ONLY YOU CAN ROCK ME
(Michael Schenker/Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:08
Who's takin' time out
We'll take your shout out
We're the boys, we got nothin' to lose
I've had enough now of school stuff now
You ain't with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
Come out on the street now
On every corner
Breakin' out and we're doin' what we wanna
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane
We are here and there's no end We'll keep on comin' again
We are here and there's no end We'll just keep comin' again
PACK IT UP
(Michael Schenker/Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 3:14
I've got to sympathize You run with all the rest
You've kept on movin' But never got the best
And now the yesterdays, go sailing out of view
I know there's somethin' left, Hope you can make it through
Pack it up and go, pack it up and go
Leftover from the show
Just pack it up and go
You made the impact back in 1969
But now move over, friend
I think you've had your time
And all our yesterdays go sailing out of view
I know there's something left
Hope you can make it through
AIN'T NO BABY
(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:58
Hey there now, big shot, just listen to me
I know the score and there's no great mystery
I hear you talkin' and it's all been said
But what I'm thinkin' I keep inside my head
I ain't no baby, so get out of my way
Keep bein' with your own kind
it ain't none of your business, you got nothin' to say
Stay away forever
You play the cool star, it's a dangerous game
Don't forget the street and who gave you your name
Romancin' with the company as they pour in the crowds
The next thing is you, then who are the clowns
LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE
(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 4:29
Just a kid with a crazy dream
Wants it all before he's seventeen
Don't know where to begin
With a wild thought he ignores the facts
Whoa,There's no lookin' back
Just gotta stand up, make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep lookin' out for number one
Some people make it and others don't try
They seem happy to live out a lie
I'm out here on my own
Me, I'm a gambler and I pay for my sin
I've been there and I'm back again
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep lookin' out for number one
Let's get away, right out of here
It's not soon enough for me
Breaks up a lifetime, there on the lifeline
Reach out and grab it, it's free
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep lookin' out for number one
How does it feel to be out on your own
Just gotta keep lookin' out for number one
HOT'N'READY
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Phill Mogg) 3:16
You knock me out
You're like a well oiled Smith and Wesson
Hot and ready, ready to use
Restive or not, you know
You don't seem to feel there's no question
Hot and ready, ready to use
I'm comin'' through, I got to get to you, babe
I'm comin' through, I got to get to you, babe
Don't need ID
There's no house detective to crowd you
Hot and ready, ready to use
Slip in the back door
And slip out of whatever you're in to
Hot and ready. ready to use
I'm comin'' through, I got to get to you, babe
I'm comin' through, I got to get to you, babe
CHERRY
(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 3:34
Gotta give my love for Cherry
As for me there's only you
Play the barrooms just for pennies
Wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets
Tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden, we are golden
And I'm out here on the road
I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the harbors of the night I roll along
On the table top she's dancin'
Sit and smile into your beer
Turn around oh Cherry for me
Let me know you know I'm here
We are golden, we are golden
And I'm out here on the road
I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the harbors of the night
Makin it feel allright
Come on Cherry, let's make it together
Out of the neon and into my life
We can't play this game forever now
YOU DON'T FOOL ME
(Phill Mogg/Pete Way/Andy Parker) 3:23
If I could see you, would you still give me
Just hold me tighter, and love me maybe
You be my thunder, I don't want savin'
You don't fool me, oh no, you don't fool me
One look at you, it's easy to see
Oh no, you don't fool me
Oh babe, you don't fool me
I play along, just give it to me
Build me up now, you pull me down
You make me come, oh yeah, keep me around
I want to move you, I surely could
You don't fool me, oh no, you don't fool me
One look at you, it's easy to see
Oh no, you don't fool me
Oh babe, you don't fool me
I play along, just give it to me
Just got to have you, you drive me crazy
Tell me you feel it, your honey give me
Here burns the fire, I feel the heat
ONE MORE FOR THE RODEO
(Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 3:45
One more for the rodeo, The old school sixties team
A great new wide awakening, Spews out at the seams
As he lie's cold on the table, A sheet pulled over his head
I turned around to the janitor
And asked him just how long you've been dead
And it's one more for the rodeo
One more for the show
One more pretender who just had to go
All the gods in poolrooms, Blow in from the east
You're so caught up with your principles
It eats you now like a disease
I wish I was invisible, hidden from the crowd
When this cold wind blows down the sidewalk
It leaves me wonderin' how
BORN TO LOSE
(Michael Schenker/Phill Mogg/Pete Way) 3:33
Think you've got it down
Does it still feel the same now that he's not around
Born to lose, born to lose
You made your mind up, no foolin' around
Now that I know , I could never be
I would never be the only one
Do you wonder how it all began
As if that mattered anyway
There's someone else you're always wanting
Every single day
Born to lose, born to lose
You made your mind up, no foolin' around
Now that I know , I could never be
I would never be the only one
