Like this
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Ain't got a hope in hell
Of puttin' my pieces back together again

I've seen things in my life that should never be seen
I'm talkin' things that'd make your skin crawl
I wanna go back to a simpler time
Where nothin' really mattered at all

You see, I can't sleep all night long
Tossin' and a-turnin'
thoughts they keep a-churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact
I just wanna get back

Chorus:
Back to the rockin' horse
Back to where it all began
Take me back-back to the rockin' horse
And start all over again

My parents think I'm crazy
And the doctor says I cracked
But they don't understand me
Cause I just wanna go back

You see I can't sleep all night long
Tossin' and a-turnin
Thoughts they keep a-churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact
I just wanna get back

Chorus

Like this

There's an alley cat slowly walkin' down a dirty street
Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat
You got five fingers Johnny stealing everything in sight
You gotta be bad to be good in the dead of the night
Wowowow, kick it

You're dancing in fire, baby
When you're takin' it to the streets
Yeah to the streets
Baby better be better watch your back
Fast on your feet

Cause they're wheelin' dealin'
Cheatin' stealin'
Child you're gonna learn

Chorus:
You gotta be bad to be good
If you know what I'm talkin' about
What's that
So I say it again
You gotta be bad to be good
In the dead of the night

When you got nothin' baby
You got nothin' to lose, nothin' to lose
It's an eye for an eye baby
And a tooth for a tooth, ain't it the truth

If you got nine lives you might survive
Cause nothing's free on the other side

Chorus

Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin'
Just to stay alive
They got love for sale, yes for sale
On the New York subway line
Watch the working girls hanging out
Turning tricks underneath the lights,
Oh the lights

One step from hell
The poor men sell their soul
for a taste of wine

Chorus

When it's said and done
and you're on the run
And the only law comes under the gun

There's an alley cat slowly walkin' down a dirty street
Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat
You got five fingers Johnny stealing everything in sight
You gotta be bad to be good in the dead of the night
Wowowow, kick it

You're dancing in fire, baby
When you're takin' it to the streets
Yeah to the streets
Baby better be better watch your back
Fast on your feet

Cause they're wheelin' dealin'
Cheatin' stealin'
Child you're gonna learn

Chorus:
You gotta be bad to be good
If you know what I'm talkin' about
What's that
So I say it again
You gotta be bad to be good
In the dead of the night

When you got nothin' baby
You got nothin' to lose, nothin' to lose
It's an eye for an eye baby
And a tooth for a tooth, ain't it the truth

If you got nine lives you might survive
Cause nothing's free on the other side

Chorus

Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin'
Just to stay alive
They got love for sale, yes for sale
On the New York subway line
Watch the working girls hanging out
Turning tricks underneath the lights,
Oh the lights

One step from hell
The poor men sell their soul
for a taste of wine

Chorus

When it's said and done
and you're on the run
And the only law comes under the gun

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

[CHORUS:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yea it does

I listen to your favorite song
playin' on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has it ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess

[CHORUS]

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead if making love
We both made our separate ways

Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

[CHORUS]

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

[CHORUS:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yea it does

Now I hear you've found somebody new

She stepped off the bus
out into the city streets
Just a small town girl
with her whole life
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't
shine as bright as they did
On her mama's TV screen
And the work seemed harder
And the days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be
But you know you
got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win
Tails you're gonna lose
Win big Mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin out her lies
Want's it all Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin the
dice of her life
Now she found herself
in the fast lane livin day to day
Turned her back on her
best friends yeah
And let her family slip away
Just like a lost soul
caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress
hiding all her pain
Trading her memories
for fortune and fame
Just a step away
from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago
Win big Mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin out her lies
Want's it all Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin the
dice of her life
Too much too soon
Or just a little too late
Cause when her ship came in
She wasn't there and
it just wouldn't wait

Win big Mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin out her lies
Want's it all Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin the
dice of her life
Win big Mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin out her lies
Want's it all Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin the
dice of her life
Win big Mama's fallen angel
Lose big livin out her lies
Want's it all Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin the

Well, I calls my baby on the telephone
She says hurry home Bret cause I'm all alone
Oh now giddyap, hurry, and don't be late
Cause a b-b-b-b-baby I just can't wait

Making herself so perfectly clear

So I roll her over in the middle of the night
and I rock my baby 'til the morning light
Gettin' hot....Good love, yeah.
Well the good people say I'm a sinnin' man

Good girls go to heaven
bad girls go to hell
The rest of them get rich
And do just what they feel

Well rich boys live in houses
And poor boys live in sin
The rest of them get married
And are never seen again

Well let me tell a story explain the shape I'm in
The girl I had last night had never tasted sin
So I took her to my hotel where I tried to get my way
She said "Wait a minute, Bret, there's something I must say"

She said If you want to talk that's fine with me
But if you want more you'd better let me be

[Chorus]
Cause you can look but you can't touch
Cause the best things in life ain't cheap
You can look but you can't touch
Cause baby I ain't for keeps

Well maybe I'm a bad boy
OK, so I've been around the block
But I am good at one thing
And believe me it ain't talk

She says you must be kidding
I've heard this all before
Other girls might buy it
But I don't, that's for sure

Now wait a minute baby
I don't want you to go
She said "Don't get no closer
The answer still is no"

So I wined her, dined her, fancy talked
Acted cool and smooth
Got my hands around her shoulder
Two inches from the move

Well I guess I'm about as close as I could be
So I finally made my move, she just said to me

[Chorus]

Let me show you something
Mmm, let me set the pace
Slid my hand up her leg
As she slapped me across my face

Can't blame a man for tryin'
Wantin' action ain't a crime
I didn't plan on spending money
Just to get a piece of mind

Good girls go to heaven
bad girls go to hell
The rest of them get rich
And do just what they feel

Well rich boys live in houses
And poor boys live in sin
The rest of them get married
And are never seen again

Well let me tell a story explain the shape I'm in
The girl I had last night had never tasted sin
So I took her to my hotel where I tried to get my way
She said "Wait a minute, Bret, there's something I must say"

She said If you want to talk that's fine with me
But if you want more you'd better let me be

[Chorus]
Cause you can look but you can't touch
Cause the best things in life ain't cheap
You can look but you can't touch
Cause baby I ain't for keeps

But I am good at one thing
And believe me it ain't talk

She says you must be kidding

Now wait a minute baby

Love On the Rocks
She goes down slow like a shot of gin
She's got an angel's face and the devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She said "I'm your poison, now you drink a cup."

In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She's gonna push you push you til she's satisfied
I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers "If you wanna taste my love why don't you swallow this."

CHORUS:
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Ooooh lick it up

She gets so damn close you can feel her breathe
Just the way she moves, soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner, just down the street
All night we played the horizontal bop right between the sheets

Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks

Love On the Rocks
She goes down slow like a shot of gin
She's got an angel's face and the devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She said "I'm your poison, now you drink a cup."

In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She's gonna push you push you til she's satisfied
I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers "If you wanna taste my love why don't you swallow this."

CHORUS:

Love on the rocks

Love on the rocks
Ooooh lick it up

She gets so damn close you can feel her breathe
Just the way she moves, soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner, just down the street
All night we played the horizontal bop right between the sheets

Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks

Now Listen
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet

I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then

If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

Don't need nothin' but a good time

Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time

You're my fatal attraction
Oh, no, I can't stop
You're my midnight fantasy
You're my cream of the crop

I'm comin' home girl

You're my soaking wet ecstasy
Like sex on the beach
I wanna take you home now girl
Gonna practice what I preach, dig

I'm comin' home girl

Shakin' shakin'
Tearin' down the walls
Little by little, inch by inch
Tearin' down the walls
Screamin' scratchin'
Tearin' down the walls

Tearin' down the walls

I just wanna eat you up
Like a lion in a cage
Just get a little bit closer girl
And that's all I'll need to say

I'm comin' home girl
I'm comin' home now

You're like a slave to the rhythm
I'm gonna put you to the test
You turn up the heat turn on the light
And I'll do the rest

I'm comin' home girl,
I'm comin home now

I can taste your sweet emotion
I can feel it runnin' hot
Our veins of passion pumping so strong

CHOURS
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
But when evening comes around and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go--You gotta rock it

The old folks say that
You gotta end your date by ten
But if you're out on a date
Don't you bring her home late cause it's a sin
You know there's no excuse,
You know you're gonna lose, you never win
I'll say it again
And it's all because

CHORUS

Everyone gather round let me tell you all about it
You see I pulled into a drive-in and I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat where it's always nice and dark
We're just about to move thinking "Bret, this is a breeze"
There's a light in my eye and a guy says
"Out of the car, long hair!"

Oowee--you're coming with me
Said the local police

CHORUS

Play me a little C.C.

Your Mama don't dance, no
She just don't dance, no
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
Ah, yeah

CHOURS
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
But when evening comes around and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go--You gotta rock it

The old folks say that
You gotta end your date by ten
But if you're out on a date
Don't you bring her home late cause it's a sin
You know there's no excuse,
You know you're gonna lose, you never win
I'll say it again
And it's all because

CHORUS

Everyone gather round let me tell you all about it
You see I pulled into a drive-in and I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat where it's always nice and dark
We're just about to move thinking "Bret, this is a breeze"
There's a light in my eye and a guy says
"Out of the car, long hair!"

Oowee--you're coming with me
Said the local police

CHORUS

Play me a little C.C.

Your Mama don't dance, no
She just don't dance, no
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
Ah, yeah

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

[CHORUS:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yea it does

I listen to your favorite song
playin' on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has it ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess

[CHORUS]

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead if making love
We both made our separate ways

Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

[CHORUS]

I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night

I grab my hat and I grab my shoes
Tonight I'm gonna hit the streets and cruise
Down the main strip and check it out
With those schoolgirls a hangin' around
Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face
I don't care if she's in leather or lace
cause I'm just lookin' for a little kiss
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight

Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts
I can't wait to get my hands on them
I won't give up until they give in
Now I'm not lookin' for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I can't have her, I'll take her and make her
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight

Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here
No, not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
Cause there's something back there I want to show ya
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
Ah, come on honey, I wasn't that bad!
Ah, well
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight

Late at night I close my eyes
And think of how things could have been
And when I look back
I remember some words you had said to me

It's better to have lost at love
Then never to have loved at all

[Chorus]
I won't forget you baby
(I won't forget you)
Even though I should
I won't forget you baby
(I won't forget you)
Even though I should, yeah

Sometimes in my head
I can still see pictures of you
And I laugh to myself
When I think of all those crazy things that we used to do

Although miles come between us
Just between you and me

[Chorus]

I should let you fade away
But that just wouldn't be me
Oh, baby

Although miles come between us
Just between you and me

[Chorus]

I won't forget you baby

<i>Lyrics &copy; Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group</i>

I've spent my life waiting
For that famous final scene
I believe you know the one--
When she falls in love with me
As for you, you've been fakin' your smile
Fillin' your time
on small talk
And cheap wine
Knowing in your heart there was someplace
That you'd rather be
So right or wrong,
I wrote you this song
To tell you how I feel
Don't put up no fight
You just turn off the lights
Walk over here to me:
And lay your body down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
Oh, let your tears fall down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
As for me I've lied to, denied to
fight with, and tried to
apologize for all my ways
To all the women who were fool enough to fall
in love with me
You played your role
like a movie
Got your lines for who is,
who was, who would be
Somehow you lost track
While real love slipped away, yeah
So for tonight, just turn off the lights
And let those real feelings show
There's no wrong or right
but until you try
you're never gonna know
Before you was mine
I was so lonely
Ain't it a shame
Your heart must feel pain
before you get back on your feet again
Solo
So let's draw the blinds
Forget wasted time
And let them old demons die
Take ahold of my hand
Then you'd understand
Why love's worth one more try out

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do

You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

CHORUS
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
Till I'm screaming for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

CHORUS

C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me

CHORUS
CHORUS

Now Listen
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet

I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then

I'm always workin' slavin' every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you

[CHORUS]

In one ear and out the other
Told myself this girl is trouble, yeah
Everyone that looks at her
Is tragically struck in love

Bridge
Wait a minute...
This chick's got me addicted
I hate her so even though I wish she was my girl

Chorus:
I hate every bone in your body but mine
I can't wait till I can hate you tonight

Never thought I'd understand
But she's too good just for one man, yeah


Round and round and round she goes;
Who she's with don't wanna know

Bridge, chorus 2x's, solo

In one ear and out the other
Told myself this girl is trouble
Round and round and round she goes
And who she's with don't wanna know
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Bridge, chorus 2x's

I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night

I grab my hat and I grab my shoes
Tonight I'm gonna hit the streets and cruise
Down the main strip and check it out
With those schoolgirls a hangin' around
Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face
I don't care if she's in leather or lace
cause I'm just lookin' for a little kiss
I want action tonight

You've got the love I need tonight

Long legs and short skirts

Ah, come on honey, I wasn't that bad!
Ah, well
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight

Did you ever get up on the wrong side of bed
With an achin' head and just fall apart?
You're running late, the boss is bitchin',
It's cold outside, and the car won't start

Well I don't mean to bitch I swear
Cause we all got our cross to bear

Chorus:
But when I hear the music
All my troubles just fade away
When I hear the music
Let it play, let it play
When I hear the music
Sure as darkness I can see the day
When I hear the music
Let it play
Let it play

Life's just rented space getting laid to waste
When the lines on my face say I'm growing older
Just a stitch in time gonna save my mind
When the weight of the world lies on my shoulders

Soon I won't have a place to fit
But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

Chorus

Love On the Rocks
She goes down slow like a shot of gin
She's got an angel's face and the devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She said "I'm your poison, now you drink a cup."

In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She's gonna push you push you til she's satisfied
I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers "If you wanna taste my love why don't you swallow this."

CHORUS:
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Ooooh lick it up

She gets so damn close you can feel her breathe
Just the way she moves, soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner, just down the street
All night we played the horizontal bop right between the sheets

Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks

Will I see him on the TV
preachin bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money
from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But Lord I think he sinned yeah
Twenty two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing
war on a foreign shore
To find his country
didn't want him back
Their bullets took his
best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife
and kids no regrets
In a time I don't remember
in a war he can't forget
He cried Forgive me for
what I've done there
Cause I never meant the
things I did
And give me something
to believe in
if there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh Lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to
break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror mirror
on the wall sees my smile
it fades again
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
Sometimes I wish to
God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
road you gotta take me home

I drive by the homeless sleeping
on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the
broken old neon sign
That used to read JESUS SAVES
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they
eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinkin
from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
why so many lose so few win
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
And give me
something to believe in
Sometimes I wish to
God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then

And give me
something to believe in

I was heading down the highway
She's going my way
She climbed in, the next thing I knew

We started laughing and smoking,
We got to talking
Yeah, we'd both been hurt a time or two

I knew she didn't love me
But I didn't think she'd want me, no
Right there she took me
Underneath that sun, we became one

She said
Life's a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
I'm a little strange
A lot like you....
(Let's ride)

Halfway to Boston
she turned down the radio
Asked what I was looking for

Then I looked in her eyes,
for the first time I realized
I really didn't know anymore

Sometimes I think I want true love
Most times I feel like there's no one
But in the meantime hold me tight
Things will be alright

I said...
Life's a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
I'm a little strange
A lot like you....
(Let's ride)

solo

I pulled along the highway
The time had come to go our way
She took my hand, looked into my eyes
and said "won't you hold me one more time"

She said....
Life's a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
I'm a little strange a lot
Oh baby, a lot like you....

When I lost my way
you were my light
When others wronged me
you did me right
When I look in your eyes
don't tell me lies
You tell me the truth
your words they get me through
This is all I've got
This is all I say
If this were my last day
This is my last song
its all I got
If I bear my soul
don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
this is my last song
Its all I got
so don't you break my heart

Wrote down these words
put 'em in this song
I play it for you, pray
they don't come out wrong
Cuz all I gots my word
I gave it to you
Now it may not be much
its the best I can do
This is all I got
This is all I say
So please don't walk away
This is my last song
its all I got
If I bear my soul
don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
this is my last song
Its all I got
so don't you break my heart

If this were my last breath
of my last day
And my last chance
this is what I'd say
I thank you for the laughter
sorry for the tears
Time to say goodbye
I say goodbye
after all these years
This is my last song
its all I got
If I bear my soul
don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
this is my last song
Its all I got, so don't you break my heart
This is my last song
its all I got
If I bear my soul
don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
this is my last song
Its all I got
you shouldn't have broke my heart

What's got you so jumpy?
Why can't you sit still, yeah?
Like gasoline you wanna pump me
And leave me when you get your fill, yeah

Every time I touch you honey you get hot
I want to make love you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours

CHORUS
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just loves to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say

You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting oh so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
Am I just another word in your page, yeah, yeah

Every time I touch you honey you get hot
I want to make love you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours

CHORUS

You're sayin' my love won't do ya
But that ain't love written on your face
Well honey I can see right through ya
We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race

What's right
What's wrong
What's left
What the hell is going on

CHORUS

I can't say I ain't been around
That I ain't done my time
Seems like this big old world
Has been one big shoe to shine

But I never ever took a dime
For what comes naturally
And if I never knew the truth
Well shed be fine with me

One night she stayed over here
And left her little black book behind
Well that little black book ain't little no more
And it wasn't too hard too find

[Chorus]
Shed leave me in this lonely room
The thought just made me sick
Its funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit
Yeah, my baby gets around a bit

Her pager would ring, its a funny thing
Shed have to go right away
She always had a wad of cash
Much more than her job could pay

Id ask her where she's going to
And this is what shed say
I gotta meet someone for an interview
He's only in town today

Always a little bit overdressed
Much more than I thought he'd be
High heel shoes and day glow dress
Ain't seem strange to me

Shed leave me in this lonely room
While some stud got his sex
Just then the thought occurred to me
My baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around a bit
Ooh, my baby gets around a bit

Took her to the local bar
Where I like to hang
Every guy that passed her by
They all seemed to know her name

They all called her by a different name
And one of them winked at me
Some guy named stan said you're the man
I heard you get it for free

Shed leave me in this lonely room
And the thought hit me like a brick
Its funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit
Ooh, my baby gets around a bit
Ooh, my baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around a bit

My baby gets around
My baby

I can't say I ain't been around
That I ain't done my time
Seems like this big old world
Has been one big shoe to shine

But I never ever took a dime
For what comes naturally
And if I never knew the truth
Well shed be fine with me

One night she stayed over here
And left her little black book behind
Well that little black book ain't little no more
And it wasn't too hard too find

[Chorus]
Shed leave me in this lonely room
The thought just made me sick

My baby gets around a bit
Yeah, my baby gets around a bit

My baby gets around a bit

My baby gets around
My baby

So you want to talk about the pain
Talk to me, please explain
Maybe I know what your going through

You got so much pain to hide
You keep it locked up deep inside
In a room no one gets to

I can't feel the way you feel
Maybe i, I've got those same scars, same scars to heal
Wish you've got to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby
To ever

[Chorus]
I'll be there should the sun go down
Lift you up to a higher ground
Let me in, let me be the one
I'll be there should you fall from grace
Wipe those tear drops from your face
I see no more damage done
Baby, baby,
Just let me be the one

I want to be the one to show to you?
Should the rains come down
Never let you drown
I'll pull you through

I want to hear you when you scream
Be your prince when you dream
Hold you close when you cry

I said
I want to feel your love, your hate
Should you be lost, I'll bear your cross of pain
Love seal your fate
I'll comfort you in fits of rage
I'll be the book you can turn the page, and
I'll still love baby
I'll still

Chorus

I gotta touch you I'll see no more damage done
You gotta let me

Solo

I hear the hurt I hear the scars
You can lay your hand right down across my heart
Then you'll learn to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby, ever touch you baby ever

Chorus

I'll be calm in fits of rage
Hold you close in times of pain
I see more damage done
Baby, baby, you got to let me be the one

So you want to talk about the pain
Talk to me, please explain
Maybe I know what your going through

You got so much pain to hide
You keep it locked up deep inside
In a room no one gets to

You gotta let me

Solo

I hear the hurt I hear the scars
You can lay your hand right down across my heart
Then you'll learn to understand

Ever touch you baby, ever touch you baby ever

Chorus

I'll be calm in fits of rage
Hold you close in times of pain

Baby, baby, you got to let me be the one

(yeah, blues!)
I won't ask where you're going
If you don't ask where I've been
'cause if you're looking for an answer, babe
I wouldn't know where to begin.

I don't know what I want sometimes
But I sure know what I likes
You've got that thing about you
Gets me hot inside

If it makes no sense when I wrote this song
Cause half way through it you were turning me on

[Chorus #1:]
Lay me down
I just might be your kind
I'll show you a better way
We can do away the time
If you stop looking so hard
I think you just might find
I ain't finding it so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had

You know a little 'bout love and
I know a lot about hate
I believe you gotta make things happen
You believe in fate

But this won't be the first time that
We didn't see eye to eye
You may not be religious but I'll make you see god
If you give me a try

I know love can get me through it
If you give me that look we'll get down to it

Chorus #2:]
Don't shoot me down
I'm not a social disease
You've got that thing about you
Bring a grown man to his knees
I'll teach you baby
'bout them birds and them bees
When you get around
And think about it ain't so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
Best thing I ever had

[Solo]
Ah, give me some of that!

When I put out the dog
Ya get them old ghosts out of bed.....
I ain't looking for a little to say
Baby some place to lay my head

I'm the one to right your wrong
If you give me a chance and I'll turn you on

[Chorus number one]
[Chorus number two]

(yeah, blues!)
I won't ask where you're going
If you don't ask where I've been
'cause if you're looking for an answer, babe
I wouldn't know where to begin.

I don't know what I want sometimes
But I sure know what I likes
You've got that thing about you
Gets me hot inside

If it makes no sense when I wrote this song
Cause half way through it you were turning me on

[Chorus #1:]

Chorus #2:]
Don't shoot me down
I'm not a social disease
You've got that thing about you
Bring a grown man to his knees
I'll teach you baby
'bout them birds and them bees
When you get around
And think about it ain't so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
Best thing I ever had

[Solo]
Ah, give me some of that!

When I put out the dog
Ya get them old ghosts out of bed.....
I ain't looking for a little to say
Baby some place to lay my head

I'm the one to right your wrong
If you give me a chance and I'll turn you on

[Chorus number one]
[Chorus number two]

Well we're big rock singers
we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
(That sounds like us)
We sing about beauty
and we sing about truth
At ten million dollars a show
(Yeah, right!)
We take all kinda pills
That give us all kinda thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that it gets ya
when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
Chorus:
Rolling Stone
I'm gonna see my picture on the cover
Stone
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
Stone
Gonna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
I got a freaky old lady named Cocaine Katie
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor old gray-haired Daddy
Driving my limousine.
Now it's all designed to blow our minds,
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
Chorus
Spoken: Hey, I know how!!!
Solo
Spoken: Beautiful!
We gotta lot of little teen-aged
blue-eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian Guru
He's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy,
So we never have to be alone
And we keep gettin' richer,
But we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
Chorus
Talking:
I don't know why we ain't on the cover, baby!
Ah we're beautiful fellas!
I ain't kiddin' you man, we'd make a beautiful cover
I mean, I can see it right now--we be up front,
Oh, we be smilin'....Beautiful

Well we're big rock singers
we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
(That sounds like us)
We sing about beauty

That give us all kinda thrills

(here it comes)
Well funky monkey's in the jungle tonight
They got two by two don't hear me right
Band playing loudly baby
Gone are the days when the days gone
I said gone
When the monkeys are gone
Gone or dead this is what they said
chorus
Lost Mary
Cries, cries, cries
Yeah she does, yeah baby, that is what she did
Lions sleeps, baby
the lamb surely dies (??)
I just don't want to funk you
That's it
When the jungle sleeps
Is when the monkey shine
I said you do baby ? don't mind
Back ? are wild
If the deuces left in than the deuces are wild
I said baby, well,


chorus
Lost Mary
Cries, cries, cries
Yeah ?
Lions sleeps, baby
Dies, dies, dies
I just don't want to funk you
ooooh, kick it!
solo
Give me some of that
Well dime store cowboy shoot your gun
Knock them mother f*ckers down one by one
Money on up it's in your face
Gimme no lip or get your face back here
Ooh, got it right
When the monkey don't sleep
And the money don't shine
Well, ??????? missing some words
chorus

When I was a child staring at the tube
I saw sex, violence and death on the news
One day I saw the duke kill someone
Daddy said don't worry boy, they're just acting son

All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
Like them actors I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame

Doin' as I see on my TV
Doin' as I see on my TV

Can I get on the news if I kill my wife?
Would you respect me more if I took my life?
I tried to act and my career just flopped
So I beat up my neighbors and I got on cops

All I want's a millions bucks from somebody
Somebody pay a million bucks to me

I could shoot and rape and kill
And buy me a house in beverly hills, please?

Doin' as I see on my TV
Doin' as I see on my TV

I'd even do a porno flick, like all them hollywood chicks
I'm doin' it as I see on my TV

Took my girl to rent a porno movie
I thought that it'd be kinda groovy
I thought that'd this impress my lover
And there she was right on the cover!

All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
I'm a man I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame

Doin' as I see on my TV
Doin' as I see on my TV

Hell I'd even do a porno flick, like my hero rocky did

Doin' as I see on my TV

Whistling, gargling

(Spoken:) I am not aware!

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

[CHORUS:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yea it does

I listen to your favorite song
playin' on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has it ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess

[CHORUS]

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead if making love
We both made our separate ways

Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

[CHORUS]

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

[CHORUS:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yea it does

I know I could have saved our love that night

We both made our separate ways

Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

[CHORUS]

Looking for what I need
I heard a tale that somewhere
That a dude had a real go at me

So like a rat race cowboy
I slipped into the human zoo
Headed down some trouble
Got myself a drink or two

Well I took to the streets
And I took to the bars
Marched right in but I didn't get far
Manager said hey boy there's the door
But I didn't leave until I evened the score

chorus
I gotta face the hangman
Gotta pay for what I done
I gotta face the hangman
Or by the noose I swing
In the morning sun

Like a tipsy gypsy
Looking like I'd been had
But like the story says
This wild-eyed boy is bad

I got a police squad car
Taxi to the local slam
They said
Son you're gonna pay for what you've done
But I don't give a damn

Just cause I like to drink and dance all night
An alley cat brawl in an old fist fight

Give me no lip boy or I'll kick you in the mouth
Watch you head fly north and your teeth fly south

chorus

Now the judge looked and me and said
"that boy he definitely be guilty"
Ooooh let him swing

solo

chorus
chorus

I've spent my life waiting
For that famous final scene
I believe you know the one--
When she falls in love with me
As for you, you've been fakin' your smile
Fillin' your time
on small talk
And cheap wine
Knowing in your heart there was someplace
That you'd rather be
So right or wrong,
I wrote you this song
To tell you how I feel
Don't put up no fight
You just turn off the lights
Walk over here to me:
And lay your body down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
Oh, let your tears fall down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
As for me I've lied to, denied to
fight with, and tried to
apologize for all my ways
To all the women who were fool enough to fall
in love with me
You played your role
like a movie
Got your lines for who is,
who was, who would be
Somehow you lost track
While real love slipped away, yeah
So for tonight, just turn off the lights
And let those real feelings show
There's no wrong or right
but until you try
you're never gonna know
Before you was mine
I was so lonely
Ain't it a shame
Your heart must feel pain
before you get back on your feet again
Solo
So let's draw the blinds
Forget wasted time
And let them old demons die
Take ahold of my hand
Then you'd understand
Why love's worth one more try out

I've spent my life waiting
For that famous final scene
I believe you know the one--
When she falls in love with me
As for you, you've been fakin' your smile
Fillin' your time
on small talk
And cheap wine
Knowing in your heart there was someplace
That you'd rather be
So right or wrong,

I heard a funny thing about me
Lately I've been living on the edge
I won't say that ain't true,
But who the hell are you
I don't recognize my own face or my friends.
Chorus:
Hey, Mr. Smiley
Read the writing
on the wall
Wake up, Mr. Smiley
Before you don't wake
up at all, up at all
Today, I hired me a yes man
He simply agrees with everything I say
He does all my dirty deals
And feeds me my pills
As long as I'm still breathing he gets paid
Chorus
Solo
Yesterday I had a conversation
With all them voices in my head
One said I was no good
One said I should quit
One said to remind myself to get myself a fix
Chorus
Hey Mr. Smiley
And I'm feeling ten feet tall
Bye Mr. Smiley
You got to go now, they just called, they just called

I heard a funny thing about me
Lately I've been living on the edge
I won't say that ain't true,
But who the hell are you
I don't recognize my own face or my friends.

Chorus:
Hey, Mr. Smiley
Read the writing

Wake up, Mr. Smiley
Before you don't wake
up at all, up at all

Today, I hired me a yes man
He simply agrees with everything I say
He does all my dirty deals
And feeds me my pills
As long as I'm still breathing he gets paid
