Early Works

I was lonely
When you left long ago
I was shattered
And the pain hurt me so...
And not only
Was i empty within
I was careful not to
Do it all again
It's deceiving
That you care for the ones
Who really need it
But they go take off and run
Now i'm believing
In myself once more
Because i found someone
Who opens up the door

You made me cry
But she has made me laugh
She makes me whole
But you tore me in half
She makes me feel
I'm sexy...i'm hot...
I hope you're jealous
Because i have got...

Somebody else... somebody else...
Who'll know, she makes my telephone ring
Somebody else... somebody else...
Who really is a sweet thing

Now, your boyfriend
He's left you alone
And you call me...
But i won't answer the phone
So go and suffer
Like you made me do
I'm sorry if i'm laughing at you
You're guilty
For calling a split
Because it was time...
But now, you can't handle it
When i saw you
All alone in the bar
You were busy drinking
Whisky by the jar

You made me cry
But she has made me laugh
She makes me whole
But you tore me in half
She makes me feel
I'm sexy... i'm hot...
I hope you're jealous
Because i have got...

Somebody else... somebody else...
Who'll know, she makes my telephone ring
Somebody else... somebody else...
That girl, she really is a sweet thing

Somebody else... somebody else...
Ohh!
Somebody else... somebody else...
Ohh!

Somebody else... somebody else...
That girl, she really is a sweet thing
Somebody else... somebody else...
Hey, that pretty girl, she makes my telephone ring...
Somebody else... somebody else...
Oh, yeah!

B-baby, put your clothes on and run...
You better hide before your momma finds you
And listen to me...
B-baby, can't you see that i am stung
And didn't she tell ya that i was, yeah...
Low down and mean.
Baby, i guess - i brushed off the rules in my life
I was born outside a stonewall jethouse
And thrown back to the sea
Baby, i've got to eat my steak raw...
I'm only here to make a living
I don't need your sympathy

Oh, get up and run...
Better hide yourself
From the man they call
'the devil with a gun'
Get up and run
Can't see you fall into the hands
Of the public enemy number one

B-baby, watch out
I won't do you no harm
I just need a little loving
Some two-time company
Baby, you've got your good looking charm
Just keep me satisfied with your...
Two-faced ecstasy

Oh, get up and run...
Better hide yourself
From the man they call
'the devil with a gun'
Get up and run
Can't see you fall into the hands
Of the public enemy number one

Baby, you tried
To hold me much too long
I don't want no conversation
I'm a simpleton - feel and do
Baby, i guess you treated me wrong
I'm a wildcat - you're a tiger
But i wear my devil shoes

Baby, get up
And put them old red jeans on
But be here before the night starts turning
Back into the day
Baby, why don't you get up and run
If you listen very closely...
I can hear your momma say

Oh, get up and run...
You better hide yourself
From the man they call
'the devil with a gun'
Get up and run
Can't see you fall into the hands
Of the public enemy number one

Aahhh...

The last time i saw you
You were reflection of the time
'twas all very selfish...
Memories of nonchalance sublime
Those times...

But all those days have come and gone...

The day that you left me...
Caused me to search for what went wrong
Your new liberation
You burn your cup i filled at times
So long

But all those days have come and gone...
The curtains rise on a new dawn...

Long, long way
To your heart again
Long, long way
Throw caution to the wind...
Someday i could hold your hand

We're older and wiser
But your generation's revolution grow
Stripped my security,
And halted a sexual evolution
Confusion.
My apologies are in this song...
Maybe you'll forgive me before long

Long, long way
To your heart again
Long, long way
Throw caution to the wind...
Someday i could hold your hand

The last time i saw you
You were a reflection of the time...

Hurrah, the evening...
It's about quarter to five
I clean up my desk
And i don't want to hear no jive
My boss just asked me
"how 'bout working' late?"
I told him: "it's friday...
You know i've got a date."

Six o'clock, and i'm almost through...
I took a shower, shaved...
And put on my blue suede shoes
Picked up my lady,
And headed down the street
"before we go to the disco, baby...
How 'bout something' to eat?"

This is what i did...
Jumped in the disco
Everything starts coming alive...
My baby, swinging'...
She's doing the funky jive...
Everybody dancing
Out there on the floor
The dj asked the mania:
"you want to hear some more, yeah?"

You know it's weekend, baby
You got to have some fun
Yeah, yeah - you know it's weekend, baby
'til monday morning comes...

Hey, hey, hey
Nothing's going to stop us, baby
We're having our fun tonight...
When we boogie on down to the disco light
The rhythm beat is going to make it all right
You can hear my heart when it falls apart
From the way you move your lips
Jump up, babyface, and dance some more
Let me see you shake those hips
Everybody now...

(i'm going to do it to my baby tonight!)

The weekend's through
It's monday morning at eight
I can't go to bed
Because i can't be at work too late
Sitting in the office
With a dropping head
Can't wait 'til friday
'til the weekend again!

You know it's weekend, baby
You got to have some fun
Yeah, yeah - you know it's weekend, baby
'til monday morning comes...

Don't call me up - don't call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
Don't call me up - don't call me up
Don't call me on the telephone

I am the captain,
But you just don't give a damn about my fantasy
You dial my number,
When i'm dreaming' of the places that i like to be
I have been all over in the world
From east to west - i've seen those smiling' geisha girls
A place beyond the boundaries of hell -
Mansions you've never seen or smelled

Don't call me up...
Don't call me up - don't call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
Don't call me up...
Don't call me up - don't call me up
Don't call me up...
Don't call me on the telephone

I am the captain,
I'll remind you of the fact i don't need no company
I don't want to buy ya
To release me from my daydream, and this fantasy
I have been upon the 7 seas
I've seen the world and all its treasuries
Let me introduce you to the members of the band...
Oh, i forgot...they're sitting dry - on land.

Don't call me up...
Don't call me up - don't call me up
(yeah...yeah)
Don't you call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
I don't want you to call me up...

Don't you call me up
Don't call me up - don't call me up
Hey...
Don't call me on the telephone

I have been all over in the world
From east to west - i've seen, i've seen those smiling' geisha girls
A place beyond the boundaries of hell -
Mansions you've never seen or smelled
So don't call me up

Don't call me up - don't call me up
No! he's...i'm...no i'm not home...
Just leave me alone...
Don't call me up when you're alone
Please, don't call here again...
