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…
Johnny, Are You Queer?
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
Outro
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
