I Love Rock 'n' Roll
From - I Love Rock 'n' Roll
Hit #1 - 3/82
I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong, playing my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah, me, singin'

Chorus:
I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me

He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That doesn't matter," he said, "'cause it's all the same."
I said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on
And he was with me, yeah, me
And next we were moving on
And he was with me, yeah, me, singin'

Chorus

I said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on
And he was with me, yeah, me, singin'

Written by - Tommy James & Peter Lucia
From - I Love Rock 'n' Roll
Peaked at #7 - 6/82
Ah, I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
Crimson and clover

Ah, when will she come walking over?
I've been waiting to show her
Crimson and clover
Over and over

Ah, my mind's such a sweet thing
I want to do everything
What a beautiful feeling
Crimson and clover
Over and over

Crimson and clover, over and over...
Crimson and clover, over and over...
Crimson and clover, over and over...

I Hate Myself For Loving You
From - Up Your Alley
Peaked at #8 - 10/88
Midnight, gettin' uptight - Where are you?
You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you
Hey, Jack - It's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart, then you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
Daylight, spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through
Hey, man, bet you can treat me right
You just don't know what you was missin' last night
I wanna see your face and say forget it just from spite
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart, then you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you (3 x's)

Little Liar
Written by - Joan Jett & Desmond Child
From - Up Your Alley
Peaked at #19 - 1/89
I was taught to never tell a lie
To look you in the eye and tell it like it is
Always thought that you would be the same
It's such a shame that's not the way it is
I was fooled by your innocence
And my love for you was so intense
With our connection only physical
If it got me through the night
Well, that's a lie
Hey little liar, I believed in you (2 x's)
Hey little liar, I believed in you, oh!
A simple question makes you look away
Your hesitation gives it all away
There's some protection in the way you move
If there's sadness in my eyes
It's coming from your lies
Hey little liar, I believed in you (3 x's)
I believed in you
You want to sleep with me, but payback's tough
Why don't you call me when you're all grown up?
If there's a change in you, I'll know it's true
Hey little liar, I believed in you (9 x's)
Hey little liar (3 x's)

Can't stay at home, can't stay in school
Old folks say ya poor little fool
Down the street, I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for
Hello daddy
Hello mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch
Ch-cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm
Your wild girl

Stone age love, and strange sounds too
Come on baby, let me get into you
Bad nights causin' teenage blues
Get out now, 'cause you've got nothin' to lose
Hello daddy
Hello mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch
Ch-cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm
Your wild girl
Ch-ch-ch
Ch-cherry bomb
Hey street boy, ya want some style
Your dead end dreams don't make you smile
I'll give you somethin' to live for
Have ya, grab ya till you're sore
Hello daddy
Hello mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch
Ch-cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm
Your wild girl
Ch-ch-ch

Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)
Written by - Glitter & Leander
From - I Love Rock 'n' Roll
Peaked at #20 - 9/82
We've been here too long
Tryin' to get along
Pretendin' that you're oh so shy
I'm a natural ma'am
Doin' all I can
My temperature is runnin' high

Cry at night
No one in sight
An' we got so much to share
Talking's fine
If you got the time
But I ain't got the time to spare
Yeah

Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
There, yeah

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Every girl an' boy
Needs a little joy
All you do is sit an' stare
Beggin' on my knees
Baby, won't you please
Run your fingers through my hair

My, my, my
Whiskey and rye
Don't it make you feel so fine
Right or wrong
Don't it turn you on
Can't you see we're wastin' time, yeah

Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch (Yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
There, yeah

Fake Friends
From - Album
Peaked at #35 - 8/83
When you were down they were never there
When you're all alone you really get to learn
If you get back up they gonna come around
All the sycophants they love to make romance
To the ugly sound of I'm telling you
What you wanna hear and you pretend
Cause they all agree you're suppose to have a better life
But you're feeling worse...
And they build you up till you fool yourself
That your something else and it's like a curse
Cause you can't live up to what they made of you
And they tell you that you're losing friends

Losing friends
Losing friends
You got nothing to lose you don't lose when you lose fake friends

You go and tell them you were king of the hill
When you need a hand that was yesterday
You see them laugh while you're on your knees
And it breaks your heart cause you gave so much
And you can't believe that you're hitting the ground
And you notice you've been losing friends

Losing friends
Losing friends
You got nothing to lose you don't lose when you lose fake friends
