Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in.

Our love is a flame burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin' in.

Wherever you go, whatever you do
You know these reckless thoughts of mine are following you
I've fallen for you, whatever you do
'Cause, baby, you've shown me so many things that I never knew
Whatever it takes, baby, I'll do it for you.

Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in.

Our love is a flame burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin' in.

You were so young, ah, and I was so free
I may have been young, but, baby, that's not what I wanted to be.
Well, you were the one, oh, why was it me?
'Cause, baby, you show me so many things that I never see
Whatever you need, baby, you've got it from me.

Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in.

Our love is a flame burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin' in.

Stumblin' in, stumblin' in
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in

Ah, stumblin' in, mmmh, stumblin' in
Now and then firelight will catch us

Oh, stumblin' in, ah, I was stumblin' in
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in.
Oh, stumblin' in, ah, stumblin' in
I was stumblin' in
We were stumblin' in

Go ahead and laugh at me, try to be the man you oughta be
Baby it's not hard to see what's going on
Well maybe we should celebrate, drink champagne, why should we wait
Why don't we ask some friends around, they can help us play this game we found
Let's bring everybody down
Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for

Here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on
Hand in hand as we break the rules and the race is on
What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong
You may say why begin when we both can't win, but the race goes on
Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on

Well surprise surprise, a few more lies, or do we simply call them alibis
This life we lead aint fooling either one of us
And while we're having so much fun let's not forget the lonely ones
It's lonely falling out of love, this game we play can be so rough
Now maybe we've gone far enough
Are you sure you know just what where heading for

Here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on
Hand in hand as we break the rules and the race is on
What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong
You may say why begin when we both can't win, but the race goes on
Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on

Here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on
Hand in hand as we break the rules and the race is on
What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong
You may say why begin when we both can't win, but the race goes on
Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on

She's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you down, she'll never fool around
'Cos she's in love with you

So if you see her all alone one night walk up to her discreetly, ask her why
And if she replies with words that don't make sense it may be just because she's shy
Don't take advantage of her lack of understanding just because you think you could
Treat her right, treat her good, take her home and make her feel the way she should

'Cos she's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you down, she'll never fool around
'Cos she's in love with you
She's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you go, she may not let you know, but she's in love with you

So if you happen to be out one night and someone asks you where you're gonna go
Just remember she's not like the other girls she may not want them all to know
Though she may need a little time she never wants to stand in line the way they would
So treat her nice, treat her good, treat her like you know you should
You may never find another girl like her

'Cos she's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you down, she'll never fool around
'Cos she's in love with you
She's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you go, she may not let you know, but she's in love with you

So take her home and hold her close, touch her where she feels it most, but be true
And when she's making love to you, she'll do what you want her to
Treat her good, treat her like you know you should
You may never find another girl like her

'Cos she's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you down, she'll never fool around
'Cos she's in love with you
She's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you go, she may not let you know, but she's in love with you
She's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you go, she may not let you know, but she's in love with you
'Cos she's in love with you, that's all she wants to do
She'll never let you down, she'll never fool around
'Cos she's in love with you

Well since my baby left me
I've found a new place to dwell
It's down the end of Lonely Street - Heartbreak Hotel
You leave me so lonely baby
You leave me so lonely
You leave me so lonely I could die
I could die
Are you lonely
Like I'm lonely

The joint's always crowded, but still they find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry away their gloom
You leave me so lonely baby
You leave me so lonely
You leave me so lonely I could die
I could die
Are you lonely
Like I'm lonely
Are you lonely
Like I'm lonely

If your baby leaves you
And you've got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
You leave me so lonely baby
You leave me so lonely
You leave me so lonely I could die
I could die
Are you lonely
Like I'm lonely

You asked if you could stay the night
I could see right along that we could get it on I said yeah

Gonna spin my wheel's all over this town
If I catch you with your trousers down
The stories you heard they're gonna be confirmed
You won't believe your eyes
'Cause you'll be paralyses
Mechanized
Sterilized
You'll be paralyzed

Behind my cheek just a little mystique I said yeah
When I call you up at home you better be alone Isaid yeah
And I might only need you once a week
I get my kicks from magazines
The stories you heard they're gonna be confirmed
You won't believe your eyes
'Cause you'll be paralyzed
Mechanized
Sterilized
You'll be paralyzed

You asked if you could stay the night
And just to be polite I said yeah

Say, sugar-honey you've gotta act like me
Well, you can take a passion-lovin' panther
Make him week at the knees
You can shake him like a rattle, and roll him like a dice
But, honey, you know I'm too big to be nice
I gave away my independence to all them evil guys
And when I got too hot they put my lips on ice
Now I don't hold out with those wise-guys. I see through their disguise
'Cause, honey, you know I'm too big to be fooled twice
Well, I don't know all the answers, but I guess I know my share
And I've taken all the chances, but I never really care

Because I'm too big to be used
You know I'm too big for my boots
You know I'm too big to be abused
And honey...I never lose!
Now listen baby, watch the way you walk
And when it comes to talkin', watch the way you talk
He'll tear ya down and break ya and he'll make you if he can
But, honey, you're too big, too big for that man

You know he can't understand ya. You're breakin' all the rules
He's tried so hard to land ya. Just send him back to school
Because you're too big to be used
You know you're too big for your boots
You know you're too big to be abused
And honey...you'll never lose!

Born in the world of a fifty-dollar dream
Tailor-made coat with a straight back seam
Just can't resist the twilight life of a queen
Takin' pocket money givin' shady secrets back
Soft-spoken silhouette is part of the act
Mother's undertaker wouldn't dig you a hole in the wall

[Chorus]
Glycerin Queen fightin' hard to win
Glycerin Queen, Glycerin Queen
What's the matter, Queenie, Won't they let you in?
Glycerin Queen, Glycerin Queen

Five will get you ten here on the prowl again
Put your pot of gold in the lion's den
Your parasite mind ain't the truly respectable kind
Your life-style past is gonna get you soon
Spend a few years in a padded room
A book full of blues, bad memories to pass the time

[Chorus]

We all laughed at the Glycerin Queen
We all laughed at the Glycerin Queen
What's the matter, Queenie, Won't they let you in?

[Chorus]

Hey, you all want to go down to Devil Gate Drive?
Well, come on!

"All my life I've wanted to be somebody, and here I am.
I know what I've got, and there ain't nobody gonna take it away from me.
So let me tell ya what I am!"

I'm a red-hot fox. I can take the knocks
I'm a hammer from hell. Honey, can't you tell?
I'm the wild one. Yes, I'm the wild one
I'm a touched-up freak on a winning streak
I'm gonna own this town. You can't hold me down
I'm the wild one. Yes, I'm the wild one

Well it ain't no use. Turn me loose
More...more...I can't keep score

I've got my head screwed on, and the days are gone
When you kept me down, and you pushed me 'round
I'm the wild one. Yes, I'm the wild one

I'm a blue-eyed bitch and I wanna get rich
Get out of my way 'cause I'm here to stay
I'm the wild one. Yes, I'm the wild one
Well it ain't no use. Turn me loose
More...more...I can't keep score...YEAH!
Well it ain't no use. Turn me loose

I'm gonna own this town. You can't hold me down
I'm the wild one. Yes, I'm the wild one

Well you call your mamma tiger
And we all know you are lying
And your boyfriend's name is eagle
And he lives up in the sky (high high)
Watch out the tiger don't go claw the eagle's eye
But let the eagle take the tiger by surprise
Scratch out her eyes

So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can
If you can
Well can the can

Well your sister's got the feline touch, she touches up your mind
And your eagle lover likes his little bit of evil loving all the time
Don't let the cat get into the eagle's nest at night
Because the eagle could say "yes" without a fight
Scratch out her eyes

So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can Can the can
If you can
Well can the can

Ooh can the can (Can the can honey)
