A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can’t look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace

Where you don’t know what you’re after
Or if something’s after you
And you don’t know why you don’t know
In a world without heroes

In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing

Where you don’t know what you’re after
Or if something’s after you
And you don’t know why you don’t know

In a world without heroes
There’s nothing to be
It’s no place for me

Baby, now that you’ve made up your mind
I’m gonna let you go, if that’s what it takes to show love is blind
I gave you the best love you ever had, but it wasn’t enough
So if you think you’re so smart, go and play with your heart
When you walk out the door, you’ll realize what you never did before
Chorus:
A million to one – that’s what it will be
A million to one – there’s someone better than me
A million to one – no, you never will find
A million to one – another love like mine

Yeah, we chose our sides and I’ve been misunderstood
But everytime I try to open your eyes, I’m damned and I’m no good
Day after day, you’re further away, I can’t take anymore
So it’s time that you go, but I want you to know, I won’t stand in your way
Deep in my heart I know, girl you’re runnin’ away

chorus
A million to one

One of these days you’ll come out of your haze, no matter what you do
It’ll be too late, something good won’t wait, love is runnin’ out on you

A million to one, a million to one

chorus

A million to one – listen to your heart girl – a million to one – oh
A million to one – no, you never will find
A million to one – another love like mine
A million to one – no, you never will find
A million to one – another love like mine

A million to one (repeats out)

I’m sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while
You’ll reacquaint yourself with my style
Well, how could you have waited so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up a fear
For a hundred thousand years

I’m sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up a fear
For a hundred thousand years

And baby won’t you let me
I think I’m goin’ out of my head
I’m just about to, ooh yeah, ha

I’m sorry to have taken so long
It must have been a bitch while I was gone
You mind if I sit down for a while, would you babe
You’ll reacquaint yourself with my style

Put your hand in my pocket
Grab onto my rocket
Feels so good to see you Lucille
Baby got to know
Do do you want to go
How you gonna make me feel
I said “Go baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah
Oh, baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah”
So take me any way you want me
Just break me any way you can
Take me any way you want me, now
Make me feel like a man, yeah

Sittin’ in the back
Her head down in my lap
The moonlight shinin’ down on her hair
The radio was playin’
Her fingertips were strayin’
Her mama didn’t she was there, no

She said “Oh baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah
Oh, baby, you make me feel ah, ah, ah, ah yeah”
So take me any way you want me
Just break me any way you can
Take me any way you want me, now
Make me feel like a man
Make me feel it, baby

Ahh, take me any way you want me
Just break me any way you can

Squeeze me, you can have it any way you can
Take me, hold me baby, come on, now, come on, now
Ah, ah, ah, ah yeah
Take me

Well my mind is gettin’ dirty yeah around eleven thirty, uh huh
I wanna watch some asses shakin’ to the noise the boys are makin’, uh huh
Ooh, so I hop into my car, hit the local titty bar, uh huh
‘Cause that’s my kind of situation when I need some perspiration, uh huh
I do my one-step shoppin’ for the girl of my dreams
‘Cause I can always be sure that she’s as good as she seems
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you’d do me
I wanna see what’s inside, ’cause you got nothin’ to hide
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, yeah!

Wave your panties in the air, lick your lips and shake your hair, uh huh
Ooh, when you spread a little oil, yeah, my blood begins to boil, uh huh
Yeah, it’s so hard to choose, when you all look so fine
But I got nothin’ to lose but my money and my mind

Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you’d do me
I wanna see what’s inside, ’cause you got nothin’ to hide
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy

Ooh, take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, yeah! Take it off!

(Instrumental break)

Ooh, move your sweet body closer (I want to be alone with you)
Yeah, come on and be my fantasy (there’s so much you and I could do)
Oh, you’re so near I can taste you (you’re teasin’ me, yeah you’re pleasin’ me)
(Ahh) I know you’re dancin’ just for me, just for me, just for me

Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, pretty baby

Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you’d do me
Girl, you got nothin’ to hide, now lemme see what’s inside
Take it off! Take it, take it, take it off! Yeah!

I’m getting off this carousel, you can do as you please, you can go to hell
You put my back against the wall
Well I’m not gonna fall on my knees, no not at all
Chorus:
So you’re a saint, I’m a sinner, but deuces are wild
Better wake up, it’s break up, I ain’t got the time
So (baby) you can kiss my heart bye bye

Next to you I feel I’m all alone, love’s turned to stone, ooh yeah
Cross my heart and hope to cry, well I’m not gonna die
Without you it’s aces high

chorus

Bye bye babe

Kiss my heart bye bye, you missed my heart this time around
Kiss my heart bye bye, and I don’t need no one at all, no!

There’s no right and there’s no wrong, I’m moving on
I’ll go it alone, because love’s turned to stone

chorus

So bye bye babe, bye bye babe
No I’m not gonna die, cross my heart and hope to cry

No no no no I’m not gonna die, so bye bye bye babe
Well I’m not gonna die without you babe
No I’m not gonna die

All the victims have turned to stone, no one is happy, they’re all alone
I’d sacrifice my social position tonight
In New York, millionaires, and lonely people with lonely stares
I’m not lookin’ for love and I’m lost in this night
In the naked city (in the city) there are ten million stories (naked city)
I’m not lookin’ for pity (in the city) in this naked city (naked city)

Street vampires in the night, young lovers and love at first sight
This is my flesh and my fantasy
Older women with younger men, I’ve got a feelin’ I’m in trouble again
But I’ve got to live my destiny

In the naked city (in the city) it’s a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
In the naked, naked city (in the city) naked city

Lonely people lookin’ for someone, lonely people goin’ their way
Lonely people lookin’ for something, lonely people goin’ their way

In New York, millionaires, lonely people with lonely stares
I’m not lookin’ for love and I’m lost in this night

In the naked city, there are ten million stories
I’m not lookin’ for pity in this naked city
In the naked, naked city (in the city), it’s a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)

(In the city, naked city) (repeats out)

I know what you’re like, you’re not sleepin’ at night
I know you’re losing control, I know your plans
Where you’re keeping your hands, I know it’s taking its toll
Sweet little innocent girl, making your way in this world
Something you’re feeling tonight tells you what’s wrong and what’s right
Chorus:
You gotta keep me comin’ (keep me comin’), keep me comin’ (keep me comin’)
You gotta keep me comin’ (keep me comin’), keep me comin’ babe (keep me comin’)

Hands on my shoulders now, you’re getting bolder, your fears are slipping away
Each little bite lets me know that you’re ripe, you’re thinking maybe you’ll stay
Now that you’re burning to know, how far you’re willing to go
Now that it’s under your skin, now that you’re lettin’ me in

chorus repeats 2x

Ooh yeah, comin’, comin’

Ooh yeah, right here, right now

chorus repeats out…

I was so frightened
I almost ran away
I didn’t know that I could do
Anything I needed to
And then a bolt of lightning
Hit me on my head
Then I began to see
I just needed to believe in me
Now I, I believe in me
And I, I believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me

They said I didn’t stand a chance
I wouldn’t win no way
But I’ve got news for you
There’s nothing I can’t do
Ain’t no pretending
Ain’t no make believe
But I’ve got to be the one
I gotta do what must be done

Chorus
I believe in me
Yes, I believe in me – yeah

I don’t need no money
I don’t need no fame….No
I just need to believe in me
And I know most definitely
Don’t need to get wasted
It only holds me down
I just need a will of my own
And the balls to stand alone

Chorus

Well do you really
Yes, I believe in me
Do you do you
Yes, I believe in me
I wanna rock ‘n roll
Yes, I believe in me!

When I was seventeen, found out just what it means
If you can get it free, it just ain’t worth a damn
When I heard the preacher say, don’t throw your life away
I got that message, and I wrote it on the wall

I don’t want anybody tellin’ me lies, no, I don’t want your diamond ring
‘Cause you ain’t got my size

I want money, money, that’s what I need,
I got Cadillac dreams, please mister don’tcha take it from me
Give me money, money, more than I need, I got Cadillac dreams waitin’ on me
Cadillac dreams, Cadillac dreams

When I had the young boy blues, I paid some young boy dues
I learned the hard way, there’s a heartbreak every day

Stone cold reality came crashing down on me
Well life was hard on me, but I still don’t give a damn

When I was seventeen I was an angry young man
But I won’t let just anybody tell me who I am

I just want money, money, that’s all I need
I got Cadillac dreams, hey mister don’tcha take it from me
Give me money, money, more than I need, these Cadillac dreams are waitin’ on me

Didn’t have the time of day, till this dream was born
You can’t take that away, you can’t take that away from me

(Solo)

When I was seventeen, there was this beauty queen
Checked in a one room suite, the back seat of my car

When you want all the best things money can buy
You gotta reach down inside of you, to reach up to the sky

Yeah, I want money, money, that’s all I need
I got Cadillac dreams, hey mister you can’t take that from me
I want money, money, more than I need, I got Cadillac dreams waitin’ on me

Money, money, that’s what I need
We’re drivin’ in my Chevy with my Cadillac dreams
Someday, one day, just you and me
We’ll ride inside these Cadillac dreams
