DRIVIN’ WHEEL
Feelin' good, can't be real, must be dreamin' 'bout my drivin' wheel.
Rollin' on, drivin' on, come to me and rock me all night long.
We've got a roll goin', too good to stop.
Flyin' high, we've got too far to drop.
Everybody needs somebody to love,
I've got you, and that's love enough.

You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel

Powerful love, steady roll, move my body and it rock my soul.
Let me ride, let me slide, got that lovin' feelin', way down inside.
You got me walkin', goin' round and around,
You got me talkin', but I can't hear a sound.
Love comes easy when the going is tough,
May be crazy - I may be in love.

You're my drivin' wheel, yeah - You're my drivin' wheel, yeah -
You're my drivin' wheel, yeah.

Every night feelin' high, flyin' right, can't believe all the love that I feel.
Easy rider, you're a love exciter, you're my love, you're my drivin' wheel.

Feelin' good, can't be real, must be dreamin' 'bout my drivin' wheel.
Rollin' on, drivin' on, come to me and rock me all night long.

We've got a roll goin', too good to stop,
Flyin' high, we've got too far to drop.
Everybody needs somebody to love,
I've got you and that's love enough.

You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel, yeah -
You're my drivin' wheel.
Y-o-u-'r-e my drivin' wheel.

Keep on drivin' me baby - 'cause you're my drivin' wheel,
I love the way I feel - 'cause you're my - 'cause your my drivin' wheel.

Let me ride, let me slide, whoo!
C'mon baby, give it to me baby.
Yea we gotta ride, we gotta ride, we gotta ride, we gotta ride,
We gotta ride, ride, ride, yeah

DON’T RUN ME DOWN
I had a woman, all's she did was run me down,
She changed our love to jealousy, and my smile into a frown.
Now I've been hurt so many times, but I guess I'll never learn.
Now I'm standin' in confusion, I don't know which way to turn.
'Cause I still love that woman, please don't ask me why,
We can make it if we try.

She passed by in a limousine, and slowly waved her hand,
A mink around her shoulders, and her arms around a man.
Now I was so amazed I couldn't find a thing to say,
Just stood awhile and tried to smile, but she looked the other way.
Cruisin' through the city, she almost knocked me down,
I jump back when I hear that sound.

Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down.
My nerves are shakin' and my heart is breakin', don't run me down!

Here stands a troubled man who's tired of bein' abused,
I'm tired of walkin' by myself, bewildered and confused.
I've got to leave you baby, but I just can't let you go,
Now I'm inclined to change my mind when tears begin to flow.
Run me down, turn me around, I say no but you do it anyway.
You tell me lies, but I've got wise. What can I say? What can I say?

Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down,
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down!

Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down!
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down!

(Don't run me down, Don't run me down - Don't run me down, Don't run me down)
(Don't run me down, Don't run me down - Don't run me down, Don't run me down...)
Don't run me down
(Don't run me down, Don't run me down)
No no
(Don't run me down, Don't run me down)
I hate to leave you baby
(Don't run me down)
Don't run me down,
(Don't run me down,)
Don't run me, run me run me.....no!

BURNIN’ THE MIDNIGHT OIL
Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.

She's gone and I know, that the pain is beginnin' to show, I'm hurting inside.
My world fell apart, but love's still burning in my heart, but where can I hide?

Love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone,
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil.

There's a voice in my head runnin' over everything she said, and I can't erase it.
Love was a game, well I lost and it's a cryin' shame, but I gotta face it.

Nowhere to go, and time is moving slow,
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin'...

Burnin' the midnight oil - hot water getting ready to boil,
Drink coffee 'til my nerves are wired - I'm so high, I think I'll never be tired.
Feeling sad and I'm mad, all the bad luck that I've had.

Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.
Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.

I'll lay back on my bed, memories runnin' through my head, I tried to forget.
The clock's striking twelve, I'm still trying to convince myself it's not over yet.
Love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone,
Yea, burnin' the midnight oil - Yea-ee-yea, burnin' the midnight oil.

NIGHT SHIFT
Working on a night shift, high on a 'fore day drive
I'm energized from sundown to sunrise, and I'll sleep from nine to five
Shadows fallin' all down the line
Get ready 'cause it's night shift time

Living, loving, searching high and low,
Feel the fire, I'm hooked to a live wire, and I can't let go
I got a feeling that I can't mistake
Sun rises and I'm still awake

I'll play my music - I don't mind working over time
And if I lose it, I'll come to you and you'll give me peace of mind

I get home early in the morning, I love to get next you
You touch me and you thrill me, you know what to do

Working on a night shift, you tell me something's got to give
I don't mind 'cause I'm feelin' fine, and I love the life I live
Shadows fallin' on down the line
Get ready, 'cause it's night shift time

HOT SHOT LOVE
Your love is lifting me higher and higher
You're so warm you set my soul on fire
Fan the flame, I feel my temperature rise
All that I need, your love satisfies

You're so fine, you know how to please me
Take me higher, then you let me down easy
Making love, how sweet it can be
I can't believe, what you're doin' to me

Girl I want you so bad
You're driving me mad
Let your love run free
It feels so good to me

Love, I'm talkin' 'bout your love
I'm talkin' 'bout your love
Your hot shot love

Your love is lifting me higher and higher
You're so warm you set my soul on fire
Making love, how sweet it can be
Oh baby, what you're doing to me

Love, I'm talkin' 'bout your love
I'm talkin' 'bout your love
Your hot shot love

Love, love

Feels good, you're my hot shot love
I'm talkin about your love
Fan the flame, fan the flame
My temperature's risin'...

TAKE ME TO THE RIVER
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the things that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen why I should forget
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, yea yea

Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

I don't know why she treat me so bad
After all the things that we could've had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, I'd love to stay

Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

Hold me, love me, please me, squeeze me
Oh, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, I can't take no more

Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river

I’LL BE STANDING BY
Standing in the shadows
Waiting for your love light to shine on me
When you're lonely and the pain shows
Call me, I'll be right there to set you free

Walking down a dark road to loneliness
The night has no mercy
I feel a need in me I can't express

I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by

Come to me, when you're lonely
You need someone to love, let it be me
The way you love me and hold me
Made me realize how sweet love can be

Standing on a backstreet in the falling rain,
Cryin' for mercy, until you come to me and ease the pain

I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by

I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by

I'll be standing by
There'll be no need to cry
I'll be standing by

Come to me, come to me,
'Cause I'll be standing - I'll be standing by
