The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

GET YOUR WAY

You make demands you're out of hand and soon enough you're gonna get your way you rage and roar you pace the floor and soon enough you're gonna have your day get your way

Got no time for temperament bad attitude won't make a dent don't cry baby, don't cry at all got no need to take the fall

Don't go on strike you know what I like you know how to love me daddy loose but tight your mood is down I'm losing ground and soon enough you're gonna have your day get your way

There's no need to stay at home alone no need for slamming the phone got no need to kick the cat or get too high no need for that

The silences when you don't speak much worse than when you scolding me the silences when you won't speak it's not the silence that's golden to me

Look out I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming

You make demands you're out of hand and soon enough you're gonna get your way you rage and roar you pace the floor and soon enough your gonna get your way don't go on strike you know what I like you know how to love me daddy loose but tight your mood is down I'm losing ground and soon enough you're gonna have your day get your way

You know I always get my way I'm hot I do succeed like Washington at Valley Forge I get just what I need like Iron Mike with a TKO and Jesse James with a 44 I keep on coming moving slow and put them on the floor get up turn it up a bit get up turn it up a bit I'm self contained I use my brain and I keep the people entertained it's a long way up with no elevator but I'm gonna get there sooner or later 'cause the last thing that I'm gonna do is not do what I wanted to get up turn it up a bit get up turn it up a bit like Frankenstein and Danger Mouse I'm gonna make some noise and rock the house

You have been demanding throwing temper tantrums soon enough your gonna get your way you have been highhanded setting super standards soon enough you're gonna get your way you have been vindictive you can go and stick it pretty soon you're gonna get your way don't you go on strike you know just what I like now pretty soon you're gonna have your day get your way

You're so dramatic you're too emphatic but soon enough you're gonna get your way we've been conflicting you'd better start thinking and pretty soon you're gonna get your way don't go on strike you know what I like you know how to love me daddy loose but tight your mood is down I'm losing ground and soon enough you're gonna have your day get your way

You make demands you're out of hand and soon enough you're gonna get your way you rage and roar you pace the floor and soon enough you're gonna get your way your mood is down I'm losing ground and soon enough you're gonna get your way you're so dramatic you're too emphatic but soon enough you're gonna get your way

Have your day get your way you have your day yeah you get what you want get your way have your day soon enough you're gonna get it yeah you're gonna get your way have your day get your way
