Straight Up 

Lost in a dream
I don't know which way to go
(A-let me say it)
If you are all that you seem
Then, baby, I'm movin' (movin') way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slammin' door
How about some information, please?

Straight up
Now tell me, do you really wanna love me forever
(Oh, oh, oh)
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up
Now tell me, is it gonna be you and me together
(Oh, oh, oh)
Or are you just having fun?

Time's standing still
Waiting for some

(Waiting for some) small clue
(A-let me tell you know)
I keep getting chills
When I think your love (when I think your love) is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slammin' door
How about some information, please?

Straight up
Now tell me, do you really wanna love me forever
(Oh, oh, oh)
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up
Now tell me, is it gonna be you and me together
(Oh, oh, oh)
Or are you just having fun?

You are so hard to read
You play hide-and-seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say
A-bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

A-do-do you love me, do-do you love me, baby?
A-do-do you love me, do-do you love me?
A-hey, baby
A-do-do you love me, do-do you love me, baby?
Come on now
A-do-do you love me, do-do you love me?
A-tell me, baby
I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history book?
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information, please?
(Please, please, ah, please, please)

Straight up, now tell me (tell me)
Straight up, now tell me (tell me)
Straight up, now tell me (tell me)
Straight up, now tell me
Straight up, now tell me

Straight up
Now tell me, do you really wanna love me forever
(Oh, oh, oh)
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up
Now tell me, is it gonna be you and me together
(Oh, oh, oh)
Or are you just having fun?

Straight up
Now tell me, do you really wanna love me forever
(Oh, oh, oh)
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up
Now tell me, is it gonna be you and me together
(Oh, oh, oh)
Or are you just having fun?

Straight up!
Now tell me, do you really wanna love me forever
(Oh, oh, oh)

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Go

Living it up
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Living it up
Living it up
Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Watch the big freeze slip, crack the jackpot, get out of control
If you put yourself down, you'll never win, get out of that hole
Keep your mind open, your head up, you'll never, ever get old
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Go

Your whole world could change if only you just broke through
Through the fears inside your head
'Cause your fears are doing nothing for you
Keep your head up, your mind open, you'll always, always come through
'Cause living it up, it's a big deal, it's good for you
Swap your dull grey thoughts for fierce demands, you can stand up too
Don't put yourself down, you'll never win, so let's all smash through
Through the fear of being real, through the fear of really being you
'Cause living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you
Living it up, it's a big kick, it's good for you

..”All, let’s do the ‘ya-ya’s now…”

To the Devil His Due

Bad things coming to you,
Don't ya hide your face from

The things that don't ring true,
Good times, bad times, that may be so,
You're just part of the game

Hold on there just a little longer,
Ooh baby, good times, bad times.

Good times, bad times, coming your way,
Ooh now watch out baby,

Here you go, way too fast
Don't slow down, you're gonna crash
You should watch, watch your step
Don't look out, gonna break your neck
So shut, shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you
Enough to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me
Got no words of sympathy
And if I go around with you
You know that I get messed up, too
With you
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Here you go, way too fast
Don't slow down, you're gonna crash

You've been running all over town
So shut, shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you
Enough to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me
Got no cure for misery
And if I go around with you
You know that I get messed up, too
With you
With you
With you
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

19 Something 

I saw Star Wars at least eight times
Had the Pac-Man pattern memorized
And I've seen the stuff they put inside Stretch Armstrong, yeah
I was Roger Stauback in my back yard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evel Knievel scars
On my right arm
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died
And my mama cried
It was 1970 somethin'
In the world that I grew up in
Farrah Faucett hairdo days
Bell Bottoms and 8-track tapes
Lookin back now, I can see me
And oh man, did I look cheesy?
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh, it was 1970 something
It was the dawning of a new decade
When we got our first microwave
Dad broke down and finally shaved them old sideburns off
I took the stickers off of my Rubix Cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
In them cut off jeans
A space shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried
It was 1980 something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin back now I can see me
Oh man, did I look cheesy?
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh, it was 1980 something
Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes
(Sometimes)
It was 1980 something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating Rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin back now I can see me
Oh man, did I look cheesy?
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh, it was 1980 something
1970 something, aw, it was 19 something
