I am tired of you telling me what I ought to do Stickin' your nose in my business and it don't concern you It's my own business, it's my own business Seems like the ones that want to tell you They don't ever know as much as you
If I go buy a Cadillac convertible coupe And all I got at home to eat is just onion soup It's my own business, it's my own business If I would rather ride around In my own Cadillac convertible coupe
If I's a dignatary on Capitol Hill And up and married me a waitress in a hot dog grill It's my own business, it's my own business Because I am not a juvenile And I can go out at my own free wil
After workin' on my job and then drawin' my pay If I want to go out and have a ball and throw it all away It's my own business, it's my own business 'Cause I don't wait until tomorrow To do something I could do today
There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder Thought I heard you mention my name, can't you talk any louder? Don't come any closer, don't come any nearer My vision of you can't come any clearer Oh, I just wanna hear girls talk
Got a loaded imagination being fired by girls talk It's a more or less situation inspired by girls talk But I can't say the words you wanna hear I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear, right here, and now
Girls talk And they wanna know how girls talk And they say it's not allowed, girls talk If they say that it's so Don't they think that I know by now
That the word up on everyone's lipstick that you're dedicated You may not be an old-fashioned girl but you're gonna get dated Was it really murder, were you just pretending Lately I have heard you are the living end

Outside my window I can hear the radio And I know that motor wagon is ready to fly 'Cause it's almost Saturday night
Bye bye tomorrow Jody's gone to the rodeo And you know some good old boys getting ready to ride 'Cause it's almost Saturday night

Got out really early from the factory Drivin' like a nut in the rain Don't think I was actin' so hysterically But I didn't see a thing until it came Met the dumb suburbos in the takeaway Beating up the Chinee at the counter I put a few inside me at the end of the day I took out my revenge on the revolution counter
Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage Into a brand new car
In walks Bud with his exploding nose He's been giving it maximum today Shouted, How the devil, you in trouble, I suppose All you ever do is run away Gunned up the motor inta hyperdrive I wasn't gonna take any of that Don't get bright ideas about a suicide 'Cause all I ever hear is, Zoom, bam, fantastic

Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage Into a brand new car
Nothin' seems to happen that ain't happened before I see it all through flashes of depression I drop my drink and hit some people runnin' for the door Gotta make some kind of impression 'Cause when I'm disconnected from the drivin' wheel I'm only half the man I should be Metal hitting metal is-a all I feel Everything is good as it poss-i-bul-ly could be

Well, the bride looked a picture in the gown that her mama wore When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before She had to change the style a little but it looked just fine They stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's a-walkin' down the aisle And she catches my eye and she gives me a secret smile Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once were close friends Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then.

Now her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best And so he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest You could've called the reception an unqualified success At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests
Take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice But I remember a time when she would never even look him twice
But I can see her now drinkin' with the boys Breakin' their hearts like they were toys She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Well I can see her now with her headphones on Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song I still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noise Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys She used to love to party, she used to love to go I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll Hey!
