KISS - Hot in the Shade Album Lyrics

Betrayed, yeah, life's a bitch, so just don't feel
Betrayed, no, you ain't the only one who's been betrayed, betrayed

Stone cold and all alone, and you're wearin' everything you own
They bare your flesh and strip your soul, but underneath you got a heart of gold
Just hold on to what you got (hold on, hold on)

Betrayed, you ain't satisfied, I know you feel betrayed
You ain't crucified, so get real, betrayed, betrayed

All alone, far from home, and you're feelin' cold as stone
Don't give up, don't give in, life's a bitch if you lose or win

Betrayed - yeah, you ain't the only one who's been
Betrayed - life's a bitch, if you lose or win - betrayed, betrayed

Betrayed, betrayed (repeats out)

Chorus:
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire

The ride was over but the story doesn't end, he took her heart
She looked him in the eye and said they couldn't meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa's messin' with someone, it was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run

chorus

Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night, as time stood still
They couldn't hear him coming 'til he had them both in sight
You could feel a chill
A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands, with nothing won
When someone lies dying, lovers finally understand

chorus...

Can't you hear your heart is beatin' (Don't you hear it beatin')
Don't you feel that sweet sweet feelin' (Can't you feel that feelin')
Anytime you need some lovin'

Chorus:
Yeah, I know, I'm a prisoner of love, and I can't break these chains
Yeah, yes I know, but here comes that feelin' again

And if you can't believe all your alibis, I can tell by that look in your eyes
When we make love, you play hard to bet, you bet, what you give is what you get

Anytime I see you goin' (Anytime I see you gone)
Everytime the feelin's growin' (This feelin's growin')
Anytime I need your lovin'

chorus

I know it's much too late, but I can't help this feelin', no I can't look away

chorus repeats out

Baby you're just wastin' precious time, if you want to know what's on my mind

Chorus:
Read my body, are the letters big enough
Read my body, do you like the book of my love
Read my body, turn the page, get to the good stuff, read my body

Would you like to go on a moonlight ride
Do you think you wanna show me what you're like inside
Would you like to touch, do you wanna know
How good it can get, how far it can go - ooh, let's go, let's go

Baby if you're lost between the lines, open up your eyes and see the signs

chorus

Baby you're just wastin' precious time, if you want to know what's on my mind

chorus repeats...

I never thought I could hurt so good, no no
I never thought I could lose myself, but I just can't hide it
They never let you down easy, now listen

Chorus:
Sometimes love is like a slap in the face, you been burned and still
It's the same old mistake
If you want my opinion, I'll give it to you straight
Love is like a slap in the face
Singin' na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na

Love's got a hold on me, I can't believe it, but it's plain to see
Turns me upside down and inside out
Don't know why it never fails to make you scream and shout

I never knew I could fool myself, no no, I never thought I could hurt so good
But I just can't hide it, guess I'm feelin' no pain, now listen

chorus

I never knew I could hurt so good, no no, I never thought I'd say nonono, no no
But I'm here babe, I got a secret inside

Sometimes love is like a ball and chain
Keeps you up at night, why is it always the same
If you wanna know the truth, it's something I can't explain
Yeah love is like a ball and chain

Yeah na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na (repeats out)

Chorus:
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

chorus - yeah!

I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cos I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

chorus repeats 2x

Chorus:
I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize
'Cos what's so special 'bout a girl like you, with a silver spoon

In a city where the buildings rise, I was just another face
But mama told me when somebody dies, no one else can take your place
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said

I wasn't born with a silver spoon, nowhere to hide in a crowded room
I see the attitude that's in your eyes, I got no reason to apologize
'Cos I've got something for a girl like you, with a silver spoon

I always knew I'd be somebody, I kept it in my head
I never needed anybody, and like my daddy said

chorus...
