Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy
When you know the rules
It's so easy
All you have to do
Is fall in love
Play the game
Everybody play the game of love, yeah

When you're feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life
Don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game, yeah
Everybody play the game of love, oooh yeah

My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping through my veins (play the game)
Driving me insane

Play the game, play the game
Play the game, play the game

Play the game
Everybody play the game of love
This is your life
Don't play hard to get

All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game, yeah

Lyrics:
Ooh, let's go

Steve walks wearily down the street
With his brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat, yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm gonna get along
Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the door way the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Hey
Oh, take it
Bites the dust
Bites the dust, yeah

Hey
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow
Another one bites the dust, hey, hey
Another one bites the dust, hey

Ooh, shout

There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down, yeah
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat
So, yeah, yeah, yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Shoot up, ay hey
Alright

'Small Soldiers' Film Version Lyrics:
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Hey

Shoot up, hey
Alright

Need Your Loving Tonight
Track 4. Written by John Deacon. Album Version 2:48

Lyrics:
Yeah
Hey, hey, hey

No, I'll never look back in anger
No, I'll never find me an answer
You promised me you'd keep in touch
I read your letter and it hurt me so much
I said I'd never, never be angry with you

I don't wanna feel like a stranger, no
'Cos I'd rather stay out of danger
I read your letter so many times
I got your meaning between the lines
I said I'd never, never be angry with you

I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
I only hope, as time goes on, I won't forget her
My body's aching, can't sleep at night
I'm too exhausted to start a fight
And if I see her with another guy
I'll eat my heart out 'cos I love, love, love, love her

Come on baby, let's get together
I'll love you baby, I'll love you forever
I'm trying hard to stay away
What made you change, what did I say
Ooh, I need your loving tonight

Ooh, I need your loving
Ooh, I need your loving
Ooh, I need your loving tonight (oooh, loving, tooo)
Hit me

Ooh, I need your loving tonight

No, I'll never look back in anger
No, I'll never find me an answer
Gave me no warning, how could I guess
I'll have to learn to forgive and forget

Ooh, I need your loving
Ooh, I need your loving
Ooh, I need your loving tonight

Lyrics:
This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo, woo)
It jives (woo, woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish (oooh, oooh)
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

Yeah

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat (ah-um), hitch hike (ah-um)
And take a long ride on my motorbike (oooh, oooh)
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready (oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)
Crazy little thing called love

Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah), ma
Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)
Crazy little thing called love (yeah, yeah)

Hey, little babe your changing
Babe are you feeling sore?
Ain't no use in pretending
You don't wanna play no more

It's plain that you ain't no baby
What would your mother say?
You're all dressed up like a lady
How come you behave this way, hey

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
Love you half as much as me

My heart is always with you
No matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister
Always be in love with you

Forgive me for what I told you
My heart makes a fool of me
Oooh, you know I'll never hold you
I know that you gotta be free, yeah

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
Love you half as much as me
Take it any way you want it
But when they let you down my friend (oooh, oooh)
Sail away sweet sister
Back to my arms again

Hot child, don't you know, you're young
You got your whole life ahead of you
And ooh, you can throw it away to soon
Way too soon, ah, ah, yeah

Sail away sweet sister
Sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody
Gonna love you half as much as me, yeah

My heart is always with you
No matter what you do (oooh, oooh)

Lyrics:
It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
How I cried

Years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
I love you 'til I die

Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, save me (ooooh)
I'm naked and I'm far from home

The slate will soon be clean
I'll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love

I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I'm cold inside
I have no real intent

Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, ohhh
I'm naked and I'm far from home

Each night I cry, I still believe the lie
I love you, 'til I die

(Save me, save me, save me)
Yeah
(Yeah, save me), yeah (save me) oooh save me
Don't let me face my life alone

Save me, save me, save me, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
I'm naked and I'm far from home

Lyrics:
Oh, oooh

They were talking in whispers
In bearskins and fur
Captain Scott and his heroes to be
To have laboured so long
To have made it this far

Oooh, it's been such a long ride
Oooh, you know it's been a long way
For a human, human, human
For a human body, can you see
Can you believe, it happens now, it happens here?
Do you believe, do you believe, or really care?
Can you believe, it happens now, it happens here?
To a human, human
With a human body, can you see?

There ain't nobody
Gets out of this movie alive

Today, we're surprisingly fair

Oooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oooh-oooh

We've got problems the lone ranger can't fix
The invisible man couldn't see
It takes a tough guy to learn some new tricks

Oooh, it takes such a long time
Oooh, you know it's been such a long way
For a human, human, human
For a human body, do you see?
Can you believe, it happens now, it happens here?
Do you believe, do you believe, or really care?
Can you believe, it happens now, it happens here?
To a human, human
To a human body - do you see?

You know it's been such a long ride (it's been such a long ride)
It takes such a long time (it takes such a long time)
It's been such a long way (it's been such a long way)
It's been such a long ride (it's been such a long ride)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's gonna be a long ride
