Everything you do you do so right
The clothes you buy are awfully nice
You wear your image bullet-proof
Your stocks are always thru the roof

You make me feel so stupid
Make me feel stupid

And you grew up, made in the sun
They all loved you from Day 1
You always remembered everyone's name
You always won the guessin' games, ooh yeah

You made me feel so stupid
Made me feel stupid
And I'm not gonna take it anymore
Not gonna take it anymore

You always pick the perfect wine
Your money is sho nuff greeener than mine
Your wit pours out when you open your mouth
My hometown is smaller than your house

You make me feel so stupid
Make me feel stupid
And I'm not gonna take it anymore
Not gonna take it anymore

DO YOU WANNA BE MY BABY?
Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Gessle Music 1997

I saw you rushin' down the street
People were pushin' in the heat
Well, I was stuck behind the wheel
I guess y'all know how it feels

Well, I was tryin' to keep your pace
You kicked me flat out on my face
You sent me cravin' on the moon
Up to the air like a balloon

How come you're lookin' so good?
How come you're lookin' so fine?
I wasn't ready for you
Well, I was just passin' time

Do you do you do you do you
Do you wanna be my baby?
Do you do you do you do you
Do you wanna be my baby?
I really gotta know, oh oh
I really gotta know, oh oh

It's really tricky to explain
It's really crazy to stay sane
Some things they happen really fast
Some things are born and bred to last

How come you're lookin' so cool?
How come you're lookin' so fine?
No one is ready for you
I'm only passin' my time

Do you do you do you do you
Do you wanna be my baby?
Do you do you do you do you
Do you wanna be my baby? (wanna be my girl)
I really gotta know, oh oh
I really gotta know, oh oh

I really have to know, oh oh
Really wanna know, oh oh

SATURDAY

It's Saturday and I'm sleepin' late again
Goin' down on a dream
It's Saturday - Kickin' the workin' week away
Is the greatest thing
It's a perfect day
In a perfect world
Such a perfect day
What a perfect world

It's Saturday and it's rainin' constantly
It's the best God can do
It's Saturday and the man on the TV-screen
Wanna sell me some shoes
It's a perfect day
In a perfect world
Such a perfect day
What a perfect world

Saturday
I'm not too sure if I'm laughin' or cryin'
Saturday
I'm tryin' to find a space of my own

It's Saturday and I'm sleepin' late again
Oh the joy that it brings
It's Saturday - Kickin' the workin' week away
Is the greatest thing
It's a perfect day
In a perfect world
Such a perfect day
What a perfect world

Saturday
I'm not too sure if I'm laughin'or cryin'
Saturday
I'm tryin' to find some space on my own
I'm tryin' to find some space on my own

KIX

Published by Gessle Music 1997

All around the world you go
All around the world you go
All around the world you go
The more you go
The less you know, hey baby
You'll never stand a chance

All you're lookin' for is somebody to feed you
All you're lookin' for is something in the air
All you're gettin' are some trash to breathe
The more you leave
The more we love you, baby
Why should you stand a chance?

All that you love
All that you need
You came in for kix
All that you love
All that you need
You came here for kix

You're a super accident
You're a major accident
Everybody's tryin' to pay the rent
-"Out she went!"
It's heaven sent, hey baby
You'll never understand

All that you love
All that you need
You came in for kix
You're workin' so hard
On your demand
It's all about kix

It's not that funny, is it?
It's not that funny, is it?
It's not that funny...funny...

All that you love
All that you need
You came in for kix
You're workin' so hard
On your demand
It's all about kix

All that you love
All that you dig
You came in for kix
It's all in your head
It's all in your blood
It's all about kix

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

Ever since I saw you
Entering my world
Life has really changed
To diamonds and pearls
I'm tryin' to take it slow
Just goin' with the flow

I want you to know
I want you to stay
Don't go

Every day's the same
Like cracks on the wall
But everytime I meet you
All walls start to fall
But I'm tryin' to take things slow
Just goin' with the flow

I want you to know
I want you to stay
Don't go

I want you to know
I'm comin' your way
Don't go

I want you to know
I want you to stay
Don't go

I want you to know
I want you today
Don't go

REPORTER

Board a plane to Kathmandu
Talk to indians in Peru
Find out how the fire went
Was it all an accident?

Trace a modern voodoo chile
maybe Jimi's still alive
Retrospective, big intrigue
The early 80's, The Human League

She's such a good reporter - workin' for a magazine
She's such a good reporter - got a big editorial dream

Take the government to court
Is the Mayor really bought?
Who went to the Hockney show?
Michael Cain, Brigitte Bardot
Ol' Lee Harvey will never die
CIA or the FBI?
Feed sir Santa's nose a tissue
Centerfold, the x-mas issue

She's such a good reporter - workin' for a magazine
She's such a good reporter - got a big editorial dream
She's such a good reporter - watchin' from the trampoline
She's such a good reporter - keepin' her desk very clean

She wants political operations
She wants porno queen sensations
She wants wanted men's discriptions
And some celebrity addictions
She wants access to the ANC
She wants lunch with British Royalty
She wants the management to tell her where
She can interview Marie and Per

Shes such a good reporter...

Keepin' her ass very clean
Keepin' her nose very clean
Keepin' her laundry clean
Oooh ooh

Be anyone you wanna be
Be anyone you wanna be
But baby, if you come as you are
That's alright with me

Everybody wants to be someone else
Everybody wants to change their name and face
Everybody wants to be on TV
Everybody knows that 1+1=3

Be anyone you wanna be
Be anyone you wanna be
But baby, if you come as you are
That's alright with me

Everybody wants to be a man of the world
Everybody wants to watch the poor little rich girl
Everybody wants to sow the perfect seed
Everybody wants to be what everybody needs

Be anyone you wanna be
Be anyone you wanna be
But baby, if you come as you are
That's alright with me

Everybody wants to change their shirts and ties
Everybody wants the truth behind all lies

I can stay all night
Just to watch your eyes

Everybody wants invisibility
My mother still wants Ringo to come on over for tea

Be anyone you wanna be
Be anyone you wanna be
But baby, if you come as you are
That's alright with me

Everybody wants to change their shirts and ties
Everybody wants the truth behind all lies

WISH YOU THE BEST
Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Gessle Music 1997

Stay forever
Stay a little while
I'm pleased to see you
I'm pleased to see you smile
September clouds
Shaped just like shells
September rain
Should fall somewhere else

It's been a long time
A lonely long time for me
I've missed your body
I've missed your company
There was a girl
Who looked just like you

There were some nights
You passed thru my room
And I walk around this small town
Like small town people do
You would never stay for long
Always passin' thru

Shine forever
Shine a little while
I'm pleased to see you
I'm pleased to see you smile
This distant dream
It might as well rest
I wish you peace
I wish you the best

Wherever you'll go
Whatever you 'll do
I wish you the best

ELVIS IN GERMANY (Let's Celebrate!)
Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Gessle Music 1997

The sky was clear, it was a beautiful day
The King arrived in such a glamorous way
Women ravin' wavin' hands in the air
Men were cheerin', children started to stare
The King he said he was the luckiest guy
He finally had made it to the European side
Then the orchestra got ready to play
Another song from The Glorious Days

Oh boy, did he look good in green!
Oh boy, did he did he look good in green!
Oh boy!

Hey! Let's celebrate
The nation's joinin' in (I'll tell you all about it)
Hey! Let's party on
The whole world's joinin' in

These were the days of peace in our hearts
No Major Tom was to be seen in the charts
No Sgt Pepper was found in your home
Just Colonel Parker countin' money alone
The King he said he was a fortunate guy
Then he smiled and made every girl cry
Cos they all knew that this was the end
That things would never be quite the same again

Oh boy, did he look good in green!
Oh boy, did he did he look good in green!
Oh boy!

Hey! Let's celebrate
The nation's joinin' in (I'll tell you all about it)
Hey! Let's party on
The whole world's joinin' in
With Elvis

T-T-T-TAKE IT!
Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Gessle Music 1997

She is such a good girl
Livin' down the street
Workin' in the diner
At the local brewery
She's married to this man
For reasons I can only guess
He always beats her up
And turns her face into a mess

I'm watchin' from the outside
Outside lookin' in
Watchin' from the outside

T-T-T-Take it!
T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone
When you walk out that door, honey, you're on your own
Hey, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone

Sometimes when it's rainin'
She doesn't go to work
She's lookin' at some pictures
Of her dad who was a clerk
She's puttin' on a record
From the spring of '65
She's dancin' by herself
With big faraway eyes

I'm watchin' from the outside
Outside lookin' in
Watchin' from the outside

T-T-T-Take it!
T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone
When you walk out that door, honey, you're on your own
You'll be glad when he's buried and gone
Yea, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone

Take it away, go back home
Take it away, won't you please go back home

I'LL BE ALRIGHT
Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Gessle Music 1997

If you ever leave me
If you ever let me down
If you ever tell me
You don't want my love around

I'll be alright
You gave me the best years of my life
And a girl like you is very hard to find
So everything will be alright

People change, I know it
It's a most natural thing
And if you want to show it
You don't owe me anything

I'll be alright
I had the moments of my life
All I need is a little time to cry
Then everything will be alright

Take it easy, baby
I wouldn't change a thing (anything about it)
After all, honey
I don't regret anything

I'll be alright
You gave me the finest things in life
And a love like that is very hard to find
So everything will be alright
You gave me the best years of my life
A love like that is very hard to find
So everything will be alright

THERE IS MY BABY
Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Gessle Music 1997

I drive home late at night
Real tired
Got the radio blastin' high
I kill an hour on the freeway
It's so easy
Cos I know what's waitin' for me
I park the car on the yard
Got my key in the right direction
And suddenly she appears
In front of me like 1-2-3

There is my baby
There is my girl
And she looks so fine
Best thing that ever happened in my life

Sometimes I feel so alone
All destroyed
Cryin' like a baby boy
She puts her arms around me
Then she kisses me
And tell me stupid little things I adore
In this old town you're bound to lose
I was the one with my mouth shut down
So there's no real reason for this dream
To be there fo me, to be there for me, hey

There is my baby
There is my girl
And she looks so fine
Best thing that ever happened in my life

In this small town you're bound to lose
I was the one with my mouth shut down
There's just one real reality
Waitin' there ahead of me

There is my baby
There is my girl
And she look so fine
Best thing that ever happened in my life
Yes, she look so fine
Best thing that ever happened in my life
Yes, she looks so fine
God, she looks so fine

LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS
Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Gessle Music 1997

Babe, it feels like I've known you forever
You're a most peculiar girl
You seem to belong to a different world

And whatever you're thinkin' about me
Whatever you've heard around town
This time it's for real, the deal is all done

Lay down your arms
Right from the start
I'm out to make sure
I'll capture your heart
Lay it all down
When my love is comin' around

Whatever you planned for this summer
Whatever you read in my palm
There's no lookin' back, babe, surrender your heart, yea yea yea

Lay down your arms
Right from the start
I'm out to make sure
I'll capture your heart
Lay it all down
When my love is comin' around
Comin' around

Lay down your arms
Right from the start
I'm out to connect
To capture your heart
Lay it all down
When my love is comin' around
Comin' around

LOVE DOESN'T LIVE HERE
Words & Music by Per Gessle
Published by Gessle Music 1997

I wake up each day
I wanna sleep that day away
I catch a train
In the rush hour rain
Some people are talkin' to me
I don't care what they say

Cos I know
Love doesn't live here now you've gone away
Love doesn't live here but I'm left to stay
And I thought it was me and you who gave it all
Yes, I thought it was me and you who couldn't fall
But it's all over now
Over now

Friends on the phone
Life is good, life goes on
But I spend my days
In a heart broken haze
Of movies and lonely tunes
Every song seems to be about you

Oh oh
Love doesn't live here since you went away
Love doesn't live here but I'm left to stay
And I thought you and me we were the chosen ones
Yes I thought you and me sailed into the sun
But it's gone, it's over now

Do you ever think about it?
Do you want to talk about it with me?

Love doesn't live here since you went away
Love doesn't live here but I'm left to stay
And I thought it was me and you who had it all
Yes I thought it was me and you who stood so tall
But it's all over now
Yes it's all over now
Over now
