You're No Good
(Lyrics by Clint Ballard, Jr.)

Hahhhhh

Well I'm, feelin' better, now that we're through
Feelin' better baby, I'm over you

(Ah) I've learned my lesson baby, and it left a scar
(Ah) But now I see how ya really are

You're no good! no good, no good
Baby, you're no good. Oooh yeah
No good, no good, no good (Ah-hah!)
Baby, you're no good

I broke a heart, simple n' true
Broke a heart for someone like you

(Ah) We'll be comin' back, don't come running to me
(Ah) I wanna love you, maybe set you free

You're no good, no good, no good
Baby, you're no good. Whoa oh-ooh
You're no good, no good, no good (Ah-no!)
Baby, you're no good

Ah! Uh! Uh!




Dance the Night Away
Have you seen her? So fine and pretty
Fooled me with her style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes, it's love in the third degree

Ooh, baby baby
Won't-cha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby baby
Ah come on! Take a chance
You're old enough to

Dance (Dance) the night away
Whoa-oh (Ah) Come on g-girl, dance the night away

A live wire, barely a beginner
But just watch that lady go
She's on fire, 'cause dancin' gets her higher than-uh
Anything else she knows

Ooh, baby baby
Won't-cha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby baby
Well don't skip romance 'cause
You're old enough to

Light Up the Sky
Oh...

Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' outta the gates
Takin' chances. We're the crash n' burn
Yeah, there is a way with beauty but you never gave a love
Cross the line where none return

Oh, I watch my television, almost lost my mind
It said "Open your eyes. Leave it all behind."

I heard the wind a-whisp'rin'
Strong magic comin' on
They comin' out for sure

Come see your children, yeah
They're lighting up the skies
Won't recognize them anymore (Ha ha)

Wolves at my door, wised up quick
Turned here an' gone, from on the go
Seems the old folks who come up short
Were the pretty little kids who didn't want it, no

I had some crazy vision, one I can't deny it
It said "Open my eyes. Leave it all behind."

I heard the winds a-whisp'rin'
Strong magic comin' on
It's comin' out for sure

Come see your children, yeah
They're lighting up the skies
You won't, recognize them anymore

Ooh, mama, see the firelights
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight
Ooh, mama, see the firelights
Ooh, lightin' up the sky
Light 'em up!

(Guitar Solo)

Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light 'em up!




D.O.A.
We was broke and hungry on a summer day
They sent the sheriff down to try an' drive us away
We were sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can, uh ha

Ooh! And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive

Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
A-from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags."
A-send the mayor down in his pickup truck
The jury look at me, say "Outta luck." Oo-ooh, yeah!

And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive, uh-aah!

(Guitar Solo)

Alright! Uh!

Now, I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
A-from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags."
An' we were sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can
Di-yeah, yeah!

Babe, I'm alone and, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive, ow-ow!

(Guitar Solo)

Wow! I'm gone! Ooh yeah! Oh!
Ow-ow!

Baby, let me run
Oh-oh, oh-oh!
I'm a spark on the horizon
Ow!

Ow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow!
Ow-wow-wow-wow-wow!




Women in Love...
My heart, you're breakin' my heart
Girl, you better start thinkin' somethin' real
Seems like lovin' you is just a crazy dream
But do as you feel

All these crazy women
One more crazy night
But one night's all we're given
So baby (Ahh) leave me alone, or baby, stay the night

But one night's all we're given
So honey (Ahh) leave me alone, or I may be stayin' the night
