Let's Go
Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr she's driving away with the dim lights on and she's making a play she can't go wrong she never waits too long she's winding them down on her clock machine and she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen she's a frozen fire she's my one desire and i don't want to hold her down don't want to break her crown when she says, let's go i like the nightlife baby she says, let's go she's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse she's so beautiful now she doesn't wear her shoes she doesn't like to choose she's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth and when i ask her before she said she's holding out she's a frozen fire she's my one desire
Since I Held You
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek i really love the way you talk i don't mind saying so oo i love it when you dance so silky slow, baby please don't go i know you refuse to get involved you won't help me out none you run around like a paperdoll pretending it's fun, baby please don't run something in the night just don't sit right looks like i'm going to be up all night it's been such a long time since i held you i won't forget the way you said it doesn't bother you much tutor impressions in your head just before the last touch that meant so much
It's All I Can Do
Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr one too many times i fell over you once in a shadow i finally grew and once in a night i dreamed you were there i cancelled my flight from going nowhere it's all i can do to keep waiting for you it's all i can do one too many times i twisted the gate when i was crazy i thought you were great i kept my renditions of you on the wall where holiday romance is nothing at all you wait in the wing like a saturday flirt protecting the judge you don't want to get hurt once in a moment it all comes to you as soon as you get it you want something new
Double Life
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek it takes a fast car lady to lead a double life it takes a slow star lady if you want to do it twice you take your backseat rumble take your frontseat wife it takes a fast car lady to lead a double life it takes a light foot lady to lead a double life it takes a good book maybe if you want to do it nice when you idle at the stop light you better get the signal right light foot lady, you lead a double life lift me from the wondermaze alienation is the craze and it's all gonna happen to you and you think it's a phase and it's all gonna happen to you when you drive in a haze it takes a freeway lady to lead a double life it takes some leeway lady if you want to do it twice neon blinking on the street everyone is bittersweet freeway lady, you lead a double life
Shoo Be Doo

Nightspots
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek could be you're crossing the fine line a silly driver kinda, off the wall you keep it cool when it's t-t-tight eyes wide open when you start to fall you go dancing in the dim lit club some pressure cooker crawls up on his knees flashing sensation like a one on one stomping around in the jitterbug breeze oo how you shake me up and down when we hit the nightspots on the town it's all behind you when you do catch on you keep your lovers in a penny jar a real romantic with a sultry stare you keep messing with your blonde long hair it's just an automatic line
You Can't Hold On Too Long
Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr i can't put out your fire i know it's too late i can't be up for hire it's not my best trait the gallow glass is cracking it's starting to smash how can you cry without blinking a lash you're feeling cross and wavy on the edge of the cuff you're pushing and popping you can't get enough you wish that it was over you never slow down you're looking for kicks there's nothing around you can't hold on too long it's alright you can't hold on too long it's alright you're surrounded by the laughing boys they puncture your style they send for their bandanas you try for their smile you'd like to come in colors you don't know which one you can't be too choosy it's just for fun
Lust For Kicks
