Girls With Guns Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I'll tell you now And I won't tell you twice Where when and how I got some bad advice I never thought I could handle A girl with guns And let me tell you You can bet that I'm not the only one Stand tall, don't think small Don't get your back against the wall Shoot straight, I can't wait Aim for the heart and fire away I've come around I understand today And she's the target now I'm gonna have my way I always heard Don't go messing with a girl with guns She don't need you She couldn't love you She couldn't be any fun Stand tall, don't think small Don't get your back against the wall Shoot straight, I can't wait Aim for the heart and fire away An innocent bystander Who forgets to look both ways Who never tries to understand her Won't feel the heat 'til it's too late Stand tall, don't think small Don't get your back against the wall Shoot stra...

Lonely School Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I drove past where we used to live You might have caught a glimpse of me As I passed by I swear it's still hard to believe But at the time it seemed so clear to me I thought I had it all worked out I packed all that was dear to me And I left without a doubt that I'd Given it all I had to give Still nothing moved nothing changed Nothing lived I did everything that I could do But now I've had time to sort it out To graduate from lonely school And now I've got to let you know It's me who was the fool It was me baby I was wrong But how can I say it You must have known it all along It was you who was always strong And I've got to tell you now I've got to show you how I've Changed so many of my ways I left the band, steadied my hand and learned a trade And I'm coming back this time to stay And you won't recognize the boy Who graduated lonely school 'Cause I've become quite wise about...

Please Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung I saw you standing by the juke-box Saturday night You had a couple of drinks and your best friend's advice Two wrongs made us fight I've honestly had my fill of rumors and lies If my words aren't enough for you, then look in my eyes 'Cause baby, if you trust me let it show Don't be so insecure about my love It's hard for me to show emotion But don't be fooled, my heart is open And you're the only one I really need Please--I've run out of words to say to you Ma-ma-ma Please--I've done everything you've asked me to Ma-ma-ma Please--Oh Please I've tried to live up to your expectations Please--Oh Please So let's give our love one more chance I saw your face in the crowd last Saturday night You were acting as if I didn't exist Blinded by your own light I don't ask that much from you, so why can't you see I need to feel that I'm special to you Your love's wha...

Kiss Me Hello Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw If you had things to do over Would you do them just the same Would you maybe see yourself As just a player in the game And if hindsight's twenty-twenty Would it help you see at all Would you never try the mountain Are you too afraid you'd fall And what would you do for the money What would you do for fun Would you leave yourself defenseless Would you get yourself a gun Ooh kiss me hello Ooh kiss me hello Outside it's pouring and there's No use in ignoring That I've stayed too long My hands are shaking But I can't control my feet They're making tracks for the door Do you think you'd try the backroads Maybe ones less clearly marked Would you make love in the daylight Would you come out of the dark Would you hold your thoughts in silence Would you free them with a shout Would you demonstrate your patience While your destiny's dealt out Ooh kiss me hello Ooh kiss me hello Outside it's pour...

Fading Away Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Too bad the bad conversation Too bad the poor choice of words Don't let me go and spoil the party It's not the end of the world There's a reason why you're fading away Fading away I know you want things to be perfect And I've done the best that I could There's no use in asking your forgiveness Cause it's never done me any good There's a reason why you're fading away There's a reason why you're fading away And in the morning when You get around to counting all the casualties Oh you lined them up and you dropped them One by one So you open up your eyes and You see the cold pale face of reality And there's a shiver in your spine 'Cause you see that there's damage you've done And there's a reason why you're fading away There's a reason why you're fading away Fading, fading, fading, fading away Fading, fading, fading, fading away

Desert Moon Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung "Is this the train to Desert Moon?" was all she said But I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before I turned to look into her eyes, but she moved away She was standing in the rain Trying hard to speak my name They say first love never runs dry The waiter poured our memories into tiny cups We stumbled over words we longed to hear We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up When a whistle cut the night And shook silence from our lives As the last train rolled towards the dune Those summer nights when we were young We bragged of things we'd never done We were dreamers, only dreamers And in our haste to grow too soon We left our innocence on Desert Moon We were dreamers, only dreamers On Desert Moon, on Desert Moon On Desert Moon, Desert Moon I still can hear the whisper of the summer night It echoes in the corners of my heart The night we stood and waited for the desert train All the wor...

Little Girl World Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw The young girl says no to her fumbling beau And she can't help from wondering why And how she might feel If she ever revealed The love she so carefully hides So she hides She hides in her little girl world Safe from the forces that make her give in Safe from the boy who tries time and again And goes home He mother said wait From the time she turned eight For the right man would someday appear And don't you give in To those fast-talking men They'll just love you and leave you my dear So she hides Yes, she hides in her little girl world Safe from the forces that make her give in Safe from the boy who tries time and again And goes home Where's the rainbow She stares out from the room Where's my prince on his white horse Lord, I hope he comes soon And the boy comes The boy goes And nobody else really knows What she knows She won't say But she knows that he'll be back on the very next day So she hi...
