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
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
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

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
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
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 She starts talkin' dirty right in my ear Making herself so perfectly clear She needs some good love 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 But if they knew my baby they would understand The neighbors keep yellin' bout all the noise They say the things you're doin' ain't natural, boy Well my baby she just loves to play And I need my baby each and every day Need some good love We're hoppin' and a bobbin' in the old moonlight Rockin' and a rollin' til the morning light Gettin hot....good love Bring it home Solo Well my baby she just loves to play And I need my baby each and every day Need some good love Well my daddy thinks that I've gone crazy And my poor boss swears I'm losin' my cool But I just want to play with my baby If you only knew what she could do She starts talkin' dirty right in my ear Makin' herself so perfectly clear need some good love Baby she just loves to play and I need my baby each and every day Start hoppin' bobbin' in the old moonlight Rockin' and a rollin' til the morning light Gettin' hot, hot, hot good love so damn hot
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 I'm comin' home
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 I'm comin' home now
I can taste your sweet emotion I can feel it runnin' hot Our veins of passion pumping so strong We're like gas and fire got a burnin' desire Them sparks are gonna fly and we'll be
Chorus: Shakin' shakin' Tearin' down the walls Little by little, inch by inch Tearin' down the walls Screamin' scratchin' Tearin' down the walls Little by little, inch by inch 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 We're like gas and fire got a burnin' desire Them sparks are gonna fly and we'll be
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
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 dice of her life
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
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
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
Remember the nights we sat And talked about all our dreams Well, little did we know then They were distant than they seemed Well I, oh I knew it, hey you knew it too The things we'd go through Well, we knew the things, we had to do To make it, baby
You gotta cry tough Out on the streets To make your dreams happen You gotta cry out Out to the world To make them all come true
Life ain't no easy ride At least that's what I am told Sometimes the rainbow, baby Is better than the pot of gold Well I, you've got to stick it out Whether you're wrong or right And you can't give in without a fight To make it, baby
You gotta cry tough Out on the streets To make your dreams happen You gotta cry out Out to the world To make them all come true
Well, you gotta aim high, baby Whether you lose or win And when you get to the top You gotta get off or go right back down again
You gotta cry tough Out on the streets To make your dreams happen You gotta cry out Out to the world To make them all come true
Well, you gotta cry tough Out on the streets To make your dreams happen You gotta cry out Out to the world To make them all come true
You gotta cry tough Out on the streets To make your dreams happen You gotta cry out Out to the world To make them all come true ...
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
I went to bed too late and got up too soon My poor head still spinnin' from too much booze I got a foot in the gutter a foot in the grave I ain't seen home in the last three days
CHORUS Oh my god look what the cat dragged in Livin' my life sin after sin Night rolls up and I do it again Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in
No tell, motel, hotel bed If it wasn't for the sunlight I'd swear I was dead
I got a girl on the left of me a girl on the right I know damn well I slept with both last night
CHORUS
I'm late for work on Monday and my boss is bitchin' Can't get out of bed cause my head's still spinnin' My hair's in a rat's nest, I look like hell Half alive or half dead, I just can't tell !!
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
She's got pizzazz Like a razzmatazz I'd like to slide it in But where do I begin
Wastes all my money Spends all my time I ain't got no luck Can't change her mind
Chorus: Blame it on you I can't stand up Blame it on you I'm keepin' my mouth shut Blame it on you I can't see straight Blame it on you Uh-oh, too late
I want a little reaction How 'bout a kiss or two? She said, "jump back honey," I said, "no can do."
Why do you always make a fool out of me? I can't get no nookie Just plain to see
Wastes all my money Spends all my time I ain't got no luck Can't change her mind
Chorus: Blame it on you I can't get no sleep Blame it on you I'm in six feet deep Blame it on you Well I guess it's true Blame it on you Yes, I do
I blame this whole damn mess, honey Right on you
Solo
Now listen little girl, let me explain Why you got me in such a terrible way
