Strutter '78
(Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons)
 
I know a thing or two about her 
I know she'll only make you cry 
She'll let you walk the street beside her 
But when she wants she'll pass you by 

Ev'rybody said she's lookin' good 
And the lady knows it's understood 
Strutter! 
Strutter! 
Strutter! 

She wears her satin like a lady 
She gets her way just like a child 
You take her home and she says "Maybe, baby" 
She takes you down and drives you wild 

Ev'rybody said she's lookin' good 
And the lady knows it's understood 
Strutter! 

I know a thing or two about her 
I know she'll only make you cry 
She'll let you walk the street beside her 
But when she wants, she'll pass you by 

Everybody said she's lookin' good, and the lady knows it's understood 
Strutter - I know she'll just make you cry 
Strutter - look out, that girl will just pass you by 
Strutter - whoa oh, she gets her way like a child 
Strutter - mama, that girl will just drive you wild 

Strutter (repeats out)

Do You Love Me
(Paul Stanley, Ken Fowley & Bob Ezrin)
 
You really like my limousine 
You like the way the wheels roll 
You like my seven inch leather heels 
And goin' to all of the shows 
But... 

Do you love me? 
Do you love me? 
Do you love me 
Really love me? 

You like the credit cards and private planes 
Money can really take you far 
You like the hotels and fancy clothes 
And the sound of electric guitars 
But... 

Do you love me? 
Do you love me? 
Do you love me (I mean like do ya) 
Really love me (I wanna know?) 

You really like rock 'n' roll 
All of the fame and the masquerade 
You like the concerts and studios 
And all the money honey that I make 
But... 

Do you love me? 
Do you love me? 
Do you love me 
Really love me? 

Your backstage pass and black sunglasses 
Make you look just like a queen 
Even the fans they know your face 
From all of the magazines 
But... 

Do you love me? 
Do you love me? 
Do you love me 
Really love me? 

I wanna know... 

Do you love me? 
Do you love me? 
Do you love me (I mean like do ya) 
Really love me? 

Do you love me? 
Do you love me? 
Do you love me 
Really love me? 

I want you to, I need you to, and you know, I'm so tired of everybody sayin' it 
And you know, I just gotta know, if you really really really, really love me 
So come on, do you love me - I need you to - do you love me - I want you to 
Do you love me - I need you - really love me - I wanna know 
Do you love me - do you, do you - do you love me 
I just got to have some love... (to fade)

God Of Thunder
(Paul Stanley)
 
You got something about you 
You got something I need 
Daughter of Aphrodite 
Hear my words and take heed 

I was born on Olympus 
To my father a son 
I was raised by demons 
trained to reign as the one 

God of Thunder and Rock and Roll 
The spell you're under 
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul 

I am the lord of the wastelands 
A modern day man of steel 
I gather darkness to please me 
And I command you to kneel 
Before the...

With her wisdom and her vision 
And you'll love it and think of it 
Till you lose all intuition 
C'mon! 

She can move you and improve you 
With her love and her devotion 
And she'll thrill you and she'll chill you 
But you're headed for commotion 

And you'll need her so you'll feed her 
With your endless dedication 
And the quicker you get sicker 
She'll remove your medication 

Get the firehouse 
'Cause she sets my soul on fire 
Get the firehouse 
And the flames keep gettin' higher 

She's like bad weather but it seems so good 
You'd never leave her but you know you should

Hotter Than Hell
(Paul Stanley)
 
She looked good 
She looked hotter than hell 
All dressed in satins and lace 
I looked at her and it was just too clear 
I had to get on the case 

I said "Lady, oh lady can I take you home? 
There's just so much we could do 
I'll take you all around the whole wide world 
Before the evening is through" 

Hot, hot, hotter than hell 
You know she's gonna leave you well-done 
Hot, hot, hotter than hell 
She'll burn you like the midday sun 

I asked her why she couldn't 
Make up her mind 
She said "You don't understand 
I'd love to go, but there's something you should know" 
She showed me her wedding band 

Hot, hot, hotter than hell 
You know she's gonna leave you well-done 
Hot, hot, hotter than hell 
She'll burn you like the midday sun 

Hot, hot, hotter than hell 
You know she's gonna leave you well-done 
Hot, hot, hotter than hell 
She'll burn you like the midday sun

I Want You
(Paul Stanley)
 
In the morning I raise my head 
And I'm thinkin' of days gone by 
And the thing I want out of life is 
I want you (I want you) 
I want you (I want you) 

You can run, you can hide 
But you never get away 
You can lie and deny 
But you know you're gonna pay 
Never loved, never thought you could 
treat you right, girl, you know I would 
You can fight but tonight 
There's nothin' you can do 

I want you (I want you) 
Baby Baby babe I want you (I want you) 

You can walk in a haze 
You can travel 'til you die 
You can live in a dream 
And your life will pass you by 
Ev'ry day that you hesitate 
You're never changin in the hands of fate 
You can fight but tonight 
There's nothing you can do 

I want you (I want you) 
Baby Baby babe I want you (I want you) 

In the morning I raise my head 
And I'm thinkin' of days gone by 
And the thing I want out of life is 

I want you (I want you)

Baby Baby babe I want you (I want you)

It must have been a bitch while I was gone 
You mind if I sit down for a while?

Detroit Rock City
(Paul Stanley & Bob Ezrin)
 
I feel uptight on Saturday night 
Nine o' clock and the radio's the only light 
I hear my song and it pulls me through 
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do 
I got to... 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Getting late 
I just can't wait 
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road 
First I drink, then I smoke 
Startin' the car, and I drive and make the midnight show 
Let's go 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Movin' fast, doin' 95 
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much to slow 
I feel so good, I'm so alive 
I hear my song playin' on the radio 
It goes 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat 

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock 
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes 
Oh my God! no time to turn 
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die! 
Why? 

Get up 
Everybody's gonna move their feet 
Get down 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

She walks by moonlight 
No one really knows 
Enchanted starlight 
Never goin' home 

I know she's goin' down, goin' 
Ev'rybody knows she's so good 

Doin' well for others 
She doesn't really know 
The powers all within her 
As she takes off her clothes 

I know she's goin' down, goin' 
Ev'rybody knows she's so good 

Doin' well for others 
She doesn't really know 
The powers all within her 
As she takes off her clothes 

I know she's goin' down, goin' 
Ev'rybody knows she's so good

She's a dancer, a romancer 
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer 
She saw my picture in a music magazine 
When she met me, said she'd get me 
Touched her hips and told me that she'd let me 
I took her hand, baby 
This is what I said 

I said baby, baby, don't you hesitate 
'Cause I just can't wait 
Bady won't you take me down on my knees 
You can do what you please 
Come on and love me 

I'm a man, I'm no baby 
And you're lookin' ev'ry inch a lady 
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good 
You were distant, now you're nearer 
I can feel your face inside the mirror 
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hands 

So baby, baby, don't you hesitate 
'Cause I just can't wait

You know it'll always win 
It's cold gin time again 
You know it's the only thing 
That keeps us together 

It's time to leave and get another quart 
Around the corner at the liquor store 
The cheapest stuff is all I need 
To get me back on my feet again 

It's cold gin time again 
You know it'll always win 
It's cold gin time again 
You know it's the only thing 
That keeps us together

Black Diamond
(Paul Stanley)
 
Out on the street for a living 
Picture's only begun 
Got you under their thumb 

Hit it! 

Out on the streets for a living 
Picture's only begun 
Your day is sorrow and madness 
Got you under their thumb 

Oo, black diamond! 
Oo, black diamond! 

Darkness will fall on the city 
It seems to follow you too 
And though you don't ask for pity 
There's nothin' that you can do 

Oo, black diamond! 
Oo, black diamond! 

Out on the streets for a living 
Picture's only begun 
Your day is sorrow and madness 
Got you under their thumb 

Oo, black diamond! 
Oo, black diamond!
