Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love We've been in a stalemate so long Like being locked up in a prison (Locked up in a prison) And I don't want to be that way with you Release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on Release (Release) Release the tension (Release) There's too much tension in the world today Release (Release) Show some emotion (Release) And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on We've been at a standstill so long And it's not getting any better (Not getting any better) Slowly, slowly, slowly Drifting apart Oh, release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Release (Release) Release the tension (Release) There's too much tension in the world today Release (Release) Show some emotion (Release) And let the motion rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Now is the time, time to release Time to release your love Release Release the tension There's too much tension In the world today Release Show some emotion And let the motion Rock us away, rock on, rock on, rock on Release Release the tension There's too much tension in the world today Oh, you got to release Show some emotion Then let the motion rock us away, Rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on, rock on Wooo Hooo (Release, show some emotion) (And let the motion) (Rock us away) (Rock on, rock on, rock on... Release some tension, there's so much tension...)

Looking back on when I Was a little nappy headed boy Then my only worry Was for Christmas what would be my toy Even though we sometimes Would not get a thing We were happy with the Joy the day would bring Sneaking out the back door To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door With boy thought I told you not to go outside Tryin' your best to bring the Water to your eyes Thinkin' it might stop her Grom woopin' your behind I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go Cause I love them so Brother says he's tellin' 'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl Just don't tell I'll give you Anything you want in this whole wide world Mama gives you money for Sunday school You trade yours for candy after church is through Smokin' cigarettes and writing Something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy) Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go
