No sense pretending it´s over
Hard times just don´t go away
You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
it´s time you open up
Have some faith

Nothing good ever comes easy
All good things come in due time
Yes it does
You gotta have something to believe in
I´m telling you to open mind

Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
you´ve got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line

You see yourself in the mirror
And you don´t like what you see
And things aren't getting much clearer
don´t you think it´s time...

(with Dave Mason)

Save me...
Save me...

She's not a star
But she'll go far
So she's telling
all her friends
She's only young
and just begun
To see clearly
In her eyes

Nothing turned out
like she thought
it would
(Thought it would)
And I was waiting
right there where
she stood

She said: save me
From this wicked
world I'm livin' in
She said: save me
I don't wanna
lose, I wanna win
I can't run and I can't hide
(Can't run, can't hide away)
I can't run and I can't hide
(Can't run, can't hide away)
She said: save me
(Save me, girl)
She said save me...
Ooh!

All on her own
She's on the phone
So sincerely...
Ooh... makin' a joke
There's...

Stone shaker is looking fine
She's a heart-breaker every time
She never seems to realize
That someday she'll be crying too. Oo!

(She is) A sharp shooter that's moving fast
A slight cruiser loaded with gas
Slowing down to make a pass
You think it's gonna hit you,
So why not take a chance?

'Cause this is Hot Street (Burnin' It Up)
Just feel the night beat, yeah. (Fun on the run)
'Cause this is Hot Street (Ready or not)
Because the fantasy will never stop
on Hot Street - Oo!

A street walker when there's time to spare
Big spenders holding their share
A heart of gold, but no one cares.
(No one seems to care)
Within...

You ever want something
that you know you shouldn't have
The more you know you shouldn't have it,
The more you want it
And then one day you get it,
It's so good too
But it's just like my girl
When she's around me
I just feel so good, so good
But right now I just feel cold, so cold
Right down to my bones
'Cause ooh...
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home...
