1. LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME

If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking

        What you get ain't always what you see
        But satisfaction's guaranteed
        They say what you give is always what you need
        So if you want me to lay my hands on you

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

Lay your hands on me

I'm a fighter, I'm a poet, I'm a preacher
I've been to school and baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get up off the ground
I can show you how to fly and never ever come back down

        Everything you want is what I need
        Satisfaction's guaranteed
        But the ride don't never ever come for free
        If you want me to lay my hands on you

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

Lay your hands on me

  Solo

        Don't you know I only aim to please
        If you want me to lay my hands on you

Lay your hands on me  

2. BAD MEDICINE

I ain't got a fever got a permanent disease
It'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money but it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me
I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3

        First I need
        That's what you get for falling in love
        Then you bleed
        You get a little but it's never enough
        On your knees
        That's what you get for falling in love
        And now this boy's addicted cause your kiss is the drug

                Your love is like bad madicine

                Cure my disease

        Bad, bad medicine
        Bad, bad medicine

I don't  need no needle
To be diving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addition
It doesn't leave a track
I got a jone for your affection
Like a money on my back

There ain't no paramedic
Gonna save this heart attack

        When you need
        That's what you get for falling in love
        Then you bleed
        You get a little but it's never enough
        On your knees

You're an all night generator wrapped is stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine you take what you can get
Cause if there's something better baby well thay haven't found it yet

                Bad medicine is what I need
                Shake it up, just like bad madicine

                Your love's the potion that
                Can cure my disease

        Bad, bad medicine
        Bad, bad medicine  

3. BORN TO BE MY BABY

Rainy night and the worked all day
We both got jobs caus there's bills to play
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

        My heart beats like a drum (all night)
        Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
        And I'll never let go cause
        There's something I know deep inside

                You were born to be my baby
                And baby, I was made to be your man

                We got something to believe in
                Even if we don't know where we stand
                Only God would know the reasons
                But I bet he must have had a plan
                Cause you were born to be my baby
                And baby, I was made to be your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's OK
Our time, our way

So hold me close better hand on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
Our world, our flight

        If we stand side by side (all night)
        There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
        And I'll know that you'll be live
        In my heart till the day I die

                Cause you were born to be my baby
                And baby, I was made to be your man

                We got something to believe in
                Even if we don't know where we stand
                Only God would know the reasons
                But I bet he must have had a plan
                Cause you were born to be my baby
                And baby, I was made to be your man

  Solo

        My heart beats like a drum (all night)
        Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
        And I'll never let go cause
        There's something I know deep inside

                Cause you were born to be my baby
                And baby, I was made to be your man

                We got something to believe in
                Even if we don't know where we stand
                Only God would know the reasons
                But I bet he must have had a plan

                Cause you were born to be my baby
                And baby, I was made to be your man

                You were born to be my baby
                And baby, I was made to be your man  

4. LIVING IN SIN

I don't no license
To sign on no line
And I don't need no preacher
To tell me you're mine
I don't need no diamonds
I don't need new bride
I just need you, baby
To look me in the eye

I know they have a hand time
And your Daddy don't approve
But I don't need your Daddy
Telling us what we should do

        Now there's a million questions
        I could ask about our lives
        But I only need one answer
        To get me through the night

        So I say baby, can you tell me just where we fit in
        I call it love they call it living in sin
        Is it you and me or just his world we live in
        I say we're living on love they say we're living in sin

Is it right for both our parents
Who fight it out most nights
Then pray for God's forgivness
When they both turn out the lights
Or wear that ring of diamonds
When your heart is made of stone
You can talk but still say nothing
You stay together but alone

        Or is it right to hold you
        And kiss your lips goodnight
        They say the promise is forever
        If you sign it on the dotted line

        Baby, can you tell me just wher we fit in
        I call it love they call it living in sin
        Is it you and me or just this world we live in
        I say we're living on love they say we're living in sin

  Solo

        Baby, can you tell me just wher we fit in
        I call it love they call it living in sin
        Is it you and me or just this world we live in
        I say we're living on love they say we're living in sin

        I call it love they call it living in sin

Living in sin

I don't know where to begin
I don't know where we fit in

Living in sin  

5. BLOOD ON BLOOD

I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did

        Well, it was me and Daddy and Bobby
        We cut each other's hands
        And held tight to a promise
        Only brothers understand

                But we were so young (so young)
                One for all and all for one (for one)
                Just as sure as the river's gonna run

        Blood on blood
        One on one
        We'd still be standing
        When all was said and done
        Blood on blood
        One on one
        And I'll be here for you
        Till Kingdom come
        Blood on blood

Well, Bobby was our hero
Cause he hed a fake I.D.
I got busted stealing cigarettes
And he took the rap for me

Danny knew this white trash girl
We each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel
And turned us into men

                We were so young (so young)
                One for all and all for one (for one)
                Just as sure as the river's gonna run

        Blood on blood
        One on one
        We'd still be standing
        When all is said and done
        Blood on blood
        One on one
        And I'll be here for you
        Till Kingdom come
        Blood on blood

  Solo

Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer
Danny, he's a medicin man
And me, I'm just the singer
In a long haired rock'n'roll band

Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side

        Blood on blood, blood on blood

        Blood on blood
        One on one
        We'd still be standing
        When all is said and done
        Blood on blood
        One on one
        And I'll be here for you
        Till Kingdom come
        Blood on blood

        Blood on blood  

6. HOMEBOUND TRAIN

When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home
He made me a man
So, don't talk to me about sympathy now
Cause you can't dance if you
Take a chance on your rosary

        I'm going down, down, down, down, down
        On the homebound train

It's been a millions years
That I been gone
I been everywhere, now I'm heading home
Been a lot of girls, but
There's a woman I know
Said don't take no plane
Better take a train
Cause I like it real slow

        All the way back home
        On the homebound train
        I'm going down, down, down, down, down
        On the homebound train
 
  Solo

I'm on my way
I'm heading home
To be with my baby
Where I belong
Coming down the tracks now
See, I done my time
I'm going back now
To that home of mine
Well, here I come baby

Here I come baby
Here I come baby

        All the way back home
        On that homebound train
        I'm going down, down, down, down, down
        On that homebound train  

7. WILD IS THE WIND

I tried to make you happy
You know I tried so hard to be
What you hoped that I would be
I gave you what wanted
God couldn't give you what you need
You wanted more from me
Than I could ever be
You wanted heart and soul
But you didn't know, baby

        Wild, wild is the wind
        That takes me away from you
        Cold is the night without your love
        To see me through
        Wild, wild is the wind
        That blows through my heart

        Wild is the wind,
        Wild is the wind
        You got to understand, baby
        Wild is the wind

You need someone to hold you
Somebody to be there night and day
Someone to kiss your fears away
I just went on pretending
Too weak, too proud, too tough to say
I couldn't be the one
To make your dreams come true
That's why I had to run
Though I needed you, baby

        Wild, wild is the wind
        That takes me away from you
        Cold is the night without your love
        To see me through, baby
        Wild, wild is the wind
        That blows through my heart tonight
        That tears us apart

        Wild is the wind,
        Wild is the wind
        You got to understand, baby
        Wild is the wind

  Solo

Maybe a better man
Would live and die for you
Baby, a better man would
Never say goodbye to you

        Wild, wild is the wind
        That takes me away from you
        Cold is the night without your love
        To see me through, baby
        Wild, wild is the wind
        That blows through my heart tonight
        That tears us apart

        Wild is the wind,
        Wild is the wind
        You got to understand, baby
        Wild is the wind  

8. RIDE, COWBOY, RIDE

Ride cowboy ride
Through the backdoor of Heaven
To the other side
I wanna know the danger of the kiss
At midnight

Ride cowboy ride
Yeah I learned my lessons
Here's a story to tell
So I make my confessions
In this sleazy motel
I could be a romantic
I could try my best lines
But I ain't got the money
And we ain't got the time

    Ride cowboy ride
    Through the backdoor of Heaven
    To the other side
    I wanna know the danger of a kiss
    At midnight
    I wanna be a big shot
    Ride ride ride

Ride cowboy ride
Through the backdoor of Heaven
To the other side
I wanna know the danger of the kiss
At midnight  

9. STICK TO YOUR GUNS

So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight

And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one

        Stick to your guns
        Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
        You can go for the trigger
        But only if you have to
        Aim from the heart
        Some will love and some will course you, baby
        And you can go to war
        But only if you have to
        It's only if you have to

So you want to be the big time
Some people have to drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground

You got to give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won

        Stick to your gun
        Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
        You can go for the trigger
        But only if you have to
        Aim from the heart
        Some will love and some will course you, baby
        And you can go to war
        But only if you have to
        But only if you have to

  Solo

Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the Battle is yours

        Stick to your guns
        Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
        You can go for the trigger
        But only if you have to
        Aim from the heart
        Some will love and some will course you, baby
        And you can go to war
        But only if you have to
        It's only if you have to

But stick to your guns  

10. I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide

You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

        Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

                I'll be there for you
                These five words I swear to you
                When you breathe I want to be the air for you
                I'll be there for you
                I'd live and I'd die for you
                Steal the sun from the sky for you
                Words can't say what a love can do
                I'll be there for you

I know you know we're had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine

                I'll be there for you
                These five words I swear to you
                When you breathe I want to be the air for you
                I'll be there for you
                I'd live and I'd die for you
                Steal the sun from the sky for you
                Words can't say what a love can do
                I'll be there for you

  Solo

And I wan't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

                I'll be there for you
                These five words I swear to you
                When you breathe I want to be the air for you
                I'll be there for you
                I'd live and I'd die for you
                Steal the sun from the sky for you
                Words can't say what a love can do
                I'll be there for you

11. 99 IN THE SHADE

I feel I'm burning up with fever
But the fire's feeling really good tonight
And it's alright
I'm gonna see Sahara Jack and Suntan Sally
Somebody tells me even Tommy's coming down tonight
If Gina says it's alright

I'm gonna see those Senoritas
Lying under the sun
They're greasing it up
With know I want to be their blanket
Gonna tell every girl
Hey, baby... You're the one...

        Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
        I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
        I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid
        And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
        I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

When the sun goes down that's when the street heats up
Senorita Margarita fills your empty cup tonight -
She make you feel alright

A good time here don't cost much money
Just a little sweet talking and a pretty native honey
And you're set for life
Or one hell of a nigth

I'm gonna see those sons of beaches
Out there living it up the surf
And the sand,
Man that life ain't so tough
So get me in the action so I can tell
Every girl she's the one

        Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
        I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
        I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid
        And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
        I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

12. LOVE FOR SALE

Well I wake up this morning I rolled out of bed
I felt like a dog who's been kicked in the head
Checked out my mail there was letter that read
Love for sale, love for sale

I picked up the phone I called everyone I could
I let my fingers do the walking through the telephone book
You can't catch a fish if you ain't got the hook
Love for sale, love for sale

        Send up a signal throw me a line
        Somebody explain " this funny Valentine"
        It might not be signal but it sure ain't a crime
        I'm one step from crazy and two steps behind

I called Lt. Columbo from my TV set
I've tried the Dating Game I haven't found her yet
I'm hoping that she's looking like a Penthouse Pet
Love for sale, love for sale

  Solo

We've been living together 3 years,
2 hours, 20 minutes maybe four houndred beers
You can't shop for love when you're shopping at Sears
Love for sale, love for sale

I guess I've learnt my lesson it was easy to see
My old lady she played this joke on me
I never looked where I forgot it would be
Love for sale, love for sale
