Pat Benatar 8-15-80 Lyrics
1.Heartbreaker

Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head
Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid
You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around - no no no!

Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control
You taught me the ways of desire, now its takin' its toll
You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around - no no no!

You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Heartbreaker!


2.Hell Is For Children

They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and
your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and
your flesh

No, hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell is for children
Hell is for children


3.Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's o.k., lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes, lets get down to it!
Hit me with your best shot!
Why don't you hit me with your best shot!
Hit me with your best shot!
Fire away!

You come on with a 'come on', you don't fight fair
But that's o.k., see if i care!
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back on my feet again!

Hit me with your best shot!
Why don't you hit me with your best shot!
Hit me with your best shot!
Fire away!

Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before i put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place

Hit me with your best shot!
Come on, hit me with your best shot!
Hit me with your best shot!
Fire away!

Hit me with your best shot!
Why don't you hit me with your best shot!
Hit me with your best shot!
Fire away!


4.I'm Gonna Follow You

I'm gonna follow you, 'till i wear you down
I'm gonna follow you, 'cause this here's my town
You don't know these streets the way that i do (i do, i do)
You can't turn it on and off the way that i do (i do, i do)
Ooo, ooo...

I'm gonna follow you, 'till i know your timing
You'll turn some corner soon, and find you can't get by me
You don't know these streets the way that i do (i do, i do)
You can't turn it on and off the way that i do (i do, i do)

You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley
You come around here in your ballet slippers padding on my alley
And you know that you can't dance
Cause you know you never had the chance
I'm gonna dance for you!

Ooo, ooo...

I'm gonna follow you, 'till i wear you down
I'm gonna follow you, 'cause this here's my town
You don't know these streets the way that i do (i do, i do)
You can't turn it on and off the way that i do (i do, i do)

You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley
You come around here in your ballet slippers padding on my alley
And you know that you can't dance
Cause you know you never had the chance
I'm gonna dance for you!

Ooo, ooo...


5.In The Heat Of The Night

In the heat of the night, when you know it ain't right
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, no one can feel like you
Out in the summertime city, ain't it a pity
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight to somewhere you can't be found
While down at the edge of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You hear them talkin' about the girls they knew
And talk about what they're gonna do
Then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?
Is it right, or is it wrong?
Does it matter what's right, in the heat of the night?

Out in the streets tonight, under the neon lights
You're searchin' for something new
But nothin' is real, and no one can feel like you
They say that eagles fly in this red hot sky
But were they just passin' through
Or did they look down, and see what you found was true

But still in the back of your mind
You've got somethin' to believe in, but there's so much to find
As the bright lights dim, and the night closes in
You thought everything is ending, but it's yet to begin
And you ain't seen nothing yet!
But what you see you'll never forget, and you'll say

Why oh why)
Did it take you so long to want something more?
Why oh why)
Did you never get off on this before?
Why oh why)
Well, here it is, the love you've been waitin' for
Why oh why)
Standin' in front of you like an open door

And then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?
Is it right, or is it wrong?
Does it matter what's right, in the heat of the night?

In the heat of the night, when you know it ain't right
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, 'cause no one can feel like you


6.I Need A Lover

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone to thrill me, and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

Well i've been walking the streets in the evening
Racing through this human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey - i'm so weak, won't someone shut out that light
Electricity runs thru the video
And i watch from this hole i call home
And all the stonies that are dancin' to the radio
I got the world calling me tonight on the phone

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

Well i'm not wiped out by this poolroom life i'm livin'
But i'm gonna quit my job, and go to school, and head back home
Now i'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
Hey - i just can't face shakin' in this bedroom one more night
alone

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone to thrill me, and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway


7.Little Paradise

Can you see the view? can you feel the heat?
I'm savin' no time for you, no time for me
You're up on the news, i'm wild in the streets
I'm under the lights, tonight i won't have to hide the need
But you got love in its place
In its own time and space
You got love in its place in your
Little paradise

You got fashion secure in your own little world
Diamonds are forever for hollywood girls
No need to cover, no reason to lie
Life without your maserati is grounds for suicide

But you got love in its place
In its own time and space
You got love in its place in your
Little paradise
Little paradise

You got love in its place
In its own time and space
You got love in its place in your

You got love in its place
In its own time and space
You got love in its place in your

Little paradise
Little paradise
Little paradise
Little paradise
Little paradise
Little paradise
Little paradise
Little paradise (fading out)


8.My Clone Sleeps Alone

You know and i know my clone sleeps alone
She's out on her own - forever
She's programmed to work hard, she's never profane
She won't go insane, not ever
No v.d., no cancer, on t.v's the answer
No father, no mother,, she's just like the other
And you know and i know, my clone sleeps alone

Your clone loves my clone, but yours cannot see
That's no way to be, in heaven
No sorrow, no heartache, just clone harmony
So obviously, it's heaven

No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
No bed names, no sex games, just clone names and clone games
And you know and i know my clone sleeps alone

Before we existed the cloning began
The cloning of man and woman
When we're gone they'll live on, cloned endlessly
It's mandatory in heaven

But they won't remember or ever be tender
No loving, no caring, no program for pairing
No v.d., no cancer, on t.v's the answer
No father, no mother, she's just like the other

No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
And you know and i know my clone sleeps alone
My clone sleeps alone!
My clone sleeps alone!


9.No You Don't

You keep tellin' me don't hang around
While you play around with the clowns that you found
It ain't right
Now and then i get tired of the sound of you putting me down
While you're playing the town everynight
I'm getting hung up, yes i am, yes i am
And you don't give a damn

Chorus:

No you don't
Have to treat me like a fool
No you don't
Have to be so bloody cool
No you don't
Have to make up all the rules
No you don't
No, no you don't
No you don't

You keep playing your reckless games that will bring you fame
But i'll take the blame for your name

Well you think you've got my life in your hands
But you don't understand, that i've got my own plans
My own plans
I'm going down, yes i am, yes i am
And you don't give a damn

(chorus)


10.Out-a-touch

I've seen your picture in the paper
On the front page of magazines
I've pulled the trigger right at you
On billboards and movie screens
When i talk, it's to myself
Cause i know your kind, you're like everyone else
Maybe it'll work itself out in time, before i lose my mind
You, you're out-a-touch
All alone in a danger zone, and i think too much
Your out-a-touch

I keep your letters by the mirror
You're the subject of every dream
You're not so invincible, and i'm not what i might seem

When i look, it's in your eyes
And i know your look, you can hypnotize
How long does it have to last like this, a kodachrome kiss

You, you're out-a-touch
All alone in a danger zone, and i think too much
You, you're out-a-touch
You're in my sight all through the night
And i see too much
Your out-a-touch

Can't you see i'm obsessed
I'd do anything, i'm possessed
I'm in a constant rage with your luminary stage
I need you, i need you

I've seen your picture in the paper
On the front page of magazines
I've pulled the trigger right at you
On billboards and movie screens

When i look, it's in your eyes
And i know your look, you can hypnotize
How long does it have to last like this, a kodachrome kiss

You, you're out-a-touch
All alone in a danger zone, and i think too much
Your out-a-touch

I need you (7 times)


11.Treat Me Right

Written:pat benatar and d. lubahn

You want me to leave, you want me to stay
You ask me to come back, you turn and walk away
You wanna be lovers, and you wanna be friends
I'm losing my patience, you're nearing the end
One of these days you're gonna reach out and find
The one that you count on has left you behind
Don't want to be no martyr, with no one, no say
Oh my, my baby, before it's too late

Treat me right
Treat me right
Open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light

Do you think i'm a fool, well you better think twice
I've had enough baby, it's time you realized
That you can't have it both ways, it's no way to live
You've done all the takin', it's your turn to give

One of these days you're gonna reach out and find
The one that you count on has left you behind
Don't want to be no martyr, with no one, no say
Oh my, my baby, before it's too late

Treat me right
Treat me right
Open your eye's, maybe you'll see the light
Ooh, ooh, treat me right

You want me to leave, you want me to stay
You ask me to come back, you're turnin' love away
You wanna be lovers, and you wanna be friends
I'm losing my patience, you're nearing the end

Treat me right
Treat me right
Open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light
Ooh, ooh, treat me right

Treat me right - treat me right
Treat me right - treat me right
Treat me right - treat me right
Treat me right - treat me right
Treat me right (fading out)
