Yesterday I met a guy
The kind you dream about at night
He said "Come on, let's take a ride"
And I said "Okay, yeah"
Every move he made was really hip
He's hip, uh-huh
He could be the one to come and steal my heart away
Chorus:
He could be the one...I like his style
He could be the one...I’ll put his love on trial
He could be the one to make it all worth while...yeah
He could be the one, he could be the one
He could be the one, he could be the one
I got to say, he's super fine
I can't get him off my mind
I know he's not a waste of time
He's got it all, yeah
Every move he made is really hip
He's hip, uh-huh
Got my name and number and I'm waiting on his call...hey...ohhh
Chorus
In this modern day and age
Love’s just another passing stage
Everybody's out to score
But love to me is so much more
Let's go!
Hey ohhh!
He could be the one
He could be the one
He could be the one to make it all worthwhile...yeah!
He could be the one
Music and lyrics by Bobby and Larson Paine
Aaaah….
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Come on show me that you care
Baby, you know where I’ll be…where I’ll be
I haven’t been the same
Since you put the flame to me…flame to me
Ah, you don’t have to take me out to see a show
Just put a stack of records on the stereo
Chorus:
‘Cause we got a rockin’ love… Hey!
Oooh, we got a rockin’ love… Hey!
We got a rockin’ love…
Let me make it clear, baby
I’m so glad that you’re here with me….here with me
And if you stay the night
That’ll be alright by me…’right by me
Ah, you don’t have to tell me I’m the only one
We can have it all baby, while we’re young
Chorus
Play it for me, baby
Rock me to the beat
Turn out the lights
Turn on the heat
Come on baby!
We got a rockin’ love… Hey!
Oohh…we got a rockin’ love… Hey!
We got a rockin’ love …
Ahhh…give it to me! Hey! Hey!
We got a rockin’ love… Hey!
We got it rockin’… Hey!
We got a rockin’ love… Hey!
Ahhh…give it to me! Hey! Hey!
We got a rockin’ love… Hey!
We got it rockin’… Hey!
We got a rockin’ love… Hey!
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
I-I-I I can’t wait
For your love
You could say it’s my fate
Ah, you’re my date with destiny
But everybody tells me that I’m crazy
Chorus:
I’m waitin’ for your love
Getting closer by the hour… Love
Soon this will be our… Love
Oh baby, that’s the power of your touch
I’m waitin’ for your love
I’m waitin’ for your love
You can tell yourself
You don’t need me
Say you got somebody else
HMMH
But I don’t care
I know my job
And it would take an angry mob to stop me
Chorus
I’m waitin’ for your love…
I’m waitin’ for your love…
What can I do to make you see
The only one you’ll ever need is waiting…
Chorus
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
When I saw you on the street
I thought that you looked sweet boy
A walkin’ masterpiece
Then you smiled and walked on by
I had to turn around so I could see babe
Get closer to the heat
You were hot to say the least babe
It happened all so suddenly
But somehow deep inside me
I knew…I knew…
Chorus:
You and me are gonna be
So close, baby
Like a two part harmony
So close, baby
Looking pretty good to me
So far, baby
Could be making love to me
So close, baby
Oooohh, I know-w
You and me are gonna be
So close
You were movin’ kinda slow
You were puttin’ on a show babe
I bet you didn’t know
I was workin’ all the way to get to you I had to say
Hello babe
It was touch and go
It was do or die or choke, babe
You could tell that I was shook, you turned and let me off the hook
Oh yea…Oh yea…
Chorus
When I saw you on the street ..
When I saw you on the street …
When I saw you on the street
I thought that you looked sweet babe
A walkin’ masterpiece
Then you smiled and walked on by
I had to turn around so I could see babe
Get closer to the heat
You were hot to say the least babe
It happened all so suddenly
But somehow deep inside me
I knew…I knew…
Chorus
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
It’s gonna be a long day
Heard the man just say
Just 10:30 on the radio
I’m like a time bomb
Waiting to explode
And I tried everything I know
To stop the sun returning
Through my window burning, burning
Chorus:
I need the night, tonight
Last place where a heart can hide
I need the night, tonight
Just another heartbreak
No one heard a sound
Drowned out by another day
Such a cold world
But I know a place
Where I can hide away
From the music blaring
And the sun so glaring, glaring
Chorus
Into the darkness, I’ll run far away from here till the world just disappears
Into the darkness that comes for me
It’s gonna be a long day
Heard the man just say
Just 10:30 on the radio
I’m like a time bomb
Waiting to explode
And I tried everything I know
To stop the sun returning
Through my window burning, burning
Chorus
I need the night, tonight
Oh no
I need the night, to-ni-i-i-ght…
Music and lyrics by Bobby and Larson Paine
Hey Johnny, what’s the deal, boy?
Is your love for real, boy?
When the lights are low
You never hold me close
And I saw you today, boy
Walkin’ with them gay boys
God, it hurt me so
Now I gotta know
Johnny, are you queer?
Chorus:
Cuz when I see you
Dancin’ with your friends
I can’t help wonderin’
Where I stand
I’m so afraid I’ll lose you
If I can’t seduce you
Is there something wrong?
Johnny, come on strong
Oh, why are you so weird, boy?
Johnny, are you queer, boy?
When I make a play
You’re pushing me away
Johnny, are you queer?
Chorus
Oh, Johnny you’re forsaking
The love you could be taking
I wanna give it to you
But you never come through
Oh why are you so weird, boy?
Johnny are you queer, boy?
When you asked for a date
I thought that you were straight
But Johnny, are you queer?
Hey Johnny, are you queer boy?
Johnny, are you queer boy?
Hey Johnny, Johnny are you? …you know
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Hey Johnny…
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Take my hand, baby
Let’s go
You know we can
If we say so
We’ve come together this far
But now we gotta find a new way to go on
All we need now
Is to find a new direction
We can make it happen
With a plan of action
Chorus:
Now, there’s got to be a systematic way
Really oughta be an automatic way
Got to be a systematic way now
To figure it out
It’s a big world and it goes ‘round
Everything changes and we’re bound to come along for the ride
You better hold on tight..now, it’s okay
Don’t back down
Don’t throw it all away
Cuz it’s always somethin’
Gonna keep you runnin’
But there’s got to be a systematic way
Really oughta be an automatic way
Got to be a systematic way now
To figure it out
Times when I’m alone, I remember
Loneliness I’ve known, I remember
And it makes me glad for the love I’ve had in you
You made it come true
Hey hey hey hey hey!
Take my hand, baby
Let’s go
You know we can
If we say so
We’ve come together this far
But now we gotta find a new way to go on
All we need now
Is to find a new direction
We can make it happen
With a plan of action
Chorus

Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Un Otra chica
My eyes must have been deceiving
Sometimes seeing’s not believing
It looked like, looked like, it looked like you
With another girl, yeah you
With another girl
She smiled
He reached out and touched her
Still I haven’t quite recovered
It looked like, looked like, it looked like you
With another girl, yeah you
With another girl
Tell me
I’ll believe it if you
Tell me
Tell me that you love me
It’s all I wanna know
Help me
You’re gonna have to help me
‘Cause baby it’ll kill me
If I have to let you go
I can’t forget the other day
I can’t make it go away
‘Cause it looked like, looked like, it looked like you
With another girl, yeah you
With another girl
I felt like I was naked
Stripped of all my pride
There you were with another girl
Didn’t even see me when I walked by
Oh you
With another girl
It was you with another girl
Saw you with another girl
It was you with another girl
Saw you with another girl
With another girl
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Do what you want
And don’t what you don’t
It’s your time… it’s not mine
Must have been insane to
Think that I could change you
Anyhow… I know now, baby
Go ahead and do like you do
That’s OK cuz I’m through with you
Chorus:
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Bye, bye baby
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Bye, bye baby, say goodbye
You take what you need
But you never take heed
Of your heart… so get smart
You oughta get a handle
Got yourself a handful
Of regrets… you bet, baby
That’s the way I know it’s gotta be
But I can’t feel sad cuz I feel so free
Chorus
Bridge:
“We had a good thing going, girl”
But now it’s going all wrong
“We had a good thing going, girl”
But it’s too late, baby, say so long
Do what you want
And don’t what you don’t
It’s your time… it’s not mine
Must have been insane to
Think that I could change you
Anyhow… I know now, baby
Go ahead and do like you do
That’s OK cuz I’m through with you
Chorus
Music and lyrics by James Gittridge (aka John Jones)
She’s alone
She don’t want to be had
She’s alone
With the dream of a man
But no, she don’t want to do what the others do
Oh, no
Oh, no…
She ‘s alone and it’s hard to accept
In this world, it’s keep or be kept
But no, she don’t want to do what her mother did
Oh, no
Chorus:
No pictures of Dad
No pictures of Dad
No pictures of Dad
And she don’t want to do what her mother did
Oh, no
Oh, no-o
She’s alone
She’s alone
She ‘s alone and it’s hard to accept
In this world, it’s keep or be kept
But no, she don’t want to do what the others do
Oh, no
Chorus
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no-o
Oh, no-o-o-o
Music and lyrics by Bert Russell
I know something about love
You've gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
Making love to you
If you want him to
Here's the thing to do
Just tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
I know something about love
You've gotta take him and
Make him see the moon up above
Go out and get him
If you want him to
Make your heart sing out
If you want him to
Only think of you
Then, tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Ever since the world began
It's been that way for man
And women were created
They make love their destiny
Then why should true love be
So complicated, oh-oh-oh
I know something about love
You've gotta want it bad
Show him what the world is made of
One kiss will prove it
If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride
And tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Music and lyrics by Elliot Lurie
Just seventeen, everything that she's seen
Is all there in her eyes
So many years of her poor mama's tears
And her daddy's sweet lies
But there's nobody home
And Maryann's alone
Almost fully grown, and worldly wise
Jimmy's been down, he's been out and around
And he knows where it's at
Love would be good if he thought that he could
But it isn't like that
He don't make mistakes
And what he needs, he takes
Jimmy gets all the breaks 'cause he knows how
Chorus:
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann
She thinks it's alright
She's not alone when she picks up the phone
And she hears Jimmy say
"Baby, I’m beat…I’m sick of the street, feel like runnin' away
There's no life here at all
The city seems so small
And there's a sweeter music calling us away”
Chorus
Big money town, it'll drag you right down
If you go it alone
Even the strong don't survive very long
When they're out on their own
Jimmy knows it's true, and Maryann knows it, too
They could see each other through
If they hold on
Chorus x2…
Music and lyrics by JB Frank and Roland DeVoile
Get up, whatchya waitin’ for?
We ain’t sending out no invitation
Get out on the floor
You don’t need no reservations
Do what you want to do
No one’s gonna stop you
Chorus:
You don’t need a license to dance
You don’t need a license to dance
You don’t need a license to dance
No, not in this town baby
Get loose, there’s no excuse
Just move to the beat now
Don’t wait for nobody to ask
Just follow your feet now
Shake it up
Dance all night
Keep on dancing ‘til you see the sunlight
Don’t worry about nothing tonight
Can’t be wrong cause it feels so right
Do what you want to do
No one’s gonna stop you
Chorus
Let’s go!
Do what you want to do
No one’s going to stop you
A license to dream, a license to drive
You need a license just to be alive
Can’t get a license if you’re underage
But you don’t need a license to dance
No, not in this place
Do what you wanna do
No one’s going to stop you
You don’t need a license to dance
You don’t need a license to dance
Music and lyrics by Bobby and Larson Paine
Hey-hey, Whoa
Hey-hey, Whoa
I can’t stop thinkin’ about the love that I lost
I blew a good thing and now I can’t pay the cost
He was the one I’ve been living for
But my heart stopped beatin’ when he walked out the door
Now will I die without a love, could this be the end
Will I find another lover and be born again?
Chorus:
Is there life after love?
Shine on forever like the stars up above
Is there life, is there life after love?
Do lovers ever find the heaven that they’re all dreamin’ of?
Is there life, hey-hey, after love, whoa
Is there life, hey-hey, after love, whoa
Now I’ve been a fool, I gotta confess
I never once thought about his happiness
I believe we all love and learn
And everything that you do someday will return
Well I know how easy a good love can die
But there’s still one thing that’s got me mystified
Chorus
Sometimes the future is so unclear
And I’ve been in love for a thousand years
When all of us die
Is there new life for my soul?
I gotta know
Chorus
I gotta know
I gotta know babe
Is there life after love?
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton and Larson Paine
You know I told you out front
The only thing that I want
Is all your love every day
If you don’t see it my way
Chorus:
Stop me, cause I’m losing my mind over you
Stop me, if I’m wasting my time
If you want to be kind …
Stop me
Bad love left a scar
It nearly ruined my heart
Already suffered too much
So if you don’t want my love
Chorus
You know I told you out front
The only thing that I want
Is all your love every day
If you don’t see it my way
Stop me, cause I’m losing my mind over you
Stop me, if you want to be kind
Stop me
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Do you know the game now
Have you heard the score?
When the rules are broken
That’s what the rules are for
When you start out, you’re playing around
Then there you are at your first down
There’s no use crying
No use crying
No use crying anymore
When you’re on the rebound
You’re running back again
Just where you’re headed
It depends where you’ve been
One day you’re up, you’re havin’ a ball
Better get your kicks before you fall
Chorus:
Cause there’s no use crying
No use crying
No use crying anymore
When the love you found
Goes out of bounds
And you feel like love’s gonna pass you by
I’m telling you that it’s right on time
No use crying
No use crying
No use crying anymore
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Well deep in the jungle lives a primitive man
Say ooga booga and he understands
He don’t have too many words to choose from
Sure enough knows how to use ‘em
Well, civilization is a different game
They’re double talkin’ every step of the way
Side effect from the elocution
What we get is a mass confusion
Chorus:
Straight Talk… Oh Baby, that’s what I need
Straight Talk… Baby baby, better give it to me
Straight Talk… Can’t believe a single word you say
Straight Talk… But I listen to it everyday
Gonna open up your eyes
Shut down all of this jive
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Some folks speak in a foreign tongue
Me I talk American
With a voulez vous and a con cuidado
It’s all the same far as I know
If you level with me, I‘m gonna get your draft
Like way out west, shoot it from the hip
Speak your mind, tell it like you see it
Come on say it like you really mean it
Chorus
Gonna bring you to your knees
Man you better believe
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Chorus
Gonna open up your eyes
Shut down all of this jive
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Music and lyrics by Bobby and Larson Paine
I said Gina don't you run with him
Girl I’m talking to you like a friend
He’s gonna throw your love away
Better listen when I say
Gina don't you run with him
I tell you Gina he’s a bad mistake
He’s a chance that you don’t have to take
He’s gonna bring you to your knees
Break your heart and leave
Gina don't you run with him
Chorus:
Ah Gina you're a young girl
But I know you're old enough to decide
He’s only foolin’ but I can see the love in your eyes
I said Gina don't you run with him. No
Gina don't you run with him
Chorus
No, no…
Listen what I’m saying to you
Gina don't you run with him
Girl I’m talking to you like a friend
He’s gonna throw your love away
Better listen when I say
Gina don't you run with him
Music and lyrics by Dana Fatigante and JB Frank
I know that she’s been hurting you
I know she makes you cry
She leaves you all alone at night
With only shady alibis
The way she treats you babe
Just ain’t right … no
We could change, we could change it if we do it tonight
Chorus:
Come with me, I’ll make it better
Come with me, you’ll see
Come with me, I’ll make you happy if you…
Come with me
If you were mine, I’d treat you fine
I’d treasure every day
And all the pain she made you feel
In time would fade away
The way you’re living baby
Just ain’t right...no
It could change, we could change it if we do it tonight
Chorus
She’s got you under her spell
She’ll cut you down can’t you tell
If you stay, she’ll do it and then she’ll break your heart again
I’ll make it better
You’ll see
I’ll make you happy if you…
Come with me
Chorus x2
Come with me….

A-one, two, three, four
Well, I'm so glad that school is in
And I can see my old classmates again
I worked and slaved the summer through
Doing all the things my mama told me to do
I washed the dishes; I scrubbed the floor
And taught baby brother how to count to four
Now I'm so glad that summers past
And school is in at last
Chorus:
School is in… Everybody woah, yeah
School is in… Yeah, yeah, yeah, school is in
School is in… Don't you know it
School is in… Oh yeah, yeah
School is in… hey, hey, yeah, school is in
Now you make think I'm nutty and tellin’ you lies
But I'm going out tonight and buy my school supplies
Cause this semester’s gonna be a gas
I said school is in at last
Chorus
Now summertime has come to an end
So I've gotta get back to my studies again
And make good grades so I can pass
And move on up to the head of my class
I washed the dishes; I scrubbed the floor
And taught baby brother how to count to four
Now I'm so glad that summers past
And school is in at last
School is in… Everybody woah, yeah
School is in… Yeah, yeah, yeah, school is in
School is in… I got a witness
School is in… Oh yeah, I gotta go
School is in… hey, hey, yeah, school is in
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton, Bobby Pain, Larson Paine and JB Frank
The sky was falling down
Rain was turning black
Left for Motor City in a beat up Cadillac
And they’re gone
Way Out West
Passed a little town
Across the open plain
Heard the lonesome whistle of a runaway train
Heading out
Way Out West
We got this down and we don’t need a map
Going to California and we ain’t coming back
Let’s Go!
Way Out West
Way Out West
Way Out
Engine runnin’ hot
Fuel was getting low
Speeding like a bullet down in New Mexico
Moving Out
Way Out West
Riding through the badlands, Couldn’t get no kicks
Stay out of Tucumcari, There’s no route 66
Said it’s gone
Way Out West
Cross the burnin’ sands right into the settin’ sun
You look like Jesse James when you give it the gun
Way Out West
Way Out West
Way Out
Coming down the mountain at a 110
The car began to rattle
And it started to spin
The California life
We knew we had arrived
But Uncle Jed looked out and said you’re lucky you’re alive
Yea, they’re gone
Way Out West
We hit the 101
What a crazy trip
Rollin’ rollin’ rockin’ on the Sunset Strip
Really gone
Way out West
Said it’s gone
Way Out West
Really gone
Way Out
Way Out
