1. "Hot Blooded"
(L. Gramm / M. Jones)

Well I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded

You don't have to read my mind
To know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine
Let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you're doin' after the show

Now it's up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, I'll show you lovin' like you never knew

That's why I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, hot blooded

If it feels alright
Maybe you can stay all night
Shall I leave you my key?
But you've got to give me the sign
Come on girl, some kind of sign
Tell me, are you hot mama? You sure look that way to me

Are you old enough? Will you be ready when I call you bluff?
Is my timing right? Did you save your love for me tonight?

Yeah I'm hot blooded, check it and see
Feel the fever burning inside of me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded, I'm hot

Now it's up to you, can we make a secret rendezvous?
Woah, before we do, you'll have to get away from you know who

Well I'm hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded

Hot blooded, every night
Hot blooded, you're looking so tight
Hot blooded, now you're driving me wild
Hot blooded, I'm so hot for you child
Hot blooded, I'm a little bit high
Hot blooded, you're a little bit shy
Hot blooded, you're making me sing
Hot blooded, for your (hot blooded) sweet sweet thing
Did you hear what I said?

2. "Blue Morning, Blue Day"
(L. Gramm / M. Jones)

Out in the street, it's six am
Another sleepless night
Three cups of coffee but I can't clear my head
From what went down last night
No we won't have our own little ways
But somehow we keep it together
You hear me talk but you don't hear what I say
I guess it don't even matter

Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way?
Blue morning, can't you see what your love has done to me?

I've always listened to your point of view
My ways are cut through men
And I've always been a patient man
But my patience has reached its end
You tell me you're leaving, you tell me goodbye
You say you might send a letter
Well honey don't telephone, cause I won't be alone
I need someone to make me feel better

Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way?
Blue morning, can't you see what your love has done to me?

Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way?
Blue morning, can't you see what your love has done to me?

Blue morning, blue morning
Blue morning, blue morning
Blue morning, blue morning
Blue, blue, blue day, yeah

3. "You're All I Am"
(M. Jones)

I never knew a man would be so lonely
The life of a treated man so wrong
But when the odds were all against me
You gave me the strength to carry on

You gave me a new start
So I will give you my heart

You, you are my life, you're all I am
Only you can understand the way I am

You never give me enough of your love
I need more and more each day
Honey can't you see? The only thing I can be sure of
Is that something real has come my way

Woah, so I believe my heart
Though sometimes it tears me apart

You, you are my life, you're all I am
Baby it's you, you are my life, you're all I am
Only you can understand the way I am

You know I live my life for you

You are my life, you're all I am
Ooh baby it's true, you are my life, you're all I am
Only you can understand the way I am

4. "Back Where You Belong"
(M. Jones)

I felt so sure of the love that we shared
There was no reason on earth to be scared
Then I heard the rumor, it started to grow
Slowly but surely, the truth began to show

Then I started wonderin'
As I picked up the phone
And a man started askin'
If you were at home

You treat me like a fool, but you're so wrong
I'm gonna send you back where you belong
I put my trust in you, but I was wrong
I'm gonna send you back where you belong

You treat me like a fool, but you're so wrong
I'm gonna send you back where you belong

I never had any doubt in my mind
Now you have shown me, love can make you blind

Back where you belong
Belong, belong, belong, belong, belong
Back where you belong

Back where you belong
Belong, belong, belong, belong, belong
Back where you belong

Back where you belong
Belong, belong, belong, belong, belong
Back where you belong

Back where you belong
Belong, belong, belong, belong, belong
Back where you belong

Back where you belong
Belong, belong, belong, belong, belong
Back where you belong

Back where you belong
Belong, belong, belong, belong, belong
Back where you belong

5. "Love Has Taken Its Toll"
(L. Gramm / I. McDonald)

Some girls you meet, seem so complete
Like they don't need nothin' from you
They're out to show you, they don't want to know you
When deep inside they do

Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else
She was alone, thought I'd give it a try
I was a young bull stompin' in the field
I saw red when she walked by

Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, (love has) taken its toll, oh yeah

I had to think fast, I watched her walk past
I knew I would have my way
So I swaggered up, I mean I staggered up
But I didn't have a damn thing to say

Now, two handed strategy always works well for me
So I slipped my hands around her waist
I swore it was the right move, feelin' so smooth
'Till she backhanded me 'cross my face

Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, (love has) taken its toll, oh yeah

To make a long story short, she finally got caught
I had to tell her "enough is enough"
She said "you're just what I needed", and boy
She nearly pleaded with me not to be too rough

Love has taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, (love has) taken its toll, oh yeah

Love has taken, taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, (love has) taken its toll, oh yeah

Love has taken, (love has) taken its toll, love has
Love has taken, (love has) taken its toll, oh yeah

6. "Double Vision"
(L. Gramm / M. Jones)

Feeling down 'n' dirty, feeling kinda mean
I've been from one to another extreme
This time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait
I wanna stick around 'till I can't see straight

Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me

Never do more than I, I really need
My mind is racing, but my body's in the lead
Tonight's the night, I'm gonna push it to the limit
I live all of my years in a single minute

Fill my eyes with that double vision
No disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision always seems to get the best of me, the best of me, yeah-eah eah-eah-hey

Ooh-ooh (oooh) ooh-ooh, double vision
(Oooh) I need double vision
(Oooh, double vision) it takes me out of my head, takin' me out of my head
(Oooh, double vision) I get my double vision, woa-oah
(Oooh, double vision) seeing double double, double vision
(Oooh, double vision) oh-oh my my double vision
(Oooh, double vision) double vision, yeah-ah-ah eah-eah eah-eah ah
(Oooh, double vision) I get double vision, oooh
How, how?

8. "I Have Waited So Long"
(M. Jones)

I have waited oh so long
Please don't tell me baby I was wrong
Dreaming of you (oooooh) every night
(Oooooh) holding back until the time was right

I've counted the days, day after day, oooh-oooh
Since we've been apart, oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh
Now I've found my way, I've found my way, oooh-oooh
Right back to your heart, oooh-oooh oooh

I've been searching for you every where
Calling you but you were never there
Seeking in the dark of night
Hoping one day you would shine a light

I've counted each day, day after day, oooh-oooh
Since we've been apart, oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh
Now I've found my way, I've found my way, oooh-oooh
Right back to your heart, oooh-oooh oooh

I have waited oh so long
Please don't tell me baby I was wrong
Dreaming of you every night, every night, every night
Holding back until the time was right

Oooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, I have waited so long
Aaah-aah-aah aah-aah, don't tell me I was wrong

I dream of you, I'm dreaming of you baby

Don't go away

9. "Lonely Children"
(M. Jones)

You go where the wind blows, leading the life you chose
Your destination remains unknown
No one to help you, nobody cares about you
You're looking for someplace you can call home

Lonely children on the run
Lonely children need soneone

Too many questions, you need to answer to them
Your information is so incomplete
You seek directions, you would be lost without them
Don't let them find you lying in the street

Lonely children on the run
Lonely children, lonely, need someone

Someone to talk to
Someone who cares
Someone who listens
Is anyone there?

They may destest you, someday they may arrest you
They stop at nothing to hold you down
You need to be free, but will they ever let you?
They won't be happy 'till you leave town

Lonely children on the run, run on the run
Lonely children need someone, need someone
Lonely children in the night, can't you see them fuming?
Lonely children need a guiding light, and don't forget
Lonely children are alone
Lonely children have no home
Lonely children on the run
Hope someday there'll be someone
Lonely, lonely children

10. "Spellbinder"
(L. Gramm / M. Jones)

I found out the hard way, some things you just can't get
When I fell in love with a woman I wish I never met
I was in the wrong place, at the wrong time
I fell easy prey to an innocent way, I was so blind

I call out her name, I turn around to find her
She's a spellbinder

I've never been an easy man, so hard to please
But she made me feel life was unreal, oh Lord how she satisfied me
I tried to break away, but I didn't stand a chance
She planned it so well, I was under her spell, I was in a trance

I call out her name, I turn around to find her
She's a spellbinder

Now do you know what love can do?
Oh no, what she puts me through?
It took so long for me to find her
Now she won't set me free
She's a spellbinder

Now do you know what love can do?
Oh no, what she put me through?
You say you can't believe, believe that it's true
Let the spellbinder put a spell on you
