1. BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE

Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool baby, you're strange but not a stranger
I'm an oridinary girl and I'm burnin' down the house.

Hold tight, wait till this party's over
Hold tight, well we're gonna be in for some nasty weather
There has got to be a way and we're burnin' down the house.

Here's your ticket, pack your bags, it's time for goin' overboard.
Transportation is here
Close enough but we're not too far, bet you're wonderin' where you are
Fight fire with fire.

All wet, and you might need a raincoat
Shake down, my dreams are walkin' in broad daylight
365 degrees and we're burnin' down the house.

My house, out of the ordinary
That's right, I don't wanna really hurt nobody
Some things sure sweep me off my feet
And we're burnin down the house.

Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool baby, you're strange but not a stranger
I'm an oridinary girl and I'm burnin' down the house.

2. SHAKE A LITTLE

In the shadow of your father
Sweet brown eyes of the one I love
I can't wait another minute baby
To do the things that we never done
Everybody gets hungry sometimes
Your love is like a kettle on
In the shadow of your father
Guess I get a little sad sometimes.

Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Just a little now
Just a little now.

Everybody gets lonely sometimes
Guess a stranger is a friend in need
In the shadow of this New York skyline
All these stories looking down on me
Everybody feels the water rising
Could go on to her enjoy the ride
Ah when you're dancing for me now baby
I don't feel so small against the tide.

Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my cup runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Just a little now
Just a little now
Just a little now.


3. I' CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize, don't patronize me.

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight.

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.


4. ROCK STEADY

You need a man that'll treat you like the woman you are
Those little boys are just fooling around with your heart
Whatcha gonna do now that you're all alone?
You need a rock not a rollin' stone
Yeah so when a boy
It just ain't enough
You need a man made of stronger stuff
Get ready.

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you.

You need somebody who will help you with your heavy load
Well I've been there baby
Lord give me a rock and roll
Well I can bend but I won't break
Cause you ain't got what I can't take
So when you're tired of those little girls
You want a woman that'll rock your world
Get ready.

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you
Amateurs and diletants
They can't give you what you really want
When all the other have been untrue
I'll give you something you can hold on to.

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you.
