Hey good lookin’, I see you standin’ all by yourself
Aren’t you lovely, I’d love to have you all to myself
I look over, flash a smile and then turn away
I’d walk over, but I’m too scared of what you might say

Soooo I just lay back and wait for my chance
Maybe later I’ll stroll on by and ask for a dance 
Then I turn around and someone else is dancin’ with you

Why’d it take so long to make my move?!

Hey good lookin’, been a while since I’ve seen your face
Ain’t it special, the way we always meet in this place
You’re alone now, so no one else can get in my way
A little longer, till I can find the courage to say

That I’ve been watching you (for) so long
Movin’ closer, ooooohh I wanna kiss you so bad
Then I turn around and someone else is hangin’ with you

Why’d it take so long to make my move?! 

GUITAR SOLO

Hey good lookin’, I see you movin closer to me
I start shakin’, sweatin’ and my knees gettin’ weak
Am I crazy, but it looks like you’ve got something to say
Can’t believe it, all this time you’ve felt the same way

Well what the hell were you waiting for?
Five more seconds I was heading straight for the door
Then you turn and say, baby I’ve been diggin’ on you.

Why’d it take so long to make your move.

Heeeeeeeeeey good lookin’
Heeeeeeeeeey good lookin’
Heeeeeeeeeey good lookin’
Heeeeeeeeeey good lookin’

Yeah When I'm kissing my love 
I hear a thump a thumping in my head woo-oh

Yeah I'm kissing my love 
I close my eyes and see a pretty city 
With a million flowers beds

I can hear the angels sing 
Songs that only angels sing 
She's such a pretty thing 
That I can feel my heart 
Just a jumping and a skipping 
When I'm kissing my love 

When I'm kissing my love 
Feel the blood a pumping in my veins 
Whoo-ooh
When I'm kissing my love 
She's such a tender sender 
With her sweet young frame 

She's so good at what she does 
All she wants to do is kiss and hug 
She's got me in love 
And I can feel my heart 
Just a jumping and skipping 
When I'm kissing my love, keep on kissing

-Guitar Solo-
Put your foot on the rock and pat your foot, 
Don't stop, put your foot on the rock 

Yeah when I'm kissing my love 
Feel the blood pumping in my veins 
Hey when I'm kissing my love 
She's such a tender sender 
With her sweet young frame

Whoa now 
She's so good at what she does 
All she wants to do is kiss and hug 
She's got me in love 
And I can feel my heart 
Just a jumping and a skipping 
When I'm kissing my love

Tell me where you want to go today
Let it spill out from your heart
Everybody finds their way eventually
Once they have a place to start

Get on the train we’re boarding
Love’s like coffee in the morning
Try not to go insane
Everybody get on the train, WOO-WOO!

Break through the heart of a new day
Do your part and make a get away
Seven days a week on this train
And then we do it over again, WOO-WOO!

Don’t get down about your life
No matter how the cards may fall
Stand up and show you’ve got some fight
When your back’s against the wall yeah!

Get on the train we’re boarding
Love’s like coffee in the morning
Try not to go insane
Everybody get on the train, WOO-WOO!

Break through the heart of a new day
Do your part and make a get away
Seven days a week on this train
And then we do it over again, WOO-WOO!

(oohhs then ahhhs)

-	Horn Feature to Guitar Solo –

With all the pressures in your life
Try not to keep them all inside
And if you fall behind the pack (baby)
You know I’ve always got your back (yeah)

Get on the train we’re boarding
Love’s like coffee in the morning
Try not to go insane
Everybody get on the train, WOO-WOO!

Break through the heart of a new day
Do your part and make a get away
Seven days a week on this train
And then we do it over again, WOO-WOO!

L-O-V-E, to you from me, L-O-V-E love WOO-WOO!

Get on the train we’re boarding
Love’s like coffee in the morning
Try not to go insane
Everybody get on the train, WOO-WOO!

Break through the heart of a new day
Do your part and make a get away
Seven days a week on this train
And then we do it over again, WOO-WOO!

L-O-V-E, to you from me, L-O-V-E love WOO-WOO!

(One – Two – Three)

There is a secret I carry with me nobody knows
Round here the truth is only as true as the cards that you hold
I was a king and I had me a queen at least for a time
One day the queen met my wife and my life took a turn on a dime
And I said
Oooooh, I got wise

Paid my price (ohhh)
Failed my wife (ohhh)
I tell ya, that’s just life, but I 
Paid my, Paid my, Paid my price

Banged out a living, working for my daily bread
Saved me a little but ya know I never much got ahead
One day my guy says he’s got me an offer I cannot refuse
Ain’t no success, only suckers invest money that they can’t lose

And I said
Oooooh, I got wise

Paid my price (oohhh )
Took bad advice (oohhh )
Maybe that’s just life, but I 
Paid my, Paid my, Paid my price

(oooohhh) 
Don’t you ever let ‘em tell you that the ride is free
When you’re tempted oh to think it, you should think of me, then think twice….
Paid my, paid my price

There is a secret I carry with me nobody knows
Round here the cost doesn’t always make up for the goods that you’re sold
(oh oh) Paid My Price
(oh oh) Failed my wife
(oh oh) Maybe that’s just life
but I, paid my, paid my, paid my
(oh oh) Paid My Price
(oh oh) Took Bad Advice
(oh oh) Maybe that’s just life, but I 
Paid My, paid my, paid my, paid my Price

I don’t know where to go, I don’t want to take it slow
So, I will follow you for now
I know your mom and daddy raised you better,
But I gotta get with you some how
Well, I know it’s a sin, but if you were wondering
I’d probably let you take me home
Can’t you tell that I’m hungry girl, 
Won’t you throw this dog a bone

Cause if you want me, I want you
This is normally something, that I don’t do
Girl quit teasing and playing around
Baby can we get down?

Can you hear me talkin’?

It ain’t hard to read the clues, everyone can tell that you
Appreciate the finer things in life
I know your mom and daddy raised you better,
But daddy ain’t around tonight
It’s just you, and me, and the spaces in between
Of what we want and what we get
It’s our chance to make a beautiful memory
On your mark I’m ready, get set

Cause if you want me, I want you
This is normally something, that I don’t do
Girl quit teasing and playing around 
Baby can we get down?

Cause if you want me, I want you
This is normally something, that I don’t do
Girl quit teasing and playing around
Baby can we get down?

Tell me what your name is?
I don’t care who you came with!
Baby let me meet you!

(Cause) if you want me, I want you
This is normally something, that I don’t do
Girl quit teasing and playing around
Baby can we get down?

Cause if you want me, I want you
This is normally something, that I don’t do
Girl quit teasing and playing around
Baby can we get down?

Tell me what your name is?
I don’t care who you came with!
Baby let me meet you!

Tell me what your sign is
Won’t you let me get behind it
Cause I’m about to make my move!

Cause if you want me, I want you
This is normally something, that I don’t do
Girl quit your teasing and stop with your running and playing around
Baby can we get down? Yeah!

(Spoken) Alright, I need you all to try something with me. Fellas and ladies, Y’all try it like this…

Uhhh Ahhh

That’s the sound of this man working on your bed-springs (Uhhh Ahhh)
That’s the sound of the man working on your bed-springs (Uhhh Ahhh)
All night long you’re going (uhhh ahhh)
Alright Alright  Yeah! (Uhhh Ahhh)
That’s the sound of this man working on your bed-springs (Uhhh Ahhh)

Oh oh, woah oh oh oh
Oh oh, woah oh oh oh

It’s hard to say, we’re meant for each other
If it doesn’t hurt when I see you with another
Ask me, ask me and I’ll be gone, gone

I’m closer to possibility
It’s wide open right in front of me
A blank stare, I’ve been there, no longer hesitating no, no

Ready to begin again…..

Tell me, how did, how did I fall?
Ignored all the warnings and couldn’t see through it all
Tell me, how did, how did I fall?
Believing we were invincible 

Oh oh, woah oh oh oh
Oh oh, woah oh oh oh

It’s taken, years on the run
Easily mistaken when the damage is done
Confession over emptiness, yes

Ready to begin again…..

Tell me, how did, how did I fall?
Ignored all the warnings and couldn’t see through it all
Tell me, how did, how did I fall?
Believing we were invincible 

-	Guitar Solo -

How did, how did I fall?
Ignored all the warnings and couldn’t see through it all
Tell me, how did, how did I fall?
Believing, believing

Tell me, how did, how did I fall?
Ignored all the warnings and couldn’t see through it all
Tell me, how did, how did I fall?
Believing we were invincible 

We were invincible
We were invincible
