Let's Put The X In Sex
(Paul Stanley & Desmond Child)
 
I got a letter just the other day 
She sent a picture, but she didn't sign her name 
She wore high heels and a little black lace 
I knew her body, but I couldn't see her face 
She didn't leave a number, not an address or a clue 
But something in that photograph reminded me of you 
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye 

I got a call in the middle of the night 
Heavy breathin' never sounded quite so nice 
She said "Oh yeah, I wish that I was there" 
I asked who was calling, but she wasn't playing fair 
Sometimes you gotta suffer for the pleasure that you seek 
You're beggin' for an eyeful but you only get a peek 

Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye 

I heard somebody knockin' so I opened up the door 
She wore a hat, shades, and a trench coat 
Wasn't wearin' that much more 
She said she knew my secrets but I didn't have a clue 
Then I saw those black lace panties and I knew that it was you 

Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye 
Let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye 
Let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye 
Let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
Baby, let's put the X in sex

(You Make Me) Rock Hard
(Paul Stanley, Desmond Child & Dianne Warren)
 
Hot lover, turn up the heat 
I want your sugar, girl your love tastes so sweet 
I feel a fire burnin' under me 
I've got a hunger that you love's gotta feed 
You make me sweat, you turn me 'round 
You get me up, you never let me down 

You make me rock hard, baby all night 
Love's like a glove and it fits just rights 
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight 
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby all night 

I'm under a physical spell 
I'm a prisoner and your love is my cell 
Once I get started I can't stop 
I can't cool down 'cause this love is so hot 
You make me sweat, you turn me 'round 
You get me up, you never let me down 

You make me rock hard, baby all night 
Love's like a glove and it fits just right 
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight 
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby all night 

You make me sweat, you turn me 'round 
You get me up, you never let me down 

You make me rock hard, baby all night 
Love's like a glove and it fits just right 
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight 
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby let's 
Rock hard, baby all night 
Love's like a glove and it fits just right 
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight 
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby all night 
All night, all night, yeah, all night, hey 
You make me rock hard, baby all night 
Love's like a glove and it fits just right 
You make me rock hard, so baby hold tight 
Come on baby, let's rock hard, baby let's 
Rock hard, baby all night

Love Gun
(Paul Stanley)
 
I really love you baby 
I love what you've got 
Let's get together, we can 
Get hot 
No more tomorrow, baby 
Time is today 
Girl, I can make you feel 
Okay 
No place for hidin' baby 
No place to run 
You pull the trigger of my 
Love gun, (love gun), love gun 
Love gun, (love gun), love gun 

You can't forget me baby 
Don't try to lie 
You'll never leave me, mama 
So don't try 
I'll be a gambler, baby 
Lay down the bet 
We get together, mama 
You'll sweat 

No place for hidin' baby 
No place to run 
You pull the trigger of my 
Love gun, (love gun), love gun 
Love gun, (love gun), love gun

Detroit Rock City
(Paul Stanley & Bob Ezrin)
 
I feel uptight on a Saturday night 
Nine o' clock, 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 
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show 

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 too 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 up 
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

I Love It Loud
(Paul Stanley & Vincent Cusano)
 
Stand up, you don't have to be afraid, get down - love is like a hurricane 
Street boy, no I never could be tamed, better believe it 
Guilty 'til I'm proven innocent, whiplash, heavy metal accident 
Rock on, I wanna be President, 'cos 

Chorus: 
I love it loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes 
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want to compromise 

Turn it up, hungry for the medicine, two fisted to the very end 
No more treated like aliens, we're not gonna take it 

No lies, no more alibis, turn it up, it's got me hypnotized 
Rock on, I won't be tranquilized, 'cos 

chorus repeats 2x 

Headlines jungle is the only rule, front page roar of the nation cool 
Turn it up, this is my attitude, take it or leave it 

chorus repeats out [both lines 'I love it loud, ...']

Deuce
(Gene Simmons)
 
Get up 
And get your grandma outta here 
Pick up 
Old Jim is workin' hard this year 
And baby 
Do the things he says to do 
Baby, if you're feeling good 
And baby if you're feeling nice 
You know your man is workin' hard 
He's worth a deuce 

Honey 
Don't put your man behind his years 
And baby 
Stop cryin' all your tears 
Baby 
Do the things he says to do 
Do it 

Baby, if you're feeling good 
And baby if you're feeling nice 
You know your man is workin' hard

(Paul Stanley & Vinnie Vincent)
 
Don't wanna wait 'til you know me better

There ain't a reason on earth to waste it 
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself 

Chorus:

Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah 
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on

Heaven's On Fire
(Paul Stanley & Desmond Child)
 
I look at you and my blood boils hot, I feel my temperature rise 
I want it all, give me what you got, there's hunger in your eyes 
I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe 
You know the way to give me what I need 
Just let me love you and you'll never leave 

Chorus: 
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire 
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire 

I got a fever ragin' in my heart, you make me shiver and shake 
Baby don't stop, take it to the top, eat it like a piece of cake 
You're comin' closer, I can hear you breathe 
You drive me crazy when you start to tease 
You could bring the devil to his knees 

chorus 

Oho Heaven's on fire, oho Heaven's on fire, oho 

I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe 
You know the way to give me what I need 
Just let me love you and you'll never leave

Strutter
(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 
Everybody says she's lookin' good 
And the lady knows it's understood 
Strutter 

She wears her satins 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 

Everybody says 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 says she's lookin' good 
And the lady knows it's understood 
Strutter

Just a few more hours 
And I'll be right home to you
