Reach for thr Sky

Well I'm an outlaw I make my living on the run My life is lonely But I was born to need no one Always on my own

Oh…

My gun is loaded I'm a six-shot heart attack I pull the trigger So you better watch your back

Looking out for #1 so you had better take this piece of advice Make your move Stick 'em up or kiss your ass goodbye

Chorus: Reach for the sky Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye Reach for the sky There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Reach for the sky I got the drop on you so raise them high Reach for the sky

Well it's a show down This is what I do for fun I got a reputation Yeah I'm the fastest gun I'm livin' on the highway Movin' on from town to town You better do it my way Or I will shoot you down

Looking out for #1 so you had better take this piece of advice Make your move Stick 'em up or kiss your ass goodbye

Chorus

Take you best shot Oh go for your guns baby

Reach for the sky Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye Reach for the sky There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Reach for the sky Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye Reach for the sky There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Reach for the sky I got the drop on you so raise them high Reach for the sky Oh reach for the sky

Sleeping With You

I don't care what they say
I know this is right
Because I feel it deep in my heart
They say we're young and wild
And we should wait for a while
But nothing's gonna keep us apart

But I don't think we're living in sin
So we can't give up, we can't give in
Because our love is strong, and it can't be wrong
Oo and it feels so right

Chorus:
So I'll be sleeping with you tonight
We'll be together tonight
I don't care if it's wrong or right
I'll be sleeping with you
Sleeping with you tonight

So let's give it a try. I know we'll get by
Because our love's enough to see us through
Well if we take a chance, we can make it at last
I know that it's the right thing to do

But I don't think we're living in sin
So we can't give up, we can't give in
Because our love is strong, and it can't we wrong
Oh and it feels so right

Chorus

'Cause our love is so strong
And nothing's gonna keep us apart

Sleeping with you tonight
We'll be together tonight
Well I don't care if it's wrong or right
I'll be sleeping with you
I'll be sleeping with you tonight
We'll be together tonight
I don't care if it's wrong or right
I'll be sleeping with you,
Sleeping with you tonight

You're Too Bad

When I first laid eyes on you
Well I knew that you were trouble, and you're too good to be true
The second time I looked your way
I knew that you were guilty, it was written all over your face

Well the way you misbehave is criminal
But it only makes me want you more and more

Chorus:
You're too bad, too bad for your own damn good
Woo you never act just like you should
You're too bad, too bad for your own damn good
Too bad for your own damn good

Well you don't know right from wrong
You keep lyin', cheatin', stealin', and the list goes on and on
With you evil, wicked, nasty ways
The devil will catch up with you and put you in your place

Well the way you misbehave is criminal
But it only makes me want you more and more

Chorus

You're to bad

Hey, you know you're always up to no good
But I like that
You're to bad, too bad for your own damn good
Woo you never act just like you should
You're too bad, too bad for you own damn good
Baby you know that
You're too bad, too bad for your own damn good
Too bad for your own damn good

You're too bad

When I Look Into Your Eyes

I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I ever wanted, I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise 'till the end of time
We'll always be together, and our love will never die

So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause I see my whole world
I see only you

When I look into you eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes

Now that I've found you, we will never say goodbye
I can't stop this feeling and there's nothing I can do
'Cause I see everything, when I look at you

Chorus

When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize

Hold Your Fire

I'm like a loaded gun I got you in my sight
And you're the only one I want to shoot tonight
Ready and able the trigger to fire
Locked on target for my desire
Got you covered and there's nothing that you can do
But say

Chorus:
Hold your fire
Hold your fire

I'm speeding like a bullet never miss my mark
With infrared eyes that can see in the dark
Actions semi-automatic
Satisfaction the instant I hit
I got you covered and there's
Nothing that you can do
But say

Chorus

The Meaning of Love

Well I never was one to believe
I thought love was a fantasy
But honey you made a believer of me
Now I know it's true
Now they say this will last forever
Just as long as we stay together
So now we can see just what love is to me and to you

Well I tried to find the answer in the book of love
But that didn't give me a clue
What I found a definition it was for love
It was you

Well I never knew the meaning of love
Now I just can't get enough
I never knew the meaning of love 
'Till I met you
I never knew the meaning of love

Well I never quite understood
How could love make you feel so good
When I looked at you it was then that I knew it was true

Now it all makes sense to me
You've got to take love seriously
Only you made it clear that the meaning of love 
Is you

I never knew the meaning of love
Now I just can't get enough
I never knew the meaning of love
Till I met you
I never knew the meaning of love
Now I just can't get enough
I never knew the meaning of love
Till I met you
I never knew the meaning of love
The meaning of love

Talk of the Town

Everywhere in this city
Word is getting around
About a girl who's so damn pretty
She's the talk of the town
Dressed in black she's a heart attack
Well she's a hard one to tame
Ooh she's livin' up to her reputation
She's livin' up to her name

Everywhere she goes she gets everyone talkin', talkin'
And anytime she's anywhere around
Everybody says she's the talk of the town

Chorus:
Oh my, my she's so fine
And she's the talk of the town
Oughta know by now
She's the talk of the town
Well she's the talk of the town

Built to kill with body language
She's got them talkin' about her
She makes the best of a sticky situation
That's the kind of thing

Everywhere she goes she gets
Everyone talkin', talkin'
And anytime she's anywhere around
Everybody says she's the talk of the town

Chorus

The talk of the town
Now she's the talk of the town

Life In The Real World

Got you working the nine-to-five
Well every day
It's all you can do just to stay alive
Wasting your time away
There's got to be a better way

Chorus:
Living life in the real world
Well it's an uphill climb
Living life in the real world
Time after time, they knock you down
You gotta get up, you gotta live your life in the real world

With every second it slips away
It's getting harder to see
How you can be the best that you can be
Wasting your time away
There's got to be a better way

Chorus

Nobody ever told you it would be like this in the real world
Fame and fortune's nothing but a hit-and-miss
When you realize 
You're living in the real world

Chorus
Chorus (repeat)

Life in the real world

Mama Didn't Raise No Fool

Well listen up to what I say
I wasn't born just yesterday
I've been down the road and back a time or two
Well this should come as no surprise
You can't pull the wool over my eyes
I've had it up to here and now I'm through

And I'm sick and tired of fools
Tired of playing by the rules
Time to strut my cool
'Cause mama didn't raise no fool

Chorus:
Mama didn't raise no fool
Well my mama didn't raise no fool
You can't tell me what to do
'Cause my mama didn't raise no fool

What goes around comes back around
And I've been around a few times by now
I've seen it all before and I've paid my dues
So don't tell me no stories
And don't tell me no lies
'Cause my mother brought me up to be a bad mother too

And I'm sick and tired of fools
Tired of playing by the rules
Time to strut my cool
'Cause my mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise no fool
Well my mama didn't raise no fool
You can't tell me what to do
'Cause mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise
Mama didn't raise no fool

Hold the Dream

When you're lost and lonely
And you feel you can't go on
In the blink of any eye, you could throw it all away
You can turn your world around
Show them all what you can do
Just believe, and trust your heart to see you through

A dream so real, you can feel it in the palm of your hand
So hang onto tomorrow
And never look back again

Chorus:
Hold the dream
Don't ever let it go
Hold the dream

Don't ever let it get you down
When they turn their back on you
Just do what feels right for you
You can find what you're looking for
Don't get lost along the way
Always be strong. Your heart can't be wrong
Don't give up and your dreams will come true

A dream so real
You can feel it in the palm of your hand
So hang onto tomorrow
And never look back again

Chorus

Hang onto tomorrow
Hold the dream
Don't ever let it go
Hold the dream
Hold the dream

Chorus

Hang onto tomorrow
Hold the dream
Don't ever let it go
Hold the dream
Hang onto tomorrow
Hold the dream
Don't ever let it go
Hold the dream
Hold the dream
