01. Good Lovin' Gone Bad

Music & lyrics by Mick Ralphs
If I hear you knockin' hard upon my door, Ain't no way that
I'm gonna answer it. 'cause cheating is a one thing and lying is another,
And when I say it's over, that's it, I'm gonna quit! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now I ain't complaining, just try'n to understand
What makes a woman do the things she does.
One day she'll love you, the next day she'll leave you, Why can't
We have it, just the way it used to be? Wooo. Why can't we have it baby.

'cause I'm a man, I got my pride, I don't need no woman to hurt me inside,
I need a love, like any other; yeah. So go on and leave me,
Leave me for another! Good lovin' gone bad, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Good lovin' gone bad, bad, bad, Good lovin' gone bad; yeah.
Baby I'm a bad man, now, now. Oh yes,
Yes indeed, indeed I am.
Oh oh oh oh yeah, gone bad. Oh oh oh oh.

Now I'm a man, I got my pride, Don't need no woman to hurt me inside,
I need a love like any other, So go on and leave me,
Leave me for another. Good lovin' gone bad, it's gone I say,
Good lovin' gone bad, now now now, Good lovin' gone bad, yeah yeah yeah
And baby I'm a bad man, Good lovin' gone bad,
That's what I want to say, Good lovin' bad, good lovin',
Good lovin' gone bad, Oh, baby I'm a bad man,
Good lovin gone bad, Good lovin' gone bad,
Good lovin' gone bad, I'm a sad man, Don't stand in my way,
'Cause baby I'm a bad man, Yeah, yeah, yeah.......
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Wooo

02. Feel Like Makin' Love

Music by Mick Ralphs
Lyrics by Paul Rodgers
Baby, when I think about you
I think about love
Darlin', don't live without you
And your love
If I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you in the heaven
'Til I'm dyin' on the way

Feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

Baby, if I think about you
I think about love
Darlin', if I live without you
I live without love
If I had the sun and moon
And they were shinin'
I would give you both night and day
Of satisfyin'

Feel like makin'
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

And if I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you in the heaven
'Til I'm dyin' on the way

Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love
Feel like makin' love to you

03. Weep No More

Music & lyrics by Simon Kirke
Mary, don't you weep no more
Mary, don't you weep no more
Cause, I got your letter today
Pack my bags and I'm on my way
So, don't you weep no more
Don't you weep no more

Dry your eyes
Don't you shed no tears
The sun is risin'
So, put away your fears
Cause, I know I once done you wrong
I want to say I'm sorry
And I'm comin' back home
So, don't you weep no more
Don' t you weep no more

I hear your voice in the wind
And I feel your tears in the rain
Shadows of night are falling
Can't you hear me call your name

I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
So, don't you weep
Don't you weep
Don't you weep
Don't you weep no more

04. Shooting Star

Music & lyrics by Paul Rodgers
Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
'Love Me Do' I think it was
And from there it didn't take him long

Got himself a guitar
Used to play every night
Now he's in a rock and roll outfit
And everything's all right
Don't ya know

Johnny told his mama
Hey, Mama, I'm going away
I'm gonna hit the big time
Gonna be a big star someday

Momma came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said "Don't cry Momma,
Smile and wave goodbye."

Don't you know

Don't you know
That you are a shooting star,(don't you know, don't you know)
Don't you know that you are
A shooting star
And all the world will love you
Just as long, as long as you are?

Johnny made a record
Went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by
Surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him
And said "Well I made the big time at last."

A shooting star

Johnny died one night
Died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets
By his head

Johnny's life passed him
By like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind
You can still hear him play

Don't you know

05. Deal With The Preacher

Music by Mick Ralphs
Lyrics by Paul Rodgers
I need love, the kind I've never known before
You need it too, the kind that makes you feel so good, baby
I want to give, give you all the love you need
Well, I'm a loner, and that's the way I want to be, yeah

Let me say as the sun climbs across the sky above
So your smile filled me with a stronger love
Just as you and I, watchin' the morning sky, oh yeah
Somehow I know it's time for me to say goodbye, yeah, yeah

Here's why : can't make a deal with the preacher, oh yeah, yeah
And I can't make a bargain in heaven, now

Angel, you came to my window
Angel, you came to my door
I was a fool and I let you in
I sure ain't no fool anymore!

Yeah, yeah, you better believe me right now baby
Oh, yeah

As the sun climbs across the sky above
So your smile filled me with a stronger love, mm
Just as you and I, watchin' the morning sky
And somehow I know it's time for me to say goodbye

I can't make a deal with the preacher, you know yeah
And I can't make a bargain in heaven, yeah, yeah

Heaven knows me by now
I can't make a deal, oh no, no, no, no
I love you baby, I love you baby
I can't make a deal, make a deal, make a deal
Make a deal, make a deal, yeah, yeah
You know and I can't make no bargain in heaven
Listen, I can't make a deal, make a deal, make a deal
Make a deal, make a deal, oh, oh
And I can't make no bargain in heaven, oh yeah
Make a deal...

06. Wild Fire Woman

Music by Mick Ralphs
Lyrics by Paul Rodgers
I'm gonna drive my car, way across the border
'cause she's the only one, she keeps my mind in order
I'm not a bad man, but I know where I stand:
If I have your love, gotta have your love in my hand

Yeah, come on boys
It takes a good man, yeah, to know a good woman
I ain't so much a good man as one who needs loving
I'm a driving down the highway getting closer to your love
I'm going pretty fast now, but it ain't fast enough. Listen

Wild fire shooting through my veins
Burns a fever to my brain
Wild fire woman, something you got
I start to shiver when you do that, do that baby, now

It takes a good man, yeah, to know a good woman
I ain't so much a good man as one who needs loving
So I'm burning up the freeway, ain't nothing in sight
You know it takes a whole lotta loving, to keep me driving all night, hey

Wild fire shooting through my veins
Burns a fever to my brain
Wild fire woman, something you got
I start to shiver when you do that, do that baby
Wild fire shooting through my veins
Burns a fever to my brain, oh
Wild fire woman, something you got
I start to shiver when you do that
Wild fire shooting through my veins
Burns a fever to my brain
Wild fire woman, something you got
I start to shiver when you do that, do that baby
Do that, do that baby
I start to shiver and shake
I just can't wait
I start to shiver and shake
I just can't wait
I start to shiver and shake, ha, now baby
I just can't wait, driving down the highway, yeah, yeah, oh
I'm driving all night

07. Anna

Music & lyrics by Simon Kirke
I got a sweet little angel and I love her so
She's there when I need her, she understands when I say go
In the night, when she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
Living with her unfolds me, she gives me strength to carry on

I don't need anyone else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna

And I know if she left me, my world would turn cold
She's the best little lady that a man could ever hold
When I'm down, she knows what to say
She clears my blindness away
And in the night, she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong

I don't need nobody else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna

I found me a simple woman, yeah yeah
A simple woman
I have found me a simple woman, oh yeah
A simple woman for a simple man
I found me a simple woman,
A simple woman, oh yeah yeah yeah

08. Call On Me

Music & lyrics by Paul Rodgers
When the rain is falling and you feel like you are a stranger
And the time is passing you by is a lonely time and you want to fly
Call on me, call on me
Call on me, call on me
I'll be by your side

When you turn around, needing somebody there
Who can give you love and show you good care
If there's a place inside you that's empty and cold
You may need my love, to have, to hold

Call on me, call on me
Call on me, call on me
I'll be by your side
To keep you satisfied

I want to keep you satisfied

Call on me, call on me
Call on me, call on me
I'll be by your side
To keep you satisfied

When the clear light of a winter's day
Blows cold and hard and the future is grey
You can always have the fire of love
To keep you warm as the sun above

Call on me, call on me
Call on me, call on me
I'll be by your side
To keep you satisfied
I'll be by your side
To keep you satisfied

Don't worry about the rain, baby
I'll keep you dry
I'll keep you warm inside
And satisfied

Don't worry about the rain
I'll keep you dry, I'll keep you dry
Call on me, baby, call on me, baby
