Did It For The Money (Tesla)

DID IT FOR THE MONEY

Down on the corner, walkin’ the streets.

She smiles for ev’ryone she meets.

He’s not a man, no, he’s just another trick.

She’d do it all just to get that fix.

Did you do it for love?

Did you do it in the name of love?

No, it ain’t love she’s gonna find.

She’s got just one thing on her mind:

(Chorus)

  Money.  She did, she did it for the money.

  All in the name of money.

  All for the dirty green.

Cold in the city with the traffic slow.

He’s got nobody, no place to call home.

But he’s got a habit, oh, that he can’t control;

Takin’ hard earned money from a poor, helpless soul.

Didn’t do it for love.

Didn’t do it in the name of love.

No, it ain’t love he’s out to find.

He’s got just one thing on his mind:

(Chorus)

  Money.  He did, he did it for the money.

  All in the name of money.

  All for the dirty green.

(Bridge)

  And the young girl, she gets down on her knees, she’s there to please.

  She wants her money.

  And then the young man says,  "Now, put your hands in the air.

  Give me what I want, Give me what I need.  Now don’t you see?

  All I want, all I want, all I want is your money, yeah.  Give it to me!"

He’s got the money, left the scene of the crime.

Not a clue would he leave behind.

One’s bad misfortune make for another’s eats.

And now the young girl’s trick’s his treat.

(Chorus)

  Money.  He did, he did it for the money.

  All in the name of money.

  All for the dirty green.

  For the money.  He did it, did it for the money.

  All in the name of money.

  All for the dirty green.

Be A Man (Tesla)

BE A MAN

Hey!  yeah, yeah.  Uh huh.

Bustin’ ass all day

Just to put food on the table.

And I always will for as long as I am able.

Done all I could,

Ev’rything that a man should do.

Still they refuse to call me,

Call me what I am.  Hey! 

Do you know what it takes to be a man?

Don’t take a whole lots of money,

Diamond rings upon your hand, no.

That ain’t what it takes to be a man.

Do right by the ones you love,

Always give a helpin’ hand.  Yes, I do.

Now I’ve been through it all

Seen the good, the bad, the ugly.

Always take care of my share of responsibilities.

Now, just because I grow my hair

And play in a rockin’ band,

Old folks are always telling me,

"Boy, why don’t you grow up

And be a man."  Hey!

I know what it takes to be a man.

It ain’t the way you look

Or the clothes that you wear.

That ain’t what it takes to be a man.

Do right by the ones you love,

Always lend a helpin’ hand.

I know I got what it takes,

I know I got what it takes to be a man.

So go ahead and say what you will.

Because I know what I am,

Just what I am.  Ow!

Alright.  Ow!  Hey!

I know what it takes to be a man.

I’ve got what it takes

And you know I know what I am.

I know what it takes to be a man.

So go ahead, say what you will

‘Cause I know what I am.

I’m a man.

Hoo hoo hoo hoo.  I’m a man.

I know I got what it takes,

I know I got what it takes, ow!

Before My Eyes (Tesla)

BEFORE MY EYES

She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me

I can’t resist, I’m hypnotized, surrounded by her

I can’t, I can’t forget that face, and I will, I will go back to that place

She stands before my eyes, right before my eyes

I can see the colours coming one after another for me

I hear the words, feel the sound, going round in my head

But I know there’s something out there, please tell me, is this reality

Right before my eyes, right before my eyes

(Solo)

She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me

I can’t resist, I’m hypnotized

I can see the colours coming one after another for me

I see an image of myself

Before my eyes, right before my eyes

Right before my eyes, right before my eyes

Cover Queen (Tesla)

COVER QUEEN (Keith, Hannon)

Looks so good, from her head to feet

[Body English tights and] to me so so sweet

Got a perfect ten, there ain’t no doubt

She’s the kind of girl you dream about

 Chorus:

You know she’s got it - she’s got everything

She knows you want it - oh but you’ll never get a thing

Ooh what you’re doin’, baby what she’s doin’ to me

I’m head over heels, for that cover queen

Dressed to kill, this ain’t no game

[Checkin’ care of bitch ‘cos] needs a life of fame

And everywhere she goes, she’s the talk, she’s the talk of the town

She keeps it clean, but still gets around

(chorus)

Ooh, head over heels for the cover queen, ohh

(Solo)

Hey there cover queen, you know the time will come

Where you’re not laughin’, neither one

‘Cos the pretty smile will have a brandnew face

Will come along to take your place

You know she’s got it, now she’s got everything

You know you want it, oh but you’ll never get a thing

Ooh what you’re doin’, baby what she’s doin’ to me

I’m head over heels, head over heels, for that cover queen

(Solo)

Oh every time I look at you, all I wanna do is get next to you

I see your face in a magazine, the best lookin’ bitch that I’ve ever seen

I’m in love

Love Me (Tesla)

LOVE ME (Keith, Hannon, Wheat)

It’s day and I’m feelin’ high, what’s the chances for you and I

I’ve got a love on my mind, lovin’s on my mind

Now take me, lay me down, show me what you’re all about

If you got the time, I wanna make you mine

‘Cos you’ve got everything I want, baby you’re all I need

I want you to gimme your love, give it all to me

 Chorus:

You’ve got to love me, c’mon, baby love me

Oh set me free, oh woman set me free

You’ve got to love me, c’mon, baby love me

Oh let me be, oh woman let me be

I’ve got this feelin’ that I just can’t help, want you baby all to myself

Do you got the time, I wanna make you mine

I’ll be your only, woman, only love

Come on baby, give it to me, yeah, oh, give it to me

‘Cos you are everything I want, baby you’re all I need

I want you to gimme your love, give it all to me

(chorus)

Time was waitin’ for me, an hour due

‘Cos I make her swear, she couldn’t think I’d wanted to

You’ve got to give me some kind of a sign

Girl, let me know, if you’re gonna be all mine

Come on, come on, come on, baby give it to me

(Solo)

Oh, you are everything I want, baby you’re all I need

I want you to gimme your love, give it all to me

Come on, give it all, give it all, give it all

You’ve got to love me, come on, love me

Oh set me free, oh woman set me free

You’ve got to love me, c’mon, baby love me

Oh set me free, oh woman set me free

Love me, love me, come on baby, I need your lovin’

You’ve got to love me, c’mon, baby love me

You got to give me, got to give me, got to give me everything I need

Love me!
