STRUTTER '78

I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants she'll pass you by

Ev'rybody said she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter!
Strutter!
Strutter!

She wears her satin like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
You take her home and she says "Maybe, baby"
She takes you down and drives you wild

Ev'rybody said she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter!

I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants, she'll pass you by

Everybody said she's lookin' good, and the lady knows it's understood
Strutter - I know she'll just make you cry
Strutter - look out, that girl will just pass you by
Strutter - whoa oh, she gets her way like a child
Strutter - mama, that girl will just drive you wild

Strutter (repeats out)


DO YOU LOVE ME

You really like my limousine
You like the way the wheels roll
You like my seven inch leather heels
And goin' to all of the shows
But...

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me
Really love me?

You like the credit cards and private planes
Money can really take you far
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
And the sound of electric guitars
But...

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me (I mean like do ya)
Really love me (I wanna know?)

You really like rock 'n' roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts and studios
And all the money honey that I make
But...

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me
Really love me?

Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans they know your face
From all of the magazines
But...

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me
Really love me?

I wanna know...

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me (I mean like do ya)
Really love me?

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me
Really love me?

I want you to, I need you to, and you know, I'm so tired of everybody sayin' it
And you know, I just gotta know, if you really really really, really love me
So come on, do you love me - I need you to - do you love me - I want you to
Do you love me - I need you - really love me - I wanna know
Do you love me - do you, do you - do you love me
I just got to have some love... (to fade)


HARD LUCK WOMAN

If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first "Hello"
We'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you
My feelin's would never show
It's time I start walking
But there's so much you'll never know

I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman

Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love ya
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man

Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you girl
You know I could never lie

I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man

Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen

Baby, 'til you find your man
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah... (to fade)


CALLING DR. LOVE

You need my love baby oh so bad
You're not the only one I've ever had
And if I say I wanna set you free
Don't you know you'll be in misery

They call me (Dr. Love)
They call me Dr. Love (calling Dr. Love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of

And even though I'm full of sin
In the end you'll let me in
You'll let me through, there's nothin' you can do
You need my lovin', don't you know it's true?

So will you please get on your knees
There are no bills, there are no fees
Baby, I know what your problem is
The first step of the cure is a kiss

So call me (Dr. Love), they call me Dr. Love (calling Dr. Love)
I am your doctor of love (calling Dr. Love)
Call me (Dr. Love), they call me Dr.Love (calling Dr. Love)
I have the cure you're thinkin' of

They call me (Dr. Love), I am the doctor of love (calling Dr. Love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling Dr. Love)
Call me (Dr. Love), I am the doctor of love (calling Dr. Love)

GOD OF THUNDER

You got something about you
You got something I need
Daughter of Aphrodite
Hear my words and take heed

I was born on Olympus
To my father a son
I was raised by demons
Trained to reign as the one

God of Thunder and Rock and Roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul

I am the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please me
And I command you to kneel
Before the...

God of Thunder and Rock and Roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul

(Spoken)
I am the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please me
And I command thee to kneel
Before the...

God of Thunder and Rock and Roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul


FIREHOUSE

Oo, oo, yeah!
Oo, oo, yeah!

She'll adore you, and she'll floor you
With her wisdom and her vision
And you'll love it and think of it
Till you lose all intuition
C'mon!

She can move you and improve you
With her love and her devotion
And she'll thrill you and she'll chill you
But you're headed for commotion

And you'll need her so you'll feed her
With your endless dedication
And the quicker you get sicker
She'll remove your medication

Get the firehouse
'Cause she sets my soul on fire
Get the firehouse
And the flames keep gettin' higher

She's like bad weather but it seems so good
You'd never leave her but you know you should

Get the firehouse
'Cause she sets my soul on fire
Get the firehouse
And the flames keep gettin' higher
Oo, oo, yeah!
Get the firehouse
Oo, oo, yeah!


HOTTER THAN HELL

She looked good
She looked hotter than hell
All dressed in satins and lace
I looked at her and it was just too clear
I had to get on the case

I said "Lady, oh lady can I take you home?
There's just so much we could do
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
Before the evening is through"

Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well-done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun

I asked her why she couldn't
Make up her mind
She said "You don't understand
I'd love to go, but there's something you should know"
She showed me her wedding band

Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well-done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun

Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well-done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
She'll burn you like the midday sun


I WANT YOU

In the morning I raise my head
And I'm thinkin' of days gone by
And the thing I want out of life is
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)

You can run, you can hide
But you never get away
You can lie and deny
But you know you're gonna pay
Never loved, never thought you could
Treat you right, girl, you know I would
You can fight but tonight
There's nothin' you can do

I want you (I want you)
Baby Baby babe I want you (I want you)

You can walk in a haze
You can travel 'til you die
You can live in a dream
And your life will pass you by
Ev'ry day that you hesitate
You're never changin in the hands of fate
You can fight but tonight
There's nothing you can do

I want you (I want you)
Baby Baby babe I want you (I want you)

In the morning I raise my head
And I'm thinkin' of days gone by
And the thing I want out of life is

I want you (I want you)
Baby Baby babe I want you (I want you)
Baby Baby babe I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)
I want you (I want you)


DEUCE

Get up
And get your grandma outta here
And pick up
Old Jim is workin' hard this year

Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce!

Do the things he says to do
Do it!

You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce!

Baby, if you're feeling good

100,000 YEARS

I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while?
You'll reacquaint yourself with my style

How could you have waited so long?
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up a fear
For a 100,000 years

I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up a fear
For a 100,000 years

And baby won't you let me?
I think I'm goin' out of my head
I'm just about to, oo yeah

I'm sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
D'you mind if I sit down for a while, would you babe?
You'll reacquaint yourself with my style


DETROIT ROCK CITY

I feel uptight on Saturday night
Nine o' clock and the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to...

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Startin' the car, and I drive and make the midnight show
Let's go

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Movin' fast, doin' 95
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much to slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my God! no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die!
Why?

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat


SHE

She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home

I know she's goin' down, goin'
Ev'rybody knows she's so good

Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers all within her
As she takes off her clothes

I know she's goin' down, goin'
Ev'rybody knows she's so good

Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers all within her
As she takes off her clothes

I know she's goin' down, goin'
Ev'rybody knows she's so good


ROCK AND ROLL ALL NITE

You show us ev'rything you've got
You keep on dancing and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'

I wanna rock and roll all nite
And party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite
And party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite
And party every day

You keep on saying you'll be mine for a while
You're lookin' fancy and I like your style
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You show us everything you've got
Baby, baby that's quite a lot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shouting, you keep on shouting

I wanna rock and roll all nite
And party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite
And party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite
And party every day


BETH

Beth I hear you callin'
But I can't come home right now
Me and the boys are playin'
And we just can't find the sound

Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them callin'
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do

You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain't our home
I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone

Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them callin'
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do

Beth, I know you're lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
'Cos me and the boys will be playin' all night


MAKIN' LOVE

I just hate when the girl says wait
I really want her by my side
Don't hesitate
I really want her by my side
The whole night through
We do all the things that we wanna do
Come on baby, don't leave me sad
'Cause you're good lookin', the best I've had

Makin' love, makin' love, love
Makin' love, love all night long
Makin' love, makin' love, love
Makin' love, love all night
Love, wow! All night long

Red light, green light, don't say "No!"
I really want her, she says
"Stop, baby" go, go, go
I really want her by my side
The whole night through
We do all the things that we wanna do
Well come on baby, don't leave me sad
'Cause you're good lookin', the best I've had

Makin' love, makin' love, love
Makin' love, love all night long
Makin' love, makin' love, love
Makin' love, love all night

Makin' love, makin' love, love
Makin' love, love all night long
Makin' love, makin' love, love
Makin' love, love all night
(Repeat)


C'MON AND LOVE ME

She's a dancer, a romancer
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer
She saw my picture in a music magazine
When she met me, said she'd get me
Touched her hips and told me that she'd let me
I took her hand, baby
This is what I said

I said baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Bady won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me

I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're lookin' ev'ry inch a lady
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good
You were distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hands

So baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Bady won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me

Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Bady won't you take me down on my knees
You can do what you please
Come on and love me
Come on and love me
Come on and love me


COLD GIN

My heater's broke and I'm so tired
I need some fuel to build a fire
The girl next door, her lights are out, yeah
The landlord's gone, I'm down and out

It's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
It's cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing
That keeps us together

It's time to leave and get another quart
Around the corner at the liquor store
The cheapest stuff is all I need
To get me back on my feet again

It's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
It's cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing
That keeps us together

It's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
It's cold gin time again
You know it's the only thing
That keeps us together


BLACK DIAMOND

Out on the street for a living
Picture's only begun
Got you under their thumb

Hit it!

Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb

Oo, black diamond!
Oo, black diamond!

Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too
And though you don't ask for pity
There's nothin' that you can do

Oo, black diamond!
Oo, black diamond!

Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only
