Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You are hardcore, you make me hard

You name the drama and I'll play the part

It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream

I like your get up, if you know what I mean

[Verse 2]

I want it bad

I want it now

Oh, can't you see?

I'm ready now

I've seen all the pictures

I've studied them forever

[Verse 3]

I want to make a movie

So let's star in it together, oh

Don't make a move till I say, "Action"

Oh, here comes the hardcore life

Put your money where your mouth is tonight

[Verse 4]

Leave your make up on and I'll leave on the light

Come over here, babe, and talk in the mic

Oh yeah, I hear you now

It's gonna be one hell of a night

[Verse 5]

You can't be a spectator, oh no

You got to take these dreams and make them whole

Oh, this is hardcore

There is no way back for you

[Verse 6]

Oh, this is hardcore

This is me on top of you

And I can't believe it took me this long

That it took me this long

[Verse 7]

This is the eye of the storm

It's what men in stained raincoats pay for

But in here, it is pure, yeah

This is the end of the line

[Verse 8]

I've seen the storyline played out so many times before

Oh, that goes in there

Then that goes in there

Then that goes in there

Then that goes in there

And then it's over

[Verse 9]

Oh, what a hell of a show

But what I want to know

What exactly do you do for an encore?

'Cause this is hardcore
