You got a lot to learn
You play in the fire...you might get burned
You gotta sacrifice
You're playin' the victim of your own device
You try to understand
The comb-in-the-ashes isn't what you planned
You...it gets you every time
You're chasin' the visions--they're nowhere to find
Learn how to give...learn how to take
Learn how to live before it's too late
You got the restless eyes
They turn to distraction--there's no compromise
You gotta take some time
And fight for the answers--they're hard to find
You..now don'tcha fantasize
Start makin' your chances materialize
Learn how to bend...learn how to break
Learn how to mend broken heartaches
Learn to forgive...learn how to wait
Learn how to live before it's too late
Run from the light, and you lock all your doors
It's harder to fight when you've gone down before
The scene's 're so right--but they play out so wrong
So into the night it goes on and on and on and on and on
In Your Eyes Lyrics – Billy Squier
Never was a man to make a name on promises
Never felt the urge to stake a claim
'Till I looked in your eyes...I've never really known
(In your eyes)the meanin' of it all
In your eyes I answer to the call
I been taken by the magic after all
Walkin' in the shadow of the names...relationships gone by
Thinkin' 'bout the plot that never changed
'Till I looked in your eyes...I've never really known
In your eyes, your thoughts I call my own
See your eyes shine on me as we go
So they lead me as we're windin' down the road
We can make it so fine
Take it time after time
Make it open wide
We go side by side
Always felt the loser, outa place...good luck would pass me by
Never knew the meanin' to the chase
'Till I looked in your eyes...I've lost but now I know
In your eyes I've found my chaperone
Special eyes--they touch the afterglow
They can make me see the logic of it all
We can make it so fine
Never felt the urge to stake a claim
'Till I looked in your eyes...I've never really known
(In your eyes)the meanin' of it all
In your eyes I answer to the call
I been taken by the magic after all
Walkin' in the shadow of the names...relationships gone by
Thinkin' 'bout the plot that never changed
'Till I looked in your eyes...I've never really known
In your eyes, your thoughts I call my own
See your eyes shine on me as we go
So they lead me as we're windin' down the road
We can make it so fine
Take it time after time
Make it open wide
We go side by side
Always felt the loser, outa place...good luck would pass me by
Never knew the meanin' to the chase
'Till I looked in your eyes...I've lost but now I know
In your eyes I've found my chaperone
Special eyes--they touch the afterglow
They can make me see the logic of it all
We can make it so fine
Keep Me Satisfied Lyrics – Billy Squier
Early in the mornin' I'm layin' on my bed
Stickin' to the rhythm of the music in my head
Rockin' in the mirror...rollin' out the door
Hop into the car and put the pedal to the floor
Callin' out your number--I'll take you for a ride
Find something to keep me satisfied
Runnin' for the money...layin' out the green
It's a tax accountant's nightmare--it's a rock 'n roll dream
The income may be different but the outcome's still the same
You'll never be a winner boy until you play the game
Hounded to distraction...racin' to and fro
Losin' my direction keepin' up my status quo
Now I tried - tried - tried - tried
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied
A hundred-thousand miles in a 747
Take it all in style if you wanna get to heaven
Chasin' all the action every single night
Never understand it but you try to do it right
Ragged 'round the edges...none the worse for wear
Cuttin' all the corners but they never get me there
Now I try - try - try - try
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied
Stickin' to the rhythm of the music in my head
Rockin' in the mirror...rollin' out the door
Hop into the car and put the pedal to the floor
Callin' out your number--I'll take you for a ride
Find something to keep me satisfied
Runnin' for the money...layin' out the green
It's a tax accountant's nightmare--it's a rock 'n roll dream
The income may be different but the outcome's still the same
You'll never be a winner boy until you play the game
Hounded to distraction...racin' to and fro
Losin' my direction keepin' up my status quo
Now I tried - tried - tried - tried
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied
A hundred-thousand miles in a 747
Take it all in style if you wanna get to heaven
Chasin' all the action every single night
Never understand it but you try to do it right
Ragged 'round the edges...none the worse for wear
Cuttin' all the corners but they never get me there
Now I try - try - try - try
It just don't seem to keep me satisfied
It Keeps You Rockin' Lyrics – Billy Squier
When the lights blow and anything goes and nobody knows
When the sparks fly from in your eye and you don't know why
In a tight squeeze, you're on your knees--you're into the freeze
Then the right sound can bring you 'round--put your right side down
It keeps you rockin'
On a hot night you feel all right--you're wound up tight
On the next day you over-play--wanna fade away
In a cold rain, your love in vain--make you go insane
Bring you right down and turn you 'round--gotta hear that sound
It keeps you rockin'
Take this fight, wherever it takes you
Wrong or right, don't let it shake you
Fight the fight, whatever it makes you
That's all right--I know you can break through
In the right crowd you act so loud--got your head in the clouds
It's a far cry from days gone by...it ain't no lie
Out the back door...you make the score...you come back for more
Find the right son--it won't be wrong--you can sing along
It keeps you rockin'
When the sparks fly from in your eye and you don't know why
In a tight squeeze, you're on your knees--you're into the freeze
Then the right sound can bring you 'round--put your right side down
It keeps you rockin'
On a hot night you feel all right--you're wound up tight
On the next day you over-play--wanna fade away
In a cold rain, your love in vain--make you go insane
Bring you right down and turn you 'round--gotta hear that sound
It keeps you rockin'
Take this fight, wherever it takes you
Wrong or right, don't let it shake you
Fight the fight, whatever it makes you
That's all right--I know you can break through
In the right crowd you act so loud--got your head in the clouds
It's a far cry from days gone by...it ain't no lie
Out the back door...you make the score...you come back for more
Find the right son--it won't be wrong--you can sing along
It keeps you rockin'
One Good Woman Lyrics – Billy Squier
I been a traveller for more than too few years
I learned my lessons...I stilled my fears
My sole possessions--they steer me through it all
Sweet dreams and innocence--the cushion my falls
Feel the passion run you blind
See the vision dancin' in my mind
One good woman, who's all of what she seems
One good woman to share my dreams
One good woman--put all the games aside
One good woman--make the most of our lives
We live a life of fact and fantasy
We alter circumstance to fit our needs
We gain in fortune, but we lose in time
One door will open and one will close behind
Find the loner from the pack
Storm the mansions--I ain't never turnin' back
One good woman...she's all I hope to find
One good woman--think of me in kind
One good woman..she won't get me down
One good woman--turn my head around
Keepin' her distance..but oh she don't let go
One good woman...she makes it so
Over the air-waves, or across the sea
One good woman...she's more than enough for me
I learned my lessons...I stilled my fears
My sole possessions--they steer me through it all
Sweet dreams and innocence--the cushion my falls
Feel the passion run you blind
See the vision dancin' in my mind
One good woman, who's all of what she seems
One good woman to share my dreams
One good woman--put all the games aside
One good woman--make the most of our lives
We live a life of fact and fantasy
We alter circumstance to fit our needs
We gain in fortune, but we lose in time
One door will open and one will close behind
Find the loner from the pack
Storm the mansions--I ain't never turnin' back
One good woman...she's all I hope to find
One good woman--think of me in kind
One good woman..she won't get me down
One good woman--turn my head around
Keepin' her distance..but oh she don't let go
One good woman...she makes it so
Over the air-waves, or across the sea
One good woman...she's more than enough for me
She's A Runner Lyrics – Billy Squier
Take my soul to the lost-and-found
Girl she made me a hand-me-down
Never know when she'll come around or what I'll see
No resistance--it's hardly fair
Call my name, honey--I'll be there
I'll give in to you anywhere..so foolishly
I could never ever lie to you
I could never even try
I just wanna be beside you
Sweet emotion'll pass you by
Girl she left me alone to cry
I still remember how she could make love to me
You see the traces--they always show
Some may come and some may go
But one of us will never know what you see
Never wanted to rely on you
Never wanted you to try
I just wanna be beside you
She's a runner...anyone can see
She's a runner...she run all over me
She's a runner...you can't walk away
She's a runner..she can make you stay
I need to listen to my advice
The aggravation ain't worth the price
I can tell ya she won't think twice
She gonna knock down, put ya down..oo yea
She's a runner...anyone can see
She's a runner...she tore it out a me
She's a runner...watch her walk away
She's a runner...you can't make her stay
Girl she made me a hand-me-down
Never know when she'll come around or what I'll see
No resistance--it's hardly fair
Call my name, honey--I'll be there
I'll give in to you anywhere..so foolishly
I could never ever lie to you
I could never even try
I just wanna be beside you
Sweet emotion'll pass you by
Girl she left me alone to cry
I still remember how she could make love to me
You see the traces--they always show
Some may come and some may go
But one of us will never know what you see
Never wanted to rely on you
Never wanted you to try
I just wanna be beside you
She's a runner...anyone can see
She's a runner...she run all over me
She's a runner...you can't walk away
She's a runner..she can make you stay
I need to listen to my advice
The aggravation ain't worth the price
I can tell ya she won't think twice
She gonna knock down, put ya down..oo yea
She's a runner...anyone can see
She's a runner...she tore it out a me
She's a runner...watch her walk away
She's a runner...you can't make her stay
Listen To The Heartbeat Lyrics – Billy Squier
Sometimes I wonder...think I just can't stand no more
Can't seem to find myself, or what it is I'm lookin' for
People call out my name
Lately things they don't seem the same
That's when I know...I gotta make the rounds again
Find yourself in the danger-zone
Reachin' out through the under-tones
Chase the spirit you can't control
The inner notions 're takin' hold
Listen to the heartbeat
I remember those cold cold nights...we'd stay up all night long
I can remember you holdin' out...and I'd be holdin' on
You can put out my fire
You can stir up my one desire
You can make me wonder how we could ever shy away
You bet your life on that rendezvous
Close your eyes and it all comes true
Cast your fortune into the wind
Those inner notions'll pull you in
Listen to the heartbeat
Can't seem to find myself, or what it is I'm lookin' for
People call out my name
Lately things they don't seem the same
That's when I know...I gotta make the rounds again
Find yourself in the danger-zone
Reachin' out through the under-tones
Chase the spirit you can't control
The inner notions 're takin' hold
Listen to the heartbeat
I remember those cold cold nights...we'd stay up all night long
I can remember you holdin' out...and I'd be holdin' on
You can put out my fire
You can stir up my one desire
You can make me wonder how we could ever shy away
You bet your life on that rendezvous
Close your eyes and it all comes true
Cast your fortune into the wind
Those inner notions'll pull you in
Listen to the heartbeat
In The Dark Lyrics – Billy Squier
Life isn't easy from the singular side
Down in the hole, some emotions are hard to hide
It's your decision, it's a chance that you take
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break
Do you need a friend
Would you tell no lies
Would you take me in
Are you lonely in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
You never listen to the voices inside
They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide
You're never sure if the illusion is real
You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel
Can you break away
From your alibis
Can you make a play
Oh, will you meet me in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
Don'tcha need me, hey, hey
Don'tcha need me, oh yeah
Don'tcha leave me, hey, hey
Don'tcha need me, oh yeah
You take no interest, no opinion's too dear
You make the rounds, oh, you try to be so sincere
You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams
You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene
Can you face the fire
When you see me there
Can you feel the fire
Will you love me in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
Down in the hole, some emotions are hard to hide
It's your decision, it's a chance that you take
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break
Do you need a friend
Would you tell no lies
Would you take me in
Are you lonely in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
You never listen to the voices inside
They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide
You're never sure if the illusion is real
You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel
Can you break away
From your alibis
Can you make a play
Oh, will you meet me in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
Don'tcha need me, hey, hey
Don'tcha need me, oh yeah
Don'tcha leave me, hey, hey
Don'tcha need me, oh yeah
You take no interest, no opinion's too dear
You make the rounds, oh, you try to be so sincere
You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams
You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene
Can you face the fire
When you see me there
Can you feel the fire
Will you love me in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
The Stroke Lyrics – Billy Squier
Now everybody
Have you heard
If you're in the game
Then the stroke's the word
Don't take no rhythm
Don't take no style
Gotta thirst for killin'
Grab your vial and
Put your right hand out
Give a firm handshake
Talk to me about that one big break
Spread your Ear Pollution
Both far and wide
Keep your contributions
By your side and
Stroke me, stroke me
Could be a winner boy you move mighty well
Stroke me, stroke me
(Stroke)
Stroke me, stroke me
You got your number down
Stroke me, stroke me
Say you're a winner but man
You're just a sinner now
Put your left foot out
Keep it all in place
Work your way
Right into my face
First you try to bet me
You make my backbone slide
When you find you've bent me
Slip on by and
Stroke me, stroke me
Give me the reason this is all night long
Stroke me, stroke me
(Stroke)
Stroke me, stroke me
Get yourself together boy
Stroke me, stroke me
Say you're a winner but man
You're just a sinner now
(Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke)
Better listen now
Said it ain't no joke
Don't let your conscience fail ya'
Just do the stroke
Don't ya' take no chances
Keep your eye on top
Do your fancy dances
You can't stop you just
Stroke me, stroke me
(Stroke, stroke)
Stroke me, stroke me
(Stroke, stroke)
Stroke me, stroke me
(Stroke, stroke)
Stroke me, stroke me
(Stroke)
Stroke me, stroke me

My Kinda Lover Lyrics – Billy Squier
You got me runnin' baby
You give me somethin' way beyond revenue
You put the magic in me
I feel the magic when we do what we do
And oh
I can't do without you for too long
You're my situation
You're my kinda lover
You keep me all together
You take me out whenever I'm lettin' down
You got the motions baby
I got a notion maybe I'll stick around
And oh
I can never doubt you for too long
I can't see no reason
You're my kinda lover
When you come 'round I never get down
I fly across the floor
I can see you comin' on me
And I can't ask for more
Rock me, sock me
Baby you got me ridin' to the end
Rake me, shake me
Baby you make me turn me on again
You got my motor racin'
I find my thoughts embracin' your every move
I wanna set you reelin'
I wanna make you feel the way that I do
And oh

You Know What I Like Lyrics – Billy Squier
Somewhere in the distance--somewhere down the line
A trace of an illusion is etched upon my mind
A fool's infatuation poundin' in my brain
I fell into your face before I ever knew your name
You're no stranger--you know what I like...
You got me in a cross fire, drivin' in my car
You come on like a daydream, you move just like a star
Your lips are my persuasion, your love will be my cure
The path of least resistance is all I can endure
You're no stranger--you know what I like...
Miles of conversation...it's all between the lines
You're in the "A" rotation, you're with me all the time
Our love will go the distance--however near and far
In all of my confusion, I know just who you are
You're no stranger--you know what I like...
A trace of an illusion is etched upon my mind
A fool's infatuation poundin' in my brain
I fell into your face before I ever knew your name
You're no stranger--you know what I like...
You got me in a cross fire, drivin' in my car
You come on like a daydream, you move just like a star
Your lips are my persuasion, your love will be my cure
The path of least resistance is all I can endure
You're no stranger--you know what I like...
Miles of conversation...it's all between the lines
You're in the "A" rotation, you're with me all the time
Our love will go the distance--however near and far
In all of my confusion, I know just who you are
You're no stranger--you know what I like...
Too Daze Gone Lyrics – Billy Squier
Walkin' through the streets just the other day
Caught up in the traffic--I can never get away
Runnin' here, runnin' there
No satisfaction anywhere
I do my work--ain't enough anymore
It takes the mornin' after to forget the night before
Too daze gone...too daze gone
I'm broke down, insufferable--my mind is on the blink
It's later than you think and I'm too daze gone
Went to see a friend just the other day
Had a drink or two and we blew the night away
Takin' in another show...how we live I'll never know
I can't remember the things that we said
Now all I got is this achin' in my head
Too daze gone...too daze gone
I'm broke down, insufferable--my mind is on the blink
It's later than you think and I'm too daze gone
Gone through the games that you want me to play
Gone past the rules that you put in my way
Racin' past your limit--ain't no right and wrong
Past the point of carin'--too daze gone
Couldn't raise my head just to save the day
I do my penance--try to keep the world at bay
Outa sight, outa mind...ills you don't expect to find
I learned my lesson a thousand times too
Don't make no impression--one thing I can do
Too daze gone...
Caught up in the traffic--I can never get away
Runnin' here, runnin' there
No satisfaction anywhere
I do my work--ain't enough anymore
It takes the mornin' after to forget the night before
Too daze gone...too daze gone
I'm broke down, insufferable--my mind is on the blink
It's later than you think and I'm too daze gone
Went to see a friend just the other day
Had a drink or two and we blew the night away
Takin' in another show...how we live I'll never know
I can't remember the things that we said
Now all I got is this achin' in my head
Too daze gone...too daze gone
I'm broke down, insufferable--my mind is on the blink
It's later than you think and I'm too daze gone
Gone through the games that you want me to play
Gone past the rules that you put in my way
Racin' past your limit--ain't no right and wrong
Past the point of carin'--too daze gone
Couldn't raise my head just to save the day
I do my penance--try to keep the world at bay
Outa sight, outa mind...ills you don't expect to find
I learned my lesson a thousand times too
Don't make no impression--one thing I can do
Too daze gone...
Whadda Ya Want From Me Lyrics – Billy Squier
Down in the dungeon I'm having a hard time
I get my love on condition and my Dewar's without lime
Up in the tower you're countin' the fault lines
(I say) I am who I am--whadda you want from me
Long distance warfare from over the phone lines
Terminal airfare--I'm crossin' the red line
Can't tell the diff'rence 'tween a "wait" and a "walk" sign
But you know who I am--whadda you want from me (nah yeah)
You preach forgiveness but once in a dog's day
Naw but nobody listens to everything you say
You want the business, ya have it your own way
But you know who I am--whadda you want from me
Now I can't see no maybe, I can't see it at all
I seen through you baby,
You wanna have it all...you take me to the wall
(ow!)
Whadda you want from me...
(I said)you know who I am--whadda you want
I done what I can--take what you want
I am who I am--whadda you want from me
I get my love on condition and my Dewar's without lime
Up in the tower you're countin' the fault lines
(I say) I am who I am--whadda you want from me
Long distance warfare from over the phone lines
Terminal airfare--I'm crossin' the red line
Can't tell the diff'rence 'tween a "wait" and a "walk" sign
But you know who I am--whadda you want from me (nah yeah)
You preach forgiveness but once in a dog's day
Naw but nobody listens to everything you say
You want the business, ya have it your own way
But you know who I am--whadda you want from me
Now I can't see no maybe, I can't see it at all
I seen through you baby,
You wanna have it all...you take me to the wall
(ow!)
Whadda you want from me...
(I said)you know who I am--whadda you want
I done what I can--take what you want
I am who I am--whadda you want from me
Lonely Is The Night Lyrics – Billy Squier
Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right--(say) the writin's on the wall
It's a high time to fight when the walls are closin' in
Call it what you like--It's time you got to win
Lonely, lonely, lonely--your spirit's sinkin' down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town
Red lights, green lights, stop 'n go jive
Headlines, deadlines jammin' your mind
You been stealin' shots from the side
Let your feelin's go for a ride
There's danger out tonight..the man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite...the boys are set to prowl
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a fight--do you wanna take it all
Slowdown, showdown--waitin' on line
Showtime, no time for changin' your mind
Streets are ringin', march to the sound
Let your secrets follow you down
Somebody's watchin' you baby--so much you can do
Nobody's stoppin' you baby, from makin' it too
One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do
One kiss'll show you now baby--it can happen to you
No more sleepin', wastin' our time
Midnight creepin's first on our minds
No more lazin' 'round the tv
You'll go crazy--come out with me
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right--(say) the writin's on the wall
It's a high time to fight when the walls are closin' in
Call it what you like--It's time you got to win
Lonely, lonely, lonely--your spirit's sinkin' down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town
Red lights, green lights, stop 'n go jive
Headlines, deadlines jammin' your mind
You been stealin' shots from the side
Let your feelin's go for a ride
There's danger out tonight..the man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite...the boys are set to prowl
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a fight--do you wanna take it all
Slowdown, showdown--waitin' on line
Showtime, no time for changin' your mind
Streets are ringin', march to the sound
Let your secrets follow you down
Somebody's watchin' you baby--so much you can do
Nobody's stoppin' you baby, from makin' it too
One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do
One kiss'll show you now baby--it can happen to you
No more sleepin', wastin' our time
Midnight creepin's first on our minds
No more lazin' 'round the tv
You'll go crazy--come out with me
