Very Best Of

Pat Benatar Very Best Of Lyrics
1.All Fired Up

Written:p.giraldo, m.grombacher & k.tolhurst

Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, i never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, i gotta feel the kick inside
All fired up
Now i believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up - hey

Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now i got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

Chorus:
All fired up
Now i believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now i believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now i believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now i believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now i believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now i believe

(chorus)

3.Everybody Lay Down

Written:n. giraldo & p. giraldo

Everybody go round, go round, go round
Everybody lay down, lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough, hang tough
Life a little too rough
Everybody lay down

Everybody say hey, don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, don't nobody say go? (chorus)
Everybody lay down

Everybody cry loud, cry loud, cry loud
Nobody too proud, too proud, too proud
To tell you what they're all about
Everybody lay down

Everybody don't care, don't care, don't care
Nobody play fair, play fair, play fair
Maybe everybody too scared
Everybody lay down

(chorus)

Everybody lookin' higher
Everybody want to touch the fire
Nobody willing to lay it all down

Everybody want heaven
Everybody say amen
One thing is certain, you gotta lay it all down

(chorus)

Everybody go round, go round, go
Everybody lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down

Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough
When it's just a little rough, everybody lay down

(chorus) twice


4.Fire And Ice

Written:pat benatar, scott sheets & tom kelly

Ooo, you're givin' me the fever tonight
I don't wanna give in
I'd be playin' with fire
You forget, i've seen you work before
Take 'em straight to the top
Leave 'em cryin' for more
I've seen you burn 'em before
Chorus:

Fire and ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You'll just tear it apart

Movin' in for the kill tonight
You got every advantage when they put out the lights
It's not so pretty when it fades away
Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play
I've seen you burn 'em before

(chorus)

So you think you got it all figured out
You're an expert in the field, without a doubt
But i know your methods inside and out
And i won't be takin' in by fire and ice

(chorus)

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice


5.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!


6.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


7.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!


8.Invincible

This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

This shattered dream you cannot justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisified
What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there's no where we can run to anymore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's no where, no where we can run to anymore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible


9.I Want Out

Written:neil geraldo & billy steinberg

Ooh baby, got a hold on me, i can't deny it
You locked the door and you swallowed the key
And i... and i kept quiet
Yeah baby, got a hold on me, i didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you 'cause i really believed
That i couldn't make it on my own

But i'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And i know what you're all about
I want out!
I want out!

Ooh baby, your lovin' told on me, i couldn't smile anymore
My friends all told me, baby can't you see?
But i wasn't seeing clear before

Now i'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And i know what you're all about
I want out!
I want out!

Ooh baby, got a hold on me, i didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you 'cause i really believed
That i couldn't make it
I want out!

Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I want out!


10.Lipstick Lies

Written:n. geraldo, p. giraldo & m. grombacher

You've gotta admit, you paint a pretty picture
No one would ever suspect, your so adept at the art
I hear the lonely lover sigh
You hide behind cosmetic eyes
Kiss them off with lipstick lies
Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
They won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity

You're the picasso of pain, a fantasy in fleshtone
And though you're never the same
You're never far from the mark
Now and then you close your eyes
To see the heartbreak in disguise

Kiss them off with lipstick lies
Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
They won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity

You see just what you want to see
Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name
Who's to blame?

Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
They won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity
You see just what you want to see

Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name

Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name

Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name

Who's to blame?


11.Love Is A Battlefield

Written:mike chapman & holly knight

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You're beggin' me to go, you're makin' me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do i stand in your way, or am i the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, i can't tell you why
But i'm trapped by your love, and i'm chained to your side

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We're losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer, i could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield


12.Ooh Ooh Song

Written:niel geraldo & pat giraldo

Just when we think we conquered it
It seems we lose the fight again
But there's just no stoppin' it
It's like a bad dream that never ends
It puts up walls between us
That get harder, and harder, and harder, and harder, and harder
To remove
But we let it continue, like people in love always do
Ooh - ooh
Ooh - ooh
Ooh - ooh

Lets not pretend that we're unique
Coz everybody's tasted loves illusion
We try to hide the fact that we
Got lost between the choas and confusion
And the love we feel
Is gettin' deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and
deeper
By the minute

But we let it slip away
Coz we don't know a good thing while we're in it

Ooh - ooh
Ooh - ooh
Ooh - ooh

(ending background vocal:
'y el amor que sentimos es mas profundo'
'the love that we feel is deeper')


13.Promises In The Dark

Never again, isn't that what you said?
You've been through this before
An' you swore this time you'd think with your head
No one, would ever have you again
And if takin' was gonna get done
You'd decide where and when
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart securely tied and bound
They whisper, promises in the dark

Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
All the warnings went off in your head
Still you had to give in

Just when you think you got it down
Resistance nowhere to be found
They whisper, promises in the dark

But promises, you know what they're for
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
And so you put up your guard
And you try to be hard
But your heart says try again

You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart in pieces on the ground
They whisper, promises in the -- dark


14.Shadows Of The Night

we're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
You said - oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
Cause we got nobody else

Chorus:

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast

(repeat chorus three times)

Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

And now the hands of time are standin' still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will


15.Somebody's Baby

Written:n. giraldo & p. giraldo

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
Someone cared if he lived or died
Someone held him in their arms - when he cried
And when he hurt, someone kept the world away
Someone loved him, someone loved him

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter

That was then, that was so long ago
Long before they came and took his soul
Long before he bacame invisible
That was when, he wasn't human garbage then

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter
He used to be somebody's baby


16.True Love

Written:n. giraldo & p. giraldo

Never been no fragile flower
I always got too much to say
Never had much luck with love and romance
I guess it's always been that way
But i've been seriously thinking
About slippin' on the velvet gloves
I know it's strange but my lucks about to change
Cause what we got here is true love, yeh, yeh
True love, you can't buy it - no, no
You know it ain't like nothin' else
True love, you really ought to try it
You owe it to yourself to get ya some - true love

You know i wake up every morning
It's the first thing on my mind
This is a permanent condition, of the most serious kind
Now let me tell you baby
That you were sent from up above
Give me a sign - let's not waste any more time
Cause what we got here is true love, yeh, yeh

I called the man at the video store and i said
Cancel my membership, i won't be needing it no more
Found something else to occupy my nights
And baby it's just the right
Amount of true love

I called the man at the video store and i said
Cancel my membership, i won't be needing it no more
Found something else to occupy my nights
And baby it's just the right
Amount of true love, true love - yeh

Everybody wants it, everybody needs true love
Don't get me wrong about the bad love
I gotta have good love
True love - yeah - true love - ohh
Ummm...
True love


17.We Belong

Written:d. navarro & r. lowen

We belong, we belong to the light
Many times i've tried to tell you
Many times i've cried alone
Always i'm surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone

Don't want to leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

Chorus:

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together

Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When i don't know what to say
Maybe i just wouldn't know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit
Do we distort the facts
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say

(chorus)

Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say

(chorus)


18.We Live For Love

Your love's contagious, one kiss is dangerous
But i have more to risk, than you to lose
I feel passion growing
I know that love is only just one inch away, from striking us
We live for love
We live for love

When we get tired, and watch the summer fade away
Will you think of romance, what will we do?
Is there a place where we can go?
Where time stands still for those who know?
Till eternity we'll fulfill our desires

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love
We live for love

I never planned to win the race
But you convinced me face to face
There was never a chance of losing at all

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love
We live for love

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love (fading)
