1. MAKE IT REAL


You can always trust your inner feelings
īcause 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
Donīt you know it could come true
Nowīs the time to set wheels turning
To open up your life for you

As you know thereīs always good and evil
Make your choice donīt be blind
Open up your mind and donīt be trivial
Thereīs 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
Donīt you know it could come true
Nowīs 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
Fantasy

Fantasy

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



2. DONīT MAKE NO PROMISES (YOUR BODY CANīT KEEP)


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 didnīt wanna know what Iīd got to say
Just shook her head and looked the other way
And then she said, Iīve met your type before
For me youīre all the same, youīre such a bore

Oh no, donīt make no promises
Oh no, your body canīt keep

Next day, can you believe, she was at the show
She said, hey man, youīre 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, donīt make no promises
Oh no, your body canīt keep

Oh no, donīt make no promises
Oh no, your body canīt keep

Oh no, donīt make no promises
Oh no, your body canīt keep

Oh no, donīt make no promises
Oh no, your body canīt keep



3. HOLD ME TIGHT


Sheīs the one, thatīs what I thought
When our love had just begun
But times have changed
And Iīs better go
Because itīs gonna be too late
And all my love will turn to hate
Youīve always known
That music is my life
And I live just for Rockīn Roll
No one can make me change my mind
īcause I just want to live my life

Alright donīt want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright Iīm leaving tonight
Alright woman, Iīll get out of your sight

Youīre still the one
But youīve shown me
How independent youīve become
Donīt tell me you need, you need me
To be your ever faithful strong lovinī man
Donīt tell me Iīm wrong
I gotta go my way
And youīll see, where I belong
You live your life and I live mine
I bet, you will turn out fine

Alright donīt want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright Iīm leaving tonight
Alright woman, Iīll get out of your sight

Alright donīt want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright Iīm leaving tonight
Alright woman, Iīll get out of your sight

Alright donīt want me to stay
Alright have it your way
Alright Iīm leaving tonight
Alright woman, Iīll get out of your sight



4. TWENTIETH CENTURY MAN


In the jungle of these times
Honest loveīs so hard to find
In the world of video
Computers tell you what to do
The worldīs 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
Canīt you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?

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

No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Canīt you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?

No more space for love
The world gets really tough
Canīt you see the end
Twentieth Century Man?



5. LADY STARLIGHT


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, theyīre 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 couldnīt stay

I see the stars, theyīre 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, theyīre 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


I look in your eyes, I really think youīre fooling me
Youīre pretty and nice, it doesnīt matter donīt you see
īcause I falling in love, it happens to me every day
Iīm falling in love, love just seems to slip away

Iīm falling in love
Ooh, oooh
Iīm falling in love
Ooh, oooh
Iīm falling in love
Ooh, oooh

Donīt tell me your lies, I donīt believe a word you say
You do realize, I move around from day to day
And Iīm falling in love, it happens to me every day
Iīm falling in love, love just seems to slip away

Iīm falling in love
Ooh, oooh
Iīm falling in love
Ooh, oooh
Iīm falling in love
Ooh, oooh
Iīm falling in love



7. ONLY A MAN


Well you know it is hard
Being a long time apart
But itīs you that I love, donīt 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 Iīm back home
And we both are alone
I can feel all you love and your pain

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

Well itīs hard to say no
When youīve 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 itīs mostly too late

Yeah, I start feeling good
And I get in the mood
I guess, youīll know what I mean

These chicks all around
Itīs so hard to keep count
Itīs like a schizophrenic dream

Woman, Iīm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, Iīm 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 itīs you that I love, donīt 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, Iīm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, Iīm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real

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



8. THE ZOO


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, sheīs 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



9. ANIMAL MAGNETISM


You get me loose
I want ya, thatīs all I do
You leave me loose

You make me groove

You let me groove

Your magic is strange and new
Who are you?

Love me till Iīm down

Make love to me right now
