
And every limb has been erotically burned
Hey Johnny, Johnny, why are you shaking？
When a boy should do whatever he can
You've been nothing but an angel, every day of your life
And now you wonder what it's like to be damned
You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got
And you can turn it into more than it seems, give it a shot
Fantasize every movement and
Imagine every inch of your dream
Every time I try and dream you
I can't believe how hard it's been to
Conjure up your face and trace your body in the air
All the seconds go on forever
But the thirds and the fourth ones are even better
Every time I do it just a little bit longer
Every time I dream it's just a little bit stronger
Than real life

Lost boys and golden girls
Down on the corner and all around the world
Lost boys and golden girls
Down on the corner and all around, all around the world
It doesn't matter where they're going, or wherever they've been
'Cause they got one thing in common it's true
They'll never let a night like tonight go to waste
And let me tell you something, neither will you, neither will
you
We gotta be fast, we were born out of time, born out of time and
alone
And we'll never be as young as we are right now
Running away and running for home, running for home
Lost boys and golden girls
Down on the corner and all around the world
Lost boys and golden girls
Down on the corner and all around, all around the world
