Colorado Bulldog

(Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan, Pat Torpey, Eric Martin, Tony Fanucchi)
Ace high in golden, I was tall & on the rocks
Add a little touch of attitude
Whose that Madam X
Comin' in at 3 o'clock?
Why don't you send her over one, too

Next thing I remember
I was crawling 'round the room
She was dancing on the tables
I was bloodshot, barkin' at the moon

Colorado Bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado Bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck and Run like Hell

Swingin' from the rafters
Losing all control
Playing a game of little cat and mouse
I popped the question
I've been lonely much too long
Last call, Drinks are on the house

Next thing I remember
Through the pandemonium
Feeling like a nightmare
That bites, right into my skin

Colorado Bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado Bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck and run like hell

My sweet Lolita, A preying Maneater
Left me in the #6 Motel
How was I to know
She'd strip me to the bone
And steal away my heart as well

Next thing I remember
Through the pandemonium
Feeling like a nightmare
That bites, right into my skin

Colorado Bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado Bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck and run like hell
Colorado Bulldog
This night has gone to my head
Colorado Bulldog
Throw a leash around my neck and run like hell
Bottoms up, down the hatch
It's time to start all over again

Price You Gotta Pay

(Billy sheehan, Paul Gilbert, Pat Torpey)
I could take what I want
But I take what I need
How can I help myself
If I need everything

I get possession
With half of the truth
Then change direction
When the bill comes due

Then I turn around
The man is standin' at the door

The price you gotta pay
It's comin' down today
At the time it seemed so easy

Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
It's the price you gotta pay
I got here with nothin'
I'll leave with a lot
Come on and take a chance baby
Give me what you got
A piece of the action
A slice of the pie
I hope you won't remember
When it's time to testify

I turn around to look at you
Your lookin' back my way

Price you gotta pay
It's comin' down today
At the time it seems so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
The price you gotta pay

Solo

How this is how it all adds up
The rent is due and so are you
I here to repossess your soul
Hey baby, you're deep into the hole
It's the price you gotta pay
It's comin' down today
It started out so easy
Like a little game
There's a price for saying maybe
A price you gotta pay
Price you gotta pay
At the time it seemed so easy
Like any game you play
There's a price for saying maybe
The price you gotta pay

Promise Her The Moon

(Eric Martin, Andre Pessis)

You don't know what you've got
'Till the love is almost gone
This time...she's giving up
Still in a state of shock
I should have seen it coming on
It's too late for waking up

Her mind's made up
The dream is over
But my heart just can't let go

She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon

I was too blind to nitice her
Wrapped up in myself
Working hard overtime, night and day
I thought we were so secure
Can't imagine someone else

Her mind's made up
The dream is over
But my heart just can't let go

She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon

And all the times that she stood by me
I never said " I love you"
But I kept it deep down in my soul
And all the while I've been a fool
She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon

What's It Gonna Be

(Paul Gilbert, Pat Torpey, Andre Pessis, Billy Sheehan)

What it gonna be baby
Shivers down you spine
Swim onto your island
is your treasure mine?

Send me out an answer
Tell me something real

What's it gonna be baby, What's it gonna be
Why's it have to be so hard, to win your sympathy
What's it gonna be baby, What's it gonna be
You're taking your time, making up your mind
Missing all the best of me
Wnat's it gonna be baby
Your back's against the wall
Close your eyes and feel your
Body start to fall

Gimme little answer
Whoa Whoa Whoa-Oooh

What's it gonna be baby, What's it gonna be
Why's it gonna take to see the possibilities
What's it gonna be baby, What's it gonna be
You're taking your time, making up your mind
Missing everything I'm giving for your love
Send me out an answer
Tell me how you feel
Move a little closer
Gimme something real
Put you in my pocket
Keep you for a day
Let the good doctor
Take you away
What's it gonna be baby, What's it gonna be
Why's it have to be so hard, to win your sympathy
What's it gonna be baby, What's it gonna be
You're taking your time, making up your mind
Missing everything I'm giving for your love

Wild World

(Cat Stevens)

Now that I lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm greiving

But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of things turn bad out there

Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Cause I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl

But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

Baby I love you,
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

Mr.gone

(Pat Torpey, Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan)

You feel a tap upon your shoulder
Turn around there's no one there
Is your mind just getting older
Are you whispering a prayer

When you feel you're someone else
In the crowd all by yourself

Love, choice and destiny knocked on your door
You were gone
Sold your world to keep it free
Are you lonely tonight Mr.Gone?

Twist your heart up over nothing
Your will is working double time
Intuition has misled you
She's polite, but so unkind

When you feel you're someone else
In the crowd all by yourself

Love, choice and destiny knocked on your door
You were gone
Sold your world to keep it free
Are you lonely tonight Mr.Gone?

Where's your love,
Where's your life
Get your head put of the sand
Free your mind,
Free your soul,
An open heart will understand
Everything is cool...
Mr.Gone...
We need love
Mr.Gone...
We gotta make a change
Mr.Gone...
Love, choice and destiny knocked on your door
You were gone
Sold your world to keep it free
Are you lonely tonight Mr.Gone?
Lose your personality,
When all of your rights turn to wrong
Blinded by the things you see
Are you lonely tonight Mr.Gone?

The Whole World's Gonna Know

(Billy Sheehan, Paul Gilbert)

Your secret is safe
I'll keep it on the inside
Cover your play
Makin' up a white lie

I can't complain
She's finally off of my back
I shoulda known better
She came in from the wrong side of the tracks
I'll keep my mouth shut
Nothin' else I can do
At the rate that you're going
Baby, Pretty soon the whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know
What you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
All about it baby
I used to be
As foolish as the last guy
I made up my mind
There'll never be a nest time, No
Now that your done
With all your fake affection
So many like me
You know they're getting wise to your deception
I'll keep my mouth shut
Nothin' else I can do
At the rate that you're going
Baby, Pretty soon the whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know
What you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
All about it baby
Nothing I can do

Solo
I'll keep my mouth shut
Nothin' else I can do
At the rate that you're going
The whole world is gonna know

The whole world is gonna know
What you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
All about it baby
The whole world is gonna know
The whole world is gonna know
What you've done to me
The whole world is gonna know
All about it baby

Nothing But Love

(Paul Gilbert)

Guess what baby
The things we said
Came true today cause we listened to our hearts
No one but you
Will ever do
Our search is through but our journey's just beginning
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To mend the place inside your heart that needed healing
Nothing but love can live forever
Nothing but love will start
To make your head spin round & round
You know you're feeling love
Nothing but love, Nothing but love
Can't read your mind, Lord knows I've tried
But in your eyes, I see everything I need to know
Nothing to do, but follow through
My aim is true, I could never ask for any more

And if you walk way
You know that I will follow
To steal back your broken heart
At least until tomorrow
Because forever comes in days
One by one I'll stay beside you
I can't hide that you're the one

Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To mend the place inside your heart that needed healing
Nothing but love can live forever
Nothing but love will start
To make your head spin round & round
You know you're feeling
Nothing but love can hold our world together
Nothing but love can start
To let us hear the sounds above
That have been screaming love
Nothing but love, Nothing but love
Love, Nothing but love, Nothing but love
Oooh, Hooo, Oooh, Oooh

Temperamental

(Eric Martin, Paul Gilbert, Tony Fanucchi, Pat Torpey)

She's Shakin' like a dashboard doll
Cool, Cruel and calculating
A beauty in the backseat
She runs hot and leaves you cold

'Cause she's wicked with a mean streak
A time bomb tickin' away
Here comes trouble, right on the double
With a split personality

Heaven knows there's hell to pay
Never have I seen such an attitude
Don't shoot it's only me, baby

Watch what you might say, and how you say it
She's so temperamental
Don't turn your back on good little girl like that
(She's so twisted) and temperamental

One minute, she's an innocent child
Sweet taste of her emotion
Angel with a strange twist
Makes it all worthwhile

Bad luck comin' on strong
Ready to meet it halfway home
Heartbreaker-time to meet the maker
'Cause her minds long gone

Heaven knows there's hell to pay
Never have I seen such an attitude
Don't shoot it's only me, baby

Watch what you might say, and how you say it
She's so temperamental
Don't turn your back on good little girl like that
(She's so twisted) and temperamental

Heaven knows there's hell to pay
Never have I seen such an attitude
Don't shoot it's only me, baby

Watch what you might say, and how you say it
She's so temperamental
Don't turn your back on good little girl like that
(She's so twisted) and temperamental
Just a little bit...Watch what you might say, and
how you say it
She's so temperamental
Don't turn your back on good little girl like that
(She's so twisted) and temperamental

Ain't Seen Love Like That

(Eric Martin, Mark Spiro, Andre Pessis)

I've been miles from nowhere
'Crossed and doubled back
Time is a healer, and I've done my time
'Cause I ain't seen love like that

I've seen the light of freedom
Dim and fade to black
So many faces, but no one compares
No I ain't seen love like that

And I got...People tellin me to let her go

Don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's comin', and you'll never know
The one that you lost may be found

I believe in justice
Wonder where it's at
I'd wait a lifetime and it just ain't fair
'Cause I ain't seen love like that

And I got...People tellin me to let her go

Don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's comin', and you'll never know
The love that you lost may be found

You know that...People tellin me to let her go

Don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's comin', and you'll never know
The one that you lost may be found

I've been miles from nowhere
'Crossed and doubled back
Time is healer, and I've done my time
No I ain't seen love like that
I ain't seen love like that
No, I ain't seen love like that
I ain't seen love like that
Ain't seen love like that
No.....

Mr.big

(Rodgers, Kossoff, Fraser, Kirke)

I work hard everyday come rain or shine
Don't need nobody to tell me about a girl of mine
She's got so much love, saved it all for me
I would not be lying, it's the way it's got to be

So Mr.Big
Better watch out
And don't you hang around me now
That all for you, I would dig
A great big hole in the ground

I don't care who you are, so don't explain
Better get on out of here, and don't you come back again
I don't want a thing from ya', don't wanna give you nothing too
So get on out of here before I lose my cool

Mr.Big
Better watch out
And don't you hang around me now
That all for you, I would dig
A great big hole in the ground

Long Way Down

When it all comes tumbling down
We'll be telling lies and spitting out poison
The battle lines are drawn
Slow dancing with the devils on our own front lawn

So close to givin' up
Kiss it off and taking my chances
In a tug of war
You can't win when you don't know what
you're fighting for

A call for answers when love's in question
I hear a voice inside my head

Don't lose faith
Stand your ground
'Cause it's a long way down
Gone too far
To turn back now
It's a long way down

Too late when the damage is done
Running blind into the arms of strangers
We need a simple change of heart
Hold on before the whole thing falls apart

A call for answers when love's in question
I hear a voice inside my head

Don't lose faith
Stand your ground
'Cause it's a long way down
Gone too far
To turn back now
It's a long way down

A call for answers when love's in question
I hear a voice inside my head
Telling me that things are gonna get better

Don't lose faith
Stand your ground
'Cause it's a long way down
Gone too far
To turn back now
It's a long way down
Don't lose faith
Stand your ground
'Cause it's a long way down
Gone too far
To turn back now
It's a long way down
