| Summer in the City | |

hot town summer in the city
back of my kneck gettin' dirty and gritty
i been down isn't it a pity
doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
all around people lookin' half dead
walkin' down the sidewalk out of their match head
but at night it's a different world
go out and find the girl
come on and dance all night
despite the heat it will be allright
and baby don't you know that you forget it
the day can be like the night
in the summer in the city
in the summer in the city
cool town evening in the city
dressed so fine and look so pretty
cool cat lookin' for a kitty
gonna look in every corner of the city
till i reason like a bus stop
running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the roof top
but night is a different world
go out and find the girl
come on come on let's dance all the night
despite the heat it will be all right
and baby don't you know that you forget it
the day can be like the night
in the summer in the city
in the summer in the city
but at night it's a different world
go out and find the girl
come on and dance all night
despite the heat it will be allright
and baby don't you know that you forget it
the day can be like the night
in the summer in the city
in the summer in the city
summer in the city
hot town summer in the city then again a cool town
evening in the city
than the back of my kneck gettin' dirty and gritty
livin' in the city
in the summer town day
a cool town
a cool girl
have fun
evening in the city

| Guess Who? | |
|
Someone really loves you
Guess who
Someone really cares
Guess who
S'open your heart,
oh, then surely you'll see,
oh, that the someone who really cares is me
Someone will wait eternally
Someone who'll want your love,
oh so desp'rately
Open your heart,
oh, then surely you'll see,
oh, that the someone who really cares,
who really cares is me

| Five Long Years | |

If you ever been mistreated, then you know just what I'm talking about.
If you ever been mistreated people, you know just what I'm talking about.
I tell you I worked, I worked five long years for a woman,
and she had the nerve to put me out.
You know I got a job in a steel mill, trucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every Friday I went straight home with all of my pay.
If you ever been mistreated people then you know just what I'm talking about.
I tell you I worked, I worked five long years for a woman,
and she had the nerve to put me out.
But you know, I finally learned a lesson, a long, long time ago.
The next woman that I marry, she gotta work and bring in the dough.
If you been mistreated people then you know just what I'm talking about.
I tell you I worked, I worked five long years for a woman,
she had the nerve, she had the nerve to put me out.
