[Intro]
Soft light in the room
Your sweater on my chair
Coffee going cold
But I don’t care
[Verse 1]
You trace circles on the table
Like you’re drawing out your doubt
Little laugh that hides the tremble
When you say you’re burning out
All the miles you keep inside you
All the nights you overthink
I just sit and watch the way
Your fingers shake around your drink
[Chorus]
In your eyes
I see the storms you never name
Every scar
Every quiet
Hidden flame
You don’t have to stand alone
You don’t have to act so strong
In your eyes
I already see you belong
(I already see you)
[Verse 2]
You say love is just a rumor
Something people talk about
Every promise turns to paper
Every sure thing twists to doubt
But I’ve seen you help a stranger
Stay up late for friends who cried
How can you believe that you
Are the one left untried?
[Pre-Chorus]
You look down
Like the floor might fall away
I lean in
I don’t blink
I stay
[Chorus]
In your eyes
I see the storms you never name
Every scar
Every quiet
Hidden flame
You don’t have to stand alone
You don’t have to act so strong
In your eyes
I already see you belong
(you belong, you belong)
[Bridge]
All the times you almost called me
All the words you never sent
All the nights you held your breath
Till the morning finally bent
If your world comes crashing loudly
If your hands forget their grace
I will sit beside the damage
Let you break in my embrace
[Bridge]
If the past feels like a prison
If the future feels too wide
Let this moment be the middle
Where you finally step inside
I will learn each shadowed corner
Of the story you don’t tell
I will kiss the smallest fragments
Till you recognize yourself (oh)
[Chorus]
In your eyes
I see the storms you never name
Every scar
Every quiet
Hidden flame
You don’t have to stand alone
You don’t have to act so strong
In your eyes
I already see you belong
[Outro]
So when your courage starts to crumble
And your careful mirror lies
I’ll turn your face toward the window
Let the morning fill your sight
And I’ll whisper
Barely breathing
As the dark around you dies
You were always something holy
I can see it
In your eyes
[Intro (ruhige Clean-Gitarre)]
Ich erinnere mich noch genau
an den Staub auf dem Schulhof
an Blicke, die dich zerreißen
bevor du überhaupt fällst
[Verse 1]
Ich war der Junge in der letzten Reihe
hab gelernt, wie man schweigt
hab gelernt, wie man einsteckt
und trotzdem weitergeht
Jeder Schlag hat Spuren hinterlassen
jeder Tag ein kleines Stück genommen
doch irgendwo tief in mir
hat etwas angefangen zu brennen
[Pre-Chorus]
Und ich hab mir geschworen
wenn die Welt so bleibt wie sie ist
dann werd ich mich ändern
bis mich keiner mehr vergisst
[Chorus]
Ich hab gelernt stark zu sein
hab das Feuer tief in mir entfacht
aus den Schatten ins Licht
durch die dunkelste Nacht
Ich hab gelernt aufzustehen
egal wie oft man mich zerbricht
heute steh ich hier und schrei
du kriegst mich nicht!
[Verse 2]
Ich war nicht allein auf diesem Weg
hab Brüder gefunden im Lärm
wir hatten nichts außer Wut
und den Willen, uns zu wehren
Aus 'ner Bande wurde eine Stimme
aus der Angst ein lauter Klang
heute stehen wir zusammen
und keiner hält uns mehr auf
[Pre-Chorus]
Wir haben uns erhoben
aus Staub und aus Zorn
was uns damals gebrochen hat
hat uns heute neu gebor’n
[Chorus]
Wir haben gelernt stark zu sein
haben das Feuer nie verloren
aus den Schatten ins Licht
wie neu gebor’n
Wir haben gelernt aufzustehen
und wir fallen nicht mehr zurück
heute stehen wir hier und schrei’n
das ist unser Stück!
[Guitar Solo (episch, hymnisch, viel Gefühl)]
[Bridge]
Doch hör mir zu – ich hab’s gesehen
wie schnell sich alles dreht
heute bist du oben
morgen bist du der, der fleht
Vergiss nie, wo du herkommst
vergiss nie, wie es war
als du der warst, der gefallen ist
und keiner für dich da war
Die Schwachen sind nicht schwach für immer
das hab ich selbst bewiesen
und wenn du zu viele Feinde hast
wirst auch du irgendwann verlieren
[Final Chorus]
Also lern stark zu sein
doch vergiss dein Herz dabei nicht
denn wahre Stärke zeigt sich
wenn du niemanden zerbrichst
Lern aufzustehen
doch tritt nicht auf die, die fall’n
denn aus jedem leisen Schatten
kann ein Donner erschall’n!
[Outro (ruhiger werdend, dann großer letzter Akkord)]
Ich war der Junge von damals
jetzt steh ich hier im Licht
und wenn du mich heute fragst
vergess ich dich nicht…
[Verse 1]
You light the fire just to watch it burn
You follow noise but you never learn
You raise your voice in an empty fight
But I see through in the dead of night
You call it strength when you lose control
You trade your truth for a louder role
But I won’t march to a hollow sound
I stand my ground when you drag me down
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “Come on, just play along”
But I’ve been quiet for too damn long
[Chorus]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny
[Verse 2]
If you numb your mind just to feel alive
I’ll keep my head, I don’t need that high
If you laugh while the weak ones fall
I’ll take the hit, I will take them all
You swing your fists just to prove your name
But I won’t play in your dirty game
I’ll be the shield in the pouring rain
I take the scars, but I keep my flame
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “Be tough, don’t think it through”
But I’ve got something stronger than you
[Chorus]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny
[Bridge]
Shout your slogans, scream your hate
I won’t echo, I won’t translate
I’ll ask questions, face to face
Not hide behind a nameless rage
You draw your lines in black and white
But I still see the shades in light
I’d rather stand and take the blame
Than lose myself to win your game
[Solo Section – slow build, then explosive]
[Verse 3]
I’m not your enemy, don’t get it wrong
But I won’t follow where you don’t belong
There’s more to strength than a crushing hand
Sometimes it’s choosing to take a stand
Not every fight is won with steel
Sometimes the truth is what you feel
And I won’t trade that for your applause
Or break my soul for your twisted cause
[Final Chorus – bigger, layered vocals]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny
[Outro]
You can shout until you’re blue
You can do what you will do
But I choose a different way
And I won’t betray
What I know inside is true—
So I stand, and I break through
I refuse.
I say no.
I deny.

[Intro - grand piano playing some chords, then introducing rhythm and then the melody]
[Verse 1]
The winter coat is packed away
The last gray cloud is gone
The world is waking up today
And puttin' party shoes on
I saw a basket on the shelf
And had a crazy thought
Why wait for Sunday morning, hon?
Let's start the fun right now
[Pre-Chorus]
Forget the chocolate eggs for just a minute
I got a different kind of treat in it
[Chorus]
It's the Easter Bunny Rock
A little silly, a little funny
The hop is in my heart, not just my feet
Let's change our mood to sunny
I'm your bunny, you're my bunny, honey
Yeah, that's the only kind of money
That I need to make it sweet
On this Easter Bunny beat
[Verse 2]
We're not the kids on sugar highs
Chasing plastic grass
We've earned a couple wrinkled eyes
And we know how to laugh
We've been so serious for years
With bills and grown-up plans
But right here in the kitchen, dear
I'll listen to my heart… with fuzzy ears
[Pre-Chorus]
Forget the perfect brunch for just a minute
I got a different kind of treat in it
[Chorus]
It's the Easter Bunny Rock
A little silly, a little funny
The hop is in my heart, not just my feet
Let's change our mood to sunny
I'm your bunny, you're my bunny, honey
Yeah, that's the only kind of money
That I need to make it sweet
On this Easter Bunny beat
[Bridge]
And if the neighbors peek through the window blind
They'll see two fools who've lost their mind
But we don't care, we're doin' fine
Just hoppin' right on time
'Cause bein' grown don't mean bein' stone
When love is this well-known
Oh yeah!
[Instrumental break - grand piano solo, very fast, skilled player]
[Final Chorus (big & fast)]
Yeah, it's the Easter Bunny Rock!
So delightfully funny!
The hop is in my heart, not just my feet
Let's change our mood to sunny!
I'm your bunny, you're my bunny, honey!
Yeah, that's the only kind of money!
Let the whole world think it's funny!
We're just gettin' started, sunny!
On this Easter Bunny Rock!
[Outro]
(Hop, hop, hop…)
I'm your bunny…
(Hop, hop, hop…)
Yeah, you're my bunny, honey…
(Hop… hop…)
Easter Bunny Rock.
[Intro (E-guitar solo, introducing the melody)]
[Verse 1]
I see you every morning, just passing by
You give a little smile, I don't know why
We talk about the weather, the usual stuff
But I never say enough, never say enough
[Verse 2]
You tell me 'bout your weekend, your friends, your plans
I hold my coffee tighter with trembling hands
You're sitting right beside me, but still so far
I'm reaching for a star, reaching for a star
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if you see me the way that I see you
Or am I just another face you're walking through?
[Chorus]
'Cause I have so much to give
So much to give
A heart that's ready to live
Ready to live
If only you could see
What you mean to me
I have so much to give
So much to give
[Verse 3]
You told me 'bout someone who let you down
Said you need some time before you come around
I bite my tongue and listen, I play it cool
But I'm breaking every rule, breaking every rule
[Verse 4]
I'd carry your burdens, I'd share the weight
I'd give you everything and call it fate
But you don't even notice the way I try
And the months go by, the months go by
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if someday you'll finally see the man
Who's waiting in the silence with outstretched hands
[Chorus]
'Cause I have so much to give
So much to give
A heart that's ready to live
Ready to live
If only you could see
What you mean to me
I have so much to give
So much to give
[Bridge (more quiet, guitar or piano only)]
I've been patient, I've been kind
I've been hiding what's inside
But the love I hold in me
Is a river, not a stream
[Guitar solo (melodic, emotional)]
[Last Chorus (with background choir)]
I have so much to give!
So much to give!
This heart is ready to live!
Ready to live!
If only you could see
What you mean to me
I have so much to give
So much to give
[Outro (fading out)]
So much to give…
So much to give…
I'm waiting…
So much to give…
[Intro - Driving drum beat starts, followed by a walking bassline and a honky-tonk piano - Guitar riff]
[Verse 1]
Staring at the ceiling, waiting for the spark
The neon light is glowing, cutting through the dark
I'm lounging on the velvet, feeling cool and fine
Just waiting for my people, waiting for the sign
[Pre-Chorus]
The radio is humming, a vintage melody
The rhythm's in my spirit, set the music free
The night is getting younger, the stars are aligned
Leave all your worries and your troubles behind!
[Chorus]
We're gonna rock this club
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
(Yeah, we're gonna rock this club)
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
[Verse 2]
The door swings wide open, I see the gang arrive
The energy is surging, I’m feeling so alive
Leather jackets gleaming, blue jeans fitting tight
We’re gonna turn the volume up and do it right!
[Guitar Solo, Fast-paced, bluesy rock 'n' roll guitar solo]
[Chorus]
We're gonna rock this club
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
(Oh, you know we're gonna rock this club)
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
[Bridge]
Shake it to the left, shimmy to the right
We’re gonna keep on dancing till the morning light
No stopping us now, we’re on a roll
With a little bit of rhythm and a whole lot of soul!
[Chorus]
We're gonna rock this club
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
(One more time!)
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
[Outro]
Yeah, we're gonna rock it!
(Rock this club)
All night long!
(Rock this club)
Until the break of dawn...
[Big finish with a piano flourish and a final drum crash]
[Verse 1]
Hey, haste mich nun
lang genug angegrinst
mit deinen schönen
braunen Augen?
Ich komm' mal
ein Stück näher zu dir
noch näher vielleicht
als das normal ist.
[Chorus]
Bleib doch dran
Mach mich an
Oh was ist denn schwer daran?
Du magst mich
Ich will dich
Mann, wir passen sicherlich
Komm jetzt mit
Bist der Hit
safe mein Super Perfect Fit
[Verse 2]
Nicht schlecht,
jetzt ein bisschen quatschen,
sich beschnuppern -
zufällig berühren.
Oh, das ist hot!
Mein Puls steigt,
meine Gedanken rotieren
bin ganz außer mir
[Chorus]
Bleib doch dran
Mach mich an
Oh was ist denn schwer daran?
Du magst mich
Ich will dich
Mann, wir passen sicherlich
Komm jetzt mit
Bist der Hit
safe mein Super Perfect Fit
[Verse 3]
Wenn du wüsstest
wie du mich antörnst...
Bin längst bereit
dir um den Hals zu fallen.
Leg mal dein Telefon weg
und trink nicht so viel.
Bin ich dein Typ?
Oder bin ich es nicht?
[Chorus]
Bleib doch dran
Mach mich an
Oh was ist denn schwer daran?
Du magst mich
Ich will dich
Mann, wir passen sicherlich
Komm jetzt mit
Bist der Hit
safe mein Super Perfect Fit
[Acoustic guitar solo, 36 bars]
[Verse 4]
Tja, schade irgendwie.
Bin immer gleich auf 180
und die Typen sind immun
oder einfach zu besoffen.
Dann such' ich mal weiter
ob sich noch was ergibt.
Der Abend ist noch jung
und mir ist so heiß...
[Chorus]
Bleib doch dran
Mach mich an
Oh was ist denn schwer daran?
Du magst mich
Ich will dich
Mann, wir passen sicherlich
Komm jetzt mit
Bist der Hit
safe mein Super Perfect Fit
[Last verse]
Notfalls
tanze ich wieder
den Barkeeper an,
der kennt schon
mein heißes Blut.
So gut...
[Verse 1]
Hi! Schön, dass du da bist...
Mir geht's nicht so gut...
Wie du siehst...
Bin nicht bereit...
Fürs Kino heute...
Du bist mein bester Freund...
Treu seit Jahren...
Verstehst mich so gut...
[Pre-Chorus]
Und doch auch nicht...
Wir müssen reden...
Dringend...
Heute... Jetzt!
Setz' dich zu mir...
Mach's dir bequem...
[Chorus]
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
ganz dringend mit dir
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
aus dieser Friendzone hier
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
Mann! Ich will was von dir
Sorry
Ist mir fast peinlich
was ich hier riskier...
[Verse 2]
Bleib locker...
Das passiert halt... mal...
Vielleicht haben wir
uns zu gut verstanden...
zu viel geredet...
unser Leben geteilt...
immer zusammen...
und doch nie richtig...
[Pre-Chorus]
Um ehrlich zu sein...
Ich hab' oft daran gedacht...
Na ja...
Dass du mein Typ bist...
Dass mehr sein könnte...
Wie schön das wär...
[Chorus]
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
ganz dringend mit dir
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
aus dieser Friendzone hier
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
Mann! Ich will was von dir
Sorry
Ist mir fast peinlich
was ich hier riskier...
[Verse 3]
Wenn wir uns umarmen...
ist da viel mehr...
als früher...
Ich hab' irgendwie gecheckt
dass DU mein Mann bist,
derjenige
von dem ich träume
den ich haben möchte
[Pre-Chorus]
Ich denke über uns nach
Ich schau dich anders an
Ich spüre dich anders
Und ich muss wissen -
JETZT wissen -
ob es dir auch so geht
[Chorus]
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
ganz dringend mit dir
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
aus dieser Friendzone hier
Exit
Ich brauch 'n Exit
Mann! Ich will was von dir
Sorry
Ist mir fast peinlich
was ich hier riskier...
[Bridge]
Komm her zu mir, ganz nah,
lass mich dich berühren -
lass mich dich spüren...
du weißt schon...
Bleib bei mir...
Liebe mich - JETZT!
[Instrumental part, very emotional]
[Verse 4]
Na siehste - das war wunderschön!
Wir haben's beide gewollt.
Und Kino holen wir nach...
Als Paar...
Als echtes Paar...
Und ins Bad gehen wir jetzt zu zweit -
Nein!
Dahin trägst du mich ab jetzt!
[Outro]
Ab und zu
muss ich dich anstupsen...
aber dann bist du
ein echter Schatz!
[Intro]
Soft light in the room
Your sweater on my chair
Coffee going cold
But I don’t care
[Verse 1]
You trace circles on the table
Like you’re drawing out your doubt
Little laugh that hides the tremble
When you say you’re burning out
All the miles you keep inside you
All the nights you overthink
I just sit and watch the way
Your fingers shake around your drink
[Chorus]
In your eyes
I see the storms you never name
Every scar
Every quiet
Hidden flame
You don’t have to stand alone
You don’t have to act so strong
In your eyes
I already see you belong
(I already see you)
[Verse 2]
You say love is just a rumor
Something people talk about
Every promise turns to paper
Every sure thing twists to doubt
But I’ve seen you help a stranger
Stay up late for friends who cried
How can you believe that you
Are the one left untried?
[Pre-Chorus]
You look down
Like the floor might fall away
I lean in
I don’t blink
I stay
[Chorus]
In your eyes
I see the storms you never name
Every scar
Every quiet
Hidden flame
You don’t have to stand alone
You don’t have to act so strong
In your eyes
I already see you belong
(you belong, you belong)
[Bridge]
All the times you almost called me
All the words you never sent
All the nights you held your breath
Till the morning finally bent
If your world comes crashing loudly
If your hands forget their grace
I will sit beside the damage
Let you break in my embrace
[Bridge]
If the past feels like a prison
If the future feels too wide
Let this moment be the middle
Where you finally step inside
I will learn each shadowed corner
Of the story you don’t tell
I will kiss the smallest fragments
Till you recognize yourself (oh)
[Chorus]
In your eyes
I see the storms you never name
Every scar
Every quiet
Hidden flame
You don’t have to stand alone
You don’t have to act so strong
In your eyes
I already see you belong
[Outro]
So when your courage starts to crumble
And your careful mirror lies
I’ll turn your face toward the window
Let the morning fill your sight
And I’ll whisper
Barely breathing
As the dark around you dies
You were always something holy
I can see it
In your eyes
[Intro (ruhige Clean-Gitarre)]
Ich erinnere mich noch genau
an den Staub auf dem Schulhof
an Blicke, die dich zerreißen
bevor du überhaupt fällst
[Verse 1]
Ich war der Junge in der letzten Reihe
hab gelernt, wie man schweigt
hab gelernt, wie man einsteckt
und trotzdem weitergeht
Jeder Schlag hat Spuren hinterlassen
jeder Tag ein kleines Stück genommen
doch irgendwo tief in mir
hat etwas angefangen zu brennen
[Pre-Chorus]
Und ich hab mir geschworen
wenn die Welt so bleibt wie sie ist
dann werd ich mich ändern
bis mich keiner mehr vergisst
[Chorus]
Ich hab gelernt stark zu sein
hab das Feuer tief in mir entfacht
aus den Schatten ins Licht
durch die dunkelste Nacht
Ich hab gelernt aufzustehen
egal wie oft man mich zerbricht
heute steh ich hier und schrei
du kriegst mich nicht!
[Verse 2]
Ich war nicht allein auf diesem Weg
hab Brüder gefunden im Lärm
wir hatten nichts außer Wut
und den Willen, uns zu wehren
Aus 'ner Bande wurde eine Stimme
aus der Angst ein lauter Klang
heute stehen wir zusammen
und keiner hält uns mehr auf
[Pre-Chorus]
Wir haben uns erhoben
aus Staub und aus Zorn
was uns damals gebrochen hat
hat uns heute neu gebor’n
[Chorus]
Wir haben gelernt stark zu sein
haben das Feuer nie verloren
aus den Schatten ins Licht
wie neu gebor’n
Wir haben gelernt aufzustehen
und wir fallen nicht mehr zurück
heute stehen wir hier und schrei’n
das ist unser Stück!
[Guitar Solo (episch, hymnisch, viel Gefühl)]
[Bridge]
Doch hör mir zu – ich hab’s gesehen
wie schnell sich alles dreht
heute bist du oben
morgen bist du der, der fleht
Vergiss nie, wo du herkommst
vergiss nie, wie es war
als du der warst, der gefallen ist
und keiner für dich da war
Die Schwachen sind nicht schwach für immer
das hab ich selbst bewiesen
und wenn du zu viele Feinde hast
wirst auch du irgendwann verlieren
[Final Chorus]
Also lern stark zu sein
doch vergiss dein Herz dabei nicht
denn wahre Stärke zeigt sich
wenn du niemanden zerbrichst
Lern aufzustehen
doch tritt nicht auf die, die fall’n
denn aus jedem leisen Schatten
kann ein Donner erschall’n!
[Outro (ruhiger werdend, dann großer letzter Akkord)]
Ich war der Junge von damals
jetzt steh ich hier im Licht
und wenn du mich heute fragst
vergess ich dich nicht…
[Verse 1]
You light the fire just to watch it burn
You follow noise but you never learn
You raise your voice in an empty fight
But I see through in the dead of night
You call it strength when you lose control
You trade your truth for a louder role
But I won’t march to a hollow sound
I stand my ground when you drag me down
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “Come on, just play along”
But I’ve been quiet for too damn long
[Chorus]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny
[Verse 2]
If you numb your mind just to feel alive
I’ll keep my head, I don’t need that high
If you laugh while the weak ones fall
I’ll take the hit, I will take them all
You swing your fists just to prove your name
But I won’t play in your dirty game
I’ll be the shield in the pouring rain
I take the scars, but I keep my flame
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “Be tough, don’t think it through”
But I’ve got something stronger than you
[Chorus]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny
[Bridge]
Shout your slogans, scream your hate
I won’t echo, I won’t translate
I’ll ask questions, face to face
Not hide behind a nameless rage
You draw your lines in black and white
But I still see the shades in light
I’d rather stand and take the blame
Than lose myself to win your game
[Solo Section – slow build, then explosive]
[Verse 3]
I’m not your enemy, don’t get it wrong
But I won’t follow where you don’t belong
There’s more to strength than a crushing hand
Sometimes it’s choosing to take a stand
Not every fight is won with steel
Sometimes the truth is what you feel
And I won’t trade that for your applause
Or break my soul for your twisted cause
[Final Chorus – bigger, layered vocals]
I refuse
I say no
I won’t bend just to fit your show
I stand up
On my own
Even if I stand alone
I refuse
I say no
I won’t be what you want me to
Call it pride, call it defy—
I refuse, I say no, I deny
[Outro]
You can shout until you’re blue
You can do what you will do
But I choose a different way
And I won’t betray
What I know inside is true—
So I stand, and I break through
I refuse.
I say no.
I deny.
[Intro - grand piano playing some chords, then introducing rhythm and then the melody]
[Verse 1]
The winter coat is packed away
The last gray cloud is gone
The world is waking up today
And puttin' party shoes on
I saw a basket on the shelf
And had a crazy thought
Why wait for Sunday morning, hon?
Let's start the fun right now
[Pre-Chorus]
Forget the chocolate eggs for just a minute
I got a different kind of treat in it
[Chorus]
It's the Easter Bunny Rock
A little silly, a little funny
The hop is in my heart, not just my feet
Let's change our mood to sunny
I'm your bunny, you're my bunny, honey
Yeah, that's the only kind of money
That I need to make it sweet
On this Easter Bunny beat
[Verse 2]
We're not the kids on sugar highs
Chasing plastic grass
We've earned a couple wrinkled eyes
And we know how to laugh
We've been so serious for years
With bills and grown-up plans
But right here in the kitchen, dear
I'll listen to my heart… with fuzzy ears
[Pre-Chorus]
Forget the perfect brunch for just a minute
I got a different kind of treat in it
[Chorus]
It's the Easter Bunny Rock
A little silly, a little funny
The hop is in my heart, not just my feet
Let's change our mood to sunny
I'm your bunny, you're my bunny, honey
Yeah, that's the only kind of money
That I need to make it sweet
On this Easter Bunny beat
[Bridge]
And if the neighbors peek through the window blind
They'll see two fools who've lost their mind
But we don't care, we're doin' fine
Just hoppin' right on time
'Cause bein' grown don't mean bein' stone
When love is this well-known
Oh yeah!
[Instrumental break - grand piano solo, very fast, skilled player]
[Final Chorus (big & fast)]
Yeah, it's the Easter Bunny Rock!
So delightfully funny!
The hop is in my heart, not just my feet
Let's change our mood to sunny!
I'm your bunny, you're my bunny, honey!
Yeah, that's the only kind of money!
Let the whole world think it's funny!
We're just gettin' started, sunny!
On this Easter Bunny Rock!
[Outro]
(Hop, hop, hop…)
I'm your bunny…
(Hop, hop, hop…)
Yeah, you're my bunny, honey…
(Hop… hop…)
Easter Bunny Rock.
[Intro (E-guitar solo, introducing the melody)]
[Verse 1]
I see you every morning, just passing by
You give a little smile, I don't know why
We talk about the weather, the usual stuff
But I never say enough, never say enough
[Verse 2]
You tell me 'bout your weekend, your friends, your plans
I hold my coffee tighter with trembling hands
You're sitting right beside me, but still so far
I'm reaching for a star, reaching for a star
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if you see me the way that I see you
Or am I just another face you're walking through?
[Chorus]
'Cause I have so much to give
So much to give
A heart that's ready to live
Ready to live
If only you could see
What you mean to me
I have so much to give
So much to give
[Verse 3]
You told me 'bout someone who let you down
Said you need some time before you come around
I bite my tongue and listen, I play it cool
But I'm breaking every rule, breaking every rule
[Verse 4]
I'd carry your burdens, I'd share the weight
I'd give you everything and call it fate
But you don't even notice the way I try
And the months go by, the months go by
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if someday you'll finally see the man
Who's waiting in the silence with outstretched hands
[Chorus]
'Cause I have so much to give
So much to give
A heart that's ready to live
Ready to live
If only you could see
What you mean to me
I have so much to give
So much to give
[Bridge (more quiet, guitar or piano only)]
I've been patient, I've been kind
I've been hiding what's inside
But the love I hold in me
Is a river, not a stream
[Guitar solo (melodic, emotional)]
[Last Chorus (with background choir)]
I have so much to give!
So much to give!
This heart is ready to live!
Ready to live!
If only you could see
What you mean to me
I have so much to give
So much to give
[Outro (fading out)]
So much to give…
So much to give…
I'm waiting…
So much to give…
[Intro - Driving drum beat starts, followed by a walking bassline and a honky-tonk piano - Guitar riff]
[Verse 1]
Staring at the ceiling, waiting for the spark
The neon light is glowing, cutting through the dark
I'm lounging on the velvet, feeling cool and fine
Just waiting for my people, waiting for the sign
[Pre-Chorus]
The radio is humming, a vintage melody
The rhythm's in my spirit, set the music free
The night is getting younger, the stars are aligned
Leave all your worries and your troubles behind!
[Chorus]
We're gonna rock this club
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
(Yeah, we're gonna rock this club)
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
[Verse 2]
The door swings wide open, I see the gang arrive
The energy is surging, I’m feeling so alive
Leather jackets gleaming, blue jeans fitting tight
We’re gonna turn the volume up and do it right!
[Guitar Solo, Fast-paced, bluesy rock 'n' roll guitar solo]
[Chorus]
We're gonna rock this club
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
(Oh, you know we're gonna rock this club)
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
[Bridge]
Shake it to the left, shimmy to the right
We’re gonna keep on dancing till the morning light
No stopping us now, we’re on a roll
With a little bit of rhythm and a whole lot of soul!
[Chorus]
We're gonna rock this club
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
(One more time!)
Rock this club
Rock this club tonight!
[Outro]
Yeah, we're gonna rock it!
(Rock this club)
All night long!
(Rock this club)
Until the break of dawn...
