1. Make It Real LYRICS
You can always trust your inner feelings
'cause they always tell the truth
Where did it get you, then your analyzing
Just do what feels right for you

If you take life as a crazy gamble
Throw your dice take your chance
You will see it from the different angle
And you too can join the dance

Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy
Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy oooh yeah

Did you ever have a secret yearning
Don't you know it could come true
Now's the time to set wheels turning
To open up your life for you

As you know there's always good and evil
Make your choice don't be blind
Open up your mind and don't be trivial
There's a whole new world to find

Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy
Make it real not fantasy
Fantasy oooh yeah

Did you ever have a secret yearning
Don't you know it could come true
Now's the time to set wheels turning
To open up your life for you

If you take life as a crazy gamble
Throw your dice take your chance
You will see if from a different angle
And you too will join the dance

Make it real not fantasy

2. Don't Make No Promises (Your Body Can't Keep) LYRICS
I saw this girl walking down the street
I thought, oh yeah, she looks rather neat
I grabbed my chance and played my usual game
I tell you man, it can be a strain

She didn't wanna know what I'd got to say
Just shook her head and looked the other way
And then she said, I've met your type before
For me you're all the same, you're such a bore

Oh no, don't make no promises
Oh no, your body can't keep

Next day, can you believe, she was at the show
She said, hey man, you're great and she took me home
She started to undress, what a shock to see
Padded bra, blonde wig, not much left for me

Oh no, don't make no promises
Oh no, your body can't keep

Oh no, don't make no promises
Oh no, your body can't keep

Oh no, don't make no promises
Oh no, your body can't keep

Oh no, don't make no promises
Oh no, your body can't keep

3. Hold Me Tight LYRICS
She's the one, that's what I thought
When our love had just begun
But times have changed
And I's better go
Because it's gonna be too late
And all my love will turn to hate
You've always known
That music is my life
And I live just for Rock'n Roll
No one can make me change my mind
'cause I just want to live my life

Alright don't want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright I'm leaving tonight
Alright woman, I'll get out of your sight

You're still the one
But you've shown me
How independent you've become
Don't tell me you need, you need me
To be your ever faithful strong lovin' man
Don't tell me I'm wrong
I gotta go my way
And you'll see, where I belong
You live your life and I live mine
I bet, you will turn out fine

Alright don't want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright I'm leaving tonight
Alright woman, I'll get out of your sight

Alright don't want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright I'm leaving tonight
Alright woman, I'll get out of your sight

Alright don't want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright I'm leaving tonight
Alright woman, I'll get out of your sight

4. Twentieth Century Man LYRICS
In the jungle of these times
Honest love's so hard to find
In the world of video
Computers tell you what to do
The world's devoted to the Dollar sign

Remote-controlled and on the line
Plug in man on the rack
Waiting for a heart attack
And no chance to die

No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Can't you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?

In the jungle of these times
There's nothing left for them to buy
They look for God on the screen
They've got even dream-machines
They are mesmerized

No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Can't you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?

No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Can't you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?

5. Lady Starlight LYRICS
Walking through a winter night,
Counting the stars
And passing time
I dream about the summer days,
Love in the sun
And lonely bays

I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love,
On one of these lonely winter nights

Dreaming through a winter night,
Memories of you are passing by
It seems to me like yesterday
I think you knew I couldn't stay

I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love
Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Walking through a winter night,
Counting the stars
And passing time
Snow dances with the wind
I wish, I could be with you again

I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love
Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

6. Falling In Love LYRICS
I look in your eyes, I really think you're fooling me
You're pretty and nice, it doesn't matter don't you see
'cause I falling in love, it happens to me every day
I'm falling in love, love just seems to slip away

I'm falling in love
Ooh, oooh
I'm falling in love
Ooh, oooh
I'm falling in love
Ooh, oooh

Don't tell me your lies, I don't believe a word you say
You do realize, I move around from day to day
And I'm falling in love, it happens to me every day
I'm falling in love, love just seems to slip away

I'm falling in love
Ooh, oooh
I'm falling in love

Ooh, oooh
I'm falling in love

7. Only A Man LYRICS
Well you know it is hard
Being a long time apart
But it's you that I love, don't you see

And when I go away
You say, please stay okay
I want you to stay only with me

Well you know it is hard
All these girls are so smart
And they see me all over the place

Well they phone me at night
Ask me out for a bite
I can see all the lust in their face

All these chicks really know
That next day I will go
And they will never see me again

So when I'm back home
And we both are alone
I can feel all you love and your pain

Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real

Well it's hard to say no
When you've done a good show
And they all want you to celebrate

Well I try to refuse
Try to make some excuse
But at this point it's mostly too late

Yeah, I start feeling good
And I get in the mood
I guess, you'll know what I mean

These chicks all around
It's so hard to keep count
It's like a schizophrenic dream

Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real

Well you know it is hard
Being a long time apart
But it's you that I love, don't you see

And when I go away
You say, please stay okay
I want you to stay only with me

Well you know it is hard
All these girls are so smart
And they see me all over the place

Well they phone me at night
Ask me out for a bite
I can see all the lust in their face

Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real

Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real

8. The Zoo LYRICS
The job is done and I go out
Another boring day
I leave it all behind me now
So many worlds away

I meet my girl, she's dressed to kill
And all we gonna do
Is walk around to catch the thrill
On streets we call the zoo

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

Enjoy the zoo
And walk down 42nd Street
You wanna be excited too
And you will feel the heat

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo

10. Hey You LYRICS
Hey you, I'm in love with your eyes
And the sound of your name
Hey you, I'm in love with your smile
And the way you're dressed today Hey you, well I like the way you walk
Just like a star moves on stage
Hey you, well I like the way you talk
You're really calm for your age I really die
You're driving me wild
I really die
I'm in love 100 times I really die
You're driving me wild
I really die
I'm in love 100 times
To be your answer Hey you, I said you know what's going on
Do you know what I mean
Hey you, if he wants you better come
This school is up to me I really die
You're driving me wild
I really die
I'm in love 100 times I really die
You're driving me wild
I really die
I'm in love 100 times
To be your answer
