LOVE BITES
Def Leppard
(Clark/Collen/Elliott/Lange/Savage)

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of?
Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies?
And say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see?
Ooh babe
Ooh yeah
When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show?
Ooh c'mon
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need
When I'm with you are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
Oh
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need
Ooh yeah
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need
If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
Yes it does
It will be hell

BAD MOON RISING
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Music & Lyrics : J. C. Fogerty

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
All right!

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

BACKDOOR LOVER
DUjour
(Josie and the Pussycats Soundtrack)

Mmm yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Backdoor lover
Oohh, oh yeah

They say this kind
Of love is wrong
But you know
It feels so right
(Know it feels so right)
Slidin' my hands
Across your cheeks
Oh so smooth and white
(Smooth and white)
Turn out the light, oh baby
And lock your backdoor
I'll be comin' through
That way tonight
To love you for sure

Lying on your bed
Starin' up at the moon
You drive me crazy
Gotta love you soon
I'm your backdoor lover
Comin' from behind with
The lights down low
Backdoor lover
Just you and me
No one has to know
Backdoor lover
Let me meet you there
At your secret spot
I'll show you a love that's
More than hot

You know that
I won't hurt you
So open up and let me in
We love each other
Way too much
For it to be a sin
Some people use the front door
But that's never been my way
Just 'cause I slip in back door
Girl that doesn't make me, hey

Lying on your bed
Starin' up at the moon
You drive me crazy
Gotta love you soon
I'm your backdoor lover
Comin' from behind with
The lights down low
Backdoor lover
Just you and me,
No one has to know
Backdoor lover
Let me meet you there
At your secret spot
I'll show you a love that's
More than hot

Baby
Goin' 'round in circles
'Cause you're everything
And you know
What I want to do
Maybe we can get together
At your place tonight
So open your backdoor tonight

Backdoor lover
Comin' from behind with
The lights down low
Backdoor lover
Just you and me,
No one has to know
Backdoor lover
Let me meet you there
At your secret spot
I'll show you a love that's
More than hot
Backdoor love
You are my one and only
Backdoor love, oh
Backdoor love
You are my one and only
Love, oh

Backdoor lover
Comin' from behind with
The lights down low
Backdoor lover
Just you and me,
No one has to know
Backdoor lover
Let me meet you there
At your secret spot
I'll show you a love that's
More than hot

ALL I NEED
Jack Wagner

Kissing you is not what I had planned
And now I'm not so sure just where I stand
I wasn't looking for true love
But now you're looking at me
You're the only one I can think of
You're the only one I see

CHORUS:
All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need

Yes it's true we've all been hurt before
But it doesn't seem to matter anymore
It may be a chance we're taking
But it always comes to this
If this isn't love we're making
Then I don't know what it is

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
Cause it seems so hard to believe

CHORUS

No stars are out tonight
But we're shining our own light
And it's never felt so bright
Cause girl the way I'm feeling
It's easy to believe
That you're all I need

Ahhhh
You're all I need
Oooooh ahhhh

THE TOUCH
Ricky Martin

Oh, it's the
Middle of the night
And I'm reaching out for you
In the darkness
I can feel your touch
Break through
When I look
Into your eyes
And your skin's
Against my skin
I will hold you
'Till the sun comes crashing in
Where would I be now
Without the tenderness
That you possess
The touch

CHORUS:
The touch that
Makes me strong
That keeps me holding on
I come to you
When times are tough
Your love is just enough
To lift me up so high
There's nothing
I won't give
To be with you,
To reach for you
I live for the touch

Oh, I want to be
The one you need
I need to be
The one you see
I gotta justify the faith
You have in me
You're the beauty in my life
You're the sun that
Lights my soul
You're the other half
I need to make me whole
Who would I be now
Without the warmth
You bring to everything

CHORUS

All my life has been
A journey here to you
Every road and river
Brought me closer to the touch

CHORUS REPEATS

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO
Bonnie Tyler

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

(Chorus)
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

(Chorus)

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
