All Songs Written by Mike and Dave Walsh

GIRL OF MY DREAMS

Verse I:
Well I just can't seem to find myself into your busy day
I'm waiting for the moment to steal your time away
Cause every time I think of you I break into a smile
All those nights last summer when we drove our sense wild

Verse II:
Blinded by your beauty and your persuasive talk
All those guys eyes wander when they see your sexy walk
and I need you for a helping hand through the silence of denial
Behind my outer conscience there lies an inner child

Chorus I:
I can't wait for the nighttime
Its then you'll surely see
That loving you is gonna make me scream
Cuz you are the Girl of my Dreams

Verse III:
She was gettin' kind of nervous cuz the phone just never rings
but every time i speak I seem to ruin a perfect thing
I'd rather let my actions show you the way that I feel
And then you know that all those thoughts of lovin' are for real

Chorus II:
Loneliness ain't happiness so let your heart roam free
you and me that's how its meant to be
cuz you are the girl of my dreams

Verse IV:
Days of innocence and youth are fleeting like a smile
so I pray I wake at sunrise with you in my arms
you just don't know how much I need your touch on me tonight
I have that lonesome feeling and you make me feel alright

Repeat Chorus I and out

I DON'T KNOW

Verse I:

Standing on the brink of another day

My mind’s confused my heart begins to race

She was once with me here now she’s gone

She’s found another place to call her home

Chorus:

Let me know now when the secret’s told

I don’t know, I just don’t know

Let me know now why your love seems so cold

I don’t know, I just don’t know

Verse II:

I had a hunch that something was wrong

Now her eyes couldn’t hide the lies for very long

But I didn’t care ‘cause I had to play the show

Now I wrecked the backstage lounge when I heard her go

Repeat chorus

Bridge:

The pain will pass as time slides away

Maybe? Who knows? What If?

I Don’t Know….

SOLO

Verse III:

Maybe somewhere down the road someday

We’ll meet again and share a warm embrace

Then I’ll know I’ll be right by your side

And I’ll hold your hand through the dark of night

Repeat chorus

GOTTA FIND OUT

Verse I:

Well I’ve been struck down I’ve been knocked out

Been tied up and buried in chains

I thought you were the one but you tricked me all along

And now I’m waiting for a brand new day

Verse II:

You were Daddy’s little girl who had the whole world

Had the gold in the palm of your hands

But you can’t buy me or sweet talk me

Cuz I’m never gonna be your man

You got a nasty reputation for making your relations break down

Chorus:

I just gotta find out…why you have to act like that

I gotta find out…why you making me so sad

I gotta find out…why your love is oh so bad

Well I made mistake I caught a bad break

I got lost in delusions of love

But I’m making my stand I want some revenge

Do I deserve this?

I need some relief baby

From your Deadly Kiss

Upstairs from the record store

And she had just what I was looking for

And her elusive persuasion kept me wanting her even more and more

I was born on the bad side of town

I got high when I felt so down

Now I know that I’m a man full of sin

In between all that virtue and vice

And the booze that I drink is my only friend

Let’s set the night on fire

RIDE

Verse I:

This old cowboy is riding the winds tonight

Days and nights he’s traveled far, to see his Angel Eyes

He was lonely, He’d been gone years too long

Now he just didn’t wanna be that way

He just didn’t wanna seem that way

He just didn’t wanna feel that way again

I'M NOT YOURS

Verse 1:
You lay too much burden on me
Now I'm getting wise to the way you been treatin' me
Pardon me and my growing apathy
Cuz I'm not giving you no simple sympathy
Please don't ask me to be your guide
I'm just a Judas, a thief in the night
I've only come here to have my way
to rock with you and hurry slip away

Chorus:
I'm Not your Savior
I'm not your bleeding Messiah
I'm not your caretaker
I'm' not your soulshaker

Verse II:
You're not the victim or the fallen prey
You've done the wrongs and you know I'm not to blame
You're best left locked behind those cold walls
where you can pray and linger for a man to call your own

Chorus:
I'm not your redeemer
I'm not your shoulder to cry on
I'm not your love and affection
I'm just a man full of passion

TEARIN' OUT MY HEART

Verse I:

That girl just drives me crazy yeah she makes me go insane
she's the cause of all my pleasure
she's the cause of all my pain
my world revolves around her and its spinning down the drain
she's taken me for all I'm worth but still I can't complain

Chorus:
She's tearing out my hear (oh oh)
She's tearin' it apart (oh oh)

Verse II:

Yeah she's the reason for my anger
she makes me want to scream
and if I could I'd leave her
It ain't as easy as it seems
the woman is pure evil
but don't be misunderstood
I am a slave to all her pain and she's hurting me so good

Repeat Chorus

DON'T KNOCK IT (TIL YA TRY IT)

(Ha Ha Ha Ha)

Verse I:

She’s never been experienced

She never lets no boys in her room

She never lets her guard down

She never plays no games with you

Verse II:
She likes to party with Misery

Yeah it’s been her best friend

And then she tells you it’s wrong to get crazy

Now she’s a cold shower in bed

Pre-Chorus:

She knows I like to get drunk

She knows I like to get high sometime

But then she tells me I’m evil

I’m just looking for a good, good time

Chorus:
Don’t Knock It

Don’t Knock It

Don’t Knock it

Knock it Til ya try it

YEAH!!!!!!

Verse III:

Don’t tell me what to do

I’ve got a mind to do as I choose

I like the gin I get juiced

I like to shoot a drink or two

Verse IV:

Now don’t spoil my party baby

Or take away my good stuff!

And don’t turn down the rock ‘n roll music

Don’t be a stick in the mud

Pre-Chorus:

She know I like to get drunk

She knows I like t get high sometime

But then she tells me I’m evil

I’m just looking for a real good time

Repeat Chorus

From a party girl who’s down on her knees

Well Baby I know that you ain’t the one

So it be best that you go back where you belong!

SOLO

Pre-Chorus:

She knows I like to get drunk

She knows I like to get high sometimes

And then she tells me I’m bad news

I’m just looking for a rockin’ good time

Chorus Out

NOTHING BUT RAINBOWS

Verse I:

She didn’t have to be my best friend

I just wanted to be her lovin’ man

I could not help it I could not see

How could she leave me standing in the breeze

Verse II:

I saw her walking, cross the town square

Blinded by her beauty all I did was stare

But she kept passing right on along

Ignoring our past ignoring our love

Chorus:

I’ll be waiting in the morning,

Hoping in the evening

Been wasting all the days of my life

Used to think our love would survive

But it vanished like a rainbow

Was nothing but a rainbow.

Verse III:

Season’s changing, my heart’s still breaking

This summer’s gonna be a hot and lonely one

No use in trying, no sense in crying

I’ve lost the only love I’ve ever known

Repeat Chorus

Solos

Verse IV:

Feeling kind of faded and oh, so jaded

Cause she’s been gone all forever long

She won’t be back now I know for certain

She’s got another man in her arms now...

Chorus out

DEVIL UNDERCOVERS

One, Two, One, Two

One ,Two, Three, Four!

Verse I:

She’s coming on strong like the Queen of the One Night Stand

That Lady’s dressed to kill in her tight black leather dress

Long longs, short skirt drop dead gorgeous again

Verse II:

She coulda been a lover but she kept her engine clean

Ah but then she discovered being good ain’t as cool as it seemed

She’ll tempt you, tease you, desire driving you insane

Chorus:

Cause she’s a cold hearted woman (cold hearted woman)

A back talking baby (back talking baby)

A high fashioned honey (high fashioned honey)

A bad luck lady (bad luck lady)

She’s a Devil undercovers and she’s got you dreaming of sin

(C’mon boys, lets rock and roll)

Solo Breaks

Verse III:

Now in days from now she’ll say she loves you still

But as time ticks away you know she just never will

And now I’m left here waiting lonely as a man could feel

Repeat Chorus
