LISTEN TO THE HEARTBEAT
Another Bowery girl and I might get stuck
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
'cause she's right in range and I'm in luck
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
She's a momma's girl, but she doesn't scold
My face gets numb and my teeth get cold
But I'm gonna push the limit before I get too old
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
Gonna dance all night, can't get enough
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
'cause you never can tell when your number's up
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
I kiss her on the neck and she bit my tongue
She might look dead but her heart is young
If she's gonna pull my trigger, better hold my gun
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
I never get tired of stiletto love
She's really handy with a rubber glove
I give her push, she gives me shove
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)
(Listen to the heartbeat, the heartbeat)

OUT OF LUCK
I never ever wanted to get close to you
I didn't wanna fall in love
They told me all the stories of the boys and their glory
Nearly died when you gave them the shove
But I fell for you honey, now I'm feeling funny,
like maybe I'm the next in line
I guess this time I've just run out of luck, whoa-whoa
I guess this time I've just run out of luck
You always told me when we were together,
you were happy for the very first time
I'd look into your eyes and figured that you meant it,
and that everybody else was lying
But now you come and tell me that you really like me,
and hope that we can still be friends
I guess this time I've just run out of luck, whoa-whoa
I guess this time I've just run out of luck
Now I know, you never really loved me anyway
But who cares, I learned from you just the same
And it's true, you cheapend yourself to better me
And I'm sure, I'll never fall for your kind again
Now I know, you never really loved me anyway
But who cares, I learned from you just the same
And it's true, you cheapend yourself to better me
And I'm sure, I'll never fall for your kind again
I never ever wanted to get close to you
I didn't wanna fall in love
They told me all the stories of the boys and their glory
Nearly died when you gave them the shove
But I fell for you honey, now I'm feeling funny,
like maybe I'm the next in line
I guess this time I've just run out of luck, whoa-whoa
(just run out of luck)
I guess this time I've just run out of luck, whoa-whoa
(just run out of luck)
I guess this time I've just run out of luck, whoa-whoa
(just run out of luck)
I guess this time I've just run out of luck

HEART OF THE CITY
We're in the heart of the city,
where the alligator roam
I'm a little lost lamb
Ain't got no place to go
I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a home in the heart of the city
Well, I'm a steppin' on the street,
and I'm a steppin' off the end
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a lover
Lookin' lookin' everywhere
Maybe I'm in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
There's a girl my Lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city
I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin'
I'm lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin' everywhere
in the heart of the city
We're in the heart of the city
We're in the heart of the stars
I hear the crash of music,
and a thousand guitars
And the boys are on the prowl,
and they're checkin' on me
They know a bird in the hand,
is worth two on the street
Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city
I said,
heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart, oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart

BACK OF MY HAND
You only call me if you're feeling blue
You tell me I don't pay attention to you
But if you only knew, just what I'm going through,
you wouldn't phone those guys who mess around with you girl
When I call you I get stock replies
You work 'em out before you dry your eyes
I'm not a fruit machine, a nineteen sixties dream
I dreamed about you, but you didn't see girl
You're not unreadable, you're not unbeatable,
I know just what you are, don't push your luck too far
You're not untouchable, not just another girl
I'd get in touch with you, I only wish you knew that
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number
I had a dream I met another girl,
but in the morning she was just a kick inside
I hope I'm gettin' through the interference too
My money's running out, I don't know what to say now
The operator's saying cut the line
You wanna cut it for the very last time,
You're only young at heart, but there's a time to start
Just realizing what I've got down here, girl
You're not unreadable, you're not unbeatable,
I know just what you are, don't push your luck too far
You're not untouchable, not just another girl
I'd get in touch with you, I only wish you knew that
(only wish you knew that)
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number
You only call me if you're feeling blue
You tell me I don't pay attention to you
But if you only knew, just what I'm going through,
you wouldn't phone those guys who mess around with you girl
You're not unreadable, you're not unbeatable,
I know just what you are, don't push your luck too far
You're not untouchable, not just another girl
I'd get in touch with you, I only wish you knew that
(only wish you knew that)
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number written on the back of my hand
I've got your number
