The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

I know you don't love me and you often say
You'd be better off without me in your way
Although you don't love me and it may be true
It's my life and you can't stop me loving you
It's my life, I must LIVE Iit 'cause I'm living my life for you, just you
It's my heart, I can give it and I'm giving my heart to you, just you
Some day you may need me and perhaps you'll see
That life can be very lonely when you're free
You may find you've lost me, you'll be on your own
You may find out how you need me when I'm gone
It's your life you must live it, just as I once lived mine for you, just you
It's your heart you may give it when I have nothing left for you

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't LIVE
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
No, no, no, no, I can't live
(No, can't live)
If living is without you (no, I can't live)
I can't live
I can't give anymore
Can't live (no, can't live)
(No, I can't live)

It's you you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live
Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had

You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round
Still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river
Now get this...
London calling, yes, I was there too
And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling...
I never felt so much alike alike alike alike...

Stars live in the evening
But the very young need the sun, uh-huh
Pretty baby, you look so heavenly
A neo-nebular from under the sun
I was forming, some say I had my chance
The boys were falling like an avalanche
Ya ya baby
La Dolce Vita is a magic dance
No-one was listening
Pretty baby, un petite ingenue
A teenage starlet, I fell in love with you
You, you with the comb
You look OK in every way (every way)
Ah, I should have known
You'd look at me and look away (and look away - oh)
Pretty baby, you look so heavenly
A neo-nebular from under the sun
Eyes that tell me incense and peppermints
Your looks are larger than life, long live innocence
Petite ingenue, I fell in love with you
Pretty baby, I fell in love with you, whoah oh
Pretty baby, oh oh
Pretty baby, whoah oh, I fell in love with you

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could LIVE
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

LIVE, baby, LIVE
Now that the day is over
I got a new sensation
In perfect moments
That's impossible to refuse
Sleep, baby, sleep
Now that the night is over
And the sun comes
Like a god into our room
All perfect light and promises
Got a hold on you
A new sensation, a new sensation
Right now, it's gonna take you over
A new sensation, a new sensation
Dream, baby, dream
Of all that's come and going
And you will find out in the end
There really is
There really is no difference
Hah…
Cry, baby, cry
When you got to get it out
I'll be your shoulder
You can tell me all
Don't keep it in ya
Well, that's the reason why I'm here
Hey, hey
Are you ready for (a new sensation, a new sensation)
Right now?
Gonna take you over (a new sensation, a new sensation)
Trumpet!
(New sensation, new sensation)
(A new sensation)
Hate, baby, hate
When there's nothing left for you
You're only human, what can you do?
It'll soon be over
Don't let your pain take over you
Love, baby, love
It's written all over your face
There's nothing better we could do
Than LIVE forever
Well, that's all we've got to do
Hey now, I'm gonna take you over (a new sensation, new sensation)
Right now
Got a hold on you
A new sensation, new sensation
A new sensation, a new sensation
A new sensation
AC/DC
Well, if you're lookin' for trouble
I'm the man to see
If you're lookin' for satisfaction
I'm satisfaction guaranteed
I'm as cool as a body on ice
Hotter than the rollin' dice
Send you to Heaven, take you to Hell
I ain't foolin', can't you tell?
I'm a live wire
I'm a live wire
I'm a live wire
Gonna set this town on fire
And if you need some lovin'
And if you need some man
You've got the phone and the number
And I got no future plans
Oh, come on, honey, you got nothin' to lose
You got the thirst and I got the booze
Give you an inch, take you a mile
I wanna make you fry
I'm a live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
Holy smoke and sweet desire
Like a hot rod, baby
Oh, stick this in your fuse box
Ah, cooler than a body on ice
Hotter than the rollin' dice
Wilder than a drunken fight
You're gonna burn tonight
I'm a live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
And I'm gonna set this town on fire
Live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
Well, I'm your live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
Look at me burn
Ow, look at me
Meltin'
Short my circuit
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't wanna leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask, "Can we stay?"
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets?
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask, "Can we stay?"
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
So let's go there (Let's go there)
Let's go there (Let's go there)
Come on, let's go there (Go, go there)
Let's ask, "Can we stay?"
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high, I'm strong enough to take these dreams and make them mine
Set up high, I'm strong enough to take these dreams and make them mine
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets?
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets?
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us LIVE forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad men
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to LIVE forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to LIVE forever? Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to LIVE forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to LIVE forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to LIVE forever?

Well I'm a-running down the road trying to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
Open up I'm climbin' in to take it easy
Well I'm a-running down the road trying to loosen my load

Young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing, this girl's an open page
Bookmarking, she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so EASY to be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration so bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting his car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom to hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom the accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her he starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov
Don't stand, don't stand so

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
'Cause I got a peaceful EASY feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing on the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Oh, but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go
And I got a peaceful EASY feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing on the ground
I get this feeling I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
'Cause I get a peaceful EASY feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing
I'm already standing
Yes, I'm already standing on the ground

'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden
In the shade
He'd let us in
Knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden
In the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden
In the shade
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the seabed
In an octopus's garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
Because we know, we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden
In the shade
Great
Great
Great that
Beautiful
Sensational
Fab
Isn't that great?
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves (lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh, what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy, and they're SAFE (happy, and they're safe)
We would be so happy, you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you

They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around
I can't wash you off my skin
Outside the frame is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway
I can go with the flow
Don't say it doesn't matter (With the flow)
Matter anymore

Do you believe it in your head?
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
Something sweet to throw away
I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live
I want a new mistake
Lose is more than hesitate

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky (Sky)
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry
Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm, SAFE place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Ooh, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine
Oh yeah! Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Ooh-oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine, ooh yeah
Ooh! Sweet love of mine

I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
Running all over like a jumping bean
Take a look at that thing in the tight-assed jeans
Coming your way now, you may be in luck
Don't you fret boy, she's ready to buck
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City
I feel safe in New York City

I feel safe in New York City

Let it rip
New York

I feel safe in a cage in New York City
Throw away the key

Oops, Monday, October 12
Quite some time, I been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances
I was a pris'ner of doubt.
I knocked down the wailin' wall
Ain't no sin
Got the feel of fortune; deal me in
Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind.
Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you.
Now I know I got to play my hand
What the winner don't know, a gambler understands
My heart keeps playin' it through
with you, my friend
I'll take my chances on you again and again
Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind
Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you
I could start dreamin' but it never ends
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreamin'
STRAIGHT from the heart
You say it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Comin' STRAIGHT from the heart
Give it to me STRAIGHT from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's comin' STRAIGHT from the heart
I'll see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall out of line
While we're dreamin'
STRAIGHT from the heart
Give it to me STRAIGHT from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming STRAIGHT from the heart
Don't ever leave me darling
STRAIGHT from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
You give it to me now STRAIGHT from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming STRAIGHT from the heart
Give it to me oh no oh no STRAIGHT from the heart
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming STRAIGHT from the heart

Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it STRAIGHT, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So, I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long

Love letters STRAIGHT from your heart
They keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
I memorized every line

Some velvet mornin' when I'm STRAIGHT
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it end
Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
Flowers growing on a hill, dragonflies and daffodils
Learn from us very much, look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it end
Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
Flowers are the things we know, secrets are the things we grow
Learn from us very much, look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
Some velvet mornin' when I'm straight
Flowers growing on a hill
I'm gonna open up your gate
dragonflies and daffodils
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
Learn from us very much
And how she gave me life
look at us but do not touch
And how she made it end

White houses in neat little rows,
Contrasting against the sky.
Tumble down black shacks over the tracks,
Children so hungry they could cry.
The chrome the steel, the metal dream,
Leaving the teeth which will rot.
The escapist young mind left behind,
Saving dimes for community pot.
Better get STRAIGHT
You better, you better get STRAIGHT, babe
I feel, you better get STRAIGHT right now
You better get it
You better, you better get STRAIGHT baby
They're crying out for love all the time,
But they fail to see the neighbors eyes.
The TV is on the six o'clock news,
And the channels are full color lies.
Company meets, the president speaks,
He's young but his bones creak.
Young girl dresses for the high school dance
And the guy next door is dying for a peek.
Get STRAIGHT, you better
Yeah you better get STRAIGHT, baby
Oh, did you get what I say?
I say it to you
That you, you better,
You better get it, babe
You better, you better get STRAIGHT, yeah
Before it's too late
They put the Bible in the drawer of the motel room,
And its crying out to be read.
But is stays right there collecting dust,
No one understands what's being said.
Lovers make love in concrete boxes,
What will tomorrow bring?
They've been told that its wrong but they don't give a damn,
Soon another life it will bring
You better get STRAIGHT baby
Yeah, You
You better get STRAIGHT baby
Oh and I think I'd better get myself together too, babe
You know what I mean?
I've been angry so very long
I want to fly right here
I want to do it all right
I want to get it get it baby
You better get it, you better get it
You better get STRAIGHT right now
Because I've been told
And I'm telling you baby
Pass it on
It's really good advice
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night (Woo-ooh)
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room (Woo-ooh)
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
Ah, oh ah ah (Waahaa)
Ah, oh ah ah (Waahaa)
Ah, oh ah ah
Ah, oh ah ah (Waahaa)
Ah, oh ah ah (Waahaa)
Ah, oh ah ah
Well, I know you want a lover, let me tell you brother
She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
And there's some rumors going 'round, someone's underground
She can rock you in the night time 'til your skin turns red
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

I heard you calling
On the megaphone
You wanna see me all alone
As legend has it you
Are quite the pyro
You light the match to watch it blow
And if you'd never come for me
I might've drowned in the melancholy
I swore my loyalty to me, myself and I
Right before you lit my sky up
All that time
I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all (see it all)
Late one NIGHT
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia
Keep it one hundred
On the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands
Your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you been
'Cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night
You've been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
The eldest daughter of a nobleman
Ophelia lived in fantasy
But love was a cold bed full of scorpions
The venom stole her sanity
And if you'd never come for me
I might've lingered in purgatory
You wrap around me like a chain, a crown, a vine
Pulling me into the fire
All that time
I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all (see it all)
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia
Keep it one hundred
On the land, the sea, the sky
Pledge allegiance to your hands
Your team, your vibes
Don't care where the hell you been
'Cause now you're mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless night
You've been dreaming of
The fate of Ophelia
'Tis locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
Locked inside my memory
And only you possess the key
No longer drowning and deceived
All because you came for me
All that time
I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all (I can see it all)
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of
Ophelia
Keep it one hundred

It's 'bout to be the sleepless night

Oh, what a NIGHT
Late December back in sixty three
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night, you know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I, I got a funny feelin' when she walked in the room
And my, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night, hypnotizin' mesmerizing me
She was ev'rything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night
I felt a rush like a rollin' ball of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and takin' my body under
Oh, what a night
Oh, I, I got a funny feelin' when she walked in the room
And my, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh, what a night
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night
Oh I felt a rush like a rollin' ball of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and takin' my body under
Oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night

One NIGHT with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Just call my name
And I'll be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My loves too strong to hide
Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true
Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long
One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
Of things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now,
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now,
Can't touch you now, can't touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers ...
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers ...
Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers ...
She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come, but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching, and we were making it
And you shook me all NIGHT long
Yeah, you shook me all NIGHT long
Working double-time on the seduction line
She's one of a kind, she's just a-mine all mine
Wanted no applause, just another course
Made a meal outta me, and come back for more
Had to cool me down to take another round
Now, I'm back in the ring to take another swing
That the walls were shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching, and we were making it
And you shook me all NIGHT long
Yeah, you shook me all NIGHT long
It knocked me out that
You shook me all NIGHT long
It had me shaking
And you shook me all NIGHT long
Yeah, you shook me
Well, you took me
You really took me and
You shook me all NIGHT long
Ah, you shook me all NIGHT long
Yeah, yeah, you shook me all NIGHT long
You really got me and you, shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me
Yeah, you shook me
All NIGHT long
I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds
Tight pants, points, hardly renowned
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own, sittin' way up high
Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime, mm
In the sweet summertime
(Ooh) We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
(Ooh, hoo, hoo) We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
(Ooh) We were just young and restless and bored
(Ooh, hoo, hoo) Living by the sword
(Ooh) And we'd steal away every chance we could
(Ooh, hoo, hoo) To the backroom, to the alley, or the trusty woods
(Ooh) I used her, she used me, but neither one cared
(Ooh, hoo, hoo) We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues (Woo, hoo, hoo)
Workin' on our night moves
Mm, and it was summertime
Mm, sweet summertime, summertime
Oh, the wonder
Felt the lightning, yeah
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I woke last night to the sound of thunder
"How far off?" I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves?
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closin' in
Mm, night moves, mm
(Night moves) Night moves
(Night moves) Yeah
(Night moves) Remember
(Night moves) Ah, sure remember the night moves
(Night moves) Ain't it funny how you remember?
(Night moves) Funny how you remember
(Night moves) I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember
(Night moves) Oh, oh, oh
(Night moves) We were working, working, and practicing
(Night moves) Working and practicing
(Night moves) Oh, for the night moves, night moves
(Night moves) Oh
(Night moves) I remember, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Night moves) I remember, ooh
(Night moves) I remember, Lord, I remember
(Night moves) Lord, I remember, huh, huh
Ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I remember, I remember
