One Step Away
(Goudreau/Delp)

You got my motor runnin' honey for sure
What are we sittin' here wasting our time for
There isn't any reason for us to wait
Come to papa, honey don't hesitate

Chorus:
We're just one step away
We're just one step away
We're just one step away
One step is all it takes


I'd like to know what's goin' on in your head
We're good together, we'd be better in bed
Who got you thinking that it's such a mistake
Try to fail, honey give me a break

(Chorus)
(Repeat)


I don't know what I'm gonna do if you say you need more time
'Cause I can't wait until you're mine

(Chorus)

You say you want it, but you're really not sure
Come to papa honey, I've got the cure

(Chorus)

We're just one step away
We're just one step away
We're just one step away
Oh, come on just take one little baby step to daddy now

One step away
One step away
(We're just) One step away


Fool for Love
(Goudreau/Delp)


My heart tells me it's ending
In your silence, your eyes speak for you
How did we get to be so good at pretending
That we can't say what we both know is true

You don't love me like you used to
I learn to live with the pain, but

Chorus:
This heart will mend
This heart will mend
Time and again
I've been a fool for love


Maybe it's best we get it all out in the open
This second guesses getting too hard to do
There's nothing left, we keep going through the motions
It's not fair to me and it's not fair to you

I don't even know who you've been sleeping with
I learn to fend for myself, but

(Chorus)

If you can't be honest with me
On the back of my heart I'll go

This heart will mend

Sometimes I think it's just a question of ambition
Who wants it more and how much will let lay
I don't know, but I've got my suspicions
You don't seem like you care much anyway

I don't even know who you've been sleeping with
I learn to fend for myself, but

(Chorus)

This heart will mend (This heart will mend)
This heart will mend (This heart will mend)
Time and again I've been a fool for love
I've been a fool again



Such a Fool
(Goudreau/Delp)


Some people say it's best to forget about it
Don't let the past slip into the day
I know no matter how I fret about it
Your love is falling by the way

The thought of you keeps playing in my head
Playing here, restless in my bed

Chorus:
Oh, baby I was such a fool
For loving you the way that I do
Baby I was such a fool


In my heart I really can't decide
To give it up or let this feeling ride
Every day I keep hoping for relief
Every night I cry myself to sleep

(Chorus)
(Repeat)


Some people say for every bit of heartache
That you give, you get back in return
I know that someday you'll be sorry
Think of me baby, when you've learned

(Chorus)
(Repeat to fade)



Rise Above it All
(Goudreau/Delp)


I know your mind is made up
You've convinced yourself
You think there's nothing else for you to say
So you lay it on a shelf

But when there's no one else to turn to
You will hear a voice
And you will answer to your inner sense
For you have no other choice

'Cause when your heart says you're right
Then you must listen

Chorus:
If we can rise above it all
If we can set aside our differences and watch them fall
If we just head for the light
Then maybe we can set it right


I know your heart is breaking
There's so much to face
You wish that everything was different
But you know it's not the case

And although your faith is shaken
There's an inner voice
That says to try and make the best of things
And to rise above the noise

And when your heart says you're right
Then you should listen

(Chorus)

I know your mind is made up
You've convinced yourself
You think there's nothing else that you to say
So you lay it on a shelf

But when there's no one else to turn to
You will hear a voice
And you will answer to your inner sense
For you have no other choice

'Cause when your heart says you're right
Then you must listen

(Chorus)
(Repeat)



Social Disease
(Goudreau/Delp)

Turn on the tube
Time to get your fix
Body keep you buzzing
At the appropriate mix

Sex, drugs and money
With a little dose
Of anything perverted
Not excluding the host

(Oh) What's amazing to me
Is how you sit and stare at all the shit that you see
(Oh) They really dig up the dirt
I hope you got your money's worth

Chorus:
Seems to me
It's like you've got a social disease
Just sit back, turn on the trash TV
Time to see what you're missin'

It's all crime and sex
Every one is worse than the next
All designed to keep you craving your next
I'm trying to see what you're missin'


And all the strippers, they've got plenty of lows
Next, a bunch of guys dressed in high heels and hose
Incest, skinheads, anything goes
You should've seen the host when they busted his nose

(Oh) What's amazing to me
Is how you sit and stare at all the shit that you see
(Oh) They really dig up the dirt
I hope you got your money's worth

(Chorus)

Here's what you're missin'

Seems to me
It's like you've got a social disease
Just sit back, turn on the trash TV
I'm dying to see what you're missin'

It's all crime and sex
Every one is worse than the next
All designed to keep you craving your next
I'm trying to see what you're missin'


Oh, it's like a social disease

(repeat)


I'm on a Roll
(Goudreau/Delp)


I'm sorry for the other night
I never meant to cause you pain
I didn't want to start a fight
There's something a loving pain

I've had enough of the world as it is
There's too many people want to break my heart
I ain't gonna take it
I'm making a brand new start

I'm sorry if I made you cry
I didn't mean to step on your toes
If everybody's got their pride
I wouldn't want to alter yours

I've had enough of the world outside
There's too many people trying to run my life
I ain't gonna take it
I'm kissing them all goodbye

Chorus:
And I'm on a roll
It's all about having a good thing
I'm in control
Ain't nobody pulling my heart strings

I'm on a roll
It's all about having a good thing
I'm in control

If you can't take it, let me make it plain
When you don't like the ride
Then get off the train


I'm sorry for the other night
I never meant to cause you pain
I didn't want to start a fight
There's something a loving pain

I've had enough of the world outside
There's too many people trying to run my life
I ain't gonna take it
I'm kissing them all goodbye

(Chorus)


Rock the Night
(Goudreau/Delp)


You work all day
Or you go to school
There's nothing you can say
You live by the rule

But all you really want
Is just a little time

To say what you feel
And do what you will
Isn't it such a crime

Chorus:
They rule the day
But we rock the night
We're just on the way
So let's rock the night

Tonight


It's not up to me
It's not up to you
That's just the way it is
What'cha gonna do?

Just take what you're given
It's only a living
Just hang on until tonight

(Chorus)

They rule the day
But we rock the night
We're just on the way
So let's rock the night


Too much to dig in
Too many are waiting
Too much distraction
Too little action

It's not up to you
It's not up to me
That's just the way it is
And how it's gonna be

To say what you feel
And do what you will
We're making up for lost time

They can have the day
'Cause we rock the night
We're just on the way
So let's rock the night

Tonight

They rule the day (they can have the day)
We rock the night
We're just on the way
So let's rock the night

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight



Winners and Losers
(Maes/Delp)

Jackie is a world leader
Makes money just by using her head
And Suzy is a crowd pleaser
Gets hers jumping in and out of bed

Danny is a big wheeler
He could toss another round
And Joey is a drug dealer
Well he's got his ups and downs

Christian, heathen
What are these words?
Saints and sinners
All in the world

Freedom, treason
Questions of Man
Trace of reason
where is it found?


It's not what you think of it
It's what you can make of it
Trying to find a hole in the system
Jackie's looking for something she can overtake

Suzy's looking for a man with self control
And Danny's busy making promises
No one listens to a word that he says
And Joey wants to let the good times roll

Winners, losers
W hat is the game?
Victims, villians
One in the same

Pressure, more than
They care about
Voice of reason
Where is it now?

Christian, heathen
What are these words?
Saints and sinners
All in the world

Freedom, treason
Questions of Man
Trace of reason
Where is it found?


It's not what you think of it
It's what you can make of it

Jackie's in it all for the money
Danny's looking for a company car
You can gain the world and lose your soul

And for Suzanne, nobody ever gave the kid a hand
Word's out that a bust is going down
Joey's heading for the ground


Power of Love
(Maes/Delp/Stefanelli)

I've been offered a job out west
I think I'm gonna go 'cause it's one that I do best
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
A chance to ease my pain

How it happens, who can say
I don't want to leave, but I know that I can't stay
Something's missing, and one thing's plain
I'm losing at love again

Losing again

Chorus:
The power of love
Can make you believe or lead you astray
The power of love
Can give you the world or take it away


I've been living in the past
For one love that I thought was mine at last
Then I stumbled, losing all
Breaking my heart in the fall

How it happened, who can tell
Some people you can never know too well
Now it's over and one thing's plain
I'm fooling myself again

Fooling again

(Chorus)

Change of seasons, change of heart
A sentimental reason to look before we start
Give it up and bring 'em down
Spreading the blame around

All around

(Chorus)

The power of love
(Repeat to fade)


Show Me
(Maes)


Here we are, both of us waiting
It's time to make a move
Get on the floor let's get shaking
I'm dying to turn you loose

Show me girl you've got somethin'
To keep me in the mood
And rock steady all the way
Until tonight is yesterday

Put another coin in the jukebox
Play another tune
Show me girl
I've got something that makes you want to move

We can shake the night away
Until tonight is yesterday
Listen to me when I say

Chorus:
Show me, baby
Show me that you can rock
Cut loose, darling
Can you?


Keep the beat, don't stop dancin'
Keep the music loud
There's a time and place for romancin'
It's not here in this crowd

Come with me, let's run away
Until tonight is yesterday
Listen to me when I say

Show me, baby
Show me that you can rock
Cut loose, darling
Can you show me the way to your heart

Show me, baby Show me that you can rock
Cut loose, darling
Can you show me the way to your heart
Show me, baby Show me the way to you heart


Show me the way to you heart
Oh, won't you show me (show me)

Give it up


Better and Better
(Maes/Delp)

Love should be more than just kissing
Playing a game, that's how it was to me

Now I know just what I was missing
With eyes open wide, I can finally see

Chorus:
Now I've got a real love
That I never dreamed of
Ever since the day I met her

She's given me a new light
Everything is so right
And it just keeps getting better


Time was, I was just a lost cause
Drifting at sea, I was in desperate need

Then she came, into my life and things changed
Now I can see what love was meant to be

(Chorus)

I love what she does I need her so much
And it's more than I can say

And when we're apart I know in my hear
That my love is growing stronger everyday

When she came into my life, oh, things changed
Now I can see what love was meant to be

Now I've got a real love
That I never dreamed of
Ever since the day I met her

She's given me a new light
Everything is so right
And it just keeps getting better and better

She's given me a new light
Everything is so right
And it just keeps getting better and better and better


Oh yeah


Return to Zero (Live)
(Maes/Goudreau/Delp)

Before it gets too far
It's time to look at where we are
We're miles out to sea from where we ought to be
Ooo it's a shame
Violence comes too easily
They're dyin' in the streets
Now it seems it's up to you and me

Chorus:
This is no time for heroes
We've got to get back
Return To Zero

Love is what we need
Love and understanding
Love is what we need

We've got to come down hard

Times being what they are
There's barely room to breathe
Even in our own back yards
Ooo it's a sin
The time will come when no one wins
Hate is a disease
And it's catchin' up to you and me

(Chorus)

Love is what we need

Love and understanding
Love is what we need
To get back on our feet
