Lyrics:
Been beat up and battered 'round Been sent up, and I've been shot down You're the best thing that I've ever found Handle me with care Reputations changeable Situations tolerable Baby, you're adorable Handle me with care I'm so tired of being lonely I still have some love to give Won't you show me that you really care Everybody's got somebody to lean on Put your body next to mine, and dream on I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled I've been robbed and ridiculed In day care centers and night schools Handle me with care Been stuck in airports, terrorized Sent to meetings, hypnotized Overexposed, commercialized Hand me with care I'm so tired of being lonely I still have some love to give Won't you show me that you really care Everybody's got somebody to lean on Put your body next to mine, and dream on I've been uptight and made a mess But I'll clean it up myself, I guess Oh, the sweet smell of success Handle me with care

Song: Dirty World
Lyrics:
He love your sexy body, he loves your dirty mind He loves when you hold him when you grab him from behind Oh baby, you're such a pretty thing I can't wait to introduce you to the other members of my gang You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me If you need you oil changed I'll do it for you free Oh baby, the pleasure would be all mine If you let me drive your pickup truck and park it where the sun don't shine Every time he touches you his hair stands up on end His legs begin to quiver and his mind begins to bend Oh baby, you're such a tasty treat But I'm under doctor's orders, I'm afraid to overeat He love your sense of humor, your disposition too There's absolutely nothing that he don't love about you Oh baby, I'm on my hands and knees Life would be so simple if I only had you to please Oh baby, turn around and say goodbye You go to the airport now and I'm going home to cry He loves your...

Song: Last Night
Lyrics:
She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all Last night, thinking about last night Last night, thinking about last night She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet We went up to her room and she lowered the boom Last night, thinking about last night Last night, thinking about last night Down below they danced and sang in the street While up above the walls were steaming with heat Last night, thinking about last night Last night, thinking about last night I was feeling no pain, feeling good in my brain I looked in her eyes, they were full of surprise Last night, talking about last night Last night, talking about last night I asked her to marry me she smiled and pulled out a knife The party's just beginning she said, it's your money or you life Last night, talking about last night Last night, talking about last night Now I'm back at the bar, she went a little too far She done me wrong, all I got is this song Last night, thinking about last night Last night, thinking about last night

Song: Not Alone Anymore
Lyrics:
You always said that I'd be back again That I'd come running to you in the end I thought that you were on your own And now I find you're not alone I'll see you through the rain Through the heartache and pain It hurts like never before You're not alone any more You always said that I would know someday Just how it feels when your love walks away I let you down I let you go I lost you, how was I to know I'll see you through the rain Through the heartache and pain It hurts like never before You're not alone any more I never knew I could feel this way I never could see past yesterday You feel that everything is gone I feel it too, you're not alone I'll see you through the rain Through the heartache and pain It hurts like never before You're not alone any more

Song: Congratulations
Lyrics:
Congratulations for breaking my heart Congratulations for tearing it all apart Congratulations you finally did succeed Congratulations for leaving me in need This morning I looked out my window and found A bluebird singing but there was no one around At night I lay alone in my bed With an image of you goin' around in my head Congratulations for bringing me down Congratulations now I'm sorrow bound Congratulations you got a good deal Congratulations how good you must feel I guess that I must have loved you more than I ever knew My would is empty now cause it don't have you And if I had just one more chance to wind your heart again I would do things differently but what's the use to pretend Congratulations for making me wait Congratulations now it's too late Congratulations you came out on top Congratulations you never did know when to stop Congratulations

Song: Heading For The Light
Lyrics:
I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands I was lost in the night with no sight of you And at times it was so blue and lonely Heading for the light Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm Heading for the light Ooh - I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned I didn't know the mess I was in My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm Heading for the light Ooh - my hands were tired Jokers and fools on either side But still I kept on till the worst had gone Now I see the hole I was in My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm Heading for the light I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back All the dreams are coming true as I think of you Now there's nothing in the way to stop me Heading for the light Now there's nothing in the way to stop me Heading for the light

Song: Margarita
Lyrics:
Margarita, ah Margarita, ah Ooh It was in Pittsburgh late one night I lost my hat, got into a fight I rolled and tumbled till I saw the light Went to the big apple, took a bite Still the sun went down your way Down from the blue into the gray Where I stood I saw you walk away You danced away I asked her what we're gonna do tonight She said "Cahuenga Langa-Langa-Shoe Box Soup" We better keep tryin' till we get it right Tala mala sheela jaipur dhoop She wrote a long letter on short piece of paper Oh margarita don't stay away too long Come on home Oh margarita don't say you will when you won't Margarita

Song: Tweeter And The Monkey Man
Lyrics:
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey Line So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99 And the walls came down all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill It was out on thunder road - Tweeter at the wheel They crashed into paradise - they could hear them tires squeal The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you's a liar If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire And the walls came down all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell An ambulance rolled up - a state trooper close behind Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit He was taking the whole thing personal He didn't care about the loot Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught And the walls came down all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas The undercover cop had cornered them said "Boy, you didn't think that this could last" Jan jumped out of bed said "There's someplace I gotta go" She took a gun out of the drawer and said "It's best if you don't know" The undercover cop was found face down in a field The monkey man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl" And the walls came down all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den The TV set been blown up, every bit of it is gone Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done Sometime I think of Tweeter, sometime I think of Jan Sometime I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man And the walls came down all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell

Song: End Of The Line
Lyrics:
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze Well it's all right, if you live the life you please Well it's all right, doing the best you can Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring Waiting for someone to tell you everything Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring Maybe a diamond ring Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong Well it's all right, As long as you got somewhere to lay Well it's all right, everyday is Judgment Day Maybe somewhere down the road aways You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays Purple haze Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove Well it's all right, if you got someone to love Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive It don't matter if you're by my side I'm satisfied Well it's all right, even if you're old and gray Well it's all right, you still got something to say Well it's all right, remember to live and let live Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze Well it's all right, if you live the life you please Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
