INFATUATION (ROD STEWART)
Early in the morning. I canīt sleep...work and...eat.
Iīve been drunk all day, canīt concentrate.
Maybe Iīm making a big mistake.
Caught me down like a killer shark.
Itīs like a railroad running right through my heart.
Jekyll and Hyde, the way I behave.
Feel like Iīm running on an empty gauge.
Oh! no, not again. It hurts so good.
I donīt understand. Infatuation...
...Heart beats silly like a big bass drum.
Losing all equilibrium.
Itīs so hard in the middle of the week.
Maybe this womanīs just all I need...īFatuate me, baby.
Spirits soar when Iīm by her side.
She put a little love in this heart of mine.
Maybe Iīm lucky, maybe Iīm freed...Rev it up...

ALL RIGHT NOW (ROD STEWART)
There she stood in the street, smiling from her head to her feet.
I said: "hey! what is this?" Now, maybe, baby,
maybe youīre in need for a kiss.
I said: "hey! whatīs your name?"
Maybe we can see things the same.
Now, donīt you wait or hesitate!
Letīs move before they raise the parking rate.
I took her home to my place,watching every move on her face.
She said: "look! whatīs your game?
Are you trying to put me in shame?"
I said: "slow, donīt talk so fast!
Donīt you think that love can last?"
She said: "love, Lord above, now,
youīre trying to trick me in love".
All right, now. Baby, itīs...
...Whoīs that girl?, watch that girl! Look at that girl!
She lives down my street...Well...
...Took me home to her place, and I watched the smile on her face.
When she moves me, I just watch that girl...
...And she said: "Love, you tryinī to trick me in love"
Whatīs this now, baby, thatīs no good!?...
...Donīt do that, no...oh! baby...!...You canīt do that...

SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK (ROD STEWART)
Some guys have all the luck...all the pain...
...all the breaks...do nothing but complain.
Alone, in a crowd, on a bus after work and Iīm dreaming.
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty.
How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you?
It seem so unfair when thereīs love everywhere
but thereīs none for me...Someone to take on a walk by the lake.
Lord, let it be me! Someone whoīs shy,
someone whoīll cry at sad movies.
I know I would die if I ever found out she was fooling me.
Youīre just a dream and as real as it seems, I ainīt that lucky...
...All of my friends have a ring on their finger,
they have someone...to care for them. It ainīt fair! I got no one.
The car overheated, I called up and pleaded,
thereīs help on the way. I called, you collect, you didnīt accept.
You had nothing to say...But if you were here with me,
Iīd feel so happy I could cry.
You are so dear to me, I just canīt let you say goodbye...

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS (ROD STEWART)
We canīt play this game anymore, but can we still be friends?
Things just canīt go on like before...
...We had something to learn, now, itīs time for the wheel to turn.
Grains of sand, one by one, before you know, it itīs all gone.
Letīs admit we made a mistake...Heartbreakīs never easy to take...
...Itīs a strange, sad affair,
sometimes seems like we just donīt care.
Donīt waste time feeling hurt, weīve been through hell together.
Where do we go from here...?
...We awoke from our dream, things are not what they always seem.
Memories linger on, itīs like a sweet, sad, old song...I...
...I just wanna be friends...And, now...Letīs admit our mistakes...!

BAD FOR YOU (ROD STEWART)
Every day I wake, every word I speak got you on my mind.
Iīve made love to you and I may not be the answer to your prayer.
Give me just one night and Iīll take you there.
I can read your mind, honey, I ainīt blind.
You want love so hard, itīs no federal crime.
Someoneīs gotta tell me that youīre mine, all mine.
Take me to your river, honey, fracture my mind.
Iīll be bad for you, so very...Iīve got my brand on you...
...When you turn around, Iīll be standing there.
Anywhere you go, I will follow you.
Any place you walk, any words you talk,
Iīll be by your side, I wonīt let you down...I put...
...Listen to me, be bad for me...
...When the night gets hot youīre my only thought.
Canīt control myself, Iīll make love to you...
...Ainīt nothinī you can do...Iīm so bad for you, baby...

HEART IS ON THE LINE (ROD STEWART)
What do you want from me?
When will you ever see I gave it all, nothing less?
The feeling ainīt mutual, I guess.
Why am I so confused? Why do I feel so used?
This game at hand was made for two,
but somehow I played without you. No, Iīm not sad.
Nothinī lasts forever, head over heels. Better late than never.
My heart is on the line running out of time.
Love, stop making a fool out of me...
...Telling my friends youīre fine, even our favorite wine.
But youīre not there and it hurts, nobody knows how it hurts.
Maybe, I thought I knew that I belonged to you.
I dreamed a dream I couldnīt have,
I foolishly let myself dance inside your eyes. Oh! donīt be sad!
I shouldīve known better, why didnīt I realize...?
...Whenever you call me up, everything else must stop.
My heart says: "stay!" but I go īcause I need you
and you know youīre inside of me.
I want you now and forever, come on back to me...
...Love, stop making a clown out of me...

CAMOUFLAGE (ROD STEWART)
She came to the party in a leather number wrapped in chains,
investigation found she was very fond of dropping names.
So I signed her book and drove her to her home,
and she looked so hot, started to come on strong.
Then she said so candidly as I was gettinī down on my knees:
"I donīt really mean to tease but Iīm shy..." Camouflage!
Thatīs nothinī but...
...He was totally handsome, with a winning personality,
natural born leader with connections in society.
But late at night, alone, with just his wealth,
he would stare in the mirror and never see himself.
He had a Cadillac thirty foot long, he had a hit with every song,
sounded like somethingīs wrong. Why...?...It ainīt...
...They were so well suited, with an ambience you canīt ignore,
but nobody realized what went on behind closed doors.
He had many affairs but never felt fulfilled.
She would hide her sadness in alcohol and pills.
She bottled everything up inside.
He was too busy with his best friendīs wife.
They couldnīt look each other in the eyes.
Lies...Just...Everywhere you go itīs called...
...Some people hide behind...But I didnīt know what was goinī on...
...Had hits with every song...
...She was hidinī herself in some little purple pills...
...Talkinī ībout...bring it down.
Sometimes, I worry about you, darlinī.
You wear too much mascara, too much eyeliner,
too much rouge, and it worries me...

TROUBLE (ROD STEWART)
Looking out on the city tonight, and Iīm wondering why.
Trying to figure out what Iīm doing wrong.
I am lost in an ocean of mixed emotions,
now, everything I held sacred now has gone.
Here am I, far from home, learning how to be alone.
Silly me, I shouldīve guessed, never settle on second best.
Time for me to reassess. Heading into trouble, I am always...
...Sideways, downways...Now, Iīm losing you.
Itīs gonna be a lonely summer without you īround,
Iīll even miss the way you sing off key.
Down in the market, the reggae bands wonīt sound the same.
Old Joe says: "Without you, they just donīt believe".
Now, I am no longer sure whoīs gonna open every door.
The love I take and couldnīt share,
the warmth I had but didnīt care, to give myself I never dared...
...Hope it all goes well in the future for you, my dear,
hope you find where your heart truly belongs.
I donīt know about me and tomorrow
īcause youīre gonna be a hard act to follow.
Iīll miss you, baby, every day, even though youīre far away.
Hereīs to you, in every way...
