Backdoor Lover 
Performed by DuJour
Written by Deborah Kaplan, Harry Elfont, Brainz, Anthony President and Guliano Franco
Backdoor lover, ooh
This kind of love is wrong
But you know it feels so right
Rubbin' my hands across you cheeks
They're oh-so smooth and wide
Leave your light on, baby
And unlock your backdoor
I'll be comin' through that way tonight
To love you for sure
Lying on your bed, staring up at the moon
You drive me crazy but I'll love you soon
I'm your backdoor lover
Comin' from behind
Backdoor lover, just you and me
No one has to know
Backdoor lover
I'll meet you there at the secret spot
I'll show you a love that's more than hot
You know that I won't hurt you
So open up and let me in
We love each other way too much
For it to be a sin
We won't use the front door
That's never been my way
Just 'cause I slip in the backdoor
...Hey
Lying on your bed, staring up at the moon
You drive me crazy but I'll love you soon
I'm your backdoor lover
Comin' from behind
Backdoor lover, just you and me
No one has to know
Backdoor lover
I'll meet you there at the secret spot
I'll show you a love that's more than hot
Baby, goin' 'round in circles
'Cause you're everything
And you know what I wanna do
Maybe we can get together tat your place tonight
So open your backdoor tonight
I'm your backdoor lover
Comin' from behind
Backdoor lover, just you and me
No one has to know
Backdoor lover
I'll meet you there at the secret spot
I'll show you a love that's more than hot
Backdoor love you know I want it, I want it
Backdoor love, ooh
Backdoor lover
Comin' from behind
Backdoor lover, just you and me
No one has to know
Backdoor lover
I'll meet you there at the secret spot
I'll show you a love that's more than hot

I don't wanna be your girlfriend
I'm just lookin' for a real good time, alright?
Can you guarantee me satisfaction?
Need some action
Gonna get it tonight
So I'm tellin' you, boyfriend
That you've never met a girl like me before
Not gonna wait a long time
Better make up your mind
Are you in, are you out?
Shake it up, shake it down
Wanna scream, wanna shout
Give it up, get it on, or get out
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
You know I got my pick of any toy, little boy
Replaceable, disposable, fully action posable
With everything you've said and done
There's plenty more where you came from
Don't just stand there looking dumb
Baby, you're the lucky one
Are you in, are you out?
Shake it up, shake it down
Wanna scream, wanna shout
Give it up, get it on, or get out
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
So come on, tell me what you wanna do
So come on, I can't wait around for you
So come on, it's not a mystery
So come on, tell me what you wanna do
So come on, I can't wait around for you
So come on, be with me
Are you in, are you out?
Shake it up, shake it down
Wanna scream, wanna shout
Give it up, get it on, or get out

I Wish You Well
Performed by Josie And The Pussycats
Written by Anna Waronker
I wish you well
Couldn't you tell after all these years?
I wish you love
And life in a world you're dreaming of
I wish you well
I wish you love
I wish myself all of the above
What made me think that I could survive all the wear and tear?
It's not my thing
To stand and pose for some William Tell
I wish you well
I wish you love
I wish myself all of the above
If there was a better time I could not find it
What's mine not yours and yours not mine
And we couldn't hide it
Don't take me in the ride with you
It's a rollercoaster
The only time I'd look at you was on a rock 'n' roll poster
Where are you now?
Couldn't you see through the sweat and tears
I took my bow
While you confirmed all my saddest fears
I wish you well
I wish you love
I wish myself all of the above
If there was a better time I could not find it
What's mine not yours and yours not mine
And we couldn't hide it

Long tails and ears for hats
Guitars and marshall stacks
Hot, sweet, super cool
Don't you know that kitties rule?

Driving our custom paneled van
Practicing for hours, don't you know
That no matter where you go, we'll be on your radio

Stone foxes, that's a fact

Even though we're playing in our garage
Soon we'll have a massive entourage
Going triple platinum
You just watch us
Climbing up the Billboard charts
Breakin' records, breakin' hearts

Long tails and ears for hats
We know just where it's at

Guaranteed to rock the house

Guitars and sharps and flats
Neet, sweet, a groovy song

We could be in India or perchance
Be with us in Bangkok
Makes no difference
Everywhere the action's at
We're involved with this or that!

Come on watch the good guys win

Pretend To Be Nice
Performed by Josie And The Pussycats
Written by Adam Schlesinger
Well he looks at me with those innocent eyes
And says "It looks like you're wearing some kind of disguise,
Because your hair sticks up and your shoes are untied
And I hope that you got that shirt at half price"
And every word I say falls flat on the floor
I try to tell a joke, but he's heard it before
And I don't think that I can take it no more
'Cause he's driving me right out my front door
Why do you do what you do to me baby?
You're shaking my confidence, driving me crazy
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
Please don't ignore me, 'cause you know I adore you
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Can you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
Everything in my life would be alright
Ooh wee...
Ooh wee...
And I try so hard just to figure him out
But he won't tell me what he's thinking about
And then he falls asleep on the living room couch
With his sunglasses on and his tongue hanging out
And then he disappears for a week at a time
And then he just shows up like everything's fine And I don't get what goes on in his mind
But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid lines
Why do you do what you do to me baby?
You're shaking my confidence, driving me crazy
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
Please don't ignore me, 'cause you know I adore you
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Can you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
Everything in my life would be alright
Ooh wee...
Ooh wee...

Shapeshifter
Performed by Josie And The Pussycats
Written by Kay Hanley and Michael Eisenstein
You could say everything's no good
'Cause you'll just say what everyone else would
You could say that the sky is blue
'Cause I wonder who would ever not believe you
And I shoulda said this for so long, so so long
Shapeshifter, guest lister, big faker,
She'll turn around -- you'll diss her
Gatecrasher, rehasher, if you think that's cool
Whatever dude
You could say that she wants to hear,
'Cause it's her car, but she let's the bum steer
You could say that the fix is in,
But I don't believe it, not for a minute
You like all the same songs
You're all wrong, you're just all wrong
Shapeshifter, guest lister, big faker,
She'll turn around -- you'll diss her
Gatecrasher, rehasher, if you think that's cool
Whatever dude
Boys like you don't cost a dime
And you could say that's fine
But you know just as well as I
That's a lie
Shapeshifter, guest lister, big faker,
She'll turn around -- you'll diss her
Gatecrasher, rehasher, if you think that's cool
Shapeshifter, guest lister, big faker,
She'll turn around -- you'll diss her
Gatecrasher, rehasher, if you think that's cool
Whatever dude
Spin Around
Performed by Josie And The Pussycats
Written by David Gibbs and Adam Duritz
Spin around, come back home, you're runnin' out on a line
Sometimes feel I'm going outta my mind
Stunned here waitin' for anyone to take the time
Spin around, we get further and further away
Smile and wave and ain't got nothin' to say
Stunned here waitin' for anyone to take the time
To change my mind this time
I've been staring at the sun for some time
It gets dark inside, but I don't mind
And if you're gone it's like I'm going blind
I can't by this time
Spin around, jump back, take another look at yourself
You've been hidin' all alone on a shelf
Frozen waitin' for anyone to change my mind
Spin around, well come back down now, 'cause it's all getting clear
Everything you ever wanted is here
We never needed anyone to change our mind
Don't waste out time, we're fine
I've been staring at the sun for some time
It gets dark inside, but I don't mind
And if you're gone it's like I'm going blind
I can't by this time
La la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la yeah yeah...
You Don't See Me
Performed by Josie And The Pussycats
Written by David Gibbs, Deborah Kaplan, Babyface, Jason Falkner, Steve Hurley, Dee Dee Gipson, Harry Elfont, Jane Wieldin and Adam Duritz
This is a place where I sit
This is the part where I love you too much
Is this as hard as it gets?
'Cause I'm tired of pretending I'm tough
I'm here if you want me
I'm yours, you can hold me
I'm empty and achin' and tumblin' and breakin'
'Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could
I dream of a world where you understand
But I dream a million sleepless nights
Well I dream of fire when you touch my hand
But it twists into smoke when I turn on the lights
I'm speechless and faded
It's too complicated
Is this how the book ends?
Nothin' but good friends
This is the place in my heart
This is the place where I'm falling apart
Isn't this just where we met?
Is this the last chance I'll ever get?
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only crystal and see through
And not enough to you
This is the place in my heart
This is the place where I'm falling apart
Isn't this just where we met?
Is this the last chance I'll ever get?
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only crystal and see through
And not enough to you
You're A Star
Performed by Josie And The Pussycats
Written by Adam Duritz, David Gibbs and Anna Waronker
I feel good, yeah I feel fine
I've stopped complainin' all the time
You'll get yours and baby I'll get mine
So don't be fooled by what you see
In movies, magazines and on TV
What do they know about you and me?
We don't care what they say
We'll be alright, we'll be OK
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah
So stand up strait and stand up tall
Don't waste your time in shopping malls
Slam the door and let's tear down the walls
Crack it up, let's mess around
Be who you are, 'cause you're a star
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah
3 Small Words 
Performed by Josie And The Pussycats
Written by Deborah Kaplan, Harry Elfont and David Gibbs
I'm a punk rock prom queen
Brown paper magazine
Hotter than you've ever seen
Everywhere and in between
A ten-ticket thrill ride
Don't you wanna come inside?
A five-star triple-threat
Hardest of the hard to get
No one's little red corvette
Ain't seen nothing like me yet
But it took six whole hours
And five whole days
For all your lies to come undone
And those three small words
Were way too late
'Cause you can't see that I'm the one
I'm your late-night head rush
Ace-high royal flush
Red velvet orange crush
You just don't impress me much
A glossy double-cover spread
Opened up inside your head
A black-cherry paradise
Half the sugar twice the spice
I don't wanna treat you nice
Come on baby roll the dice
But it took six whole hours
And five whole days
For all your lies to come undone
And those three small words
Were way too late
'Cause you can't see that I'm the one
