Well I've been around here for way too long
It's really time to go
But there's reasons for my madness
Though it doesn't show
I sit and wait and contemplate what am I gonna say
When the telephone rings I hear her voice
She speaks that special way
Alright now, little sister
Wait all night for the call
She's alright with me

She's so hot, she's on fire
Oo little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oo little sister
Sun goes down when she gets up
I don't think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister, little sister

Something's flowing through my veins
What it is I don't know
It's a three alarm fire in my heart
Hope it doesn't show
Call the doctor, call the judge
Justice of the Peace
Pluck this flower in full bloom
This relative's no niece
Alright now, little sister
Wait all night for the call

She's alright with me
She's so hot, she's on fire
Oo little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oo little sister
Sun goes down when she gets up
I don't think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister, little sister

I'm at the crossroads waiting for a call
Back against the wall again
But I'm not just expecting anyone
When I get the call that says it all
She says yeah (Robin, I'll be right over)

She's so hot, she's on fire
Oo little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oo little sister
Sun goes down when she gets up
I don't think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister, little sister

Oo, I like it when you talk dirty to me

She's so hot, she's on fire
Oo little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oo little sister
Sun goes down when she gets up
I don't think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister, little sister

(Repeat to Coda)

Time's not sleeping and time won't lose
You can't win 'cause time can't lose
So stop (so stop) what you're doin'
Start on something new
Don't (no don't) don't be hypnotized
Don't start thinkin' with your eyes

(I don't know) Why you mean that much to me
(You don't know) What it feels like lovin' you
(We all know) A change is good for you
(That's all right) Gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway

All I want is a place in your heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you

Time's not sleeping and time won't lose
You can't win 'cause time can't lose
So stop (so stop) what you're doin'
Start on something new
Don't (no don't) don't be hypnotized
Don't start thinkin' with your eyes

(I don't know) Why you mean that much to me
(You don't know) What it feels like lovin' you
(We all know) A change is good for you
(That's all right) Gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway

All I want is a place in your heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you

Come to my world
Come away with me
Smile with your eyes
So I can see

(I don't know) Why you mean that much to me
(You don't know) What it feels like lovin' you
(We all know) A change is good for you
(That's all right) Gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway

All I want is a place in your heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you
Tonight it's you

All I want is a place in your heart to fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you
Tonight it's you, tonight's it's you

Met the girl said to me
What is it you wanna see?
See the world a different view
Trip around the world with you
See it all, special view
Over, under, sideways with you
Took a chance, ummm some romance
It was good for me was it good for you?

She's got motion, motion, motion
A love potion (for me)
Yeah, she's got it (I like it a lot)
I've got the motion
She likes it hot

Then I touched her on the spot
On the trigger, it was hot
She said "Don't stop. Don't stop, don't stop"

She's got motion, motion, motion
A love potion (for me)
Yeah, she's got it (I like it a lot)
I got the notion
She likes it hot
So hot
So hot
Hot, hot, hot, hot

It was good
No,it was great
It was wonderful
Bravo!
Congratulations go out to her
My feet never touched the ground

She's got motion, motion, motion
A love potion (for me)
Yeah, she's got it (I like it a lot)
I got the notion
She likes it hot

(Repeat and fade with ad lib)

Words and Music by Robin Zander & Rick Nielsen

Love comes 'round just in time
Something that's hard to find
Oh, no one knows what I've been goin' through
Same old song, how does it go?
Same old line, is it all we know?
And love comes 'round
In time to rescue me

Oh love!
Love comes around
Just in time
Love comes to save my heart (save my heart)
Oh love!
Love comes around
Love comes to save my heart (love comes 'round)

Love comes 'round just in time
Something that's hard to find
Oh kiss me now
You know I want you to

Oh love!
Love comes around
Just in time
Love comes to save my heart (save my heart)
Oh love!
Love comes around
Yes it does
Love comes to save my heart (love comes 'round)

Sometimes it slips on in slowly
Sometimes it makes itself lonley
Under the cover of darkness
Sometimes it feels oh so heartless
Oh love! (love comes around)

Save my heart
Love comes around (love comes around)
(Love comes around) yes it does
Love comes to save my heart (save my heart)
Oh love!
Love comes around
Love comes to save my heart (love comes 'round)
Love comes around
Love comes to save my heart

Never started out first
Never finished last
Like to change the pace
Like to change it fast
And I'm ready to try
Just can't sit around here too long
I can feel the wheels are spinning strong
Does anyone feel the same as me
Does anyone disagree
Well how 'bout you
I said goodbye to bad luck
I've had enough
But I know I'll be back, dear
Didn't fall off the side of the earth
Gonna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you

Do you like your love soft and warm
Do you like it hard, hot and long
Like you're ready to die
Sometimes I feel all wound up
Head starts spinnin', it'll never stop
Does anyone feel the same as me
Does anyone disagree
Well how 'bout you
I said bad times kiss them goodbye
I want changes, but
I know I'll be back, dear
Didn't fall off the side of the earth
Gonna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you

I know I'll be back, dear
Didn't fall off the side of the earth
Gonna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you

In the middle of the night
I had a vision
It was bigger than life
Standing on the edge of my bed
She said "Come here, don't be afraid"
Her tongue opened like a shot
Oh bang bang
Ten feet tall, laser eyes
Killer body, killer thighs
She drew me a fine line
What's wrong what's right
I didn't know what to think
She seemed to know what to drink
I was stunned by her gun
Couldn't walk, couldn't run
Well she drew me a picture
And it seemed so true
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Right here in my face
I had a vision
That was bigger than life
Oh Connie likes nighttime, every night
Connie likes candy, every bite
All day sucker, Connie might
Swallow that thing 'cause she does it right
I'm weak in the knees
I'm beggin' you please
Just ask for more
She just wants affection
My soldier's at attention
No I don't know
Why you're doin this to me
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Well she told me
In the Biblical sense
And she told me
In the strictest confidence
She told me
We were worlds apart
She told me, she told me
I don't know why I'm here
She said, "Don't be afraid"
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
You're lookin' right through my eyes
Standing on the edge
Light flashes before my eyes
Standing on the edge
And watchin' my world crash by
Love is passing by
Right before my eyes
And I wonder why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
I'm standing on the edge (Repeat and fade)

. . .



Never look back but now never lose sight
Of your past, oh no
Change every moment knowing your decisions
They just won't last, oh no

Well it's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long are the nights
It feels right turning this time around

Always the danger of falling into
A mindless shell, oh yeah
Come out of your shell don't fall into a trap
You can't get out (can't get out, can't get out)

Well it's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long cold nights
It feels like turning this time around

When it hurts that bad
You know my temperature rises
It never goes down
It's goin' up
Straight up

When it hurts that bad
You know my temperature rises
It never goes down
It's goin' up
Straight up, straight up

Gone are the days
Long are the nights
It feels right turning this time around, oh yeah

It's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long are nights
It feels right turning this time around

(Repeat to Coda)

Well the first time that I saw her it was 1979
Couldn't see her walk couldn't hear her talk
Still wish she were mine

I saw that face and saw that smile
And in a little while
I fell into a dream come true

Chorus
She's a cover girl
She lives in her own little world
I wish she was my girl
And her name was she's a cover girl
She's always in my dreams
She's never what she seems
In a fantasy world

The next time that I saw her it was on page 69
Biting her lips shaking her hips
You know she looked so fine

So I bought those books to get those looks
I could see her anytime
She's just like a dream come true

Chorus

. . .


Lookin' out for something special
Something crazy to call my own
Worked all week
Now that it's over
Yes I'm ready to bring it on
Driving to me
It'll be easy
After all that's what it's for
If the fire's too hot
Get out of the kitchen
Or do it do it do it on the floor

So get out now
Before it's too late
Don't bring me down
Don't you wait too long

Wild wild women
Make the world go round
Wild wild women
Wild wild girls

Kick your heels
Set in motion
After all they never stop
Feels so good
Must be illegal
Thats no reason to call the cops
She goes crazy
In the corner
Like some foward flash
No problems
No headaches
No troubles
That's the best

So come on now
Before it's too late
Don't bring me down
Don't you wait too long

Wild wild women
Never slow me down
Wild wild women
Wild wild girls

So get out now
Before it's too late
Don't bring me down
Don't you wait too long

Wild wild women
Got a hold on me
Wild wild women
Wild wild girls
Wild wild women
Make the world go round
Wild wild women
Wild wild girls
Will wild women
Never slow me down
Wild wild women
Will wild girls
