Second Decade Of Rock & Roll

So you figure that you've got him all figured out
He's a sweet talkin stud
Who can melt a girl's heart with his pout
He's the kind of lover that the ladies dream about

He's got plenty of cash
He's got plenty of friends
He drives women wild
Then he drives off in a mercedes-benz
He's got a long wick with a flame at both ends
He's hot

But don't let him go
Just give him a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go

He makes you so angry
He makes you so sore
The weight may be worth it
But how can you wait anymore
When you're wonderin what you're waitin' for
Baby i don't know

But don't let him go
He just needs a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go
Don't let him go

(solo)

Live it up, and let it go
Your time is up before you know
In a world full of wonder
Don't let your troubles pull you under

You're telling me your life is tough
And what you need is stronger stuff
Well you can live under sedation
Or get up and cause an overnight sensation

Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It's right there for you to take it

You sit and watch your mtv
You dream away in a fantasy
If you don't dig the situation
Then get a guitar and rock the nation

You can't hold back once you light the fuse
And if it feels alright, then let it roll
You got nothin to lose

Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It's right there for you to take it

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet i'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish i had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that i can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause i feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear


And even as i wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And i'm getting closer than i ever thought i might

And i can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what i started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause i can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what i started fighting for
And if i have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, i can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since i saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that i'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone i'd never find

And even as i wander i'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And i'm getting closer than i ever thought i might

And i can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what i started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever


Cause i can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what i started fighting for
And if i have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, i can't fight this feeling anymore.

She doesn't like the tough guys.
They think that they can do anything they please.
But they're gonna get a surprise,
When she brings them to their knees.

'cus she doesn't like the rough guys.
They act like they can have any girl they choose.
They've got tricks, but my baby got wise,
So in case you haven't heard the news,

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She doesn't like the rough guys.
So find some one you own size,
'cus she's not afraid of you.

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She thinks that they've got brains all where they sit.
They think they're full of fire,
She thinks they're full of shit.

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She says she's heard enough lies.
She's gonna call your bluff, guys.
And you better believe it's true.

She don't like you.

My love is a rock, an immovable force
Anywhere that you are, my love is right here
With any tick of the clock
Life can change it's course
But my love will not
My love is a rock

Headed out into uncharted waters
What you feel is your only guide
And each step that you take brings you closer
Just trust what you feel inside
Cause something's telling you to keep on going
Telling you that your aim is true
Could be the voice of reason, or just blind devotion
Whatever it is, it's calling out to you, singing....

Chorus

Mixed messages shoot through a wire
Tender turmoil in your voice
Change is spreading through you like a fire
Bridges are burning, you made your choice
And as you're searching for peace in your world
You may find yourself spinning around, and around, and around
While the pain you've endured
Only serves to make you surer
Of the strength you have found, and then....

Chorus

You may not be looking for love, but love may find you
You may choose to close your eyes and run
You may leave love far behind you
In your eyes i can see the future
In your heart i can always trust
In your mind i will live on forever
In your arms i will turn to dust
These are feelings like i have never known
The song of my very soul
I can no longer silently sing it
I'm gonna take it to the mountain and let it roll singing.....

My love is a rock, an immovable force
Anywhere that you are, my love is right here
With any tick of the clock
Life can change it's course
Some things are here and then gone before you know
Some things disappear without a chance to grow
But my love will not
My love is a rock

You have said as much as you can say
Your heart is just about to overflow
Must be something more i can do
Some new plateau
I'm listening to you
Dying to know
Everything that your feeling
Every change you undergo
Just don't tell me that you love me
Because i do' wanna know

I do' wanna know how much you love me
I do' wanna know how much you care
I do' wanna, i do' wanna, i do' wanna know
I do' wanna do what i'm supposed to
I do' wanna wear what i'm supposed to wear
I do' wanna, i do' wanna, i do' wanna know

You are gonna do what you must do
You are gonna go where you want to go
You are gonna hear what you hear
Fear what you fear
Don't say a word
Don't let it show
You will be what you will be
You will reap everything you sow
Just don't tell me that you love me
Because i do' wanna know

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin

And though i know all about those men
Still i don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And i meant, every word i said
When i said that i love you i meant
That i love you forever

And i'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing i wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you

(solo)

And i meant every word i said
When i said that i love you i meant
That i love you forever

(chorus)

Live every moment - love every day
'cus before you know it your precious time slips away.
Live every moment - love every day
'cause if you don't you might just throw your love away.

I walked for seven miles this mornin'. footprints in the sand.
Washed away without a warning when the water hit the land.
But i will walk on 'til i can no longer stand.
I'll take you by the hand and we'll...

Live every moment - love every day
'cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

There's water in the wind tonight.
There's a chill in the air.
It's coolin' down my skin tonight
Soakin' through your hair.
There's warmth enough within' tonight
For both of us to share.
We can take it anywhere. and we'll...

Live every moment - love every day
'cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

Sometimes i wish we could take a trip far away.
Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day.
I will search for that place but 'til i find it all i can say is...

Live every moment - and love every day

Talkin' 'bout a hot-wired kid who thought he knew it all
And what he didn't know, he didn't need to
Changin' women like tires when their use wore thin
Retread feelings, that's all we knew
He's been runnin' lights for years, grindin' down those forward gears
He's got a lady in the back seat, lady in the front seat
Eyes on the road and whispers in both ears

Chorus: one too many girlfriends, and too little feeling left
He better find the one, he's gonna take on the run, before it runs him down
He's got far too many choices, he better make a few of them
He wants to have it all, and wind up standin' tall
I hope his dream never ends, i guess it just depends
He's got one too many girlfriends

Well there's so damn much writin' written on his walls
I can't imagine that he doesn't read it
Such a loud clear message screaming through the halls
Keep your advice, he don't need it
He's heard of living up to the truth, thinks it means giving up his youth
He doesn't wanna get a haircut, looking for a shortcut
He needs a change, he needs more than a phone booth

Chorus

Whooo, there's anger and romance at every turn
Whooo, be careful boy that you don't crash and burn
You're in about as deep as you can get
It's a matter of time before you get wet
I wouldn't be in your shoes on a bet

(solo)

He's been runnin' lights for years, grindin' down those forward gears
He's got a lady in the back seat, lady in the front seat
Eyes on the road and whispers in both ears

Chorus

He's got one too many girlfriends... look out!
