    1. Hip To Hoo

      She's the same - broken promises
      Tryin' to make me out a fool, fool, fool
      [ Cheat, cheat, cheat - don't do it now ]
      In your game - you pick the players
      Miscalculations make the rule, rule, rule

      Ooh, yes, you're breaking my heart
      You're breakin' my heart

      So strange - and when it comes apart
      You look and laugh and then you cry, cry, cry
      [ Cheat, cheat, cheat - don't do it now ]
      There's a change, withholding information
      When I ask you, ask me why, why, why

      Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop, stop hurtin' me baby
      Stop again, stop again, stop again
      Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop, stop hurtin' me baby
      Stop again, stop again, stop again

      [ Cheat, cheat, cheat -- ]
      Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop, stop hurtin' me baby
      Stop again, stop again, stop again

      So sweet, with your innocence
      I've found the cutest step, so cute
      [ Cheat, cheat, cheat - don't do it now ]
      She's the same - broken promises
      Tryin' to make me out a fool, fool, fool

      You're breaking my heart, oh yeah --
      Give it to me baby --
      I really want to know --

    2. Kallalou Kallalou

      Oh please don't go - no please don't go
      No please don't go - you're breaking my heart again
      How long, so long - who can tell me
      Would I be wrong - very likely
      So long's too long - I'll be on my own again
      How fair is farewell? - fair to who?
      No-one can tell - tell it true
      Still in the stands - I'm back on my own again

      [ You're all I know - no story ]
      [ You're all I know - please don't worry, don't worry ]
      Don't worry baby - don't cry no more

      How fair is farewell? - fair to who?
      No-one can tell - tell it true
      Still in the stands - I'm back on my own again

      So please don't go - no please don't go
      No please don't go - you're breaking my heart again

      [ You're all I know - no story ]
      [ You're all I know - please don't worry, don't worry ]
      Don't you want me

      Old ties that bind - don't stop the wheeling
      Too late to find - no-one is really
      Locked on mine - back on my own again
      Please don't go - no please don't go --
      You're breaking my heart again

    3. Too Loud

      It's in the elevator - you can hear it in the hall
      It's where you didn't want it - it's coming through the wall
      Sneakin' in the bathroom, powdering your nose
      Creeping in the johnny when you thought it didn't know
      'Cause you're too loud, too loud, too loud
      Yes you're too loud, too loud, too loud

      Smile across the front page - watch the cover spread
      Vanity's the video - an epic in your bed
      Coke files, profiles - Johnny's in a spin
      In the name of entertainment on the show that never ends
      'Cause you're too loud, too loud, too loud
      Yes you're too loud, too loud, too loud

      Talk to them, Victor
      [ This time - that's right now ]
      [ Hold tightly - that's right now -- ]

      Staring at the ceiling - tired of counting sheep
      Alone with indiscretion it's impossible to sleep
      Rings on your fingers - bells on your toes
      You're never there without it if you're ever there at all
      'Cause you're too loud, too loud, too loud
      Yes you're too loud, too loud, too loud

      That's right now [ followed by a spoken run-out ]

    4. Trouble Your Money

      I had a dream last night - didn't come as a surprise
      When I woke up wet with the moon in my eyes
      Just the same old dream - like the one before
      But this time I thought you were there for sure
      Hot-blooded, red-handed by me
      I don't know what I'm gonna do

      So when I wake up - every night it's the same
      Just lying there staring and confused yet again
      I could swear now I do as I fumble in the dark
      For the line or the light from the tear in my heart
      It's here again - hot-blooded, heavy-headed, baby - looking for you
      And here it comes again --

      Now I will carry the torch - I will come with the flame
      For the friend that I meet in my sleep with no name
      Had a dream last night - didn't come as a surprise
      When I woke up wet with the moon in my eyes
      Here I am, here I am again, looking for you
      And here it comes again --
      Every night it's the same --

    5. Pink And Black

      Hold me - hold me
      I know I used to run around
      Now I'm sure I'll settle down
      Maybe what they say is true
      All those times I had with you
      People said that I won't change
      The song will still remain the same
      I know what you need and so
      Hold me tight and don't let go
      Don't start saying goodbye to me
      Don't start saying goodbye to me

      I owe you - hurt a thing or two
      Love me truly - love me do
      I only hope that I'm around
      Well, that's just something downed
      I don't think that lie is true
      But I'll just leave that up to you
      But I know what you need and so
      Come on hold me tight - don't let go
      Better stop saying goodbye breaking my heart
      Don't start saying goodbye breaking my heart

      When I tell you that I love
      When I tell you that I care
      When I tell you that I love you
      When I tell you that anyway
      When I tell you that - when I tell you that --
      You know, you really wanna know

      Will you try - remember me
      What I've got is what you need
      'Cause I know what you need and so
      Hold me tight and don't let go
      Stop saying goodbye breaking my heart
      Stop saying goodbye breaking my heart --

    6. Little By Little

      Little by little, my heart green
      Little by little, I call your name
      Little by little, my tears fall
      Little by little, everything changes

      Little by little, the time goes
      Little by little, the days pass by
      Little by little, the air clears
      Little by little, I can breathe again
      I can breathe again --

      Back at the mirror - your good friend
      Talk to the mirror, but play out your game
      Sat in the middle, I stop then
      Look at the winner, and the price you pay

      Close the window - I tremble
      Love was a fall that had no end
      Now little by little - the air clears
      Little by little, I can breathe again
      I can breathe again --

      I call your name - I call your name
      I call your name - I call your name
      Everything changes - everything changes
      I call your name
      I can breathe again --

    7. Doo Doo A Do Do

      Nobody can do the bop, like you do
      Nobody can do the burn, like you do
      Nobody can do the jerk, like you do
      Oh, no, no
      Come on - dance in the dark
      You're looking so fine
      Dance with me baby

      Nobody can use what they've got, like you do
      Because it's so hot - like you do
      Teasing won't stop, won't stop you
      No, no, no
      Shake for me baby - let me be your lover man
      Shake little girl, little girl

      You stole my heart - nobody can do it so well

      Would you think I'm a fool, a fool for you
      A dirty old fool, a fool for you
      You know I'm a fool, a fool for you
      Oh, oh, oh
      I'll be a fool for you darlin'
      Ooh, movin' so fast
      Your fool, little girl

      You stole my heart - nobody can do it so well

      Oh, it's a new kind of man - come on girl
      Oh, it's a new kind of man - dancing by me again
      Dance - do that burn now baby, dance
      I'm feeling fine, fine --

      Nobody can do the bop, like you do
      Nobody can do the burn, like you do
      Nobody can do the jerk, like you do
      No, no, no
      [ Dance dance -- ]
      You're body moves, your body moves so well
      [ Dance dance, mm-mm-mambo -- ]

    8. Easily Lead

      Please don't you do it to me no more
      Don't you do it to me - I wouldn't do it to you
      And don't you do it to me

      The feeling's honest as I lie sleeping with burning desire
      Trying to be nice and all in keeping - lying on my fire
      Oh, she's so professional - she's so professional
      She's just as cool as ice, and every time she smiles
      She is so professional, so professional

      She's so professional - she's just as cool as ice
      Every time she smiles - you know it's rather nice
      She needs a confidante - you tell her you're the one
      With the mouth that smiles, and then she has to leave
      Never satisfied, as I light up my fire
      She is so professional, so professional

      Wouldn't do it to you - so don't you do it to me

      Playing with me like you do - it's okay
      You only want me when you want to - but it's alright
      About time I got the answer - I'll pay
      Now I find I finally lost my reason, tonight

      I wouldn't do it to you, so why you do it to me
      I wouldn't do it to you
      Paying the price of love is cheaper - I'm not the only buyer
      Sugar and spice a choice of sweetenin' takes him to acquire
      Oh, she's so professional, so professional
      It's just a change of pace - it's just a change of way

      Playing with me like you do [etc repeated]

      You twist me this way and that way, and I don't know
      Which way that you want me to go
      Come on babe - what do you want me to do?
      Come on baby - don't you be untrue
      Been loving you far too long
      I don't know where my love has gone
      Ain't paying the price no more
      I ain't paying the price no more
      You're the only, only, only girl in my dreams - I love you
      I've been lonely, lonely, lonely so long now
      I've been waiting for you - I love you --

    9. Sixes And Sevens

      Sundown - another busy day watching the time fly
      Old ground standing in the way, and I don't know why
      'Cause here I am making changes
      Alterations in my house of cards
      But I've a whole new arrangement
      Am I at home, am I at home, am I?

      Look down - almost with my baby as the time flies
      I found I've lost an invitation - I don't know why
      I'm so behind in my repayments
      This whole beration must be overdue
      But I'm at sixes with the statements
      Am I at six, am I at six, am I?

      Another twist of fortune - it wasn't in the plan
      A new design for living - to do the best I can
      To do the best I can - to do the best I can

      Sometimes I nearly always do, but then I'm with you
      Each time it comes as a surprise that they should do
      Another drain on my resources
      Information's getting out of hand
      And I'm at home with all the courses
      Am I at home, am I at home, am I, am I, am I ?
