Sex

I feel the flames of your fire and it's burning my heart
Girl, you've got game and my number, and it ain't gonna stop

Hold me, love me
Call my name, I just want you to feel me
Breathe me, tease me
Can't control how I feel when you're near me
I can't do nothing about it

Got that feeling comin' over me
(Sex, sex, sex)
Girl, love is the only remedy
(Sex, sex, sex)

I can't contain my desire and I'm coming apart
I'm just a slave for your pleasure and I'm waiting to pop

Hold me, love me
Call my name, I just want you to feel me
Breathe me, tease me
Can't control how I feel when you're near me
I can't do nothing about it

Got that feeling comin' over me
(Sex, sex, sex)
Girl, love is the only remedy
(Sex, sex, sex)

Hold me, love me
Call my name, I just want you to feel me
Breathe me, tease me
Can't control how I feel when you're near me

Hold me, love me
Call my name, I just want you to feel me
Breathe me, come on tease me
Can't control how I feel when you're near me
I can't do nothing about it

Got that feeling comin' over me
(Sex, sex, sex)
Girl, love is the only remedy
(Sex, sex, sex)

Oh yea yeah
Got that feeling comin' over me
(Sex, sex, sex)
Girl, love is the only remedy
(Sex, sex, sex)

Oh yea yeah
Got that feeling comin' over me

The Chamber

You killed the love that was once so strong
With no regret to what you did wrong
Should I stay and fight?
Can we make this right?

You looked through me like an open door
Do I exist to you anymore?
Cause when I'm talking to you
There's someone else that you're hearing

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

You played your game, used me like a pawn
Check mate you're done and then you were gone
Did I move too fast?
I thought we would last

Now that you're through I can feel your soul
Where there was love lies an empty hole
Cause when I make love to you
It's someone else that you're feeling

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

So many nights
I've been standing at the wall
Blind folded with cigarette
Waiting for the fall

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

Dirty White Boots

Come up to my room
Get out of the weather
Through the window shade
And take off your sweater
You are all I need
To make me feel better
Let your hair hang down
And give me that level

Come on
Put a record on
And your dirty white boots, come on
You know you turn me on
In your dirty white boots, come on
We're gonna get it on
In your dirty white boots, come on
Come on

You know these games we play
They give me such pleasure
The girls in magazines
Cannot even measure
There's nothing you won't do
I don't have the pressure
Take your knickers down
And give me that treasure

Come on
Put a record on
And your dirty white boots, come on
You know you turn me on
In your dirty white boots, come on
We're gonna get it on
In your dirty white boots, come on
Come on

Girl I need you right here next to me
You're the one that brings me ecstasy
Girl I need your lovin' every day
You're the only one who could make me stay

Come on
Put a record on
And your dirty white boots, come on
You know you turn me on
In your dirty white boots, come on
We're gonna get it on
In your dirty white boots, come on
Come on

New York City

Broadway lights and taxi cabs
Everybody's moving fast
Uptown, downtown, what's your thing?
She can take what she can bring

She gave me a life
Came up through the inner city
She raised me up and taught me to fight, yeah
She opened my mind
I got to the knitty gritty
The greatest time that you'll ever find

She is my heart,
I love New York City
She's lived and died
So many times, yeah!
Life is always tough
On New York City, oh love
But she is fine, she always survives, yeah!

She's a queen that stands her ground
Nobody can take her down
Good times, bad times, she can swang
And did anyone a thang

She is a rock
As we pull but she is steady
And no one can take her freedom away, yeah
(Can't take her freedom)
I love her style
Whether she is clean or dirty
She's the greatest town that you'll ever find, yeah!

She is my heart,
I love New York City
She's lived and died
So many times, yeah!
Life is always tough
On New York City, oh love
But she is fine, she always survives, yeah!

You know she's my heart
I really love New York City
She's lived and died so many times
You know life can be real tough
On my New York City
But she's fine, she always survives
Yeah!

She is my heart,
I love New York City
She's lived and died
So many times, yeah!
Life is always tough
On New York City, oh love
But she is fine, she always survives, yeah
New York City
New York City
New York, New York
New York City
New York City
New York, New York
Let's hear it for New York City

She is my heart,

She's lived and died
So many times, yeah!
Life is always tough
On New York City, oh love
But she is fine, she always survives, yeah
New York City

New York, New York
New York City
New York City
New York, New York
Let's hear it for New York City

The Pleasure And The Pain

It's been a while since you came around
I missed you so. You know you broke me down
I was ready to give it one more try
Play on

While you were gone I tried to mend my heart
But I didn't know even where to start
I rather be with you given the fact

I'll take all you offer, cause it's all the same
The stone and the flower
The pleasure and the pain
I'll climb up that mountain, because it's you again
I can't live without it
The pleasure and the pain

I love the way that you keep it real
You're not afraid to tell me the deal
You tell me when I'm wrong, when I'm tripping out
'Cause a man like me, needs a woman who
Who walk the wall and is a warrior too, but
With that comes the truth and there is no doubt

I'll take all you offer, because it's all the same
The stone and the flower
The pleasure and the pain
I'll climb up that mountain, because it's you again
I can't live without it
The pleasure and the pain

I think this time we can make it trough
I'm still the me and you're still the you
The only difference will be within our minds

I'll take all you offer, because it's all the same
The stone with the flower
The pleasure and the pain
I'll climb up all the mountains, because it's you again
I can't live without it
The pleasure and the pain

I'll take all you offer, because it's all the same
The stone and the flower
The pleasure and the pain
I'll climb up that mountain, because it's you again
I can't live without it
The pleasure and the pain

I'll take all you offer, because it's all the same
The stone with the flower
The pleasure and the pain
I'll climb up all the mountains, because it's you again
I can't live without it
The pleasure and the pain

Strut

Baby do you know who I think you are?
You are a dream, you are a star
So let it out, bringing home a scene
And show the world exactly what you mean

Baby strut
Let me see you walk, strut
Let your body talk, strut
Show me how you work, strut

When you lay it down, how you hurt me so
No need to stop, baby go, go, go
You are a freak of nature by the way you move
Just be yourself, you got nothing to prove

Baby strut
Let me see you walk, strut
Let your body talk, strut
Show me how you work
This is a chance for you to go berserk baby

Strut, strut, strut, strut

When you feel the need, the need to express
Whether it be pain or happiness
Take it to the street, cause it is your stage
Just be yourself, and bust out of your cage

Baby strut
Let me see you walk, strut
Let your body talk, strut
Let me see you work, strut, strut

Let me see you walk, strut
Let your body talk, strut
Let me see you work
This is your chance for you to go berserk
Baby strut

Let me see you walk, strut
Let your body talk, strut
Let me see you work
This is your chance for you to go berserk
Baby strut

Let me see you walk, strut
Let your body talk, strut
Let me see you work
This is your chance for you to go berserk
Baby strut

Frankenstein

A lie he broke in pieces
He better have a life
My heart is slowly beating
Don't leave me here to die

Cause I need love
Yeah, I need love
You say that I'm your baby
But I feel like Frankenstein
I need love

I try so hard to please you
You're never satisfied
Will you ever release me?
I'm tossin' girls to swine

But I need love
Sister, I need love
You say that I'm your baby
But I feel like Frankenstein
I need love

The lie that you are living
Will never let you shine
Your words are so deceiving
But can't they taste like wine?

Can't help yourself from breathing
Can' help yourself from lying
One more day of this f*cking and I 'll lose my mind

I need love
Baby, I need love
You said I was your savior
But I feel like Frankenstein

The lie that you are living
Will never let you shine
Your words are so deceiving
But can't they taste like wine?

I need love
Yeah, I need love
Sister, yeah, I need love
I need love
I need love
Baby, I need love
I need love
I need love

She's A Beast

My heart is beatin'
And I can't wait for tomorrow
I'm gonna see her
My beautiful wild flower

She takes away space and time
She moves and eases my mind
Together we're one design
Yeah, she's a beast

I must be dreamin'
Don't have to beg, steal or borrow
And all I needed, yeah
I get every day and hour

She makes me feel so alive
She's always full of desire
When we make love it's on fire
Yeah, she's a beast
Oh, she's a beast
Yeah, she's a beast
Yes, you are, honey
Yeah, yeah, yeah-ah
Wooh

When she is sleepin'
I stare at her face in wonder
Yeah, how God released her
Now she is mine to discover

She wears her soul in her eyes
She is so pure and so wise
I'll always be by her side
Yeah, she's a beast
Yes, you are, sugar
Yeah, yeah, yeah-ah
Wooh

I'm A Believer

I got to let it, got to let it, got to let it go
I got to live by faith, relax, sit back, enjoy the show
The only element that's standing in the way is me
So now's the time to lay it at your feet
And let it be, let it be, let it be

Yeah

Hey, hey
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a believer
Hey, hey
From my head down to my toes
I'm a believer

No time to dilly-dally life is moving much too fast
Before we know it what we're doing now will be the past
And if we only knew how much time left we had left to live
We'd stop right in our tracks to turn around
And start to give, start to give, start to give

Yeah

Hey, hey
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a believer
Hey, hey
From my head down to my toes
I'm a believer

Hey, hey
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a believer
Hey, hey
From my head down to my toes
I'm a believer

We got to live today
'Cause life is moving, baby
Let's take it to the top
No time for being lazy

This is our moment and it is right here before us
Come on and join me on a trip while we explore this

So come on baby
Baby, let's be on our way

Hey, hey
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a believer
Hey, hey
From my head right to my toes
I'm a believer

Hey, hey
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a believer
Hey, hey
From my head right to my toes
I'm a believer

Hey, hey
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a believer
Hey, hey
From my head right to my toes
I'm a believer

Hey, hey
From my head right to my toes
I'm a believer

Ooh Baby Baby

I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
But in the game, I lost you
What a price to pay

I'm crying
Ooh
Baby, baby
Ooh
Baby, baby

Mistakes
I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too

Yeah, I'm crying
Ooh
Baby, baby
Ooh
Baby, baby

I'm just about at
The end of my rope
But I can't stop trying
I can't give up hope

'Cause I feel one day
That I'll hold you near
Whisper "I still love you"
Until that day is here

Oh, I'm crying
Ooh
Baby, baby
Ooh
Baby, baby

Ooh
Baby, baby
Ooh
Baby, baby

Baby, baby
Ooh
Baby, baby
Ooh
My baby, baby

I wanna be by your side, yeah

Never leave you, girl
