Kim Carnes Album

Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you, you won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home, it whets her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne, she got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you, roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you'll feed with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you, she'll unease you
Just to please you, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you when she snows you
She knows you, she's got Bette Davis Eyes

(Donna Weiss/Jackie DeShannon)

Hit and run
Who is the love killer
Who ruined the music we thought was so special
Like fire between us spent over and over
Who emptied my bed and left me with nothing

Hit and Run
It came so sudden
From the mouth of the kiss that whispered "forever"
From the body of the soul that made my eyes listen
I'm hearing goodbye
But I don't want to listen

Love will tear and do you on
Turn you inside out and when
All you got is less than dim
You know you're grabbin' at straws
And you'd do it again

Hit and run
Who is the love killer
Who ruined the music we thought was so special
Like fire between us spent over and over
Who emptied my bed and left me with nothing

(Kim Carnes)

Did she tell you it's over
Did she throw you out in the night
And here you come to your other lover
Thinkin' that a restless heart
Will get you high again

But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be

Did you think I'd be waiting for you
Did you think I'd be holding my breath
To hear the songs of your footsteps
Sayin' its all over with her
And now you need me
Now you need me

But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be

So don't try to call me anymore with your lies
Don't be a fool and make the
Mistake of thinking I still love you
Oh anyone can tell I'm find
And I don't need you

But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be

(Frankie Miller)

When I'm away from you I can't stay still
My thoughts won't move from the way I feel
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends

When I'm away from you it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right

When I'm away from you I see grey big clouds
In the fog and rain all the lonely crowds
It seems to be so blue
Every night I'm missing you

When I'm away from you the sun don't shine
The moon don't come the words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know oh you know

It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do that keep me hangin' on
And you know oh you know

When I'm away from the wime won't flow
The tides don't turn and the wind don't blow
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right

When I'm away from you the sun don't shine
The moon don't come the words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know oh you know

When I'm away from you it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends

When I'm away from you my boy
When I'm away from you my little boy

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Bill Cuomo/Val Garay)

Sleight of hand
Hands of Fate
Chance you take
Life's a snake

And it's all in the draw of the cards

Lightnin' strike
Breath of life
Red black or white
Watch 'em fall

And it's all in the draw of the cards
And it's all in the draw of the cards

Drop the cards
Watch the eyes
Down and dirty
Let 'em ride

Boulevard
Small cafe
Cavaliers
Pass the day

The joker laughs
From the street
Weaves his web
Bittersweet

Ace is high
Deuce is low
Take the first
The rest should go

And it's all in the draw of the cards
And it's all in the draw of the cards

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Wendy Waldman)

Now hold on honey where did you come from
I never been so made about anyone
Smile lights up like a radio dial
You got no fashion but you sure got style

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell 1et's break the rules tonight

I wanna hover you honey in a one way trap
Get you cornered in a cul-de-sac
My resistance just left the room
It's cold outside and there's a big ol' moon

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
I won't tell 1et's break the rules tonight

When you love someboy that you can't have
It's hell boy it's hell
When ya need somebody and you feel so bad
'Cause he's so good and he's so damn bad
Let's stay out late I won't tell
Let's break the rules tonight

I say yes when I should say no
And everybody says I told you so
But I don't care
'Cause it's too late
Here you come
And I can wait

Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell 1et's break the rules tonight

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Wendy Waldman)

If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way would you say
Lies that I wanted to hear
If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart would you start
Wearing me down again

I feel so lonely when I'm with I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you
I can't live without you
I still hold on

If I told you tonight I was leaving
Would you call my name take the blame
Turn it all around again
'Cause you know I love you
And worth the heartbreak we make
But I still hold on I still hold on

I feel so lonely when I'm with I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you
I can't live without you
I still hold on

(Tom Snow/Dean Pitchford)

Nobody believes that I really care for you
They don't think your heart is true
I don't think you agree
You know I'm a lifetime guarantee

So if they ask you what you mean to me
Don't call it love heaven above
Now we got a better thing
Don't call it love
That ain't enough
Tell 'em you're my everything

Nobody believes
We got something they ain't got
They never seen a fire this hot
They never got that far
We're burning as bright as any star

So if they ask you what your feelin's are
Don't call it love heaven above
Now we got a better thing
Don't call it love
That ain't enough
Tell 'em you're my everything

Feels so good feels so good and tight
Holding close
Through the night
They can call it what the like
They ain't got it right

Don't call it love heaven above
Now we got a better thing
Don't call it love
That ain't enough
Tell 'em you're my everythin'

(Kim Carnes)

Look at me now
I'm the lucky one
Runnin' everywhere
Envy of someone
Thought I'd call you tonight
Just for the fun
Only takes a dime
Lord knows I've got the time

I miss you tonight
Oh babe
I miss you tonight
Oh babe

Someone said
You got a new romance
And when you hold her
Do you think ever of me
Do you hold her close
Like you held me
When we danced
Do you think of me
Do your ever think of me

I miss you tonightTonight

Oh babe
I miss you tonight

What good is love
If it only breaks you heart
And all of the things
I wanted to say
Get lost now that you're gone
I just called to hear your voice
To see if you've changed you mind
I just have to say
That I miss you babe

I miss you tonight
Oh babe
I miss you tonight

(Richard Stekol)

John and Lucky saw me off
The whistle called the times
Just six days out to the coast
Just six days behind
But I've seen every state since then
And where my boys have gone
Is known to God and four strong winds
And I'm here all alone

Now ten long years have somehow passed
Since I've seen my hometown
And times I've spent upon those streets
And faint familiar sounds
Still whisper gently in my ear
And play upon my eyes
And I'll hold on to my memories
Till one by one they die

I can hear your passing trains
And I wonder what they see
And somewhere's out my window
Are the places I might be

Now I'm chasing down those pretty little boys
They wander through my mind
Maybe they'll remember me
When I work off my time

But I still belong to everyone
And if my sleep allows
Well then all those boys
Will dance tonight
With me and my old pals

But I'm running every single night
And every single days
Lord I've tried everything I know
To somehow find my way
Back to that one place in time
That fond memory endows
Me and my old pals
