She had sulky smile
She took her standard pose as she presented herself
She had sultry eyes, she made it perfectly plain that she was his
For a price

But he said "leave me alone, i'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite"
He said "leave me alone, i'm a family man
But if you push me too far i just might"

She wore hurt surprise as she rechecked her make-up to protect herself
Dropped her price and pride she made it totally clear that she was his
For a night

She gave him her look, it would have worked on any other man around
He looked her up and down, she knew he couldn't decide if he should
Hold his ground

She turned, tossed her head unlike her opening move, her final exit line
He waited much too long but by the time he got his courage up she was gone
Then he screamed "leave me alone, i'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite"
He said "leave me alone, i'm a family man
But if you push me too far, i just might"

Music and lyrics: oates

I see i see i see all the monumental ruinization
I see i see i see the greatest works of art in western civilization
Ooh but where are
Tell me where are
Ooh but where are the italian girls?

I drink i drink i drink too much vino rosso no more amarone
I eat i eat i eat so much pasta basta i'm so full and yet so lonely

Ooh but where are
Tell me where are
Ooh but where are the italian girls?

I see sophia on the silver screena
There must be more like her in roma
I believe i believe i believe in la donna italiana belissima
I need, i need, i need some little dream come true please tell me where
They're keeping ya
Faccia bella cara mia
Somebody tell me where are the italian girls

Music and lyrics: hall

You need to make it on your own
You wanna shake it go it alone
Whatever happened?
I did alright by you
I can feel the passion girl
Its still as strong
Though the places have turned around
Oh i can be the one to wait
You take the easy way out
I'm no one to doubt
(if that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo
(you can take the lead)
Play a brand new part
Go solo, solo

You say there's trouble in paradise
I'm only joking but you better be right
Oh, whatever happens, there ain't no turnin' 'round
I can understand you need to find yourself
Make a way without any help
Oh i can be the one who waits
To take the only way out
I'm no one to doubt
(if that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo
(you can take the lead)
Play a brand new part
Go solo, solo

I don't mind your flying blind
Just shake it up and take it to the break this time
Shake it up and take it to the break this time
This time, oh
Shake it up and take it, shake it up and take it girl
(if that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo, go solo
(you can take the lead)
Play a brand new part
Go solo

I could do good somehow
(if it ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo, oh girl
(you can take the lead)
Play a brand new part
Go solo

Oh, shake it up and take it, shake it up and take it
(if that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo
How could you go solo
(you can take the lead)
Play a new part
Go solo ooh
Shake it
(if that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo, solo

Lyrics: hall/oates/s. allen

I know you know all the pros and cons
They help you get to everything you want
Greasing policemen bending all the rules
Make them an offer that they can't refuse
One crime baby i can't forgive
The kind that hurts where i live
I'm a nice guy i try to wait and see
If you'll get caught or go free

You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seem like crime pays
Crime pays

Beat the heat but you couldn't pay me off
You're staying cool no matter what it costs
You get caught you'll never do the time
I have to say you've got a way with one crime baby i can't forgive
The kind that hurts where i live
It's all too clear but i still don't see
Why all the guilty go free

You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays
Crime pays
It seems like crime pays
Crime pays

Catch a thief and let her go
You won't get back the love she stole
Shake her down but she don't mind
'cause she commit the perfect crime ok, ok
You know i know you're a pro and con artiste
Oh baby you're a false alarm
Why do i try to play it by the rules
I was the victim but i'm not a fool

You stole my heart and left me blue
It looks like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays

Lyrics: hall/oates/s. allen

You strike a low blow
You fight a dirty fight
Right to the heart you're putting me away
Time was movin' slow
But i was in control
There were so many things i should've said
But couldn't think of one word
(delayed reaction) oh yeah
At first i was ashamed
Then i was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Say that (delayed reaction) oh no
At first i was alright
And then i had to fight
I wanted to hurt you
I wanted to hurt you so

It was a backlash
No i couldn't let it pass
I was so mad i couldn't keep it down
I made it real tough
Ooh i had to blow you off
I couldn't stand it having you around
I couldn't stand the sound, no
(delayed reaction) oh yeah
At first i was ashamed
And then i was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Say that (delayed reaction) oh no
At first i was alright
And then i had to fight with you
I wanted to hurt you
I wanted to hurt you so
But if the rage is right
Then you better be wrong
'cause if i force a fight well then i'm twice a fool
Ooh, i could've listened more
Was that what you were waiting for?
I can't imagine why
I can't imagine why
I can't imagine why you'd wanna let it go
I didn't wanna blow but
(delayed reaction) oh yeah
At first i was ashamed
And then i was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Say that delayed reaction oh no
At first i was alright
And then i had to fight with you
I wanted to hurt you so
(delayed reaction) oh yeah
Ooh i had to fight, fight, fight you
(delayed reaction oh no)
Just had to let the love blow to fight a dirty fight
9delayed reaction oh yeah)
What good is saying i lost my head i didn't mean it girl
(delayed reaction) oh no
Ooh baby, ooh baby
I can't imagine why you want to let it go
(delayed reaction)
Ooh, yeah the boys are fine and i'm twice the fool
(delayed reaction) oh no
I can't imagine why, i can't imagine why

Music: hall
Lyrics: hall/s. allen

I know how you spent your time
Too many people know you weren't alone
Your after hours followed you home
Oh i heard, he said
She was open all night
While i was away
She was open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
She was open all night
While i was away
You were open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who said

Gotta lotta friends i don't need
They say "you'd rather hear it first from me"
Maybe i don't wanna hear it at all
It's too far to fall so don't say
She was open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
No i don't want to tell you
