01. Gotta Let Go

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford, Geoffrey Leib
You feel the power, you feel it getting strong
We'll make it carry everyone along
You bought a ticket to our surprise attack
You came to rock and there's no turning back

Don't you want to be the main attraction
All you need's a little chain reaction
If you want to set the night on fire

Yeah, you gotta let go
Yeah, you gotta let go
Well, you gotta let go if you really want to rock tonight
Yeah, you gotta let go
Uw, you gotta let go
Well, you gotta let go if you really want to rock tonight

Don't try to fight it
Just give me all you got
You can't control it when it gets this hot
It's like this jungle, bye-bye to modern man
We're talkin' rock you'll never understand

It doesn't matter if the world's exploding
It doesn't matter where the night is going
If you wanna set the night on fire

But, you gotta let go
Yeah, you gotta let go
Well, you gotta let go if you really want to rock tonight
Yeah, you gotta let go
You gotta let go
Well, you gotta let go if you really want to rock tonight

I'm gettin' ready
Nobody's gonna stop me
Can't ya, feel the fire burnin'
Now's the time to start rockin'

So if you want to be the main attraction
All you need's a little chain reaction
You and I can set the night on fire...

02. Dancin' On The Edge

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford
You're always runnin' for your life
But you can't escape, you fall deeper in hell
The devil's laughing at you
Your soul to take, and never tell

Wish you could see my love
Why don't you open your mind
But, I know it's hard for you
You're always dancin' on the edge

Dancin' on the edge

I see you standin' in the shadows
You smell of sex
Do you want more?
Cold and lonely in the dark
Lost on the avenue, what's it all for?

Can't you see I'm true
Why don't you open your mind
But I know it's hard for you
You're always dancin' on the edge

Dancin' on the edge

Hangin' on by death
Run for your life
You're dancin', dancin' on the edge

Dancin' on the edge

Dancin' on the edge

You're always runnin' for your life
But you can't escape, you fall deeper in Hell
The Devil's laughing at you
Your soul to take, and never tell

Wish you could see my love
Why don't you open your mind
But, I know it's hard for you
You're always dancin' on the edge

Dancin' on the edge

Hangin' on by death

Run for your life
You're dancin', dancin' on the edge

Dancin' on the edge

03. Dressed To Kill

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford
You're dressed to kill
Come a little closer, so I can look you in your eyes
So I can see what I been missing, so I can see through the disguise
You're dressed to kill

You got me in the sight of your gun, you're dressed to kill

Sell your soul to rock and roll
The only thing that thrills you
Evil grins as night begins
Gonna rock until it kills you
Learn to live fast
Learn to die young
Life's one big chase
You're caught in the race
You're never gonna slow down

You're dressed to kill
Kill me baby
You're never gonna let go
You're dressed to kill
You kill me baby
You're dressed to kill

Wake the dead with loud guitars
Screamin' in your head
An angel sings, fulfills the dreams
That are dancin' in your bed
Live for the danger
Die for the fun
Life's one big chase
You're caught in the race
You're never gonna slow down

You're dressed to kill
Kill me baby
You're never gonna let go
You're dressed to kill
You kill me baby
You're dressed to kill

You're dressed to kill

You're dressed to kill

Ahhhh, yeah
Kill me baby
You're dressed to kill
You kill me baby
You're dressed to kill
You're dressed to kill...

04. Hit 'n Run

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford, Moon Calhoun
You're like a runaway train
As you go speeding down lovers lane
You're heart's so blind when you get behind the wheel
That you can't see the love I feel

You say you're such a sensitive guy
Well, you're the one who's gonna cry

Hit 'n' run
On your love
Everyone knows it's true
Hit 'n' run
On your love
That's all I want to do
Hit your love
And runaway
Yeah, ah, runaway

You've been out on the street
You're making promises that you don't keep
Well, it don't matter if you make me cry
You're just a casualty of love gone by

I don't care if the street light is red
I'll just drive on straight ahead

Hit 'n' run
On your love
Everyone knows it's true
Hit 'n' run
On your love
That's all I want to do

Hit 'n' run
On your love
Everyone knows it's true
Hit your love
And runaway
Yeah, ah, runaway

Hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run
Hit 'n' run

05. Lady Killer

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford
Crank It

He's got a heart of stone
Don't look him in the eye
He'll tuck you in
And then he'll whisper goodbye
He knows you'll come back beggin' for more

A ball of fire, a thunderbolt
Across the town, well, he could love 'em all
He's just a lady killer

I've been trying for so long to stay with you
If all hell breaks loose
I could never forget all the memories
I can't run away from you

Lady killer
Lady killer

He'll break your heart
And he'll break your dreams
A man o' war, he'll bring you to your knees
He knows you'll come back beggin' for more

He wants it all and he wants it now
He stands in my way, he says, "Lay down"
He's just a lady killer
I've been trying for so long to stay with you
If all hell breaks loose
I could never forget all the memories
I can't run away from you

Lady killer
Lady killer

Oh, put it in baby

Lady killer
Lady killer

Lady killer
Lady killer

06. Still Waitin'

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford
You were my best friend
You never let me down
Whenever I needed you
You were always around

Those days are lost
Gone and thrown them away
You said it's over for you
But it ain't over for me

I'm still waitin'
Waitin' for you
I'm still waitin'
Waitin' for you

You drank my fine wine
You took my precious time
And you left me with nothin'
'Out a kiss
You were a bad move
What you tryin' to prove
With the way that ya treat me
I guess now I'm the fool

I'm still waitin'
Waitin' for you
I'm still waitin'
Waitin' for you

I'm still waitin'
Waitin' for you
I'm still waitin'
Waitin' for you

I tried, I tried to get
on your best side
Playin' your game,
I'll never give in
Don't throw our love away
You'll come runnin'
back, beggin' for
another day
If I can't hold on,
then I can just be
strong

I've been waitin'

Still waitin'
I'm still waitin'
I'm still waitin'
Waitin' for you, yeah!

I'm still waitin'
I'm still waitin'
I'm still waitin'
Waitin' for you

07. Fire In My Heart

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford
It's just another night
I stare at a star
I think about, I wonder how you are
I cannot escape you
No, I can't put out the fire in my heart

I don't feel shy, I'm not alone
But you're caught in my dreams, that's the way it seems
No matter how I try, I just can't put out the fire in my heart

Fire in my heart
One look in my eyes
And you'll realize
The fire in my heart
Is burnin' for you
Fire in my heart
The fire in my heart

Our hearts beat
Like thunder sings
You feel right
You know you're everything
No matter if we cry
We gotta turn around and walk our separate ways

The fire in my heart
One look in my eyes
And you'll realize
The fire in my heart
Is burnin' for you
The fire in my heart
The fire in my heart

It's just another night
I stare at a star
I think about, I wonder how you are
I cannot escape you
No, I can't put out the fire in my heart

The fire in my heart
One look in my eyes
And you'll realize
Fire in my heart
Is burnin' for you
The fire in my heart
The fire in my heart
The fire in my heart

08. Don't Let Me Down Tonight

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford
I'm so sad without you
I can't wait to see you again
I feel bad without you
I can't get you out of my head
So won't you come on home tonight
I'm gonna wait 'til the sun comes up
You're the only one in my life
So don't let me down...

Don't let me down tonight
Walk with me in the twilight
Don't let down tonight
Cause there's no one like you
So don't let me down tonight

You know I miss your face
I keep your photograph right by my bedside
You know I miss the way you that taste
I need you here with me at night
I'm gonna look you in the eyes
I want to hold you in my arms
I want to be with you tonight
So don't let me down...

Don't let me down tonight
Walk with me in the twilight
Don't let me down tonight
Don't let me down tonight
Cause there's no one like you
So don't let me down tonight

Don't let me down tonight
Walk with me in the twilight
Don't let me down tonight
Don't let me down tonight
Cause there's no one like you
So don't let me down tonight

Standing down under a burning sky
Flames shines bright in my eyes
It only shines when I look at you
It leaves me with just a smile

Don't let me down tonight
Don't let me down tonight
Don't let me down tonight
Don't let me down tonight
Don't let me

09. Run With The $

Music & lyrics by Lita Ford
Gettin' chased by a cop
He's got nothin' to say
Stop
Hey, you'll never get away

Breakin' the law
Quick on the draw
It's a stick up
I'm gonna kick down your door

I'm gonna take the money and run
If I ever escape
I'm gonna take a long vacation
I'm packin' my bags
I'm never gonna come back here

I'm gonna run with the money
I'm gonna pass right through the jail
I'm gonna run with the money
I got no time to waste, I got the red lights on my tail

He pulled out a gun
Fired a shot in the sky
He had a smile on his face
He said, "Run, run, run, run
Uh, yeah

So I ran like hell
Threw a dollar in the wishing well
A quick stop, for good luck
I'm gonna take the money and run

Now I'm far in the lead and I see no aggravation
But I can't stop here, I got to do it just one more time

I'm gonna run with the money
I'm gonna pass right through the jail
I'm gonna run with the money
I got no time to waste, I got the red lights on my tail

Gettin' chased by a cop
He's got nothin' to say
Stop
Hey, you'll never get away

Breakin' the law
Quick on the draw draw
It's a stick up
I'm gonna kick down your door

I'm gonna take the money and run
If I ever escape
I'm gonna take a long vacation
But I can't stop here, I got to do it just one more time

I'm gonna run with the money
I'm gonna pass right through the jail
I'm gonna run with the money
I got no time to waste, I got the red lights on my tail

I'm gonna run with the money

Oh, I'm gonna run with the money
and I'm gonna buy myself a little car.
I'm gonna buy myself lots of things.
Pack my nose real nice. Stay up all night long.
And I'm gonna get so outrageous, blown outta my brains.
And I'm goin' to live to enjoy...
The money!
Oh, excuse me, for being so rude.
