 SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT Written by: D. L. Byron
 
We're running with the Shadows Of The Night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
 
You said - oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
 
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
 
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
Cause we got nobody else
 
We're running with the Shadows of the Night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
 
You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
 
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
 
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight
 
We're running with the Shadows of the Night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
 
We're running with the Shadows of the Night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
 
And now the hands of time are standing still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will
We're running with the Shadows of the Night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
 

 
LOOKING FOR A STRANGER Written by: Franne Golde & Peter McIan
 
I had it with the same old routine
I had it with the same old faces, places
Everynight, in my life
 
I started feeling washed up, washed out
Hung up, wrung out, left to dry out
Everynight
 
But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
 
I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
 
I'm tired of the same old -
Hello baby, how ya doun'? Come here often?"
Where have you been all my life?"
Everynight
 
But I know
That someday, somewhere
I'll turn around and you'll be there
Ooo.., In my life
Everynight
 
But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
 
I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
 
I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves
I know you think I'm fakin', but can't you feel the curves?
I swear to you I feel it, it scares me half to death
It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath
 
Anxiety, Got me on the run
Anxiety, I just need someone
Anxiety, Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, Spoils all the fun
 
I'm picking up the telephone, there's no one I can call
I need somebody bad tonight, can't find no sleep at all
I wish I could relax, I just can't stop my mind
I wish I could collapse but my body's not that kind
 
Anxiety, Got me on the run
Anxiety, Yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety, Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, Spoils all the fun
 
Can't you hear my heartbeat, hear the way it sounds?
Can't you hear my heartbeat, You hear the way it pounds?
Just give me somethin' to slow it down, Yeah
 
Sometimes in the city, sometimes in my car
I pound on the windows like a bee inside a jar
 
Anxiety, Got me on the run
Anxiety, Yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety, Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, Spoils all the fun

FIGHT IT OUT Written by: Neil Geraldo & Billy Steinberg
 
I heard you say you're feelin' like a change now
Maybe, baby this could be arranged now
But I warn you that no exotic scenery
Will solve your problems or make you feel easy
 
You say you're happy, but I see apprehension
That little laugh of yours doesn't hide the tension
The precious book you clutch so tightly in your hands
Won't help you sleep at night, won't iron out your plans
 
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when
 
You ask advice, then resent my observations
If I didn't care, then I wouldn't make them
Can't change the past, so why let it haunt you
Can paint the future, but first you have to want to
 
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when
 
I can see how much you hurt inside
I know all about the tears you hide
 
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
 
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
 
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
 
It's always the lonely who pay a price for love in the end
 

 
THE VICTIM Written by: Neil Geraldo & Billy Steinberg
 
You've been set up one too many times
The perfect victim for the perfect crime
 
You left yourself wide open to the pain
So close your eyes now
You're out walkin' in the rain
 
You've got a burning desire to be The Victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
 
Your choice of lovers, never very bright
Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight
 
You always think their hearts are made of gold
And you're the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold
 
You've got a burning desire to be The Victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're The Victim
 
Break the pattern, you've gotta break away
Break the pattern before it gets too late
 
You've got a burning desire to be The Victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you're never told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're The Victim
 

 
LITTLE TOO LATE Written by: Alex Call
 
I hear you had a good offer down on Third Avenue
You tell me that was the reason
For whatcha' put me through, Yeah
 
And now you come collapsin' back
I feel the heat of your attack
Want me to take you back
I'm givin' you the sack
So don't waste your time
 
It's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
I'm a Little Too Hurt
And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say
 
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much I can take
Ah, it's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
 
You say you had a good time
But did ya' think it was for free - yeah
And how much did it get ya', all their flattery
 
And now you come back, runnin' for protection
You've been bitten by love and stung by rejection
You can't connect
What did you expect?
I'm still gettin' over you
 
It's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
I'm a Little Too Hurt
And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say
 
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much I can take
Ah, it's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
 
It's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
I'm a Little Too Hurt
And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much I can take
 
Ah, it's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
 

 
I'LL DO IT  Written by: Neil Geraldo & Pat Benatar
 
Well the unseen sights look good to you
I notice how you survey the room
Awkward conversation and you're too polite
You know that's always a clue
 
I'm wasting my time tryin' to tell ya'
That you're making the mistake of your life
Cause you're so sure that you need to go
At any cost, at any price
 
But, I'll Do It
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll Do It
But when you wanna come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!
 
Tell me, when did everything start to go wrong?
And why was I the last one to know?
You're so good at hidin' your feelings
I'm so good at lettin' mine show
 
Well I know how great it feels together
But that just isn't enough
Cause I need more than your bedside manner
I need someone to love
 
So, I'll Do It
I guess there's nothin' to say, its all been said
I'll Do It
Make sure you want it this way, `cause when it's done this time
I'll be gone
 
I'll Do It
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll Do It
But when you wanna come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!
 
I'll Do It
I'll Do It
I'll Do It
I'll Do It
I'll Do It
 

 
I WANT OUT  Written by: Neil Geraldo & Billy Steinberg
 
Ooh baby, got a hold on me, I can't deny it
You locked the door and you swallowed the key
And I... and I kept quiet
 
Yeah baby, got a hold on me, I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you `cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it on my own
 
But I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I Want Out!
I Want Out!
 
Ooh baby, your lovin' told on me, I couldn't smile anymore
My friends all told me, baby can't you see?
But I wasn't seeing clear before
 
Now I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I Want Out!
I Want Out!
 
Ooh baby, got a hold on me, I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you `cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it
I Want Out!
 
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
 

 
TELL IT TO HER Written by: Roger Bruno & Ellen Schwartz
 
I'm the one you put all your stories on
She's the one, you're keeping a secret from
She believes you, just like I did at the start
When you wrapped up my heart, and played with my emotions
 
Tell It To Her
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
I know why she would
There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good
Why don't you Tell It To Her
 
She don't know the darker side of you
She don't know what your love will put her through
Your sweet talkin' makes her feel so safe and sure
But that won't change what you are
And I'm the one who knows it
 
Tell It To Her
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
I know why she would
There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good
 
Why don't you Tell It To Her
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
I know why she would
There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good
 
You're the one who had it all and wanted more
But you can't do it to me anymore
 
Tell It To Her
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
I know why she would
There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good
 
Why don't you Tell It To Her
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
Go on and Tell It To Her
Tell It To Her
 
There's a fool born every minute
Tell It To Her
Go on and Tell It To Her
Tell It To Her
 

 
SILENT PARTNER Written by: Myron Grombacher
 
Background voices calling from a distance
(see no evil, hear no evil)
Static on the line of least resistance
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
 
I'm hanging on a wire, waitin' on the word
I'm never seen, you're never heard
 
The object of desire is seldom ever clear
I reach for you but all I hear
 
Are the background voices calling from a distance
Silent Partners, listen to the hush
 
A lover without words is easily deceived
And rumors easily believed
 
The matter of obsession is seldom ever clear
I turn around, you disappear
 
In background voices calling from a distance
Silent Partners, listen to the hush
 
Silent Partners
You know they don't say nothing at all
 
What about the things we never mention?
What about the things we never say?
 
Will we wind up targets of affection?
In silence, turning silent
The silent turn away
 
A paramour or less, is never really sure
Exactly what to listen for
In secret service to the things they never say
The Silent Partners fade away
 
To background voices, calling from a distance
Silent Partners, listen to the hush
Silent Partners
You know they don't say nothing at all
