Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head
Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around, no, no, no
Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control
You taught me the ways of desire, now it's takin' its toll
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around, no, no, no
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Heartbreaker

I Need A Lover
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone to thrill me, and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - Hey hit the highway
Well I've been walking the streets in the evening
Racing through this human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey - I'm so weak, won't someone shut out that light
Electricity runs thru the video
And I watch from this hole I call home
And all the stonies that are dancin' to the radio
I got the world calling me tonight on the phone
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - Hey hit the highway
Well I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm livin'
But I'm gonna quit my job, and go to school, and head back home
Now I'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
Hey - I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom one more night alone
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - Hey hit the highway
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone to thrill me, and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - Hey hit the highway
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone to thrill me, and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - Hey hit the highway
Well I've been walking the streets in the evening
Racing through this human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey - I'm so weak, won't someone shut out that light
Electricity runs thru the video
And I watch from this hole I call home
And all the stonies that are dancin' to the radio
I got the world calling me tonight on the phone
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - Hey hit the highway
Well I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm livin'

If You Think You Know How To Love Me
A breathless drive on a downtown street
Motorbike ride in the mid-day heat
The dust that hung from the desert skies
Run, though we run it still burned our eyes
Oh, yes we can walk on the wild, wild side of life
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side
And in the shadows of a promise, you can take my hand
And show me the way to understand
So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
Yes, if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
A reckless night in a nameless town
And we moved out of sight, with a silent sound
A beach that wept with deserted waves
That's where we slept, knowing we'd be safe
Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me
But there's a lot I can learn, and a lot that I've yet to see
You know you've got my life lying in your hands
It's up to you to make me understand
So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
Yes, if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
So if you think you know how to love me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
Yes, if you think you know how to love me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay

In The Heat Of The Night
In The Heat Of The Night, when you know it ain't right
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, no one can feel like you
Out in the summertime city, ain't it a pity
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight to somewhere you can't be found
While down at the edge of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You hear them talkin' about the girls they knew
And talk about what they're gonna do
Then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?
Is it right, or is it wrong?
Does it matter what's right, In The Heat Of The Night?
Out in the streets tonight, under the neon lights
You're searchin' for something new
But nothin' is real, and no one can feel like you
They say that eagles fly in this red hot sky
But were they just passin' through
Or did they look down, and see what you found was true
But still in the back of your mind
You've got somethin' to believe in, but there's so much to find
As the bright lights dim, and the night closes in
You thought everything is ending, but it's yet to begin
And you ain't seen nothing yet!
But what you see you'll never forget, and you'll say
Why oh Why)
Did it take you so long to want something more?
Why oh Why)
Did you never get off on this before?
Why oh Why)
Well, here it is, the love you've been waitin' for
Why oh Why)
Standin' in front of you like an open door
And then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?
Is it right, or is it wrong?
Does it matter what's right, In The Heat Of The Night?
In The Heat Of The Night, when you know it ain't right
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, 'cause no one can feel like you
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, no one can feel like you
Out in the summertime city, ain't it a pity
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight to somewhere you can't be found
While down at the edge of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You hear them talkin' about the girls they knew
And talk about what they're gonna do
Then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?

Does it matter what's right, In The Heat Of The Night?

My Clone Sleeps Alone
You know and I know my clone sleeps alone
She's out on her own - forever
She's programmed to work hard, she's never profane
She won't go insane, not ever
No V.D., no cancer, on T.V's the answer
No father, no mother,, she's just like the other
And you know and I know, my clone sleeps alone
Your clone loves my clone, but yours cannot see
That's no way to be, in heaven
No sorrow, no heartache, just clone harmony
So obviously, it's heaven
No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
No bed names, no sex games, just clone names and clone games
And you know and I know my clone sleeps alone
Before we existed the cloning began
The cloning of man and woman
When we're gone they'll live on, cloned endlessly
It's mandatory in heaven
But they won't remember or ever be tender
No loving, no caring, no program for pairing
No V.D., no cancer, on T.V's the answer
No father, no mother, she's just like the other
No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
And you know and I know my clone sleeps alone
my clone sleeps alone!
my clone sleeps alone!
She's out on her own - forever
She's programmed to work hard, she's never profane
She won't go insane, not ever
No V.D., no cancer, on T.V's the answer
No father, no mother,, she's just like the other
And you know and I know, my clone sleeps alone
Your clone loves my clone, but yours cannot see
That's no way to be, in heaven
No sorrow, no heartache, just clone harmony
So obviously, it's heaven
No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
No bed names, no sex games, just clone names and clone games
And you know and I know my clone sleeps alone
Before we existed the cloning began
The cloning of man and woman
When we're gone they'll live on, cloned endlessly
It's mandatory in heaven

No V.D., no cancer, on T.V's the answer

We Live For Love
Your love's contagious, one kiss is dangerous
But I have more to risk, than you to lose
I feel passion growing
I know that love is only just one inch away, from striking us
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
When we get tired, and watch the summer fade away
Will you think of romance, what will we do?
Is there a place where we can go?
Where time stands still for those who know?
Till eternity we'll fulfill our desires
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
I never planned to win the race
But you convinced me face to face
There was never a chance of losing at all
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
But I have more to risk, than you to lose
I feel passion growing
I know that love is only just one inch away, from striking us
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
When we get tired, and watch the summer fade away
Will you think of romance, what will we do?
Is there a place where we can go?
Where time stands still for those who know?
Till eternity we'll fulfill our desires
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
I never planned to win the race

Rated X
She's a personality, enjoying popularity
For making movies Rated X
Posing for a magazine, picture in a limousine
Someone simulating sex
Never thought that she could be
Lonely with her vanity
Wasted days and lonely nights
Working for the sugar man
Make each other happy man
Cause satisfaction's guaranteed all night
Drinking champagne is a past time
Making hot love is a main line
Money buys love and a wild time
Making hot love is a main line
Hot Love!
She wakes up, and breaks up
And wonders why love is unkind
She waits up, and makes up
And looks in the mirror to find
Pink champagne and diamond rings
Fascinating bright young things
Dancing at the discotechs
Starring from the silver screen
See you in a midnight dream - Rated X
Drinking champagne is a past time

Dont Let It Show
If it's getting harder to face everyday
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me
Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it show
Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there
But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you
Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it show
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me
Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it show
Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care

So Sincere
We say I love you and we're so sincere
I look in your eyes and it becomes quite clear
You want what I want, you need what I need
When I turn to leave
You plead, and plead, and plead, and plead, and plead
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
Now I'm sure I'm right and I'm so sincere
You convince me I'm wrong with a single tear
You want me so badly, you can't live without me
When I turn to leave
You bleed, and bleed, and bleed, and plead, and plead
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're livin' so fast we're not living at all
Two sparrows tied together will always fall
We know we love each other so there's nothin' to prove
But I'm gonna smother if somebody don't move
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
I look in your eyes and it becomes quite clear
You want what I want, you need what I need
When I turn to leave
You plead, and plead, and plead, and plead, and plead
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
Now I'm sure I'm right and I'm so sincere
You convince me I'm wrong with a single tear
You want me so badly, you can't live without me

We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're so sincere
We're livin' so fast we're not living at all

In the Heat of the Night is the debut studio album by American singer Pat Benatar, released on August 27, 1979, by Chrysalis Records. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 for the week ending October 20, 1979, peaking at No. 12 in March 1980, almost six months after its release.
The album includes "Heartbreaker", her breakthrough single in the United States (where it reached the top 25), Canada and New Zealand (it reached the top 20 in both those countries). "Heartbreaker" was the third single released from the album, as neither the first single, Benatar's version of "I Need a Lover", or the second single, her rendition of "If You Think You Know How to Love Me", charted in the US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
In the Heat of the Night also contained "We Live for Love", which became Benatar's first top-10 entry in any country when it rose to No. 8 in Canada, while also reaching the top 30 in the US, New Zealand and Australia, her first sizable hit in the latter. In France, "We Live for Love" reached the top 40, although "Rated X" had previously reached the French top 30. In the Netherlands and Belgium, Benatar's rendition of "I Need a Lover" charted within the top 30.
On Billboard magazine's 1980 year-end top pop albums chart, In the Heat of the Night was listed at No. 7. The album also reached No. 3 in Canada, No. 8 in New Zealand, and No. 25 in Australia.
