I remember when rock was young
Me and Tommy had so much fun
Holding hands and skipping stones
Had an old Chevy and a place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rocking around the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

Well, Crocodile Rockin'
There's something shockin'
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will

Oh, mama mama, those Friday nights
When Pittsburgh rocks with all its might
Crocodile Rockin' was on the side

But the years went by and the rock just died
Tommy went and left us for some better time
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans

But they'll never kill the thrills we got
We all owe to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

Well, Crocodile Rockin'
There's something shockin'
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time
And I guess I never will

Oh, mama mama those Friday nights
When Pittsburgh rocks with all its might
Crocodile Rockin' was on the side

One more time!

If you mean it - well, then you mean it
If you don't - just stay away
I don't want to be a penny
That you saved for a rainy day

Stop wishing it, take action
I tell myself make your move
It's just a kiss
Better stop it, think logically
Do I want a guy who acts like this

Don't flirt with me
I can't deny, I want you baby
Don't flirt with me
Don't play mind games
Just stop, before someone gets hurt
Don't flirt

All I'm asking is for the real thing
No tricks are up my sleeve
Be straightforward, ask your questions
Tell me something I'll believe

My feelings are so strong
But they hurt so easily
(Hurt so easily)
I'm not asking for much at all
Just a lifetime guarantee

Don't flirt with me
I can't deny, I want you baby
Don't flirt with me
Don't play mind games
Just stop, before someone gets hurt

I know that there will come a time
When you will stop messing with my mind
And when love is the message you understand
I'll be here to give you some of your own medicine
You'll be saying

na na na na na na na
na na na na
na na na na na na na
na na na na
(ooh ooh)
na na na na na na na
na na na na

Don't flirt with me
I can't deny, I want you baby
Don't flirt with me
Don't play mind games
Just stop, before someone gets hurt

Stop, stop, stop it baby
Don't hurt me baby
Don't flirt with me
I can't deny, I need you baby
Don't flirt with me
Don't play mind games
Just stop

Don't flirt with me

I like to sing so I sing
Someday I'm gonna shine like the stars and
Yes, I can do it
I know I can do it
'Cause I can dream

My friend says when he grows up
He wants to find fires that burn bright and
Yes, he can do it
I know he can do it
'Cause he can dream

When people tell you it's impossible
But you know it's not true
That's the time to show them what you can do
Through dreaming

I like to reach so I reach
Tonight I'm going to reach for the stars and
Yes, I can do it
I know I can do it
'Cause I can dream

Yes I can do it
I'm gonna see to it
'Cause I can dream

Keeth Stewart:
Baby I know it's time to go but
I've been meaning to tell you for some time
How special you are, the closeness I feel for you, girl

Debbie Gibson:
Oh, the one thing I need to know is, do you feel it, too?
'Cause every night I close my eyes
And you're all I'm thinking about

Debbie Gibson and Keeth Stewart:
'Cause it's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice to know that someone cares
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
The best of our words are right here with me
Love under my pillow

Debbie Gibson:
Baby when I held your hand
Well you showed me that you cared
'Cause I felt my heart leap out from my head to my feet

Debbie Gibson and Keeth Stewart:
I felt like I wanted to give you the world
If only it was mine to give
'Cause without your loving, I can't live

Debbie Gibson and Keeth Stewart:
It's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice to know that someone cares
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
I have all your words
Right here with me
Under my pillow

Debbie Gibson and Keeth Stewart:
'Cause I no longer have to be alone - anymore
And I close my eyes and I shut the door
I turn up my favorite song
And baby I sing along
How can anything be so right
Nothin', nothin' at all is wrong

Debbie Gibson and Keeth Stewart:
It's so nice to go to sleep
With love under my pillow
It's so nice
It's so nice
I hold you close to me
At night, 'til the morning light
The best of our words and here with me
Under my pillow

Debbie Gibson and Keeth Stewart:
I got your words lying under my pillow
I got them all under my pillow
I got your words lying under my pillow
(repeat until the end of the song)

You filled the room
Lit up the stage
In the book of life
You wrote on every page

I feel you here
I know you know
I hold you, dear
Like flowers in an April snow

I, I wake, I sleep
I ache, I breathe
And long for what can only be

A song unsung
A book unread
A bell unrung
Things left unsaid
A letter that I'll never send

Long live love
Just shout it from the mountains
Drink it like the water that flowed between
Living life with the promise of tomorrow
But it seemed tomorrow was just a dream
Now through the pain...
I hear your sweet refrain

A song unsung
A book unread
A bell unrung
Things left unsaid
A letter that I'll never send
A fairytale without an end

A song I'll sing
A book I'll read
A bell I'll ring
An angel I'll always need...
Oh

Love is in the memory
Love is in the memory
I'll sing your melody
To keep you close to me
I'll share your dreams tonight
So you will never be
A song unsung...

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely at his side
Yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to change your mind

In the all night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there all alone
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone

So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to change your mind

Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
Dirt on her face, and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to change your mind

They teach you to read
They teach you to write
They teach you to say
Your prayers at night
They teach you good manners
And all that stuff
But they don't teach you how to love

Dad taught me fishin'
Baitin' the hook
Mama taught me how
To sew and cook
I know that they tried
But what I'm dreamin' of
Is that someone's gonna teach me how to love

Anyone can move a mountain
If they work hard enough
If it was only that easy
To move someone to love

They teach you to hurt
They teach you to hate
And learn to hold back
Till it's just too late
Then they teach you to run
When the goin' gets tough
But they don't teach you how to love

They teach you to dance
They teach you to sing
These days they teach you
Everything
I know why my heart
Feels like it does
If someone's gonna teach me how to love

Please won't you teach me how to love

There's a very good reason
Why there's not just
One person in this world
We gotta do what we can
Oh, there's a reason
Now there must be a plan
If we want to make it work
Word of mouth
Hand in hand

Whose world is it anyway?
Who do we think is gonna make it right?
Whose world is it anyway?
Who are we hurting?
After all, it's our fight

There's a time for laying low
There's a time for sticking your neck out
On the line
I think now's our time
'Cause there's a real real problem
What are we without the air we breathe?
No one should have to be without

Whose world is it anyway?
Who do we think is gonna make it right?
Whose world is it anyway?
Who are we hurting?
After all, it's our fight

After all, it's our life
We've gotta make it stop
But it begins with just one drop
We will do it, in just one day
But if we never stop
The earth will crumble
Fall apart
And the children will be left
In a helpless land

Who's gonna make it right?
Who's gonna make it right?
We've gotta make it right
Or no one else will

There's a reason
Now there's gotta be a time
Gotta stick your neck out
On the line
