1. _ Kiss Him Goodbye
You know i love you
I'll always love you
Even though the tears are fallin'
From my eyes
I still remember baby when
Our love was so strong
So go on
Go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Goodbye, whoa goodbye
He doesn't love you the way that i love you
Cause if he did he wouldn't go and break your heart
He's only flirtin' baby but my love is so strong
So go on, go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye
He's never near you to comfort and cheer you
Even though the tears are fallin', fallin' from your eyes
He might be thrillin' baby but my love is ready and willin'
So go on, go ahead and kiss him
Go ahead and kiss him, oo
Go ahead and kiss him, oo
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Goodbye, whoa goodbye
Bye bye bye, goodbye, whoa goodbye bye bye
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na(repeat)
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye(repeat)

2. _ Wildfire
On the edge of town
I will wait for you
Breaking up a lonely world
I'll be satisfied
Making up another world
With you at my side
On the edge of town
I will wait for you
Breaking up is what we do
We're hurting too much
Making up is what we do
When we're needing to touch
I got ties-so do you
But i can't help myself
Whenever i see you
Running to me with your burning love
Like a wildfire
I'm caught in the flame of your burning love
It grows higher and higher
Breaking up you say goodbye
And shakin' your heart
Making up another lie
Can't keep us apart
I got ties-so do you
To somebody else
I got ties-so do you
But i can't help myself
Whenever i see you
Chorus
Ooh...how it burns me up
To my very soul
Ooh...i can't get enough
When it's burning out of control

3. _ Poison Ivy
She comes on like a rose
But everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch
You can look but you better not touch
Poison ivy
Poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison ivy comes a creepin' around
She's round
She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin
Chorus
Measles make you bumpy
And mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make youjump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya
And whoopin' cough can cool ya
But poison ivy lord'll make you itch
You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around

4. _ That Kind Of Man
People say i'm a happy go-lucky guy
When the music and wine start to flow
I go to discos and gay cabarets
Unable to let myself go
Some people live to be the life of the party
Lampshade hat and they're away to the races
So many people loving so many lovers
Takin' everybody to some strangers place
Don't get me wrong i've had my share of affairs
I've had some hot nights singin' one night stands
But right up front i think it's only fair
To tell you i've got different plans
Chorus:
That's not the way i am
I'm not that kind of man
It's not that i am shy
I'm just not that kind of guy
So if you feel the same
You're tired of playing games
Then try to understand
That i'm not that kind of man
A lot of people take their loving too lightly
They change emotions like they're changing their clothes
They come alive and thrive on new lovers nightly
How they do it i don't know, 'cause
Chorus
If you see him standing on the edge of the action
You think he's only playing it cool
He's only looking for a little sweet satisfaction
I'm tired of being somebody's fool
So if you spot me on the fringe of the party
Holding up the walls with hot and hungry eyes
Don't be afraid to say hello to a stranger
You just might like your surprise

5. _ Chain Gang
Oh don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
Oh don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
'til the sun's comin' down
Workin' on the highways and byways
And wearin' a frown
I hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say
(chorus)
Oh i work so..
I work so hard
To see my woman
Who i love so dear
But i, i've gotta work right here
(chorus)
My my my my my my my my my my
My work is so hard
Give me water
I'm thirsty
Oh i, oh my work is so hard
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say
(chorus)
I don't wanna work on that gang (repeat)

6. _ Please
Please, don't leave this way
There's still so much to say
And we could always talk together
Swallow your pride and sit down
Smooth away that frown
If we must part let's leave as friends
We were such a happy go-lucky pair
All the dreams we shared
I can't believe it's true, after all that we've been through
Please don't go
One thing i'm certain of, i have no doubt
People need each other, that's what life's about
And oh, if we can try then baby by and by
We can work it out
Please let down your guard
Life can be so hard
And we could always help each other
You've got no reason to cry
This is not goodbye
For i will always love you
My love is an open book
If you take a look you can read between the lines
I smile and say 'i'm doing fine'
Please don't go
Don't you know, baby if you go
A part of me will never be the same no more
Turn around, let's try it
Just one more time
Please don't leave me this way
There's still so much to say
And we could always talk together
You've got no reason to cry
This is not goodbye
For i will always love you
Don't you know i care
Care about you yes i do baby / i'm still your friend
What we have to share
Share a dream now there's no end / can never end
We were such a happy go-lucky pair
All the dreams we shared
I can't believe it's true
After all that we've been through
Please don't go
One thing i'm certain of, i have no doubt
People need each other, that's what life's about
And oh, if we can try then baby by and by
We can work it out
Darling please / whoa please

7. _ Stepping Stone
Chorus
She don't love you
You're just a stepping stone
You're just a stepping stone
She's one girl to leave alone
She don't love you
You're just a stepping stone
You're just a stepping stone
Believe me, you're better on your own
The love you think you see
Deep in her eyes
Is filled with misery
Her love's a lie
She's just a woman
But before the main event
She may look like an angel
But she's far from heaven sent
(beware) you're just a decoy
(take care) to reel the bigger fish in
She'll treat you like a toy
She'll break you in the end
She's playing her own game
A game you can't win
You better, you better, you better, you better watch out boy
You better, you better, you better, you better watch out boy
Chorus
As soon as another guy
Catches her eye
You'll see what's lurking
Behind her disguise
She's an illusion
She's not really real
Boy don't you be fooled
By the joy that you feel

8. _ Up On The Roof
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to take
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof's the only place i know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof
When i get home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from that hustling crowd
And all that ratrace noise down in the street
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me
I keep tellin' you that right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
And if this old world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Up on the roof

9. _ Drift Away
drift away
Day after day i'm more confused
But i look for the light thru the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that i hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame-oh
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
Beginnin' to think that i'm wasting time>br> and i don't understand the things
I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm counting on you
To carry me thru-oh
Chorus
When my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when i'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' thru to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know i believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along
You're makin' me strong

10. _ Combat Zone
In every neighbourhood
There is bad and good
Money's tight, prices overblown
They sell ecstasy
Here on avenue b
One way ticket to the combat zone
The streets are fast and tough
And if you're tough enough
Chances are you can make it on your own
Life on overdrive
You could learn to survive
Livin' life in the combat zone
Chorus
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your shoulder to the wheel
Keep your finger on the pulse
And you can make it
Keep your eye on the dice
Keep your back to the wall
One step ahead of the game
And you can make it
Here is the place, now is the time
It's up to you (get ready now)
You better be on your guard
Sometimes you're blind, you carry on
(business as usual)
How can we be so hard?
You can run away
Or, you can choose to stay
Either way, life can chill you to the bone
You know that golden rule
Don't be nobody's fool
Play it cool, in the combat zone
Chorus
Watch what you say
Watch what you do
It's up to you (get ready now)
They'll take you for a ride
Before you're bought and sold
Get it up
Get it under control (get ready now)
There's nowhere you can hide
Chorus
Can't people understand
There's a world at your command
Can't we trust one another?
What does it take to make you see
We share one destiny
And nothing lasts forever
Higher, this could be the vision
That we've both been dreamin of...
Higher, and so much brighter
Than the stars that shine above

11. _ Happy Together
Imagine me and you, i do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If i should call you up, invest a dime
And you'd say you belong to me, i'd lose my mind
Imagine how the world could be so very fine
So happy together
Chorus:
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies will be blue
For all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
Chorus
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

12. _ Bop Til You Drop
Mama said on the day i was born
There was a whole lotta shakin' goin' on
There was a party next door the people callin' out for more
And they played the boogie all night long
I was raised on a beat that was oh so sweet
Fed on the rhythm and blues
When she sent me on my way i heard my mama say
Son, don't forget your dancin' shoes
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance
(repeat)
When you're down at a party and the music's hot
And you see somebody that you like a lot
Don't fight the feelin' if the feelin's right
Take a chance and dance 'cause tonight's the night
We'll do it right
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance dance
(repeat)
Bop, bop, bop
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, da-da-dance
Back in 57 i was just a little boy
And my sister jenny sue, she was the queen of the hop
After school she'd be stackin' up her 45's
Practising her shimmy shimmy koko bop
She had to do it right 'cause come on saturday night
She was the hot girl on the floor
Mama'd catch her in the kitchen but instead of doing dishes
She'd be brushin' up her boogie on the 'frigerator door
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance dance
(repeat)
Bop, bop, bop
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance, come on and dance, dance
Da-da-dance, come on and dance, dance
Da-da-dance
Ah when it's come-a come-a doo down down pretty baby
And the music starts movin' and it's drivin' you crazy
Don't get caught just-a hangin' around
'cause you gotta get up if you wanna get down
Get up, get up, get down down down
Come on and dance, dance
Don't it make you wanna get up and dance
Bop, bop, bop
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance
Bop, bop, bop
Come on, come on, come on
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Move it 'til you lose it
Move it 'til you lose it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance, da-da-dance
Come on and dance, dance, da-da-dance
Come on and dance, dance, da-da-dance

13. _ Prince Of Darkness
Be gone, prince of darkness
Be gone, prince of darkness
You have no power
You have no power
Be gone
Be gone
I woke from a dream to a rumble of thunder
Not heard but perceived from within
A feeling inside that just can't be denied
Says the countdown is soon to begin
But in the darkest hour the human spirit
Sings ancient songs to me
The tyrants will gather to worship their master
But he will be brought to his knees
Chorus:
Be gone, prince of darkness
You have no power here
Be gone, prince of darkness
You have no power here
You have no power, you have no power here
You have no power, you have no power here
Be gone
We speak with the voice of ten million souls crying
This war that you make is not ours
You sit at the left hand of those who are lying
Seducing with hypnotic powers
But now your stone cold heart has started rumbling
A song has risen free
And we shall not stop with the laughter and singing
'til you have been swept to the sea
Chorus
We run with the spirit that moves through the city
The heart of the jungle is whole
The seekers of truth with the hot blood of youth
Together we're never alone
When every heart has finally found the courage
To love with all its might
The chains will be broken, the doors will burst open
And we shall know the power of the night
Chorus

14. _ The Stars Are Ours
Behold, the blue horizon line
We see orion rising
The stars are ours
The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and i
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
We've come a long way from andromeda
We've got a long way to go, i know, i know
Interplanetary wanderers
Like comets around the sun
We come and we go
The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and i
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Relax, the galaxies dance and spin
To the music of the spheres
No charted course for the space that we're in
The stars are ours tonight, to light the years
The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and i
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
Behold the blue horizon line
We see orion rising
The stars are ours

16. _ Up The Ladder To The Roof
Come with me, come with me
And we shall run across the sky
Illuminate the night
Oh, i will try and guide you
To better times and brighter days
Don't be afraid to go...
Chorus:
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Up the ladder to the roof
We can be closer to heaven
Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me
And we shall let expression ring
Hear freedom in our singin'
Whoa, memories of broken dreams
Don't you know, don't you know
They'll all fade away
If you go...
Chorus
Relax, i'll tell you the story of love
How it is, the happiness in it baby
We'll combine our thoughts and together we'll travel
To the fountain of loveliness
I will never never ever leave you alone to wander honey
If you go along our love is gonna grow much stronger, so much stronger
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go...
Chorus
Whoa, up the, up the, up the, up the ladder to heaven
Come on and go up the ladder to heaven
Come on and go up the ladder to heaven
