You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!!


You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!!
       This album was released in 1996 to promote the upcoming Kiss Alive! World Tour.  It doesn't get a high rating because 8 of the 12 tracks were from the albums Alive! and Alive II.  Only Room Service, Two Timer, Let Me Know, and Take Me were new tracks.  The foreign versions of the album includes New York Groove with Eric Singer on drums from 1980.  The compilation also includes an interview conducted by Jay Leno.  Again, it was later revealed that some tracks were re-recorded to clean up the new tracks.  You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!! is a good compilation but doesn't compare to Alive III.
Rating:   (2/5)

Room Service
(Paul Stanley)
 
I'm feelin' low, no place to go 
And I'm a-thinking that I'm gonna scream 
Because a hotel all alone is not a 
Rock and roll star's dream 
But just when I'm about to shut the light and go to bed 
A lady calls and asks if I'm too tired or if I'm just to dead for 

Room service, baby I could use a meal 
Room service, you do what you feel 
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain 
I can't say no 

(My plane's delayed) My legs are lead and I'm afraid 
They're gonna keep me waiting here till nine 
Then a stewardess in a tight blue dress says 
"I got the time" 

But just as I'm about to take my coat and get my fly 
She says "Oh please", she's on her knees 
And one more time before I leave I get some 

Room service, baby I could use a meal 
Room service, you do what you feel 
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain 
I can't say no, no 

In my home town, I'm hangin' 'round 
With all the ladies treatin' me real good 
A sweet sixteen lookin' hot and mean says 
I wish you would 

But just as I'm about to tell her "Yes, I think I can" 
I see her dad, he's getting mad 
All the time he knows that I'm in need of 

Room service, baby I could use a meal 
Room service, you do what you feel 
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain 
I can't say no 

Room service, baby I could use a meal 
Room service, you do what you feel 
Room service, I take the pleasure with the pain 
I can't say no, I can't say no 

Room service, baby I could use a meal 
Room service, you do what you feel 
Room service, you take the pleasure with the pain 
I can't say no 

Room service, well maybe baby, room service

Two Timer
(Gene Simmons)
 
She thinks she's high fashion 
She thinks she looks divine 
And that's what I keep tellin' her 
I tell her all the time 
And she tells me she likes fast cars 
She says she likes mine the best 
And just because of that, baby 
You think she'd forget the rest, no, no, no 

Just call me a three time loser 
That's all I'll ever be 
'Cause my baby's such a two timer 
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me 

Two timer, my baby is a two timer 
My baby's a two timer 
My baby's a two timer 
My baby, she's a-two timing me, two timer 
My baby's such a two timer 

And she says she likes fast cars 
She says she likes mine the best 
And just because of that, baby 
You think she'd forget the rest, no, no, no 

Just call me a three time loser 
That's all I'll ever be 
'Cause my baby's such a two timer 
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me 

Two timer, My baby's such a two timer 
My baby's a two timer 
My baby's a two timer 
My baby, she's a-two timing me, two timer 
My baby's such a two timer, baby

Let Me Know
(Paul Stanley)
 
Ah let me, let me 
Let me be your Sunday driver 
Let me be your Monday man 
I'll take you anywhere you want 
Just as fast as I can 
It doesn't matter what you wanna do 
It doesn't matter where you wanna go 
Just gotta decide girl and then you let me know 

Oh, did you ever want lovin', so you're callin' 
Up your baby and she's stallin' with the neighbors 
And the night keeps gettin' longer 
And the urge keeps getting stronger 
So you try him and your dyin' and you're wonderin' does she love you 
A knock comes at your door 
Let me in honey 
YES! 

Let me 
Let me be your Tuesday driver 
Let me be your Wednesday boy 
I'll be your lovin' man 
You'll be my bundle of joy 
And oh 
It doesn't matter what you wanna do 
It doesn't matter where you wanna go 
You just gotta decide girl and then you let me know 
And then you let me know, (repeat 13x)

Rock Bottom
(Ace Frehley & Paul Stanley)
 
I can't wait a day 
I don't care what you say 
Oh yeah, you got to pay 
When you hit rock bottom 
And you're there to stay 
Sometimes late at night 
I want to hold you tight 
Oh no, you got to pay 
Girl, you hit rock bottom 
And you're there to stay 

Rock bottom 
Girl, you know you oughta treat me good 
Rock bottom 
Oh, you never treat me like you should 

Hard times got me down 
Good times ain't around 
Now I got the mind to say 
Girl, you hit rock bottom 
And you're there to stay 

Rock bottom 
Girl, you know you oughta treat me good 
Rock bottom 
Yeah, you never treat me like you should

Girl, you know you oughta treat me good

Parasite
(Ace Frehley)
 
She'll always be there trying to grab a hold 
She thought she knew me, but she didn't know 
That I was sad and wanted her to go 
Parasite lady 
Parasite eyes 
Parasite lady 
No need to cry 

I didn't wanna have to get away 
I told her things I didn't want to say 
I need her and I hope she'll understand 

Parasite lady 
Parasite eyes 
Parasite lady 
No need to cry

Firehouse
(Paul Stanley)
 
Whoo, hoo, yeah 
Whoo, hoo, yeah 
She'll adore you and she'll floor you 
With her wisdom and her vision 
And you'll love it and think of it 
Till you lose all intuition 
Come on 

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 afire 
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 

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

Ooh 
Get the firehouse 
'Cause she sets my soul afire 
Get the firehouse 
Whoo, hoo, yeah 
Get the firehouse 
Whoo, hoo, yeah

I Stole Your Love
(Paul Stanley)
 
I remember the day that we met 
I needed someone, you needed someone too, yeah 
Spend time takin' all you could get 
Givin' yourself was one thing you never could do 
You played with my heart, played with my head 
I got to laugh when I think of the things you said 

'Cause I stole your love, stole your love 
Ain't never gonna let you go 
I, oh yeah, stole your love, I stole your love 
Stole your love, I stole your love 

You never stop runnin' around 
You pick me up, then you could still put me down 
You were the girl that nobody could own 
Stay for a while, then you would leave me alone 

I'm somethin' different, ain't like the rest 
How does it feel to find out you're failin' your test 

'Cause I stole your love, stole your love 
Ain't never gonna let you go 
I, I, stole your love, I stole your love 
Stole your love, I stole your love 
Guitar 

Listen, I stole your love, stole your love 
Ain't never gonna let you go 
I, I, stole your love, I stole your love 
Stole your love, I stole your love 
I stole your love, stole your love 
I stole your love, stole your love 
I stole your love, oh 
I, oh yeah, stole your love, I stole your love 
Stole your love, I stole your love 
I, oh yeah, stole your love, oh yeah, stole your love, alright

Grab onto my rocket

Her head down in my lap 
The moonlight shinin' down on her hair 
The radio was playin' 
Her fingertips were strayin' 
Her mama didn't know she was there, no
