Every Rose Has its Thorn

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
we feel miles apart, inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say
CHORUS:
Every Rose Has It's Thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every Roes Has It's Thorn

I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
if I could have let you known somehow, I guess

CHORUS

Though it's been a while now
I still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you
the wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

SOLO

I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of making love
we both made our seprate ways

Now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

CHORUS



Fallen Angel


She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't shine as 
Bright as they did
On her mama's TV screen
And the work seemed harder 
And the days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be

But you know you got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win
Tail you're gonna lose

*Win big - mama's fallen angel
Lose big - Livin' out her lies
Wants it all - mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life*

Now she found herself in the fast lane
Livin' day to day
Turned her back on her best friends, yeah
And watched her family slip away
Just like a lost soul
Caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and limousines

Such a good actress
Hiding all her pain
Trading in memories for fortune and fame
Just a step away from the edge of the fall
Caught between Heaven and Hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago

*Chorus*

Too much too soon
Or just a little too late
'Cause when her ship came in
She wasn't there and it just wouldn't wait

(lead)

*Chorus*



Nothin' but a good time

Now listen
Not a dime I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it thru the week
Saturday night I like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet
PRE-CHORUS:
I'm always workin', slavin' everyday
Gotta get a breaK From that same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

CHORUS:
Don't need Nothin' But A Good Time
How can I resist
Ain't looking for Nothin' But A Good Time
And it don't get better than this

They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm real sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breaking our backs everyday
If wanting the good life is such a crime
Lord then put me away

SOLO
CHORUS x3



Your Mama Don't Dance


CHORUS:
Your Mama Don't Dance and you dady don't
rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your dady don't
rock and roll
But when evening rolls around and it's time to
hit the town
where do you go-you gotta rock it
The old folks say that ya gotta end your date
by ten
But if you're out on a date don't
you bring her home late 'cause
it's a sin
You know there's no excuse
You know you're gonna lose, you never win
I'll say it again

CHORUS
SOLO

You see I pulled into a drive-in and
found a place to park
We hopped into the back seat where it's
always nice and dark
I'm just about to move hinking to myself
Mmm Jeff this is a breeze
Then there was a light in my eye and a guy says
Out of the car long hair
Oowee-you're comig with me
said the local police

CHORUS

Play me a little, C.C.

CHORUS OUT



Unskinny Bop

What's got you so jumpy
Why can't you sit still
Like gasoline you want to pump me
And leave me when you get your fill, ya
Every time I touch you, you get hot
I want to make love, you never stop
Come up for air you pull me to the floor
Just what's been going on in that head of yours
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just love to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say
You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting oh so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
Am I just another word in your page ya, ya
Every time I touch you, you get hot
I want to make love, you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
Just what's been going on in that head of yours
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just love to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say
You're saying my love won't do ya
But that ain't love written on your face
Well honey I can see right through ya
We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race
Solo
What's right, what's wrong, what's left, what the hell is going on
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just love to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say



Something to believe in

Will I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But Lord I think he sinned
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country did not want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife, his kids no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
He cries forgive me for what I've done there
Forgive me for the things I did
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty 
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile, it fades again
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then
Road you got to take me home
Solo
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath an old broken down neon sign, used to read JESUS SAVES
A mile away lived the rich folk
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich drink from the golden cup
And it just makes me wonder why so many lose while so few win
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
Things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in


Talk Dirty to Me

You know I never

I never seen you look so good

You never act the way you should

But I like it

And I know you like it too

The way that I want you

I gotta have you

Oh yes, I do

You know I never

I never ever stay out late

You know that I can hardly wait

Just to see you

And I know you cannot wait

Wait to see me too

I gotta touch you

Chorus:

Cause baby we'll be

At the drive-in

In the old man's Ford

behind the bushes

till I'm screamin' for more

Down the basement

lock the cellar door

And baby

Talk dirty to me

You know I call you

I call you on the telephone

I'm only hoping that you're home

So I can hear you

When you say those words to me

And whisper so softly

I gotta hear you

Chorus

C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me

Solo, Chorus out



I Want Action

I want action tonight

Satisfaction all night

I grab my hat and I 

grab my shoes

Tonight I'm gonna hit 

the streets and cruise

Down the main strip and 

check it out

With those schoolgirls 

a hangin' around

Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face

I don't care if she's in leather or lace

cause I'm just lookin' for a little kiss

Chorus:

I want action tonight

satisfaction all night

You've got the love I need tonight

Long legs and short skirts

These girls hit me where it hurts

I can't wait to get my hands on them

I won't give up until they give in

Now I'm not lookin' for a love that lasts

I need a shot and I need it fast

If I can't have her, I'll take her and make her

Chorus, solo

Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here

No, not in the front, jump in the back

Why?

Cause there's something back there I want to show ya

I want action tonight

Satisfaction all night

Ah, come on honey, I wasn't that bad!

Oh, well

Chorus out
