crowded room I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize 'Cos what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a silver spoon In a city where the buildings rise, I was just another face But mama told me when somebody dies, no one else can take your place I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize 'Cos I've got something for a girl like you, with a silver spoon I always knew I'd be somebody, I kept it in my head I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said chorus... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CADILLAC DREAMS 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

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KING OF HEARTS She was just 19, but in here eyes she was old enough to know We were caught between two city streets, like a bad dream We could barely survive in the world outside, where the writin's on the wall Still she lets me know, we just can't let go, and she takes my heart away Chorus: When she tells me I want it, I go crazy, I need it When she touches I feel it, right there in her eyes I'm the King of Hearts, livin' in a fantasy The King of Hearts, when she's layin' next to me Shinin' like a jewel tonight, love is gonna rule tonight Yeah I'm gonna be the only one, to be King of Hearts Like a neon light, the shadows flash across my empty room We could leave tonight and save ourselves from a bad scene When we walk on by with our heads up high, all the faces turn our way Yeah it's in their eyes, and they realize, we can make our getaway chorus (Solo) chorus to fade ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE STREET GIVETH AND THE STREET TAKETH AWAY Hey man, gotta take a stand, so you think that you've been had I'm here to

Chorus: 'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away Where there's no blind justice, no way Hey man, don't you understand, you can run but you can't hide There ain't no life after death, so save your breath (you're gonna) Be a rock 'n roll suicide Hey man, do you need a hand, but I ain't no blessing in disguise Feel the agony, and the ecstacy, it's gonna burn right through ya chorus Life's too short, so help yourself, 'cause I don't walk on water chorus 'Cause the street giveth and the street taketh away (repeats out) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ YOU LOVE ME TO HATE YOU You tell lies when you look at me, smile when you look away Spin a web any fool can see, put your candy on display It's a game of who needs who, who's on top, me or you Pleasure and pain feel the same when the night is thru Chorus: Girl you want me to cry, feel like I'm gonna die Girl you want me to bleed, feel the thrill of my need Girl you want me to bed, wish to hell I was dead Cos you love me to hate you, yeah you love me to hate you Girl you love me to hate you, and the more that I hate you I love you You're like a cat on a hot tin roof, I love it when you scratch and bite You got my heart in a hangman's noose, pull the rope and make it tight Love's like a chain holdin' you to me, you're the lock, baby I'm the key Don't wanna walk 'cause we're caught in a fantasy chorus It's a game of who needs who, who's on top, me or you Pleasure and pain feel the same when the night is thru chorus Cos you love me to hate you, yeah you love me to hate you Girl you love me to hate you, and the more that I hate you I love you And the more that I hate you I love you Yeah the more that I hate you I love you (repeats out) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL I'd have to be a mindreader, baby, just to know what's goin' on You don't need no crystal ball, sugar, can't you see my love is strong Don't you know my temperature is startin' to rise up And it's draggin' me under your spell Chorus: Somewhere between heaven and hell Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell Somewhere between pleasure and pain I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry You don't have to see no furtune teller, to see I just can't take no more You been such a heartbreaker, baby, you keep a lock on heaven's door Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions And standin' in the shadow of love Somewhere between heaven and hell Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell Somewhere between the truth and a lie Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you, I can't hurt you Don't need your lovin', don't want nothin' Don't need your sympathy, don't need a friend I just need somethin' I can believe in, I can believe in Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions And hidin' in the shadow of love I'm somewhere between heaven and hell Sometimes I think you want me, but I can never tell Somewhere between pleasure and pain I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry Somewhere between love and hate Don't know just what I'm feelin', babe I think it's gettin' late Somewhere between the truth and a lie Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LITTLE CAESAR Ten million stories in the city, ten million backs against the wall Desperation's out tonight, you can cut it with a knife Everybody wants to have it all Well they tell you that the world is rough But they never rocked it hard enough Chorus: Hey little Caesar, nobody messing with you Hey little Caesar, go show 'em what you can do Nobody said that it was pretty, you haven't got a penny or a prayer You know it's gonna be a fight, if you wanna see your name in lights Ain't nobody gives a damn out there Well you got your guts, you got your pride But you'll never let them see inside chorus (Spoken:) Well you don't believe in the books and rules 'Cause you just believe in what you know is cool Well they tell you that the world is rough But they never rocked it hard enough - I can't hear you They just don't understand, you gotta fight to be a man chorus Hey little Caesar, oh yeah, that's what it is Hey little Caesar, yeah ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BOOMERANG Gonna throw down the dice on a roll, it's a showdown, gonna walk on hot coals Cut the deck, better place your bet, 'cause the game ain't over yet Wanna keep you under lock and key, can't you see what you do to me Get the noose, I know I'm gonna hang, 'cause you're like a boomerang, boomerang On the way up, you change your tune, so pay up, and it ain't too soon Can't make up or break up, can't feel a thing, you want a piece of everything First you're cold and then you're hot, you're in the mood and then you're not Yeah, I know I'll get a bang, 'cause you're like a boomerang, boomerang You can slip and you can slide, but there ain't nothin' you can hide You just can't say no, well here I come, baby, and here I go A boomerang, a boomerang ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
