Do Something

You don't give out, you don't give in
You never seem to be attracted to the sin
The sin of love, the sin of all above
I give you my advice, it can be nice
I know you can't solve the problems of the world
But you don't have to be a precious little toy
Do something, do something

I'll wait a day, I'll wait a week
And I don't just wanna be dancing cheek to cheek
It's serious, this thing I need to do
Win or lose, it's all up to you
I can't believe that you could let me go this far
It can't be natural to be the way you are
Do something, do something

I've got this weakness, I'm losing power
I need your sweetness right here and now yeah
Deeper and deeper, hour after hour
I should be ruling but I'm not satisfied no, no

Not satisfied, I'm not satisfied
When I'm alone, can't do it on the phone
Won't let you go until I get just what I need
My heart is breaking oh baby baby please
Do something do something baby baby okay
Come on come on come on do something
Get down on your knees and do something
Oh baby, please, do something

Easy As Life

This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die

All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died

It's easy, it's easy

Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Tender in his manner and my self-consolation
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

It's easy, easy as life

All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start

It's easy, it's easy

Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions don't let up, they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

It's easy, it's easy as life

And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people
A father and a nation who won't let a coward run
Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages
Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we've done

Are easy, so easy

And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above

It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life

Havin' a Party

We're havin' a party
Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music on the radio
Champagne is in the icebox
And the popcorn's on the table
And me and my baby
Are out here on the floor

So listen Mister DJ
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time
‘Cause I'm dancin' with my baby

And everybody's swingin'
Jackie's doin' that "Twist" now
If you'll take requests
Then I've got a few for you
Play that song called "Soul Twist"
And what about the one by that fellow I knew
And don't forget "The Mashed Potato"
No other song will do

Yeah listen, Mr. DJ
Just keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby

We're havin' a party
Everybody's swingin'
Dancin' to the music
On the radio

Havin' a party
Everybody's swingin'

In the Midnight Hour

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there is no one else around
I'm gonna take and I'm gonna hold
Do all the things I've told
In the midnight hour, in the midnight hour

I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
To see the twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
You're the only one I know
That really loves me so
In the midnight hour, in the midnight hour

Midnight midnight midnight tonight

It's Only Love

When the feeling is ended
There ain't no use pretending
Don't you worry, it's only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain't nothing else matters
It ain't over, it's only love
And that's all

When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain't easy, but it's only love
And if your life ain't worth living
And you're ready to give in
Just remember that it's only love
Yeah, that's all

You can live without the aggravation
You gotta wanna win, you gotta wanna win
You keep looking back in desperation
Over and over and over again

Johnny and Mary

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could find truth for him
Mary says he changes his mind
More than a woman
But she made her bet
Even though the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn it
When he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he has time to
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it

Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he's
Being discovered
Scared that he'll get caught
Without a second thought

Johnny thinks he's wasting his prayers
Trying to make sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says he should be used to it

'Cause Mary's always running around
Running around, running around

Keep Your Hands Off My Baby

I've seen the way that you look at him
When you think I'm not around
And I've seen you try to catch his eyes
And you think you're gainin' ground
You know last night he told me
Everything that you said
You asked him if he gets lonely
Well then get this through your head

Keep your hands off my baby
Keep your hands off my baby
Don't you know you better give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up
Don't you know you better stop, better stop
Leave my baby alone

I've seen the way that you brushed back your hair
I've heard your baby-talk
I know just what you're thinkin' there
Ooh, I'm watchin' what you want
You know it took a lot of patience
To win my baby's love
Now you're tryin' my patience
If you push, I'm gonna shove

Keep your hands off my baby
Keep your hands off my baby
Don't you know you better give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up
Don't you know you better stop, better stop
Leave my baby alone (Yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

I've seen the way that you look at him
When you think I'm not around
I've seen you try to catch his eyes
And you think you're gainin' ground

Everything that you said
You asked him if he gets lonely
Well get this through your head

Keep your hands off my...
Keep your hands off my baby
Keep your hands off my baby
Don't you know you better give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up
Don't you know you better stop, better stop
Leave my baby...

Give it up (Yeah) give it up (Yeah) said give it up (Yeah)
Give it up (Yeah) give it up (Yeah)
Don't you know you better stop (Better stop)
Leave my baby alone

Let's Dance

Hey baby, won't you take a chance?
If you wanna, you can have a dance
Let's dance, let's dance
Do the twist and shout, mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Let's dance, let's dance

Hey baby, now you're all alone
Hey baby, let me walk you home
Let's dance, let's dance
Do the twist and shout, mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Let's dance, let's dance

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
Dance to the song they're playing on the radio
Let's sway
While color lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Watch my love for you
It would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance
Let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance
