1. _ Some Men
Lyrics & music: daryl hall
Some men call half way around the world if they've got a phone game to play
Then again some men call their mom every day
Old boys drink bad beer and throw the cans out in the street
Playboys sit and sip red wine, some drink malt whiskey neat
So if you can, you talk about some men
If you can, you can talk about some men
Baby if you can, you can talk about some men
If you can, you can talk about some men
Colonels collect animal heads and hang their guns up on the wall
Corn balls watch television then pull a gun out in the hall
Crew-cut rainbows hang on streets hoping they'll find a friend
Odd balls running fast enough hope that they won't find their end
So if you can, you can talk about some men
Baby if you can, you can talk about some men
Sleep all night work all day
Work all night sleep all day
Drink all night sick all day
Sick all night drink all day
Dream all night if you can
We ain't soldiers so don't generalize
No categories because it takes all kinds
You can sleep all night you can work all day
You can trip all night peak all day
If you can, you can talk about some men

2. _ Head Above Water
Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
Oceans emotions yeah we all feel the same
Afraid of undertow and great tidal wave
May go under many hundred of times
Keep on kickin', baby throw me a line
C.c. sick, mai de mer
Try, try, try i'm holding on, holding my
Head above water
It's so hard to keep my head above water
No never envy the big fish in da pond
It's deep and dark when all the surface is gone
My kind of humor kind of keeping me dry
On the horizon, water touches the sky
C. c. sick, mal de mer
Try, try, try i'm holding on, holding my
Head above water
It's so hard to keep my head above water.

3. _ Unguarded Minute
Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
Maybe i speak too soon
Maybe i play too hard
And i listen to major worries in a minor way
You sent your message to me
Made a move that i'd understand
When you moved from a ticket in line
To a room in l.a.
There was a time spit second i could have said please
Fool around and my guard was down by a few degrees
An unguarded minute has an accident in it.
I guess i should have tried a little bit
Yeah, i could have changed
I could be anything that ya want
But it wouldn't be me
Do anything that you say
Use any thought to armor the way
So do you love them man that i am,
Or what you want me to be
I wanna hold you now but i can let you go
So anytime you can do better just let me know
An unguarded minute has an accident in it
I wanna hold you tight.

4. _ Mano A Mano
Lyrics & music: john oates
See a lot of people walking around and around
Terra firma turned them upside down
Too scared to reach out maybe afraid of what they'll find
But a hand stuck in a pocket come up empty every time
Now you better believe the writing on the wall
All for one one for all
Woman to woman and man to man
Face to face heart to heart hand to hand
Mano a mano
Hand to hand
Mano a mann
See a lot of people fighting for the left or the right
Fighting people see black or white
You'd like to go your way sure i'd like to go mine
But we're all in this together running out of time
Woman to woman and man to man
Heart to heart and hand to hand
Set on example for all the little boys and girls
For the hand that rocks the cradle can rule the world
Mano a mano
Hand to hand
Mano a mano

5. _ Did It In A Minute
Lyrics & music: daryl hall, sara allen, janna allen
When you find yourself alone
And when going out is coming home
You rely on "the kid" `cause there's nobody waiting around
If you're not an easy mark
It's a shot in the dark that hits the heart
I know when it's coming
(i thought so anyway)
Some things stay the some and some are due for change
I thought i had them all nailed down
But you turned `em around
You did you did it you did it you did it in a minute
It didn't take long
Well i still can't say i know
When a love is real or touch and go
And if two can be one, who is the one two becomes
Am i quick enough to see
When i'm ready and it's right for me
Say that i want it (i think so anyway)
Everybody always laughs at love
But what they want is to be proven wrong
Then you came along and i did it

6. _ Looking For A Good Sign
Lyrics & music: daryl hall
For days & days go up & go down
Looking for a sign from you
What you want where you goin'
What you thinking about
A lot of good it will do
Why are you fighting me
Why are you teasing me
Why are you wearing me
If you're not at ease with me
I'm lookin' for a good sign
I know that it might be a waste of my time
I'm always lookin' for a good sign
I've gotta keep on tryin'
Beware of the curves, always signal your turns
Soft shoulders slow you down, you know
There are signs to explain all conditions on the way
There's where to stop & which way to go
Why are you fighting me
Why are you teasing me
Why are you wearing me
If you're not at ease with me
I'm lookin' for a good sign
I know that it might be a waste of my time
I'm always lookin' for a good sign
I've gotta keep on tryin'
Well it's so hard to say if there's a better way
Should we have signed off before
I've got a lot in my heart
There's a light in your eyes
Don't you think that there could be some more.

7. _ Tell Me What You Want
Lyrics: daryl hall, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
When i look in your eyes i can see there's more than passion there
Something ugly and lovely is tuning in just behind your stare
Yeah, i've seen it before and i think that i'd know it anywhere
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know
Grin and bare it, no no i like what you're wearing
You gotta leave it on all night
As above so below so they say so can we do the magick [sic] right
Kiss and tell, when i know you so well there's no need to be polite
That's right
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know
Take a position `cause you know i'm gonna listen to you
Tell me
Ain't no conditions, no there isn't baby ya don't have to sell me
`cause i love you and i want you tonight
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know.

8. _ Friday Let Me Down
Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: john oates
Dial your number
Tape reply:
"i'm not at home right now, but leave your name
And i will call you friday night. call you friday good bye."
Hearing you and waiting make the days drag slowly
On the phone, oh no the tape again
Don't say not at home, no way
Friday let me down tonight
Weekend comes i try again
I hear the same recording
Hasn't changed
"i'm not at home right now. leave your name and i will call you."
Friday let me down tonight.

9. _ I Can't Go For That (no Can Do)
Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
Easy ready willing overtime
When does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line
You got the body now you want my soul
Don't even think about it say no go
Now i'll do anything you want me to
I'll do almost anything that you want me to
But i can't go for that
No can do
I can't go for being twice as nice
I can't go for just repeating the some old lines
Use the body now you want my soul
Oo forget about it say no go
Yeah i'll do anything you want me to
I'll do almost anything that you want me to
But i can't go for that
No can do.

10. _ Your Imagination
Lyrics & music: daryl hall
I remember when i used to be the jealous kind
I got over it, now you're taking over my old line
You're caring too much about what i say
You're wondering too much about what i do
And baby, your imagination
Imagination's got the best of you
I ain't doin' nothing that you could really say was wrong
Just one oversight and no that didn't last too long
Listen, you're caring too much about what i say
You're wondering too much about what i do
And baby, your imagination
Imagination's got the best of you
Don't know what you're looking for
What's this thing about "true blue"
You know i ain't no danger boy
You're the one i like to touch, touch you, you
When the mood is right, change the light and the moment's gone
Better turn around, `cause the light doesn't last too long
You're caring too much about what i say
You're wondering too much about what i do
And baby, your imagination
Imagination's got the best of you
Imagination, your imagination
Imagination, use your imagination.

11. _ Private Eyes
Lyrics & music: daryl hall, warren pash, sara allen, janna allen
I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin' the lines when you're making a scene
Oh girl, you've got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it's watching for lies
You can't escape my
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you watching you watching you watching you
You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that ain't enough
Cause girl i'm gonna know
If you're letting me in or letting me go
Don't lie when you're hurting inside
'cause you can't escape my
Private eyes
They're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
They're watching you
Private eyes
They're watching you watching you watching you watching you
Why you try to put up a front for me
I'm a spy but on your side you see
Slip on, into any disguise
I'll still know you
Look into my private eyes
