Hall & Oates

Songwriter: Daryl Hall

Producer: Daryl Hall John Oates

You need to make it on your own
You wanna shake it, go it alone
Whatever happened?
I did alright by you
I can feel the passion girl

It's still as strong
Though the places have turned around
Oh I can be the one to wait
You take the easy way out
I'm no one to doubt

(If that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo
(You can take the lead)
Play a brand new part
Go solo, solo

You say there's trouble in paradise
I'm only joking but you better be right
Oh, whatever happens, there ain't no turnin' 'round

I can understand you need to find yourself
Make a way without any help
Oh I can be the one who waits
To take the only way out
I'm no one to doubt

(If that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo
(You can take the lead)
Play a brand new part
Go solo, solo

I don't mind your flying blind
Just shake it up and take it to the break this time
Shake it up and take it to the break this time
This time, oh
Shake it up and take it, shake it up and take it girl

(If that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo, go solo
(You can take the lead)
Play a brand new part
Go solo

How could you go solo?
(If it ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo, oh girl
(You can take the lead)
Play a brand new part
Go solo

Oh, shake it up and take it, shake it up and take it
(If that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo
How could you go solo?
(You can take the lead)
Play a new part
Go solo ooh
Shake it
(If that ain't enough)
Ain't enough for you
Go solo, solo

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
