sister sledge - all american girls
We're all american girls
And we love the life that we lead.
We're all american girls -
Hear what we say
Know what we mean.
. . .
The day has finally come
We're reaching out for number one.
We've worked hard all of our lives
It was a fight just to survive.
You'd better get this straight
Wise up before it's too late.
We're not threatened by your lies
Oryourgoodbyes.
We're all american girls
. . .
Sometimes the struggle gets rough
You give your all
But it's not enough.
A vacant job at the top
Don't let them tell you that right you're not.
We're not asking to reverse roles so long rehearsed.
Give us an equal share - that's just faire.
We're all american girls
sister sledge - easier to love
(*) Sometimes it seems that way to me
It's easier to love, don't you see
(* repeat)
Won't somebody please explain
Why all the hurt and the pain?
Can't you make'em see
It's not supposed to be
All this beautiful land
See the children playing in the sand
I put to you this question
What you at tolerate destruction?
And I don't understand why
(* repeat 3 times)
What more can I say
War is this game to play
Give a person a little might
Well that don't make him right
And I hope and pray
Oh please let the children play
All this killing each other
You should be loving your brother
And I don't understand why
(* repeat 3 times)
Let me hear you say:
(I do) I love you (repeat 7 times ad lib)
And I don't understand why
(* repeat 4 times and fade)

sister sledge - good times
Good times, these are the good times
Leave your cares behind, these are the good times
Good times, these are the good times
Our new state of mind, these are the good times
Happy days are here again
The time is right for makin' friends
Let's get together, how 'bout a quarter to ten
Come tomorrow, let's all do it again
Boys will be boys, better let them have their toys
Girls will be girls, cute pony tails and curls
Must put an end to this stress and strife
I think I want to live the sporting life
Good times, these are the good times
Leave your cares behind, these are the good times
Good times, these are the good times
Our new state of mind, these are the good times
A rumor has it that it's getting late
Time marches on, just can't wait
The clock keeps turning, why hesitate
You silly fool, you can't change your fate
Let's cug the rug, a little jive and jitterbug
We want the best, we won't settle for less
Don't be a drag, participate
Clams on the half shell and roller-skates, roller-skates
Good times, these are the good times
Leave your cares behind, these are the good times
Good times, these are the good times
Our new state of mind, these are the good times
Good times! Music turnaround -16 bars-

sister sledge - got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody (soon)
Tired of movies all by myself
I'm sure you folks know what I mean
My time has come and I need someone
To share my popcorns and jellybeans
Looked in the mirror, it all got clearer
I won't let my life pass me by
Stop feelin' sorry for myself
Fish are biting
I'll throw out my line
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody (soon)
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody (soon)
Must be careful and watch my step
I hope the shock is very mild
I'll change my hair and change my style
Watch out I might just go wild
I got to get out and live
And show the world how much I can give
I'm gonna do it all by myself
I'll make a love you can't put on a shelf
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody (soon)
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody
I've got to love somebody today
I've got to love somebody (soon)

He's just a runaway
runaway
He'll run and break your heart.
He's just a runaway
runaway
He'll run and break your heart.
She was stanging there all alone
had no money left.
Love hangs on the phone
no one's home.
It was Saturday
getting hot
conscious walked away.
Can his heart be caught? Love is not bought.
Still she wants.
He's just a runaway
runaway
. . .
Yes
he has honest eyes and a lovely face.
It happens ev'ry time. Innocence lies -
But the weekend pass on reality
Served to bring him back
Love was just an act for so long - now he's gone.
He's just a runaway

sister sledge - he s the greatest dancer
Oh-what-wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh-what-wow
That I've ever seen
Oh-what-wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh-what-wow
One night in a disco
On the outskirts of Frisco
I was cruisin' with my favourite gang
The place was so boring
Filled with out-of-towners touring
I knew that it wasn't my thing
I really wasn't caring
But I felt my eyes staring
At a guy who stood out in the crowd
He had the kind of body
That would shame Adonis
And a face that would make any man cry
Oh-what-wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh-what-wow
That I've ever seen
Oh-what-wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh-what-wow
The champion of dance
His moves would put you in a trance
And he never leaves the disco alone
Arrongance but not conceit
As a man he's complete
My crme de la crme
Please take me (don't go) home
He wears the finest clothes
The best designers, heaven knows
Ooh, from his head down to his toes
Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci
He looks like a still
That man is dressed to kill
Oh-what-wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh-what-wow
That I've ever seen
Oh-what-wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh-what-wow
That I've ever seen
sister sledge - lost in music
We're lost in music; caught in a trap.
No turning back. We're lost in music.
We're lost in music. Feel so alive.
I quit my nine-to-five. We're lost in music.
Have you ever seen some people lose ev'rything?
First to go is their mind.
Responsibility to me is a tragedy.
I'll get a job some other time.
I want to join a band and play in front of crazy fans.
Yes
I call that temptation.
Give me a melody. That's all that I ever need.
The music is my salvation.
We're lost in music; caught in a trap. . . .
In the spotlight
the band plays so very tight
each and every night.
It's not vanity. To me
it's my sanity.
I could never survive.
Some people ask of me: What are you gonna be?
Why don't you go get a job? All that I can say:
I won't give up my music
not me
not now
no way
no how.
We're lost in music
caught in a trap
caught in our muslc.
No turning back. We're lost in music.
We're lost in music - don't take away our music
feel so alive
feel.
I quit - I quit my nine-to-five. Yeah
we're lost in music.
We're lost in music - melody is good to me.
Caught in a trap
I'm caught.
Oh baby
no turning back.No
no
no
we're lost in music.
We're lost in music.
