1,2,3
Walked in thru the brass door
Of an unassuming bar
Bought a drink, mixed around
Same routine so far
I saw her, she saw me
Then she smiled openly
I sat too long
The chance was gone
But she didn't wait
Saw me hesitate
She drew right in

I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love

Said she'd seen to many
Mixed up scenes before
To ever think of love
Til tonight, you walked in
I saw you, you saw me
You got those things I've never seen
Said she knew I'd take all night to make a move
She had more in sight than being polite
I said, me too

I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love

Oh baby what'cha do to me
Everything feels alright
I never knew it could be this way
Til we got lucky that night
I'm in you, you're in me
Just one thought, just one need
Then I knew what it was I had to do
Cause it came to me
That all I need in life, is you

I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Love
I'm in love

. . .


Burned down on the boulevard
Livin' so fast and sweet and hard
Don'tcha try and shoot me down
Don't intend to stick around

Gotta move, move on down the road
Gotta move, move on down the road

It's a gas when you got the dice
Been to heaven maybe once or twice
Lookin' for love but love don't last
Got no time for no candy-ass

Gotta move, move on down the road
Gotta move, move on down the road
Well come on, I got time for makin' love

Gotta move, gotta move on down the road
Gotta move, gotta move on down the road
Gotta move, gotta move on down the road
Gotta move, gotta move on down the road

Repeat 1st verse

Gotta move, move on down the road
Gotta move, move on down the road

Come on, give me some Motown love
Come on, got time for makin' love
Come on, got time for makin' love
Well come on, got time for makin' love
Come on, come on, come on

Takes A Lot Of People

[No lyrics]

It's been a Long time, for a little while
I think I'm in over My Head...
Deep Thought, that's what I've been through
I don't think I'll be here again...

It's a one-way street, and I can't refuse
Nothing left, to lose...
I'll just disappear, into atmosphere
You can read it in the news!

(Chorus)
The only thing that I know for sure
is we're all gonna die...
Just be glad you had the chance
and so have I....

To live a Long time, for a little while
A moment, that's all it lasts...
The future Ends, where the past begins
it's just a lifetime beginning to end

(solo)

(Chorus)

(solo)

Long legs Sally's got a million moves
She broke their hearts, what could they do?
Other guys bought you, some even drewl
She winks, they spend, she's cool

Shot gun Charlie brought the long term snoose
We kicked him out, it wasn't booze
Back down the alley where they play the blues
??? ??? ??? we loose
Allways get the urge to go, meet the guys
And see the show, when the sun goes down

Seems we never get let down
Nothing slow about this old town
Everybody knows

Street action - born in the night
Street action - robs in the light
Street action - born in the night
Street action - ready to fight

Stand on the corner we'll take you
It's allright

??? ??? Sally got the tree time right, right out
??? ???Hey what a sight
Family liconln ??? ????
Family tractions tonight
Allways get the urge to go, meet the guys
And see the show, when the sun goes down

Seems we never get let down
Nothing slow about this old town
Everybody knows

Street action - born in the night
Street action - robs in the light
Street action - born in the night
Street action - ready to fight

Street action - born in the night
Street action - robs in the light
Street action - born in the night
Street action - ready to fight

Stand on the corner it's allright

I remember a time
when you said you were mine,
and how we'd go out together.
But now that's all gone,
and i'm singing this song,
hoping that you're feeling better.

I was such a fool,
to think we'd last forever.
You turned your heart away.
So now i'm leaving;
I'm going away.
I think you're gonna miss me,
someday.

You said "we're living a lie."
So you said we should try
something that barely succeeded.
It didn't work out,
cause you were all about,
all of my friends, and you cheated.

I was so blind,
to think we'd work it out.
You had it all your way.
Now i'm leaving,
I'm going away.
I'm sure you're gonna miss me,
Someday.

How long has it been,
since the sun has come in?
How long has it been stormy weather?
It all feels so sad, cause it turned out so bad.
We just couldn't make it together.
Playing with my mind,
you're hiding all the answers.
You've thrown it all away.

So now i'm leaving;
I'm going away.
I know you're gonna miss me,
SOMEDAY
