      1.1. Ravishing
 
 
When the sun is burning out
And the night is pouring in
Now is the time to run, run boy
Now is the time to hide
There's nobody out on the beach
There's nobody down in the woods
We're gonna do it alone
We're gonna do it outside
And I can feel the air it's sticking to our skin so tight
And I can feel there's something in this air to night -
- I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
But it's still so good, so good
That I got at all and it was
Ravishing, ravishing
And I love to see the moonlight
See it shimmer down my dress
It's so ravishing, ravishing
And the wind is like a finger
Tracing ptterns on your chest
You're so ravishing
And i know
This is the season that we make our move
This is the season we've got something to prove
And this is the season I've got something to love
Oh, it's now or it's never
So now and forever, we're
Ravising, ravishing
Oh-wo-wo
Ravising, ravishing
Oh-wo-wo
Ravising, ravishing oh-wo-wo
It's all right
We'll be ravishing each other
		till the end of this endless night
It's all right, so right, it's all right, so right
And if an angel broke his wings
Would he come to you, for parts
I need a couple of wings boy, boy
I need a reason to soar

And if a devil lost his fire
Could he count on you for sparks
There's something we ought to try now
We ought to try it same more -
- Than anything I ever wanted was to see the light
And there's a chance that we'll be glowing
				in the dark tonight
I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
i really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
But it still felt good - so good -
- Just to get it at all, and it's so
Ravishing, ravishing
- And i can't believe the way
		the stars are shooting through your hair
You're so ravishing, ravishing
& it's just my luck tonight I don't have anything to wear
We're so ravishing
This is the season that we make our move
This is the season we've got something to prove
This is the season I've got something to lose
And all we ever really needed was
Ravising, ravishing
Oh-wo-wo
Ravising, ravishing
Oh-wo-wo
Ravising, ravishing oh-wo-wo
It's all right
We'll be ravishing each other
			till the end of this endless night
It's all right, so right, it's all right, so right
 
 
      1.2. If You were a Woman (And I was a Man)
 
 
How's it feel to be a woman
How's it feel to be a man
Are we really that different
Tell me were you stand
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another way
Oh baby for just one day
If you were a woman and I was a man
would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man
How's it feel to be th hunter
How's it feel to be the pray
Is there really a reason
For this game we play
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another day
Oh darling, just one day

If you were a woman and I was a man
would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man
Hey, we're just two people trying to love
Oh but how, how can we love
With this wall between us, holding us back
If you were a woman and I was a man
would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man
 
 
      1.3. Loving You's  a  Dirty  Job  (But  Somebody's
           Gotta Do It)
 
 
Girl:	When the sky is falling and you're looking round
	For some no here to hide
	Did you ever call out to someone
	Did you ever call out to me, I've never been gone-
	I've been right here by your side
	There ain't nothin' but clouds
	There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes
	Why don't you believe it
			when you finally found the truth
	You're been drinking poison water
				from the fountain of youth
	Why don't you stop tearing up everyone
					you need the most
	You're so busy trying to get even
	You never even try to get close
	I can't explain it away
	It doesn't make any sense
	To know what it's like
	I guess you gotta go through it
	It doesn't matter baby
	Loving you's a dirty job
	But somebody's gotta do it
Boy:	There were times when we'd never fake it
	There were times when we'd always make it
	There were times when we'd take it to the limit
	And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone
	We were flesh and blood and bone
	There were times we had it all
	There were times we had it all
Both:	There were times when we took our chances
(Alt/	There were times we were damn good dancers
Same)	There were times we heard all the answers
	In the beating of the drummer
	And the rickes of the rock and the roll
	I can see right through your soul
	There were times we had it all
	There were times we had it all

Boy:	If your fears could only be forgotten
	We could pull all of the barriers down
	Would you follow your dream's desire
	Would you follow your secret dreams
	and forbidden fire
	Let's just peel out of this town
Both:	It's been nothing but dreams
	It's been nothing but dreams until now
Boy:	You're never gonna see it
Both:	You got your head stuck in the sand
Boy:	It's the land of the free and easy street
Girl:	It's the home of the damned
Boy:	You're never gonna see it
Both:	You better open up your eyes
Girl:	You're the only one who's left -
Both:	Who's gonna believe all your lies
Boy:	I can't explain it away
	It doesn't make any scense
Both:	To know what's like
	I guess you gotta go through it
	It doesn't matter baby
Girl:	Loving you's a dirty job
	But somebody's gotta do it
Boy:	There were times when our bodies glistened
	There were times that we can't stop missing
	There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
Both:	To the pounding, pounding chorus
	of our desperate hearts
	Nothing could have torn us apart
	There were times we had it all
	There were times we had it all
Girl:	There were times when we fought like tigers
	There were times we were damn good liars
Boy:	There were times we extinguished ever fire
Both:	That was burning, burning, burning up
	each other alive
	From the heavens on down to the dives
	There were times we lost it all
	There were times we lost it all
Girl:	There were times when we fought like tigers
	There were times we were damn good liars
Boy:	There were times when our bodies glistened
	There were times that we can't stop missing
	There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
Both:	To the pounding, pounding chorus
	of our desperate hearts
	Nothing could have torn us apart
	There were times we had it all
	There were times we had it all

      1.4. No Way to Treat a Lady
 
 
You can please me
You can sweet talk and lead me on
But believe me
Yon't be long till I'm catching on
Now you left me here with nothing
And you put my love on hold
Well there must be something behind those eyes
Because I believe evere lie you told
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't no way to treat a lady
I could of sworm that you'd had enough
So you leave me
Well I'm lonely and in despair
It intrigues me
How you don't really seem to care
Well I ain't here for nothing
And my love doesn't come that cheap
I will hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't no way to treat a lady
I could of sworm that you'd had enough
You can tease me
You can sweet talk and lead me on
But believe me
Won't be long till I'm catching on
For I ain't here for nothing
And my love doesn't come that cheap
I will hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep
 
 
      1.5. Band of Gold
 
 
Now that you're gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the memories
Of what love could be
If you were
Still here with me
You took me form the shelter of a mother I had never known
The love of any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night on our honey moon
We stayed in separate rooms
I waited in the darkness of my lonely rook
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'd walk back through that door
And love me
Liked you tried before

Since you've been gone
all that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me
Since you've been gone
all that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
 
 
      1.6. Rebel without a Clue
 
 
You're a tough tail-gunner in a pitch chevy
Cruising in the moonlight
Ooh your aim is steady
Your eyes are hungry and your hands are ready
You shot me where you wanted
You put me in a daze
No matter where you're going, you'll always be a stranger
Getting into trouble, getting off on danger
Riding out of town like a cool lone ranger
When there's nothing to lose,you gotta call your own plays
Did anybody say something incredibly stupid
Like there isn't any paradise
But I remember the songs and I remember the story
I remember the thrills and I remember the glory
So hold me - hold me in your aims
Deliver me from growing old
Hold me - hold me in your aims
Shelter me from going cold
I'm a shot in the dark without you
A rebel without clue
Rebel without clue
I don't know what to say and I don't know what to do
Standing on the corner in my boots and my leather
A little over the edge, a little under the weather
Just a rebel without a clue
I'm tired and lonely and crying for you
I know just when to sulk and I know just how to pose
Dirty Harry to Madonna
I've been learning all the roles
So hold me baby, hold me a little louger
Need me baby just a little stronger tonight
Move it darling move a little quicker
Prove it darling blood is really thicker tonight
Drive on darling drive a little father
Dream on darling dream a little harder tonight
Teach me baby teach me how to love you
Without me you're just another rebel without a clue

It's been a long hot Summer and it's just the beginning
So keep our motor running and your tires spinning
So many pleces that I've wanted to be in
Take me where you're going - away beyond above -
We'll see a little action, relieve a little tension
Stuff I'd like to try that I shouldn't even mention
I've gone so far that - I'm way beyond redemption
There's nothing to it really - I think they call it love
Did anybody say something incredibly stupid
Like there isn't any paradise
But I remember the songs and I remember the story
I remember the thrills and I remember the glory
So hold me - hold me in your aims
Deliver me from growing old
Hold me - hold me in your aims
Shelter me from going cold
I'm a shot in the dark without you
A rebel without clue
Rebel without clue
I don't know what to say and I don't know what to do
Standing on the corner in my boots and my leather
A little over the edge, a little under the weather
Just a rebel without a clue
I'm tired and lonely and crying for you
I know just when to sulk and I know just how to pose
Dirty Harry to Madonna
I've been learning all the roles
So hold me baby, hold me a little louger
Need me baby just a little stronger tonight
Move it darling move a little quicker
Prove it darling blood is really thicker tonight
Drive on darling drive a little father
Dream on darling dream a little harder tonight
Teach me baby teach me how to love you
Without me you're just another rebel without a clue
So hold me baby, hold me a little louger
Need me baby just a little stronger tonight
Move it darling move a little quicker
Prove it darling blood is really thicker tonight
Drive on darling drive a little father
Dream on darling dream a little harder tonight
Teach me baby teach me how to love you
Without me you're just another rebel without a clue
 
 
      1.7. Lovers Again
 
 
I got pctures of you in funny poses
Letters from you with pressed yellow roses
I've got souvenirs of fun times together
And I'll cherish those years and you can let I'm forever
I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one in the end, I was your friend
Lovers again

I got pictures of you with stolen kisses
We looked so young and so full of promise
And we had those dreams
But they're not forgotten
Cause I'll build that house with the yellow rose garden
I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one in the end, I was your friend
Lovers again
There's a pictures of you in yesterday's paper
With that smile I knew and the new name you've taken
And I'll live each day without being bitter
Cause we weren't that way
And I know it's not over
I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one in the end, I was your friend
Lovers again
The One waiting there and in the end
We'll be lovers again
 
 
      1.8. Holding out for a Hero
 
 
Where have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need
(Chorus)
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me of my feet
(Chorus)
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lighting splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood.
