A black cat moans
When he’s burning with the fever,
A stray dog howls
When he’s lonely in the night,
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he’s sick and tired of life.
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I’m wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind.
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry.
The sun is shining
Oh, but, it’s raining in my heart.
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
‘Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you’re crying in the rain,
When you’re crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.
I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted,
Tho’ I’ve been mistreated
I keep coming back for more, more, more.
I know where I’m going
There’s no hope of absolution,
I can’t seem to separate
The good times from the bad.
The sun is shining
Oh baby, it’s still raining in my heart, in my heart.
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you’re crying in the rain,
When you’re crying in the rain,
When you’re crying in the rain,
When you’re crying in the rain, no, no, no.
(Solo)
The sun is shining
But, it’s raining in my heart.
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you’re crying in the rain…
Crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.
I know you, you know me
I’m the black sheep of the family,
I’m in an’ out of trouble
I’m the talk of the town.
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down.
I steal around, like a thief in the night
Dancing ’til the break of day.
Bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight.
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city.
I see you, you see me
Just a black street boy in society
With high-heeled women full of champagne an’ lies,
Getting wild in the street
‘Til the hot sunrise.
Stealing round like a thief in the night
Dancing ’til the break of day.
Bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight.
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city,
Wild in the city,
Wild in the city.
(Solo)
Bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight.
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city.
I know you, you know me
I’m the black sheep of the family,
I’m in an’ out of trouble
I’m the talk of the town.
I get wild in the street
When the sun goes down.
I don’t care what the people think,
I can’t hear what the people say,
I steal around like a thief in the night
Dancing ’til the break of day.
Bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight.
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Bad, bad, bad boys,
Running undercover of moonlight.
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street,
Wild in the city.
Undercover of moonlight…
In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door.
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more.
In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what’s in store,
My heart start aching.
My body start a shaking
And I can’t take no more, no, no.
Now I just wanna get close to you
An’ taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.
In the Still of the Night.
In the Still of the Night.
Over here baby.
In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun.
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I’m waiting for the night to come.
In the Still of the Night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel heart is aching
In the Still of the Night.
(Solo)
Tell me here baby.
In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door.
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more.
Now I just wanna get close to you
An’ taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.
In the Still of the Night…
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night…
I don’t know where I’m going
But, I sure know where I’ve been.
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday,
An’ I’ve made up my mind,
I ain’t wasting no more time
But, here I go again, here I go again.
Tho’ I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I’m looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on,
‘Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own,
Going down the only road I’ve ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An’ I’ve made up my mind,
I ain’t wasting no more time.
Just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love’s sweet charity.
An’ I’m gonna hold on for the rest of my days,
‘Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own,
Going down the only road I’ve ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An’ I’ve made up my mind,
I ain’t wasting no more time.
But, here I go again, here I go again,
Here I go again, here I go.
(Solo)
An’ I’ve made up my mind,
I ain’t wasting no more time.
Here I go again on my own,
Going down the only road I’ve ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An’ I’ve made up my mind,
I ain’t wasting no more time.
Here I go again on my own,
Going down the only road I’ve ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
‘Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams…
When I first saw you baby
You took my breath away,
I knew your name was Trouble
But, my heart got in the way.
I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out,
I could not turn away.
I don’t even know your name
An’ I can’t leave you alone,
I’m running round in circles
Like a dog without a bone.
I know the game you’re playing
But, baby I just can’t let go.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I’ll do anything you want
Just give me all of your loving tonight.
I’ll work hard everyday
To love and treat you right.
I’ll rock you in the morning
And roll you in the night.
Any way you want
I’m gonna prove my love for you.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I’ll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight.
(Solo)
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I’ll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I’ll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight.
I am blinded by your smile
And I’m crazy about your walk.
I shiver and I shake
When I hear you baby talk.
I’m a fool for your loving babe,
Give me all your loving tonight.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I’ll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight.
Anything you want from me.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight.
I’ll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight.
I should have known better
Than to let you go alone,
It’s times like these
I can’t make it on my own.
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
And I can’t wait to see you again.
I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call,
How can I tell you, baby
My back’s against the wall.
I need you by my side
To tell me it’s alright,
‘Cos I don’t think I can take anymore.
Is this love that I’m feeling,
Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for.
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
‘Cos it’s really got a hold on me,
A hold on me.
I can’t stop the feeling
I’ve been this way before
But, with you I’ve found the key
To open any door.
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day,
An’ I can’t wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms.
Is this love that I’m feeling,
Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for.
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
‘Cos it’s really got a hold on me,
A hold on me.
(Solo)
Is this love that I’m feeling,
Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for.
Is this love or am I dreaming,
Is this the love, that I’ve been searching for…
I’m getting ready
I’m in the mood to fool around.
It’s time for action
Now the boys are back in town.
So turn up the music,
Make it loud and proud.
Let’s see reaction
Let the spotlight hit the crowd.
Don’t hide what you feel inside,
Don’t let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher.
Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
You got the power,
I feel your fire in my soul.
You got the fever,
‘Cos you were born to rock an’ roll.
Don’t run for cover,
I’m gonna show you what I’ve learned.
Just come a little closer,
Come on an’ get your fingers burned.
Don’t hide what you feel inside,
Don’t let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher.
Now are you ready to rock,
Are you ready to roll,
Are you ready to rock.
(Solo)
Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
I’m getting ready,
I’m in the mood to fool around.
It’s time for action,
‘Cos now the boys are back in town.
Don’t hide what you feel inside,
Don’t let anybody stand in your way,
Just let the music take you higher.
Now are you ready to rock,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to rock,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
Are you ready to rock,
Are you ready to roll,
Children of the night.
Just let the music take you higher.
I’m coming round to see you,
Kicking down your door.
I’ve got to tell you girl
I really can’t take no more.
‘Cos I’ve been hearing about you
Everybody says you’re front page news
Laying it down, all around the town
Giving all the boys the blues.
Stand and deliver in the name of love,
I’m coming after you,
I’ll tell you want I’m gonna do.
I’m going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy.
Going straight for the heart
I’m gonna drive you insane.
I never loved a woman
The way that I love you.
I can’t escape the feeling,
You don’t know what you’re putting me through.
So stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand.
Straight for the heart.
I’m going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy.
Going straight for the heart
I’m gonna drive you insane.
(Solo)
You got the love I dream of
The kind that cost so much,
Just cover me with kisses, baby
Surrender to my touch.
Stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand.
I’m coming after you,
I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do.
I’m going straight for the heart
Gonna drive you crazy.
Going straight for the heart
I’m gonna drive you insane.
Straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy.
Going straight for the heart,
I’m gonna drive you insane.
Straight for the heart.
You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sanest
As you surrender to your fears.
So what’s a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you.
Don’t turn away, before the night is over.
Don’t turn away, before the night is gone.
Don’t turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don’t turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone.
You say your heart is lost forever
And you’re always gonna give your love in vain.
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again.
You turn away from what you feel inside,
You can’t forget all your foolish pride.
Don’t turn away, before the night is over.
Don’t turn away, before the night is gone.
Don’t turn away, the night may hold the answer.
So don’t turn away, before the night is gone.
(Solo)
So now I’m asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain.
Do you wanna drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again.
Don’t turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride.
Don’t turn away, before the night is over.
Don’t turn away, before the night is gone.
Don’t turn away, the night may hold the answer.
So don’t turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone.
Don’t turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Don’t put me away,
Don’t walk away from me darling.
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An’ I’m coming for you, baby.
