© (P) All Songs/ Lyrics Written By Kris Hadlock  2006 - 7800 Degree Music (ASCAP) - All Rights Reserved

I'M YOUR ROCK ‘N’ ROLL (TONIGHT)
VERSE 1
Light em up
If you got em
Because I’m about to take control
Raise it up and see who salutes it
It’s time to Hadlock and Roll
Rock ‘n’ Rolla Coca Cola
The circus has come to town
So now you better pay attention
Don’t end up in the lost and found
“Hear what I’m Sayin”
 
CHORUS
Kneel before me
I’m your rock ‘n’ roll tonight (tonight)
Just follow my lead
And everything will be all right (All right)
I do it my way
I don’t care if it’s wrong or right (tonight)
I’m your rock ‘n’ roll tonight
 
VERSE 2
We turn it up to eleven
We are in total control
Once you enter the arena
Let all your inhibitions go
One last thing I’ll leave with you
Never kiss and tell
Know when to shout at the devil
Wouldn’t want to see you in hell
“It’s the game we’re playin’”
  
BRIDGE
Can you feel my heartbeat
Are you on the edge of your seat (Don’t Fall)
I am who you made me
Do you want to touch me (Now)
GETTING OVER YOU
VERSE 1
So I never could be
Who ya wanted me to be
And I know it doesn’t matter anymore
All the times that you tried
All the tears in your eyes
Who I became I don’t know 
PRE
Times runnin’ out on me
Who am I supposed to be
Without you
 
CHORUS
Getting over you
is the hardest thing I ever had to do
Time and time again
I let it all fall apart for you
. . . . . and our lives
 
VERSE 2
All my mistakes
I’m bringing on the Heartbreak
Love don’t live here no more
What you wanted for me
Now it’s too late and I see
What could have been I’ll never know
 
PRE
Times runnin’ out on me
Who am I supposed to be
Without you
 
CHORUS
Getting over you
is the hardest thing I ever had to do
Time and time again
I let it all fall apart for you
. . . . . and our lives
 
BRIDGE
So when it comes down to it
I know I’m the one who blew it
Never listened to anyone
And now you tell me we’re over
Don’t think it could get much colder
Our flame has died out
 
-solo-
 
 PRE
Times runnin’ out on me
Who am I supposed to be
Without you
 
CHORUS
Getting over you
is the hardest thing I ever had to do
Time and time again
I let it all fall apart for you
. . . . . and our lives
END
 
JERSEY GIRL
VERSE 1
The first time I ever saw your face
I was going to cut the cord
And hope that I didn’t faint
Can’t describe how this feels inside
To protect you
I’d give my own life
And now it all makes sense to me
 
PRE 1
Now I see,   I can see,   I see
 
CHORUS
You know you rule my world
You’re my everything
My Jersey Girl
I will love you till the end of time
And you’ll always be mine (Forever)
 
VERSE 2
Everytime I look at you
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
Sittin outside of heaven’s gate
I thought I had lost all my faith
But now you’re everything to me
 
PRE 2
And I believe,   baby I believe,   I believe
 
BRIDGE
Never knew I wanted you
The hell I put your mother through
Had a lot of growin’ up to do
Thank god she let me stay
Now everyday I get up
You’re the first thing I think of
Never felt love like
When you put your arms around me (my baby)
 
PRE 3
I love you,   I love you,   I love you
 
STAY GOLD
VERSE 1
Woke up this morning
To our song on the radio
And it really made me want to cry
It made me remember
All the times we shared
And how time has passed each of us by
 
VERSE 2
Why you never told me
That you were leaving
And you never even said goodbye
I never found out
Until it was too late
I need you to know-
That’s why I wasn’t there in time
 
CHORUS
I’m so sorry that you felt all alone
And this cruel world turned your heart to stone
After they made you they broke the mold
No matter where you are - - STAY GOLD
 
 
BRIDGE
The sum is more important
than all of the parts
Even if it means you have to die for your art
I can feel you watchin’ over me
Gone is the pain. . . you are free
 
VERSE 3
I thought about going down
The time has come to talk to you
Am I talking to myself or am I getting through
Can’t think about tomorrow, gotta live today
Have to let you go
I hope you’ll forgive me

LOST
VERSE 1
To hear this song on the radio
See my face up on the big screen
Host my own talk show
Make the cover of people magazine
 
PRE
Can’t find my way
Yet I tried so hard
I got the audition
But I didn’t get the part
 
CHORUS
I’m lost so lost
Where do I go from here
Done everything but sell my soul
So many wasted years
So many wasted years
 
VERSE 2
Twenty some years of rehearsing 
Shootin’ strait from the hip
Betting on the Hollywood Ending
The trend on the Jett set
 
BRIDGE
I went the distance       
But there’s no points for second place
It’s not about how good you are
It’s about bein’ in the right place
. . . . At the right time
 
VERSE 3           
My headshot is faded
L.A. cancelled my show
If this dream is really over
Then why can’t I let it go
HOW MANY TIMES
VERSE 1
Trying so hard to be who you want to be
Think you forgot the person that you sold to me
Sorry you stayed to waste your life away
Didn’t think it would ever end up this way
 
CHORUS
How many times
Did I pick up all the pieces
How many times
Did you push me away
How many times
Can I shield you from the horror
How many times
When you were never there for me
 
VERSE 2
You made me feel free ages ago
The time has come to let it all go
Some things are meant to be forever
And some are just shout term pleasures
 
 
 

 

CATCH ME (I’M FALLIN’)
VERSE 1
Your emotions have faded
Your feelings seem to hide
You think love’s just a fairytale
So you let it pass you by
That night when you were standing
All alone in the crowd
A quick glance, a crazy feeling
I knew you’d love me somehow
 
CHORUS
Can you catch me I’m fallin’
Down on my knees
Can you hear my heart callin’
Out to you please
If this is forever
Then forever will be
Catch me I’m fallin’
 
VERSE 2
Months seemed to pass
But I can still your eyes
As I thought to myself
You never really said goodbye
That night in your room
Talking about what we both didn’t need
I couldn’t find the door
Because I didn’t want to leave
 
CHORUS
 
SOLO
 
VERSE 3
Now I think to myself
As I’m holding your hand
We were made for each other
In this fairytale land
So, after all of your sorrow
And all of your pain
I want you to know
No one will ever hurt you again
 
CHORUS
 
OUT

 

HEART’S DESIRE
VERSE 1
About last night
I’ve watched it a thousand times
And I always felt that
Love was never on my side
Such a pending question
To be or not to be
In the pursuit of happiness
Only the pursuit is guaranteed
 
PRE
I stole your heart
And I ain’t never letting go
Gonna keep it under lock ‘n’ key
 
CHORUS
Woah – you’re my heart’s desire
Woah – my best friend
Woah – you set my soul on fire
Woah – Kiss me again
 
VERSE 2
Slippery when wet
Spun it a thousand times
So many messages
You must have the strength from deep inside
Who what were when ‘n’ why
Is that the question
You’re my answer girl
My drug is your affection

HOLD ON
VERSE 1
Did you ever try so hard
But you fell on your face
Things don’t ever happen over night
You must believe, keep the faith
 
 PRE 1
You know it’s all up to you
There’s not a lot anyone else can do
But if you take my hand I’ll pull you through
And baby please just
  
CHORUS
Hold on, Hold on, baby Hold on
Cause our faith is strong
And we will go on
So just Hold on
  
VERSE 2
If I told you what I’ve learned
You probably wouldn’t listen to me
Ain’t it funny how life goes around
It’s not who you are, but who you want to be
  
PRE 2
Just like the red, white and blue
That passion burns deep inside of you
If you stick to your guns
Take it on the run
You’ll be the next one
  
CHORUS
Hold on, Hold on, baby Hold on
Cause our faith is strong
And we will go on
So just Hold on
 
BRIDGE
You’re the toast of the town
Ain’t messin’ around
Don’t let no one tell ya different
Stand up and shout
Let yourself out
Don’t stop believin’
 
-solo-
 
CHORUS
Hold on, Hold on, baby Hold on
Cause our faith is strong
And we will go on
So just Hold on
ONCE AGAIN
CHORUS
Take me back once again
To the place I remember
When we were all friends
Where time stood still
And the good time would never end
Never end (Bob)
 
VERSE 1
Did you ever wake up one day
And say who the hell am I
How did I get to this place
It makes me want to cry
How did I become
What I said I’d never be
Gotta break these chains
Set my self free
 
VERSE 2
Got everything I could possibly want
Always something better it’s never enough
Been a long long time a hell of a while
Give all that I had just to see your smile
  
BRIDGE
Like a long cold winter leaves nothing alive
My heart has frozen – I feel empty inside
All I am I’d never want you to see
How do I get out of bein’ me
 
(-Take me back) Before Solo

 

EMMY
VERSE 1
She’s a tinsel town girl
At the top of the hills
Watchin’ the sunset on the Blvd.
When your walking down the street
If you look between your feet
You might just see her star
 
PRE
This moment in time
Just happens to be mine
And for you I walk the line
A real class act
Can’t believe its me
You’re the one I wanted
Since I was 3
 
CHORUS
Emmy won’t you walk
down the red carpet with me
Emmy you’re the one
everybody wants to be
Once I picked her up
Couldn’t put her down
My feet feel like they’ve left the ground
Cause she’s Emmy
A Shining star for life
 
VERSE 2
Lights Camera Action
You’re an A list attraction
This part was custom written for you
Just look for the search lights
You’re on entertainment tonight
Even Oscar is pullin for you
 
VERSE 3
Makeup and hair, why do they all stare
I think that’s your name in lights
Before the show, you stop of at Leno’s
It’s not enough to be nominated tonight
Cause she’s Emmy-- A shining star for life

 

Don’t Let Go
CHORUS
Let Go
Of the Pain that’s deep in your heart
Let go
Of the things that tear your world apart
Let go
Of what was not meant to be
Just don’t, please don’t
Let go of me
 
VERSE 1
Like it never happened
Cause I said it was so
I’ve done this to myself
I’m about to lose all control
Can’t put the bottle down
I need it to numb my pain
My fall from grace
Burn on the flame
  
PRE 1 & PRE 2
1Oooh I can’t stop running
2I’ve made a fool of myself
1Oooh I feel the end I coming       
2I can’t blame no one else
1Oooh If I only could               
2pick up the pieces of my life
1Know that I should     
2Don’t give up the fight
 
VERSE 2
Someone once told me
It’s all in your head
That all the bad things
Will turn out better in the end
No place no show put it all to win
It’s just my horse never came in
 
BRIDGE
Everyone falls
No one is perfect
No matter what they say
Yesterday’s over
Gotta search for tomorrow
Wish I had someone to hold on to

 

WE WON
VERSE 1
You know there ain’t no I in team
Do you know just what that means
Offense is the key
Bring on the war machine
Defenders of the faith
This is our place
 
BRIDGE 1
Unsportsmanlike conduct
Ain’t no way to get along
This all feels so right
How does it feel
To be so wrong (you’re gone)
 
VERSE 2
It’s Quarter four
And you can’t take no more
See ya at the finish  
Baby you’ve been scored
Feel like you went in
Through the out door
 
PRE
Cause “HERE WE COME” (4x)
 
CHORUS
We were under the gun
And we won
Had you in our sights
And on the run
Had a blast
Kickin’ Your ass
It was over before it begun
We were under the gun
And we won
 
BRIDGE 2
The time has come
To rain on your parade
Actions speak louder than words
So that’s all we’re
Going to say
 
VERSE 3
We’re so sorry
Our pleasure’s your pain
It’s a 5150
You’d think we’re completely insane
And I promise you
You’ll remember our name
 
VERSE 4
It’s time to step up
Ain’t gonna take no shit
What you see
Is what you’re gonna get
You may not take the fall
But you’re gonna get hit
