Lyrics

1.
Typical Male
Tell me lawyer what to do
I think I'm falling in love with you
Defend me from the way I feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life
I'm sure we can make a deal
I confess I'm a fool for men with a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match with this heart of mine

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

Your sense of justice I'll embrace
But your defense don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer gotta catch me when I fall
Oh they say that you match your wits with the best of them
But I know when I'm close you're just like the rest of them

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in
Open up your heart and let me in

What You Get Is What You See
Some boys got the look of a Greek Adonis
Some boys try to talk you off your feet
Some boys they're gods gift to woman
Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat
Try to change the habit of a lifetime
Don't even try
'Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing
You realize

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you want to love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love

Some guys got lips that you can't help kissing
And some guys got a smile you can't resist
Some guys gotta build a reputation
They just want to add you to the list
You got a lot of physical attraction
I can't deny
But can you guarantee me satisfaction
While I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you want to love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love

So let me see your cards on the table
Before I buy
I always read the writing on the label
So give me reason to believe there's more to you than meets the eye
3.
Two People
Two people living on the edge of life
Are people running out of dreams and time
I can hear it when you tell me so
I can feel it but I can't let go

Two people gotta stick together
And love one another, save it for a rainy day
Some people gotta stay whatever
And give one another shelter on a rainy day

Two people living in the way we do
Are people trying to keep a love anew
What to say to make some sense of it
What to do to make the feeling fit

Two people gotta stick together
And love one another, save it for a rainy day
Some people gotta stay whatever
And give one another shelter on a rainy day

I'll come running to your rescue
You gotta stand by me
There's a lot of love between us
We should never let go

Till the Right Man Comes Along
It's time to face the music
Tonight I came to use it
You never know
Who you're gonna meet in here
I thought I'd never find it
The dark and handsome kind
I used to dream of
And now you're standing there
Though you're looking good to me
It doesn't mean that you can do as you please

Oh baby you're the best thing in my life
But a one-track mind is what you got
Oh baby you're the best bet here tonight
And a one-track mind is worth a lot
I've got no good reason to believe we'll last for long
But that's good enough for me till the right man comes along

I've waited for a lover
The kind who'll stay forever
You look to me
Like the sort of man I need
It's not the best scenario
But now I've found you I'm letting you go

Oh baby you're the best thing in my life
But a one-track mind is what you got
Oh baby you're the best bet here tonight
And a one-track mind is worth a lot
For the perfect guy maybe I should be holding on
And with you I could till the right man
Till the right man comes along
5.
Afterglow
I need you here beside me to chase the night away
I need your love to guide me safe through another day
I lie and watch the lights go down
Say goodnight to another town
And though it hurts to be alone
I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm

In the afterglow of your love
Dreamings all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

If you could see me now
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
The me that only you would know
Still burning in the afterglow

When the beat of the drum has faded
The show comes to an and
The stage is clear and loaded
And the highway calls again
I stand and watch the lights go down

In the afterglow of your love
Dreamings all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

If you could see me now
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
The me that only you would know
Still burning in the afterglow

Stay with me right to the end
Till I can hold you again

Girls
Girls, we come and we go
We kiss, come and we go
Like a breeze, brushing your cheek
Like pain, like the tears on a face

Girls, we come and we go
Like spirits, we vanish at dawn
My heart, suspended in time
Like you, vanish like tears in the rain

Girls, we take our loves away
Like spirits living so far away
Girls, pretending to break down and cry
Girls, whispering wind, what are we giving away

We used to be so happy
Remember, remember, so happy
I never knew how lonely
Could feel
7.
Back Where You Started
Baby tell me what you're trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen, I ain't gonna take one more night
You're the one who broke the rules
And I'm the one who played the fool
Now you're trying to tell me it's alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
You'll never get another chance again

You'll be back where you started
I know you won't admit it but you're broken-hearted
Back where you started
You think it's gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder

You had a way with words
One look and I was under your spell
I didn't know should I stay or should I run
You can't deny you told me lies
Love 'em and leave 'em baby, that's your style
I'm not afraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire I guess you'll never learn
You mess with me babe, you 're gonna get burned

You'll be back where you started
I know how it feels when you've been discarded
Back where you started
You think you got it made but it won't get you far, no it won't get you far

Who's gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime
I'll tell you one thing, you've really done it this time
You took your one chance and let it slip away

Break Every Rule
Every road that I walk
Every single flight I ever take
Though I'm thousands of miles away
In my mind every journey leads me closer to you
I've been all around this world
I've been in far too many states
But I'm under your spell
I've made my mistakes, oh you can probably tell

You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing I've ever seen
I'm always singing your praises
Counting the days away
I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you
I'm in love with you baby
I'm gonna break every rule

I hope you can forgive
Every white lie I'm forced to tell
They say that everything's fair in love and in war
And I'm not above cheating for you
One night I'll catch you off your guard
And you'll finally fall so hard
Strategically speaking I'm already beaten
I'll surrender to you

You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing I've ever seen
I'm always singing your praises
Counting the days away
I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you
I'm in love with you baby
I'm gonna break every rule

Every road that I walk on
Every flight that I ever take
Every dream that I dream of
Every journey brings me closer

Overnight Sensation
Well I guess I've been a long time
Working in a backline
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was mine
Two dollar high-heel shoes and a honky tonk dress
In the rhythm and the soul reviews I had a dream I guess

And I had to beat the stage fright
I had to cry all night
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was right
I said
Girl, get up and get out of this mess
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success

And all through the badlands
Rocking on the bandstands
It's so hard in the barbands
When there's no one there who understands
And Lady Luck will pas you by and she will never say yes
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success

I used to be a sweet little rock'n'roll singer
Chasing after fortune and fame
What's your story? What's your payola?
Me I'm in the music game

Well I guess I've been a long time
Working in a backline
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was mine
What can I tell you, I made a break I guess
And now I'm an overnight sensation
I'm an over overnight success
