Betrayed Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You pay your taxes, you pay the rent
Till you haven't got a cent
It's the law of the jungle, if you got the hunger
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Just hold on to what you got
(Hold on, hold on)
Just live it to the last drop
You can't help it, you just can't stop
[Chorus]
(Betrayed)
Yeah, life's a bitch, so just don't feel
(Betrayed)
No, you ain't the only one who's been
(Betrayed) Betrayed
[Verse 2]
Stone cold and all alone
You're wearing everything you own
They bare your flesh and strip your soul
But underneath you've got a heart of gold
Just hold on to what you got
(Hold on, hold on)
So just hold on
[Chorus]
(Betrayed)
Yeah, you ain't satisfied, I know you feel
(Betrayed) Well, you ain't crucified, so just get real
(Betrayed, betrayed) Betrayed, yeah
[Spoken]
Well, you got your back against the wall
And nobody one gives a fuck
The only thing you can do is just
Hold on, that's right
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
All alone, far from home
And you're feeling cold as stone
Don't give up, don't give in
Life's a bitch if you lose or win
[Chorus]
(Betrayed)
Yeah, you ain't the only one who's been
(Betrayed)
Yeah, life's a bitch if you lose or win
(Betrayed, betrayed) Betrayed
[Outro]
(Betrayed, betrayed) Betrayed
(Betrayed, betrayed) Betrayed
(Betrayed, betrayed)
(Betrayed, betrayed) Betrayed
(Betrayed, betrayed) Betrayed
Hide Your Heart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Johnny saw her riding on a streetcar named Desire
His fate was sealed
She could see him coming like a hundred other liars
It was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
Tito, he was king of the streets
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown
Johnny better run, better run
[Chorus]
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
[Verse 2]
The ride was over, but the story doesn't end
He took her heart
She looked him in the eye and said they couldn't meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa's messin' with someone
It was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run
[Chorus]
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire, come on
Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, yeah
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Listen
Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldn't hear him coming till he had 'em both in sight
You could feel a chill
A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies dying, lovers finally understand
Whoa
[Chorus]
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire
Better hide your heart, hold on tight
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
'Cause when pride and love battle with desire
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey)
Hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
[Outro]
Better hide your heart, yeah
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey)
Hold on tight
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Say your prayers
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey)
'Cause there's trouble tonight
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Yeah
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey)
Yeah
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
When pride and love battle with desire
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey)
Hide your heart 'cause you're playing with fire
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Hide your heart
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey)
Hold on tight
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Silver Spoon Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Oh oh oh
Ooh
[Verse 1]
I ain't looking like nobody's fool
Save it for somebody else
And I ain't making any desperate moves
Till I'm satisfied myself
I ain't waiting for no invitation
I just wanna walk on through
I never needed anybody
And like my daddy said
[Chorus]
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, whoa whoa
Nowhere to hide in a crowded room, whoa whoa
I see the attitude that's in your eyes
I got no reason to apologize
'Cause what's so special about a girl like you
With a silver spoon?
[Verse 2]
In the city where the buildings rise
I was just another face
But mama told me when somebody dies
No one else can take your place
I never needed anybody
And like my daddy said
[Chorus]
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, whoa whoa
Nowhere to hide in a crowded room, whoa whoa
I see the attitude that's in your eyes
I got no reason to apologize
'Cause I got somethin' for a girl like you
With a silver spoon
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Ooh, I always knew I'd be somebody
I kept it in my head
I never needed anybody
And like my daddy said
[Chorus]
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, whoa whoa
Nowhere to hide in a crowded room, whoa whoa
I see the attitude that's in your eyes
I got no reason to apologize
'Cause what's so special about a girl like you
Girl like you
Girl like you
With a silver spoon?
Don't try to tell me where you're going or what you're doing
Where I'm from, everybody's somebody
Hey
(You got everything but much too soon)
(I wasn't born with a silver spoon)
(Everything you wanted but even the moon)
(I wasn't born with a silver spoon)
(You got everything but much too soon)
(I wasn't born with a silver spoon)
(Everything you wanted but even the moon)
(I wasn't born with a silver spoon)
King of Hearts Lyrics
[Intro]
Do it
[Verse 1]
She was just 19
But in her eyes, she was old enough to know
We were caught between two city streets
Like a bad dream
We could barely survive in the world outside
Where the writing's on the wall
Still she lets me know, just can't let go
And she takes my heart away, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
When she tells me, "I want it"
I go crazy, I need it
When she touches, I feel it
Right there in her eyes
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm the King of Hearts, living out a fantasy
I'm the King of Hearts when she's laying next to me
Shining like a jewel tonight
Love is going to rule tonight
Yeah, I'm going to be the only one to be King of Hearts
[Verse 2]
Like a neon light
The shadows flash across my empty room
We could leave tonight
And save ourselves from a bad scene (bad, bad)
When we walk on by with our heads up high
All the faces turn our way
Yeah, it's in their eyes, they realize
We can make our getaway, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
When she tells me, "I want it"
I go crazy, I need it
When she touches, I feel it
When she looks at me
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm the King of Hearts, living out a fantasy
I'm the King of Hearts when she's laying next to me
Shining like a jewel tonight
Love is going to rule tonight
Yeah, I'm going to be the only one to be King of Hearts
Ooh yeah
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(When she tells me) "I want it"
I go crazy, I need it
(When she touches) I feel it
Right there in her eyes
Ooh, I'm the King of Hearts, yeah
Hey
[Outro]
I'm the King of Hearts when she's laying next to me
The King of Hearts, living in a fantasy
I'm the King of Hearts, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
The Street Giveth and the Street Taketh Away Lyrics
[Intro]
Look out
[Verse 1]
Hey man, got to take a stand
So you think that you've been had?
Well, I'm here to bet you, street's going to get you
Two out of three ain't bad
Hey man, it's getting out of hand
Cross your heart and hope to die, yeah
You got yours, I got mine
I'm gonna get what's coming to you
[Chorus]
'Cause the street giveth, yeah
And the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, wow
No way (no way) that's right, ha
[Verse 2]
Now listen
Hey man, don't you understand?
You can run, but you can't hide
There ain't no life after death, so save your breath
You're gonna be a rock and roll suicide
Hey man, don't you need a hand?
I ain't no blessing in disguise
Feel the agony and the ecstasy
It's going to burn right through you
[Chorus]
'Cause the street giveth (oh yeah)
And the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no no, no way
No way, ow
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Life's too short
So help yourself
'Cause I don't walk on water
[Chorus]
('Cause the street giveth) Yeah
(And the street taketh away)
('Cause the street giveth) No blind justice, there's no blind justice, no
(And the street taketh away) Taketh away
('Cause the street giveth) It giveth away
(And the street taketh away) The street taketh away
('Cause the street giveth) So watch your ass, man
(And the street taketh away) Yeah, it taketh away
('Cause the street giveth) It giveth away
(And the street taketh away)
('Cause the street giveth)
(And the street taketh away)
Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'd have to be a mind reader, baby
Just to know what's going on
You don't need no crystal ball, sugar
Can't you see my love is strong?
Don't you know my temperature is starting to rise up
And it's dragging me under your spell?
[Chorus]
I'm somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry
Oh, I'm so hungry
[Verse 2]
You don't have to see no fortune teller
To see I just can't take no more, oh
You been such a heartbreaker, baby
You keep a lock on heaven's door
Oh, ain't you tired of going through the motions
And standing in the shadow of love?
[Chorus]
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why I can't hurt you
Oh, I can't hurt you
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Don't need your loving, don't want nothing
Don't need your sympathy, don't need a friend
I just want something I can believe in, I can believe in
Ain't you tired of going through the motions
And hiding in the shadow of love?
[Chorus]
I-I-I'm somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want me, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry
I'm somewhere between love and hate
Don't know just what I'm feeling, babe, I think it's getting late
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why I can't hurt you, oh
[Outro]
(Somewhere between) Oh, I can't hurt you
(Somewhere between)
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why I can't hurt you, oh
Little Caesar Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Ten million stories in the city
Ten million backs against the wall
Desperation's out tonight, you can cut it with a knife
Everybody wants to have it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough
[Chorus]
Hey, Little Caesar
Nobody messing with you
Hey, Little Caesar (Hey, Little Caesar) Oh yeah
Now go show them what you can do
Now listen, yeah
[Verse 2]
Nobody said that it was pretty, no no
You haven't got a penny or a prayer
You know it's gonna be a fight if you wanna see your name in lights
Ain't nobody gives a damn out there
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you got your guts and you got your pride
You'll never let them see inside
[Chorus]
Hey, Little Caesar
Nobody messing with you
Hey, Little Caesar (Hey, Little Caesar)
Go show them what you can do, yeah yeah
Now go show them what you can do (whoa)
[Verse 3]
Well, you don't believe in the books and rules (whoa)
'Cause you just believe in what you know is cool (whoa)
Well, they tried to tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough (whoa)
I can't hear you (whoa)
Oh, yeah
[Guitar solo]
Oh, candy man
Oh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, they just don't understand
You gotta fight to be a man, yeah
[Chorus]
Hey, Little Caesar
Nobody messing with you
Hey, Little Caesar
Go show them what you can do
Hey, Little Caesar
Oh yeah, that's what it is
Hey Little Caesar, yeah
[Outro]
Oh, come on
(Whoa) Whoa yeah
(Whoa) Hey, Little Caesar
(Whoa) All right
Now show 'em, yeah
Boomerang Lyrics
[Intro]
Ow
[Verse]
Yeah, gonna throw down the dice on a roll
It's a showdown, gonna walk on hot coals
Cut the deck, better place your bet
'Cause the game ain't over yet
Wanna keep you under lock and key
Can't you see what you do to me?
Get the noose, I know I'm gonna hang
'Cause you're like a boomerang
A boomerang
Yeah
On the way up, you change your tune
So pay up and it ain't too soon
Can't make up or break up, can't feel a thing
You want a piece of everything
First you're cold and then you're hot
You're in the mood and then you're not
Yeah, I know I'll get a bang
'Cause you're like a boomerang
A boomerang
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can slip and you can slide
But there ain't nothing you can hide
You just can't say no
Well, here I come, baby, and here I ....go
Turn on the juice, Bruce
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
A boomerang
A boomerang, yeah
Ooh, your loving's mine
Ooh, your loving's mine
Yeah
Have mercy
