Tonight it's hard to stay on my own
I feel like taking a wall
I can stand the tricks that you play on me.
The time you first took a seat by me
You looked to me as you were a dream
And suddenly I made up my mind, oh.
Refrain:
By the look in your eyes
I knew it surprise
The times that we earned's all over
Now I'm standing along still needing someone
Who'll suddenly sweep the night away
Chorus:
Never mind her, never mind her
Never mind we'll sweep the night away
Never mind her, never mind her
Never mind we'll sweep the night away.
And it makes no difference to walk in a dream
'Cause probably you changed your mind
I just can't figure it out, oh.
And as minutes pass day by day
Spent searchin' for a reason you ain't gone
They say to me I can't get my blood in veins.
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
RICO MAMBO / THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Intro:
Mambo
Oh, Rico Mambo
Mambo
It's easier to fall in love.
Para pa para, para pa para
Para pa para para, para pap doo da...
(Repeat last 2 lines)
Just like the mornin' crossin' the night
And changes everything in sight
I'll open my love, open the doors
But I never heard its sound before.
Refrain:
Always jokin' about it
Always , I try to figure it out
Always, I try to not think about it
It's easier to fall in love.
Chorus:
Oh, Rico Mambo
Oh, Rico Mambo, yeah
I get that feeling
Everytime that you get that mambo.
I think I'll go right by the door again today
Perhaps not the same way
I'm thinkin' who is gonna show if you don't
I'm not so sure that you won't.
(Repeat Refrain & Chorus)
Oh, Rico Mambo
I get that feeling, I get that feeling...
(Instrumental)
So can't you show me what you'd do again today?
You say, well, that can be arranged
But I'm a dancin' fool, I just can't smile
I say, well, that's gonna take a while.
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 3X)
(Repeat 2nd stanza of intro to fade)
STREET BEAT / TONI BASIL
STREET BEAT / TONI BASIL
One...two...three...four!
Foot out the door, I am not a toy
Shoot your rocket outer s***e
Blast me to the void
I don't need him, time to move my feet.
Lips are on and they're so red
Everything must move ahead
Move on baby desperate
Kickin' like a majorette.
Refrain:
(Oh, did she beat him or knock him off the streets, she go)
(Repeat)
Chorus:
Street beat, she goes walkin' down the street
Street beat, she just knocks them off their feet
Street beat, she goes walkin' out the door
Street beat, she don't want him anymore.
Too many fools, makin' that response
Girl on the string, give him what he wants
I don't need him anymore
To keep me through the shock.
When a person comes today
Tell my man I moved away
When the dog works for his food
Beat them with your attitude.
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
(Instrumental)
Bridge:
She's got that street beat
(Repeat 4X with Refrain as counterpoint)
Night on the town, runnin' with the girls
Now that I am free again, it's such a diff'rent world
Fifty eighth or third, fashion's right for me.
Shootin' by a crowded bar
Lowriders in souped-up cars
Don't throw kisses out the door
'Cause I'm the one who's keepin' score.
(Repeat Refrain & Chorus)
Coda: (Fade)
(Repeat Chorus with Refrain as counterpoint)
(She don't want him anymore)
(Repeat 4X, with Refrain as counterpoint)
HYPNOTIZED / COPY-RIGHT
A window blind is casting shadows on your naked skin
Despite your beauty, you're not human
With eyes supposed to kill you
I'm lookin' out the window
I can see the crowd have been in gray
And in the city by the pouring rain
And I don't have to stay.
Chorus:
Hypnotized by strange affection
Hypnotized with no way out
Hypnotized. complete surrender
Hypnotized when you touch me
Hypnotized.
And reason tells us this room's danger
The hunter's almost there outside
Tryin' to round us is the thief
Stealin' thoughts and mem'ry.
I'm lookin' out the window
I can see our soul-ghost drift away
Out of this jungle and the pouring rain
Can we ever be the same?
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
