I like smoke and lightnin’  
Heavy metal thunder  
Racing with the wind  
And the feeling that I’m under

Yeah, darlin’, go and make it happen  
Take the world in a love embrace  
Fire all of your guns at once  
And explode into space

I won’t stop rockin’ all night, rockin’ all night  
Until the lightning strikes again

When I see lips beggin’ to be kissed (stop)  
I can’t stop (stop)  
I can’t stop myself (stop, stop)

Got your ticket  
Got your suitcase  
Got your leaving smile  
Though I could say that’s the way it goes  
And I could pretend you won’t know  
That I was lying

'Cause I can’t stop loving you  
No, I can’t stop loving you  
No, I won’t stop loving you  
Why should I?

_I Can’t Stop Loving You. Phil Collins_

(I can’t stop loving you)  
I’ve made up my mind  
To live in memory of the lonesome times  
(I can’t stop wanting you)  
It’s useless to say  
So I’ll just live my life in dreams of yesterday  
(Dreams of yesterday)  
Those happy hours that we once knew  
Tho’ long ago, they still make me blue  
They say that time heals a broken heart  
But time has stood still since we’ve been apart

_I Can’t Stop Loving You - Ray Charles_

The world I love, the tears I drop  
To be part of the wave, can’t stop  
Ever wonder if it’s all for you?  
The world I love, the trains I hop  
To be part of the wave, can’t stop  
Come and tell me when it’s time to

Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me  
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me

Well, I gave you everything I had  
But you left me sitting on my own  
Did you have to treat me oh, so bad?  
All I do is hang my head and moan

One day soon, I’m gonna tell the moon  
About the crying game  
And if he knows, maybe he’ll explain

Blue moon  
You saw me standing alone  
Without a dream in my heart  
Without a love of my own

Blue moon  
You knew just what I was there for  
You heard me saying a prayer for  
Someone I really could care for

Well, she was just seventeen  
You know what I mean  
And the way she looked  
Was way beyond compare  
So how could I dance with another  
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?

Not this season. There’s a reason.  
I won’t dance. Don’t ask me.  
I won’t dance. Don’t ask me.  
I won’t dance, Madame, with you.  
My heart won’t let my feet do things they should do.

You put your right foot in  
You put your right foot out  
You put your right foot in  
And you shake it all about  
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around  
That’s what it’s all about!

It’s just a jump to the left  
And then a step to the right  
Put your hands on your hips  
And pull your knees in tight

I wanna tell you ‘bout a dance  
That’s goin’ around  
Everybody’s doin’ it  
From the grownups down  
Don’t move your head  
Don’t move your hands  
Don’t move your lips  
Just shake your hips  
Do the hip shake, babe

Ain’t nobody do it but me
