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.You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth(Hot Summer Night)

Written:Jim Steinman
Arranger:Jim Steinman/Todd Rundgren

(spoken)
BOY:On a hot summer night,
would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
GIRL: Will he offer me his mouth?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Will he offer me his teeth?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Will he offer me his jaws?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Will he offer me his hunger?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Again, will he offer me his hunger?
BOY: Yes!
GIRL: And does he love me?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Yes.
BOY: On a hot summer night,
would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
GIRL: Yes.
BOY: I bet you say that to all the boys!

(sung)
It was a hot summer night
and the beach was burning.
There was fog crawling over the sand.
When I listen to your heart
I hear the whole world turning.
I see the shooting stars falling
through your trembling hands.

You were licking your lips
and your lipstick shining.
I was dying just to ask for a taste.
We were lying together in a silver lining
by the the light of the moon.
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste.

You hold me so close that my knees grow weak.
But my soul is flying high above the ground.
I'm trying to speak but no matter what I do
I just can't seem to make any sound.

And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And I swear it's true,
I was just about to say I love you.
And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And I swear it's true,
I was just about to say I love you.

Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I'm beginning to grin.
Oh we're finally alone and we can do what we want to.
The night is young
And Ain't no-one gonna know where you
No-one gonna know where you
No-one's gonna know where you've been.
You were licking your lips
and your lipstick shining.
I was dying just to ask for a taste.
We were lying together in a silver lining
by the the light of the moon.
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste.

And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And I swear it's true,
I was just about to say I love you.
And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And I swear it's true,
I was just about to say I love you.


3.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


4.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


5.Dead Ringer For Love

Lyrics:Jim Steinman
Music:Jim Steinman

Every night I grab some money
And I go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer
I got a dream - I need a car
You got me begging on my knees
C'Mon and throw this dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by
Rock 'n'Roll and brew alone, Baby, Baby

Rock 'n' Roll and brew, Rock 'n' Roll and brew
I know that you and I, we got better things to do
Rock 'n' Roll and brew, Rock 'n' Roll and brew
They don't mean a thing when I compare 'em next to you
I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
You're a real dead ringer for love

Ever since I can remember
You been hanging around this joint
You been trying to look away
But now you finally got the point
I don't have to know your name
And I won't tell you what to do
But a girl - she doesn't live by only
Rock 'n' Roll and brew, Baby, Baby

Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Boy they don't mean a thing
When I compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
I know that you and I
We got better things to do
I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
You're a real dead ringer for love

You got the kind of legs, that do more than walk
I don't have to listen to your whimpering talk
Listen you got the kind of eyes, that do more than see
You gotta lot of nerve, coming on to me
You got the kind of lips, that do more than drink

You got the kind of mind, that does less than think
But since I'm feeling kinda lonely and my defenses are low
Why don't we give it shot and get ready to go

I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
And I want to tell my Daddy that I'll be missing in action
Ever since I can remember
I've been hanging around this joint
My Daddy never noticed it
Now he finally got the point

You got me beggin' on my knees, C'Mon and throw this dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by Rock 'n' Roll and brew alone, Baby,
Baby


6.Heaven Can Wait

Written:Jim Steinman
Arranger:Jim Steinman/Todd Rundgren

Heaven can wait,
And a band of Angels wrapped up in my heart,
Will take me through the lonely night,
Through the cold of the day.
And I know, I know,
Heaven can wait,
And all the gods come down here just to sing for me,
And the melody's gonna make me fly,
Without pain, without fear.

Give me all of your dreams,
And let me go alone on your way.
Give me all of your prayers to sing,
And I'll turn the night into the skylight of day.
I got a taste of paradise,
I'm never gonna let it slip away.
I got a taste of paradise,
It's all I really need to make me stay
Just like a child again.

Heaven can wait.
And all I've got is time until the end of time.
I won't look back.
I won't look back.
Let the altars shine.

And I know that I've been released,
But I don't know to where,
And nobody's gonna tell me now,
And I don't really care. No, no, no.
I got a taste of paradise.
That's all I really need to make me stay.
I got a taste of paradise.
If I had it any sooner you know
You know I never would have run away from my home.

Heaven can wait.
And all I've got is time until the end of time.
I won't look back.
I won't look back.
Let the altars shine.

Heaven can wait.
Heaven can wait.
I won't look back.
I won't look back.
Let the altars shine.
Let the altars shine.


7.All Revved Up With No Place To Go

Written:Jim Steinman
Arranger:Jim Steinman/Todd Rundgren

I was nothing but a lonely boy
Looking out for something new
And you were nothing but a lonely girl
But you were something
Something like a dream come true.

I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
When I played my guitar
I made the canyons rock, but
Every Saturday Night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go

In the middle of a steamy night
I'm tossing in my sleep
And in the middle of a red-eyed dream

I see you coming
Coming on to give it to me

I was out on the prowl
Down by the edge of the track
And like a son of a jackal
I'm the leader of the pack, but
Every Saturday night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go

Oh baby I'm a hunter in the dark of the forest
I've been stalking you and tracking you down
Cruising up and down the main drag all night long
We could be standing at the top of the world
Instead of sinking further down in the mud
You and me 'round about midnight
You and me 'round about midnight
Someone's got to draw first
Draw first
Someone's got to draw first blood
Someone's got to draw first blood
Ooh I got to draw first blood
Ooh I got to draw first blood
I was out on the prowl
Down by the edge of the track
And like a son of a jackal
I'm the leader of the pack, but
Every Saturday night
I felt the fever grow
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go
Do ya know what it's like
All revved up with no place to go

I was nothing but a lonely all-American boy
Looking out for something new
And you were nothing but a all-American lonely girl
But you were something like a dream come true.
I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a block
And when I played my guitar
I made the canyons rock, but
But every Saturday Night
I felt the fever grow
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go
All revved up with no place to go


8.Paradise By The Dashboard Light

Written:Jim Steinman
Arranger:Jim Steinman/Todd Rundgren

BOY:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon, hold on tight
C'mon, hold on tight

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

GIRL:
Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

BOTH:
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go out and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed

BOY: 'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Baby don'cha hear my heart
You got it drowing out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let you know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make you motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon, Hold on tight
C'mon, Hold on tight

BOTH:
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely

We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way
And tonight's the night

RADIO BROADCAST:
OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
There's the wind-up, and there it is
A line shot up the middle, look at him go
This boy can really fly
He's rounding first and really turning it on now
He's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second
The ball is bobbled out in the center
And here's the throw and what a throw
He's gonna slide in head first
Here he comes, he's out
No, wait, safe, safe at second base
This kid really makes things happen out there
Batter steps up to the plate
Here's the pitch, he's going
Amd what a jump he's got
He's trying for third
Here's the throw
It's in the dirt, safe a third
Holw cow, stolen base
He's taking a pretty big lead out there
Almost daring them to pick him off
The pitcher glances over, winds-up and it's bunted
Bunted down the third base line
The suicide squeeze is on
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close
Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate
Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it

GIRL:
Stop right there
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further

Do you love me
Will you love me forever
Do you need me
Will you make me so happy
For the rest of my life
Will you take me away
And will you make me your wife
Do you love me
Will you love me forever
Do you need me
Will you make me so happy
For the rest of my life
Will you take me away
And will you make me your wife

I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me
Will you love me forever

BOY:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning

GIRL:
I gotta know right now
Do you love me
Will you love me forever
Do you need me
Will you make me so happy
For the rest of my life
Will you take me away
And will you make me your wife
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me
And will you love me forever

BOY:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it

GIRL:
Will you love me forever

BOY:
Let me sleep on it

GIRL
Will you love me forever

BOY:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god
And on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
So I can end my time with you

BOY:
It was long ago and it was far away,
And it was so much better than it is today.

GIRL:
It never felt so good, It never felt so right
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.


9.Wasted Youth(Speech)

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!'


10.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


11.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

Hey Ricky, now mine is empty how about one for you
We could set it out together seem's tomorrow's overdue
Captain Video, done went home one pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies talk that talk about who loves who -- who
loves best

Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line
It's midnight at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills
At the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found

Have a double, it's gettin' late you'll get home, just rely on
fate
Place just finally came alive good old boys just arrived
Stools keep changin' faces and the night just slips away
And like a long distance love affair soon you've got to pay

Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today
Hangin' on barely, hitch a ride away
Belly up and bury, boy, all the hurt you feel today

Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody get back in line
Last call for the lost and found


13.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


14.What You See Is What You Get

Written:Patti Jerome/Michael Valvo

Boy:
There ain't no hidden treasure, in this pot of gold you see.
Ain't no way you're going to make, no silk purse outta me.

Girl:
Well I'm never ever gonna change your ways, I'll take you as you
are.
You got something that I want, and that's a way to start.

Both:
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.

Boy:
I told you that I loved you, right from the very start.
Now don't you make me start again, baby and open up my heart.

Girl:
Well I know that I'm no angel, can say my first time out.
But you can count on what I've got, 'cause what I've got's
enough.

Both:
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.

Girl:
When it's cold I want it hot, I've always wanted what it not.
But when it comes to loving you, I'm yours no matter what you
do.

Boy:
Oh, you're my baby, I'm your man, this is not an angel's plan.

Girl:
Can't you see it, it's a fact, loving you is where it's at.

(What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.)

What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
What you see is what you get, and you ain't seen nothing yet.


15.Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Written:Jim Steinman
Arranger:Jim Steinman/Todd Rundgren

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't gettin us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do, Is keep on telling you
I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna
love you
Now don't be sad, 'Cause two out of three ain't bad

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup de Ville
Hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box
I can't lie, I can't tell you something I'm not
No matter how I try, I'll never be able
To give you something, something that I just haven't got

There's only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away

And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me, she kept on telling me
I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad, 'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere


16.Hot Patootie

Lyrics:Richard O'brien
Music:Richard O'brien

Whatever happened to Saturday Night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine
I used to drive around with a chick who'd go
Listen to the music on the radio
A saxaphone was blowing on a rock 'n' roll show
You climbed in the back seat
Really had a good time

Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll

My head used to swim from the perfume I smelt
My hand's kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt
She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine
Get back in front put some hair-oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song
With your arms around you girl you try to sing along
You felt pretty good
Really had a good time

Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll

Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot Patootie - Bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll


17.For Crying Out Loud

Written:Jim Steinman
Arranger:Jim Steinman/Todd Rundgren

I was lost till you were found
But I never know how far down, I was falling
Before I reached the bottom
I was cold and you were fire
And I never knew how the pyre
Could be burning, on the edge of the ice field

And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California
sand
Oh I know you belong, inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levis, bursting apart

And don't you hear me crying 'Oh Babe, don't go'
And don't you hear me screaming 'How was I to know?'
I'm in the middle of nowhere, near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment, to see the light of the day

And take me to another land where, I don't have to stay
And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
For crying out loud, you know I love you
For crying out loud, you know I love you
For crying out loud, you know I love you

I was damned and you were saved
And I never knew how enslaved
I was kneeling, In the chains of my master
I could laugh but you could cry
And I never knew just how high, I was flying
Ah, with you right above me
And now the chilly California wind, Is blowing down our bodies
again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California
sand
Oh I know you belong, Inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levis, bursting apart
And don't you hear me crying, 'Oh Babe, don't go'
And don't you hear me screaming, 'How was I to know?'
For crying out loud, you know I love you

For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
My oh my, for that, I thank you
For taking in the sun when I feel so cold
For giving me a child when my body is old
And don't you know, that I need you
For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
For finding me a freeway and for driving me home
And you got to know, for that, I serve you

For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
For revving me up when I'm starting to stall
And you got to know, for that, I want you
For taking and for giving and for playing the game
For praying for my future in the days that remain
Oh Lord, for that, I hold you
Ah, but most of all, for crying out loud
For that, I love you
Ah, but most of all, for crying out loud
For that, I love you
When you're crying out loud, you know, I love you


18.Bat Out Of Hell

Written:Jim Steinman
Arranger:Jim Steinman/Todd Rundgren

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling,
way down in the valley tonight.
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye,
and a blade shining oh so bright.
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in sky,
and A killer's on the bloodshot streets.
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising,
Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter,
He was starting to foam in the heat.

Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world,
that's pure and good and right.
And wherever you are and wherever you go,
there's always gonna be some light.
But I gotta get out,
I gotta break it out now,
Before the final crack of dawn.
So we gotta make the most of our one night together.
When it's over you know,
We'll both be so alone.

Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes.
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone gone gone.
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes.
But when the day is done and the sun goes down,
and the moonlights shining through,
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,
I'll come crawling on back to you.

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram,
on a silver black phantom bike.
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry,
and we're all about to see the light.
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole.
Everything is stunted and lost.
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost.
And I know that I'm damned if I never get out,
And maybe I'm damned if I do,
But with every other beat I've got left in my heart,
You know I'd rather be damned with you.
If I gotta be damned you know I wanns be damned,
dancing through the night with you.
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned.
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned.
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned,
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you.

Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world,
that's pure and good and right.
And wherever you are and wherever you go,
there's always gonna be some light.
But I gotta get out,
I gotta break it out now,
Before the final crack of dawn.
So we gotta make the most of our one night together.
When it's over you know,
We'll both be so alone.

Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes.
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone gone gone.
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes.
But when the day is done and the sun goes down,
and the moonlights shining through,
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,
I'll come crawling on back to you.

I can see myself tearing up the road,
Faster than any other boy has ever gone.
And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe.
No-one's gonna stop me now,
I gotta make my escape.
But I can't stop thinking of you,
and I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late.
I never see the sudden curve 'till it's way too late.

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun.
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike.
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
And the last thing I see is my heart,
Still beating,
Breaking out of my body,
And flying away,
Like a bat out of hell.
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun.
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike.
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
And the last thing I see is my heart.
Still beating, still beating,
Breaking out of my body and flying away,
Like a bat out of hell.
Like a bat out of hell.
Like a bat out of hell.
Oh like a bat out of hell!
Oh like a bat out of hell!
Like a bat out of hell!
