I met a girl real late one night and she told me that she heard me on the radio So she pulled out a pen, wrote her number said if I want trouble I should let her know I tried to be nice but that was no good So I made sure my shoes were tied and I ran as fast as I could Yeah she wants trouble (trouble), Oh she wants gold (gold, gold) Yeah she wants love (love), Or so I'm told (that's what I'm told) So she goes out, all alone Oh and I don't mind a good time, but I'm not tryin' to take you home So I made my way out to the alley and I found some guys makin'’ lines And I could’n't see anything else but an old dead end street sign I had to decline I got to say no So I turned around on the spot but it seems there's no place to go They wanna get high (high), they wanna get low (low, low) Tryin' to feel alive (feel alive), or so I'm told (That's what I'm told) So they go out, never go to bed Oh and I don't mind a good time, but I'm not tryin' to lose my head (Drum Break) (Saxophone Solo) I went out real late one night ‘ 'cause I heard there was a band in town So I jumped into my car and joined everybody heading down They got dressed up Came from all around And you know I overheard ’'em all saying that they really do dig the sound Yeah they want swing (ooh that swing), oh they want soul (soul, soul) Give me the blues (blues), give me that rock and roll (rock and roll) That's why I go out, late at night Oh and I don't mind a good time if the music's outta sight Give it to me now Yeah they want jazz, oh they want funk give me that hip-hop, give me that rock, rock, rock, rock and roll Give it to me now...

Yeah I tried so hard, so many times But you always thought, that I was out of line But now that I've got you, it's alright Chorus: It's been a long time comin' It's been a long time comin' It's been a long time comin' now baby, I've got you I've got you Well I chased you around, I must've looked like a fool And I always knew babe, that you were just too cool But now that I've got you, it's alright (Chorus) (Saxophone Solo) (Chorus)

As the clock ticks down to midnight And the wind begins to blow There's a place down on the corner and tonight I'm gonna go and I'm starting to feel strange, as that girl comes walkin' my way Chorus: In the witching hour I feel I'm under some kind of power I do confess, my mind is a mess Because she moves so good in that black dress As the time winds down to nowhere and she locks those eyes on you the lights are burning softly there's nothing you can do Somebody break her spell, what she's doin' oh I just can't tell (Chorus) (Guitar and Saxophone Solo) (Chorus) I feel you comin' from a mile away (x3) I feel you comin' (Chorus)

As I Pass By 03:46
All so close but can't see each other's eyes and none can seem to speak without telling lies yeah, you wouldn't want to see through their disguise So we all remain unknown as I pass by Chorus: And they all crawl in like the lights suggest to become one of the silhouettes I cover my ears, close my eyes and we all remain unknown, as I pass by I walk around the streets to where the lights are dim The signs outside invite you to come on in and take your seat before the show begins yeah, and take your seat, the show's about to begin (Chorus) (Instrumental Break) (Chorus)

Lose My Mind 03:21
I've got a hi-hat, and low shoes I've got a good time, and bad news I've got a right turn, on a wrong road If you catch me out late, won't you please, take me home Aren't you gonna knock me out, spin me round, hold me down, come on baby I was gonna waste my time, wait in line, watch the signs, come on and make me Chorus: Lose My mind oh lose my mind yeah lose my mind I've got a window, and no room I've got an open door, waiting for you I've got the lights off, but I’m turnin'’ on If you find me at home, won't you please, take me out Aren't you gonna knock me out, spin me round, hold me down, come on baby I was gonna waste my time, wait in line, watch the signs, come on and make me (Chorus) (Guitar Solo)

She's a crocodile with a big wide smile and I've got no place to run She's a laser-guided atom bomb, but she looks like a lot of fun and she's got a lot of comers, but I wanna be her only one Chorus: Any way you do it baby Any way you do it now Any way you do it baby Come on, won't you show me how If I get my way we're goin' out tonight 'Cause everything she does, she does it right and if somebody gets in my way, I'll put up a fight (Chorus) (Guitar Solo) Well I'm taken girl and I'll tell you the truth, I want you 'Cause I can't take it when you do the things you do So come on let's take one and one and make two yeah yeah yeah (Chorus x2) Come on, won't you show me how Come on, won't you show me how

She never wears her shirts too low No her jeans never fit too tight But I'll be damned if I don't know That the girl is alright But other guys don’t seem to care and I couldn't tell you why 'Cause I just stop and stare Every time she walks by Chorus: I'm not saying that you can't, but you won't break me down with just your sex appeal And I'm sure, that it's true Girl you really could if you wanted to But you're too refined, for that game and it's got me wanting you every night and day, hey hey hey Well she's got just what I want She's everything I need And it's plain to see that the girl's got a hold on me And late at night when I'm wondering If you're all alone And I'm tryin' to find a way, babe to make you all my own (Chorus) (Drum break) (Guitar solo) But other guys don't seem to care and I couldn't tell you why 'Cause I just stop and stare Every time she walks by (Chorus)
