Life In The Real World lyrics - Firehouse

Got you working the nine-to-five

Well every day

It's all you can do just to stay alive

Wasting your time away

There's got to be a better way

[Chorus:]

Living life in the real world

Well it's an uphill climb

Living life in the real world

Time after time, they knock you down

You gotta get up, you gotta live your life in the real world

With every second it slips away

It's getting harder to see

How you can be the best that you can be

Wasting your time away

There's got to be a better way

[Chorus]

Nobody ever told you it would be like this in the real world

Fame and fortune's nothing but a hit-and-miss

When you realize

You're living in the real world

[Chorus]

[Chorus (repeat)]

Life in the real world

Mama Didn't Raise No Fool lyrics - Firehouse

Well listen up to what I say

I wasn't born just yesterday

I've been down the road and back a time or two

Well this should come as no surprise

You can't pull the wool over my eyes

I've had it up to here and now I'm through

And I'm sick and tired of fools

Tired of playing by the rules

Time to strut my cool

'Cause mama didn't raise no fool

[Chorus:]

Mama didn't raise no fool

Well my mama didn't raise no fool

You can't tell me what to do

'Cause my mama didn't raise no fool

What goes around comes back around

And I've been around a few times by now

I've seen it all before and I've paid my dues

So don't tell me no stories

And don't tell me no lies

'Cause my mother brought me up to be a bad mother too

And I'm sick and tired of fools

Tired of playing by the rules

Time to strut my cool

'Cause my mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise no fool

Well my mama didn't raise no fool

You can't tell me what to do

'Cause mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise

Mama didn't raise no fool

[Chorus]

[Chorus (repeat)]

[Chorus (repeat)]

Hold The Dream lyrics - Firehouse

When you're lost and lonely

And you feel you can't go on

In the blink of any eye, you could throw it all away

You can turn your world around

Show them all what you can do

Just believe, and trust your heart to see you through

A dream so real, you can feel it in the palm of your hand

So hang onto tomorrow

And never look back again

[Chorus:]

Hold the dream

Don't ever let it go

Hold the dream

Don't ever let it get you down

When they turn their back on you

Just do what feels right for you

You can find what you're looking for

Don't get lost along the way

Always be strong. Your heart can't be wrong

Don't give up and your dreams will come true

A dream so real

You can feel it in the palm of your hand

So hang onto tomorrow

And never look back again

[Chorus]

Hang onto tomorrow

Hold the dream

Don't ever let it go

Hold the dream

Hold the dream

[Chorus]

Hang onto tomorrow

Hold the dream

Don't ever let it go

Hold the dream

Hang onto tomorrow

Hold the dream

Don't ever let it go

Hold the dream

Hold the dream

Rock On The Radio lyrics - Firehouse

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Every night and every day

I know what I need to get blown away

I turn it on to overload

And let the power of the sound explode

So come on, everybody let's go

Turn it up - I just gotta have some more

(Gimme that)

[Chorus:]

Rock on the radio

You turn it up 'till your speakers blow

Rock on the radio

Come on, come on everybody let's go

Like thunder, like dynamite

Ya know I'm gonna blow my speakers up tonight

I'm ready, going all the way

'Cause rock on the radio is here to stay

So come on, everybody let's go

Turn in up - I just gotta have some more

(Gimme that)

[Chorus]

All She Wrote lyrics - Firehouse

Bye-bye baby bye-bye

And that was all she wrote

I got home late on a Saturday night

And I knew right away something wasn't right

I knew she was gone

She took all I had, but left a hole in my heart

Should've known it'd go bad right from the start

What did I do wrong

I can't understand why she would leave me this way

With nothing to say

Then I found the note on the door

It said good-bye and she don't want me no more

Bye-bye baby, bye-bye she said in the letter

And that was all she wrote

Guess this is good-bye, guess this is forever

And that was all she wrote

I called on the phone but she wasn't there

Should've known all along that she just didn't care

Why did she have to go

Now I look at her picture and I wonder why

She left me this way - why did she say good-bye

I guess I'll never know

I can't understand why she would leave me this way

With nothing to say

I remember the note on the door

It said good-bye and she don't want me no more

Bye-bye baby, bye-bye she said in the letter

And that was all she wrote

Guess this is good-bye, guess this is forever

And that was all she wrote

Shake & Tumble lyrics - Firehouse

Turn up the jukebox

We're gonna tear this damn place down

Lookin' for action

Yeah, wherever it can be found

I ain't no Johnny-come-lately

I'm Johnny-on-the-spot

I don't need no lady

I need a woman that gets me hot

Too naughty to be nice, too bad to be good

I'm all shook up, b-b-b-baby I don't know what to do

Got that rhythm and it makes me lose control

When we...

[Chorus:]

Shake and tumble

Shake and tumble down with me baby

Shake and tumble down

I need a woman that can make me

Shake and tumble down (aw yeah)

Body slammin'

Gotcha on the floor

D-down and dirty

Is what I'm lookin' for

Got that rhythm and it makes me lose control

When we...

[Chorus]

Don't Treat Me Bad lyrics - Firehouse

I never thought you'd hurt me

I guess you live and learn

That when you're playin' with fire you're bound to get burned

I've been mistreated, I've been used before

I get kicked in the face still I come back for more

But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain

We can pick up the pieces and start it all again

Let's just get back to the way it was before

Oh, girl I can't take anymore

[Chorus:]

Baby, don't treat me bad

Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have

Baby, don't treat me bad

(Well) you can do anything, but baby, don't treat me bad

Oh, don't treat me bad

I gave it everything, but you threw it all away

I can't take anymore of these games that you play

I've been through heartache and I've been through pain

And it's hard to believe you still treat me this way

But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain

We can pick up the pieces and start it all again

Let's just get back to the way it was before

Oh, girl I can't take anymore

[Chorus]

Oh girl, I can't take anymore, oh yeah, now listen to me

[Chorus]

Oughta Be A Law lyrics - Firehouse

Ooo the lady in red, well she's driving me mad

Her very first offense was just looking at me

But that second glance was a felony

Oh the lady's so fine, but I think it's a crime

She's just too much for a man like me

They'd better lock her away and throw out the key

[Chorus:]

There oughta be a law

Against a girl like you

Oughta be a law

Against the things you do

Oughta be a law

For breaking hearts in two

There oughta be a law against a girl like you

Oh the lady is cool and she's breaking the rules

If only looks could kill, she'd be killing me

Guilty, murder one in the first degree

Oh the lady's unkind, she's got me doin' time

She's just too much for a man like me

They'd better lock her away and throw out the key

[Chorus]

Y'know, I'm gonna take ya downtown

Strip ya down and throw it in the slammer, baby

I'm gonna throw the book at you, girl

Stick 'em up!

[Chorus]

Lover's Lane lyrics - Firehouse

She drives me crazy, she drives me wild

But when she tries to satisfy me when I'm drivin'

We need to stop somewhere for a while

I'm gettin' ready, I feel the need for speed

Can't slow down 'til she gives me what I need

I know just the place that we can go

Hop in the back, we can be all alone

Lock the doors and hold on tight

We're gonna have a good time tonight

[Chorus:]

We're going down, down, down to Lover's Lane

That's where she drives, drives, drives me insane

I'll take her down to down to Lover's Lane

We're going down, down, down to Lover's Lane

My motor's runnin', yeah it's gettin' hot

I get overloaded, overheated, could explode

I can't believe it, we just gotta stop

I know just the place that we can go

Hop in the back, we can be all alone

Lock the doors and hold on tight

We're gonna have a good time tonight

[Chorus]

Home Is Where The Heart Is lyrics - Firehouse

Do you remember when we were only kids

Knew everyone in our neighborhood and swore that we would never forget

Well time flies and the years go by, but memories never fade

I've been gone much too long, gotta get back there someday

But my travelin' days ain't over yet

And no matter how far away

There's one thing I can't forget

[Chorus:]

Home is where the heart is

But I'm always on the run

Home is where the heart is

Though my journey's just begun

Home's where the heart is

We used to hang out through the day and party all night long

I never thought I'd go away from the place where I belong

But here I am on the road again and my love is miles away

I've been gone much too long, gotta get back there someday

But my travelin' days ain't over yet

And no matter how far away

There's one thing I can't forget

[Chorus]

No matter how far away

The one thing I can't forget

[Chorus]

Don't Walk Away lyrics - Firehouse

Girl, you and I've been together

As long as I can remember

We've come too far to throw it all away

But you tell me that you're leavin'

Oh and I just can't believe it

You know I'd do anything if only you would stay

So if you love me, then don't leave me

Don't throw it all away

Baby, I'm beggin' you please

[Chorus:]

Don't walk away

(Well) Don't leave and break my heart

(Well) It hurts because I love you and it's tearin' me apart

Never too late to say we're sorry and try another way

I'm down on my knees, I need you baby

Don't walk away

Now we've both done things that we regret

We could learn to forgive and forget

We'll make it better, give it another try

Baby, don't give up, don't give in

Walkin' away won't solve anything

There's nothin' that I wouldn't do to keep you satisfied

So if you love me, then don't leave me

Don't throw it all away

Baby, I'm beggin' you, please

[Chorus]

Overnight Sensation lyrics - Firehouse

You're headed for the spotlight, I know you can go far

You can do anything just follow your heart

Just set the wheels in motion, hold tight and stake your claim

Make sure that they will all remember your name

Can't you feel it? Comin' on, just let go

Can't you see that you're about to steal the show

[Chorus:]

(Oh) You're the overnight sensation

You can be a star

Overnight sensation

No matter who you are

The stage is ready for you, can't wait another day

There is no limit you can take it all the way

Just take your chance forever, and make your dreams come true

You know it's now or never, it's up to you

Can't you feel it? Comin' on, just let go

Can't you see that you're about to steal the show

[Chorus]

Love Of A Lifetime lyrics - Firehouse

I guess the time was right for us to say

We'd take our time and live our lives

Together day by day

We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer

We know our dreams will all come true

With love that we can share

With you I never wonder - will you be there for me?

With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me?

I finally found the love of a lifetime

A love to last my whole life through

I finally found the love of a lifetime

Forever in my heart

I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss, our love is like brand-new

And every star up in the sky

Was made for me and you

Still we both know that the road is long

We know that we will be together

Because our love is strong

I finally found the love of a lifetime

A love to last my whole life through

I finally found the love of a lifetime

Forever in my heart

I finally found the love of a lifetime

Ooh, I finally found the love of a lifetime

A love to last my whole life through, ooh

I finally found the love of a lifetime

Forever in my heart

I finally found the love of a lifetime (I finally found the love of a lifetime)

Love of a lifetime (I finally found the love of a lifetime)

I finally found the love (I finally found the love of a lifetime)

Ooh, forever in my heart

I finally found the love of a lifetime, ooh

Helpless lyrics - Firehouse

I don't understand how I lost command
Of this entire situation
I do as I am told when you take control
I'm giving in to the temptation
I've lost control, I don't know what to do
I'd sell my soul if I could stay with you

[Chorus:]
Can't get enough without your love, I'm helpless
I need so much without your touch, I'm helpless
I want you so, don't let me go, I'm helpless
Gotta have you, without you I'm helpless

Don't turn your back on me, how can I make you see
I'm something that you should not ignore
You are my inspiration, my final destination
I could give you so much more
I've lost control, I don't know what to do
I'd sell my soul if I could stay with you

[Chorus]

Ooo you're rippin' my heart in two
I've got to have you here with me
Oh there's nothing that I can do
I'm helpless without you can't you see

[Chorus]
