Girl, sometimes it seems to me
That I don't say the things I should, to you, I act like I'm no good
You wait for me patiently
This house is not a home without you, it takes two hearts to share

Your eyes will always see through me, and bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you, you're everything I need

And through the good and bad times, you have always been there
We hold each other close, you tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it, never dream of giving up
That's the price of love

Look, sometimes it makes us cry
Forgive me when I get it wrong, sometimes it's hard to be that strong
And oh, I would do anything
For you I'd turn the stars around, I'd find a way somehow

This time, you see I built a bridge to you again
Love shines, we'll sweep away the past
We're more than lovers, more than friends

And through the good and bad times, you have always been there
We hold each other tight, you tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it, never think of giving up
That's the price of love

Your eyes will always see through me, and bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you, you're everything I need

And through the good and bad times, you have always been there
We hold each other close, you tell me it's alright
And sometimes I can't give enough, that's the price of love

That's the price of love, that's the price of love
That's the price of love...

Come on everybody
Come on everybody

One-two-one-two
One-one-one-one-one
One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
Put your glad rags on and join me hon
We're gonna have some fun when the clock strikes one
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock until the broad daylight
We're gonna rock gonna rock around the clock tonight

Rock, rock, rock everybody
Roll, roll, roll everybody
Rock, rock, rock everybody
Roll, roll, roll everybody
Rock, rock, rock everybody
Rocking with the beat

W-w-w-w-wake up, little Suzie, wake up
Wake up, little Suzie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Suzie and weep
The movie's over it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
Wake up little Suzie
Wake up little Suzie
We gotta go home

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
Well you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Shake-shake-shake-shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll

A-well-a bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man
On a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm acting
Wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You should have heard them knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block was dancing to the Jail house Rock

A-ah-ah-ah
A-ah-ah-ah
A-ah-ah-ah
At the hop, hop, hop-hop-hop

Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight

They don't care where they kick
Just as long as they hurt you
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Love if you're there come save me
From all this cold despair
I can hang when you're around
But I'll surely die
If you're not there

Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight

I feel like I'm looking for my soul (Soul)
Like a poor man looking for gold (Gold)
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Voices from the sky say rely on your best friend to pull you through
But even if I wanted 2 I couldn't really truly 'cause my only friend is you

Come on

There are thieves in the temple tonight

Kicking me in my heart, tearing me all apart
(Tearing me, tearing me, tearing me all apart)
'Cause me and you could have been a work of art
Thieves in the temple

Baby don't you know I'm holding on
The best that I can
Love please help me be
The better man

Better than the thieves in the temple
In the temple tonight

Oh, thieves in the temple (Tonight) tonight
Hurt me

Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Thieves in the temple

you said you loved me! (Thieves in the temple)
you said I was your friend! (Thieves in the temple)
you were supposed to take care of me! (Love come quick) {Thieves in the
Temple}
you lie! Love come (Lie!) In a hurry (Lie!)

Thieves in the temple tonight

You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle.
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle.
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
And baby you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume

Well you could've been anything
That you wanted to, I can tell
The way you do the things you do, alright.
The way you do the things you do.

As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could've been an our
The way you stole my heart
You know you could've been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could've been a schoolbook

Well you could've been anything
That you wanted to, I can tell
The way you do the things you do, alright.
The way you do the things you do.

You make my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could've been some honey
