THE UNRELEASED & RELATED

No, I'm Not Afraid (Criss, 1991)

---

Track Notes:
** Another of the early Peter Criss and Phil Naro collaborations during the first line-up of CRISS. This song would be copywritten with a second group of Criss/Naro collaborations in May 1991. A power ballard, this sort of material is something which is completely alien to the type of material which one would expect from Peter. Complex, with plenty of time changes, the demo would be sung by Phil. Phil would recycle, with Mladen making some additions, the song as "Surrender (In The Name Of Love)", which forms part of the lyrics at the beginning of the song. This would be released on the European version of 24k's "Pure" album in 2000. Phil had also recorded the song with Mark St. John for Mark's 1999 EP...

[Verse]
You turned my heart inside my soul
I was not too blind to see
Oh, woman while you had me down
It wasn't easy for you

[Verse]
Somehow the tables turned on you
Guess you've finally met your match
Surrender in the name love
And now you know I'm not an easy catch

Why do you still keep coming 'round
You're standing now, I'm taking ground
Oh-oh...
I must say...

[Chorus]
No, I'm not afraid
To turn and walk away
I won't let you kill what's inside of me
No, I'm not afraid
You can't make me stay (yeah)
No way, no way!

[Guitar Solo]

What makes you keep on ticking away
Soon there'll be nothing more to say
Oh-oh...
I must say...

[Chorus 2 X2]
No, I'm not afraid
To turn and walk away
I won't let you kill what's inside of me
No, I'm not afraid
You can't make me stay (yeah)
No no, no no!

Baby, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
No, I'm not afraid
No, I'm not afraid
Can't make me stay
You can't make me stay
Yeah, yeah
No, no

[Chorus 2]

No, I'm not afraid
No, I'm not afraid (yeah)
Whoa-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm not afraid
Ooh-ooh, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
