Just a bunch of guys getting in the car
No matter who's driving or for how far.
Feels so good, yeah it's been so long.
No fancy drivers tell us how to drive
Me and the boys.
Just me and the boys.
Me and the boys.
Me and my buddies just like to go
We're having fun. Everybody knows.
We don't fuss and we never cry.
We're just grooving, taking in the sights.
Me and the boys.
Just me and the boys.
Me and the boys.
Don't raise questions about how it's done.
We're just messing round, having fun.
The car gears shifting well up and down.
The muffler smells a lot, but we love the sound.
Me and the boys.
Just me and the boys.
Me and the boys.
It ain't like us to hang around this town
Cause squares just bring us down.
I've got to find me something new.
Don't want to think about what they do.
The future's coming round, and we don't care,
Cause wherever we're going, we'll soon get there.
Me and the boys!
Just me and the boys!
Written by Chip Taylor
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me oh my baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Then slowly turn away from me
Maybe the sunlight will be dimmed
And it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echoes says we've sinned
Then it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light oh my baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Then slowly turn away from me
Baby baby baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me oh my baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
Never though it could happen like this
You have taken away my will to resist
Shiver inside when you hold me tight
It feels so good with you tonight
I didn't beleve I had a half that chance
Like something you read in a cheep romance
But we will give him something new to write
It feels so good with you tonight
Outside my window,
I can hear the radio,
And I know that motor wagon gettin' ready to fly,
'Cause it's almost Saturday night!
Bye-bye tomorrow.
Judges gone to the rodeo,
And you know some good old boy's gettin' ready to ride,
'Cause it's almost Saturday night!
Gonna push all the clouds away,
Let the music have its way,
Let it steal my heart away,
And you know I'm goin'!
Outside they're ringin'.
The night train is bringin' me home.
When you hear that locomotion get ready to ride,
'Cause it's almost Saturday night!
Gonna push all the clouds away,
Let the music have its way,
Let it steal my heart away,
'Cause you know I'm goin'!
Outside they're ringin'.
The night train is bringin' me home.
When you hear that locomotion get ready to ride,
'Cause it's almost Saturday night!
(Outside my window, outside…)
It's almost Saturday night!
(Outside the ringin', outside…)
'Cause it's almost Saturday night!
(Outside my window, outside…)
I see I gotta be headin' for pain
I see a broken heart wearin' my name
You're handin' me, sure as stars up above,
Warmed over kisses, left over love
You got another love you're runnin' to
You been a-cheatin' in some rendezvous
You're handin' me, sure as stars up above,
Warmed over kisses, left over love
You say that I'm the only one
Oh, how I want it to be
But, when I kiss your pretty lips
You've got nothing left for me
You gotta wanna be breakin' my heart
I know we gotta be driftin' apart
You're handin' me, sure as stars up above,
Warmed over kiss, left over love
You're handin' me, sure as stars up above,
I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside
like my heart's sprung a big break
and a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
that I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard
since you wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide in sarrow
when I may lay right down and bawl
Chorus
Now the race is on
and here comes pride in the backstreatch
Heartaches goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back
They're tryin' not to fall
My hearts out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
and the winner looses all
One day I ventured in love
never once suspectin' what the final result would be
and how I lived in fear of waking up each morning
finding that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart
for today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
and I came out in second place
Chorus
Now the race is on
and here comes pride in the backstreatch
Heartaches goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back
They're tryin' not to fall
My hearts out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
I've been trying to make you love me
But everything I try just takes you further from me
You don't love me, and so you treat me cruel
But no matter you hurt me, I'll always be a fool
If you don't want me forever
If you don't need me forever
If you don't love me forever
Take me for a little while so I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want
I've got to stop it, there should be a law
Cause everytime you put me down, I want you more
Oh, I feel so helpless, and it ain't funny
Cause deep inside I know you're never gonna love me
If you don't want me forever
If you don't need me forever
If you don't love me forever
Take me for a little while so I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want
(Take me for a little while) So I could hold you, baby
(Take me for a little while) So I could make you want
(Take me for a little while) You know I got to have you
(Take me for a little while) You know I'll do anything
for you
(Take me for a little while, take me for a little
while)
Take anything you want (Take me for a little while)
Take anything you need (Take me for a little while)
You know I want you dear (Take me for a little while)
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia,
California on my mind.
We straddled that Greyhound, rode him into Raleigh,
On across Caroline.
We stopped at Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill,
We never was a minute late.
And we was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,
Rollin' outa Georgia state.
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle,
Half way 'cross Alabam,
When that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham.
So right away I bought me a through train ticket,
Right across Mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flyer outa Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans.
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just help me get to Houston town.
Well there are people there who care a little 'bout me
And they won't let the poor boy down.
Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit,
Put luggage in my hands,
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land.
Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the Golden State;
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate.
Swing low chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone;
Cut your engines, an cool your wings,
And let me make it to the telephone.
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia,
Dial forty four ten O nine
And tell the folks back home this is the promised land
callin'
It's just a television wonderland
It's one more fairytale about a rich bitch
Lying by the swimming pool
Life is so cool
Easy living when you make the rules
Last friday was the first time
It only took about a half a minute
On the stairway
It was child's play
The odds turn out even when you give up believing in
Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the
gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw
The politicians have forgotten this place
Except for a flying visit in a black Mercedes
On election time
They cross the line
And everybody runs to watch the pantomime
If they could see what's going on around here
So many people hanging onto the edge
Crying out for revolution
Retribution
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the
Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the
gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Sometimes I do a line, makes me laugh
Makes me wanna take a joyride
On the high tide
Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide
Meanwhile Eddy is on the west coast
I know he's making out with some sweet senorita
Up in Frisco
You and I know
The odds turn out even
Whe you give up believing in the
Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the
gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Well, I never felt more like singing the blues
And I never thought
that I'd ever lose your love
Why did you do me this way?
Well, I never felt more like crying all night
Everything's wrong
But nothing is right without you
You've got me singing the blues
Well, the moon and the stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry-i-i-i over you
Cry over you
Well, I never felt more like running away
And why shouldn't I go
'Cause I couldn't stay without you
You've got me singing the blues.
Well, the moon and the stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry-i-i-i over you
Cry over you
Well, I never felt more like running away
And why shouldn't I go
'Cause I couldn't stay without you
You've got me singing the blues
(Mr. Paul Wiggins, Come on Paul)
Well, the moon and the stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry-i-i-i over you
Cry over you
Well, I never felt more like running away
And why shouldn't I go
'Cause I couldn't stay without you
You've got me singing the blues
You've got me singing the blues
Out of all the reindeers you know you're the mastermind
Run run Rudolph Randalph ain't too far behind
Run run Rudolph Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry tell him he can take the freeway
down
Run run Rudolph cause I'm reelin like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a boy child What have you been longing for?
All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric
guitar
And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting
star
Run run Rudolph Santa's got to make it to town come on
Santa make him hurry tell him he can take the freeway
down
Run run Rudolph reeling like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a girl child "What would please you most to
get?
A little baby doll that can cry sleep and wet
And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet
Run run Rudolph Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry tell him he can take the freeway
down
Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205 Hoping it'll take
me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise Won't
you keep my heart from breaking
If it's only for a very short time
Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't
really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you
Baby, it makes me feel so bad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
And baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handing out the heartaches You know
you got to have you some
Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't
really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you
Lovers, I know you've had a few You hide your heart
beneath the covers
And you tell 'em they're the only one And others know
what I'm going through
It's so hard to be a lover When you say you only do it
for fun
Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't
really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you
To keep me away from you To keep me away from you

Monday ain't a fun day, Tuesday's a blue day
Wednesday's a frenzy, Thursday's the worst day
Friday is great 'cause I can
Hardly wait until the weekend
I should be clockin' in at eight but I'm a little late
Can't blame my baby, 'cause I took her on a date
Two till ten and then it's Friday again
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
My working week's so tough
I think I've had enough
Until the weekend
I've had an overdose of doctor's notes
But it just don't ease the pain
Goin' on the sick don't do the trick
Sooner or later I'll be clockin' in again
Working like a dog more than ten-hour day
Never see enough from my take-home pay
They pay me for the shift like I was given a gift
Here comes the weekend
I've had an overdose of doctor's notes
But it just don't ease the pain
Goin' on the sick don't do the trick
Sooner or later I'll be clockin' in again
Someday I'll be able to forget my working days
Life will be a grin because my ship is comin' in
Everything will go my way and I won't have to say
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
My working week's so tough
I think I've had enough
Until the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Here comes the weekend
Mother and daughter fighting it out
Who's gonna stay home tonight
Who wears the make up, hangs on the phone
It always seems to end in a fight
It don't seem long since momma was a child bride
She got married in a hurry
Sixteen years old on the day
Ooh what a wedding, driving 'til dawn
With a rock n'roll band to play
She wore black when daddy gave the the bride away
It's just a generation rumble
A war between two worlds
Givin' momma lots of trouble
Baby's getting married but she's still her daddy's
little girl
Now the years roll by - the family brings
Big changes onto the scene
Sweet sixteen's turned thirty four
But boy, she's still the same little queen
Life's full of trips - she's gonna follow evry dream
It's just a generation rumble
A war between two worlds
Givin' momma lots of trouble
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
Mother and daughter fighting it out
Who's gonna get their own way
Doctor says, "Take it easy now
Take two of these every day."
Doctor, doctor, you can throw your pills away
It's just a generation rumble
A war between two worlds
Givin' momma lots of trouble
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
There's a girl living in this town
She's a fox and she knows it well
All the fellows for miles around want to get her but
they never will
Just to have a girl with so much class
They'd crawl a mile over broken glass
And she'd let em do it just for a game
Deborah's her name
Deborah
Heart breaking love making connissure
Deborah
Deborah's her name
She's the kind that never follows fashion
Gotta make up her own
All the other kids quick to catch on act like they've
always known
But you should see em when the lights go down
Looking at her as she moves around
Pretty soon they're gonna look the same as the famous
Deborah
Deborah
Heart breaking love making connissure
Deborah
Deborah's her name
One day when my ship comes in
I'm gonna make her wonder where I've been
I'll get some money and I'll jump in my car
I'll go and make a meal of Deborah
I'll take her driving up to the top
When we get started ain't gonna stop
I'm gonna go and pick that wild flower
And her name is Deborah
Deborah
Heart breaking love making connissure

Deborah's her name

Closer to the flame
With every kiss I came a little closer
Closer to the flame
Girl I feel it burning
Still I keep returning
You brought me in
Out of the darkness
Closer to the flame
With every kiss I came a little closer
Closer to the flame
Closer to the flame
In the dark of the night
When you call my name
In the dark of the night
I can feel it grow as I'm getting closer
By your side
Satisfied
Through and through
Cause I was born to be with you
Do I find
Peace of mind
Yes, I do
Cause I was born to be with you
Wonderously
Love can be
So I knew
That I was born to be with you
Yes I knew
Went downtown to see my cousin
He plays guitar like a chainsaw buzzin'
In the crowd I see his mom and dad
I said, hey uncle, man your son is bad
Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
I said cool is a rule but sometimes bad is bad
Across the street, a neon sign
All you can eat for a dollar ninety-nine
This old stew is the baddest in the land
But one dollar's worth was all that I could stand
Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad
I came back uptown to see my Marie
Nobody home, so I opened the door with my key
I love you baby was the note that I read
But there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed
Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad
I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad
Have I ever told you how good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain
And though I'm really trying I think I may start crying
My heart can't wait another day
When you hold me I just gotta say
Baby I love you C'mon baby
Baby I love you Ooh-baby
Baby I love only you
I can't live without you I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way
Oh, I'm so glad I found you I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh, tell me that ya feel the same
Baby I love you C'mon baby

Well, the work whistle blew about a half past five
o'clock
I saw the red light on the corner, man I never tried to
stop
Got pulled over by a man in blue
He said, what the hell you tryin'a do?
I told him 'bout my baby, he let me go, thanks a lot
Got invited to a party at a high school Hollywood pool
There were women all around me, man I began to drool
I weighed the evidence at hand
I said, Girls you gotta understand
Since I met my baby, I've been livin' by the Golden
Rule
Aw, there ain't nobody gonna make me shout
Ain't nobody gonna put me out
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Like my sweet little Lisa does
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing
Make me do the wrong damn thing
I'm sinking my head in a cold, cold stream
Like my sweet little Lisa do
I was hauling out of Dallas, got pulled over by a
debutante
She was playing with her gearshift
I was being kinda nonchalant
Said she'd take me up to her room
Keep me following with the Lorna Doones
I got a sweet sugar mama gonna give me everything I
want
Cause ain't nobody gonna make me shout
Ain't nobody gonna put me out
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Like my sweet little Lisa does
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing
Make me do the wrong damn thing
I'm sinking my head in a cold, cold stream
Like my sweet little Lisa do
Aw, ain't nobody gonna make me shout
Ain't nobody gonna put me out
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Like my sweet little Lisa does
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing
Make me do the wrong damn thing
I'm sinking my head in a cold, cold stream
Like my sweet little Lisa do

I can feel you slipping away from me.
A little bit further now every day.
I'm holding on, but I can't believe
This is how you want it to be.
Oh, you're slipping away.
Oh, you're slipping away.
It feels like walking down a long, dark road.
You never talk to me the way you did before.
You ride through the city with your head held high.
And all I can do is watch you go by.
Oh, you're slipping away.
Oh, you're slipping away.
I'm gonna give it all I've got to give.
I've got to hold on, see what tomorrow brings.
You're slipping away, but give me one more try.
One more chance to wipe these tears from my eyes.
You're slipping away.
Other guys' girls seem to look even better.
Go out and get them other guys' girls.
Other guys' girls seem to treat them so right.
More charm, no lies.
Other guys' girls.
Other guys' girls always look so disarming,
Oh so charming, so alarming!
Why can't you be like those other guys' girls?
Other guys' girls never have much trouble showing affection,
Other guys' girls.
Other guys' girls seem much better to my eyes.
More charm, no lies.
Other guys' girls.
Other guys' girls, so good to their men!
Other guys' girls so mesmerizing.
Why can't you be like those other guys' girls?
Sometimes, I wonder if it's really me.
All kinds of trouble that I'm giving you.
I must be calm.
And I've got to try to work it out.
Other guys tell me they feel the same way,
Can't keep their eyes off other guys' girls.
They all say that I'm very lucky. They wish they had
This guy's girl.
So, I say I'm sorry, please don't worry.
I'll try to stop my eye from wandering.
TIl I act more like those other guys.
Why can't I be like those other guys?
CHORUS:
If you don't want, you don't havta get into trouble,
If you don't want, you don't havta get into trouble,
If you don't want, you don't havta get into trouble,
You just leave my woman alone. Well!
CHORUS
I know that you are a playboy, and you've got women all
over town,
But if I ever catch you sweet-talkin' my little girl,
I'm gonna lay your body down!
CHORUS
I know that you got the money, you got a new '57 too,
If I ever catch my little girl ridin' in your new car,
I'm gonna do some work on you!
CHORUS
CHORUS
You just leave my woman alone, yeah!
You just leave my woman alone, well!
You just leave my woman alone, mm-hmm.
I was just 16 years old,
And Maggie's hair was black as coal.
And I felt this heart of mine go slipping away.
Now, her eyes were bright as the stars up above.
Every word Maggie spoke was love.
And I felt this heart of mine go slipping away.
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again.
We don't care if we don't ever do
Fall back out again!
Time went on and my love it got stronger.
Me and Maggie couldn't wait any longer.
We had to go to town right away to see the Ju Ju Man.
I said, "Please please tell me, Mr. Ju Ju Man,
Read the cards that you've got in your hand.
I've got to make a plan for me and my Maggie love."
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again.
We don't care if we don't ever do
Fall back out again!
Maggie's Mama, she'd like to hang me.
Maggie's Pa, now, I know he'd like to chain me,
Cause he don't understand a word of what I said.
I said, "Please, Mr. Ju Ju Man,
Will I be holding Maggie's hand
When the robin sings again in the Spring, next June?"
Falling in love again,
Falling in love again.
We don't care if we don't ever do
She's been around me all the while.
Try as I might, I can't forget her smile.
In passing conversation, what did I hear her say?
Where did she come from? Who is that woman anyway?
What can I do to change her mind?
Maybe she thinks that I'm just not her kind.
I think she wants me but she's trying to play hard to get.
When she treats me this way, I wish we'd never met.
Information, that's what I need,
Some information. Where did she come from?
Information, that's what I need.
Some information.
Information, that's what I need,
Some information. Where did she come from?
Information, give me a lead.
Some information.
The lights go down, the music's loud.
She's not around, I lost her in the crowd.
I really want her, but she's just a mystery.
What have I got to do to make her notice me?
Information, that's what I need,
Some information. Where did she come from?
Information, that's what I need.
Some information.
Information, that's what I need,
Some information. Where did she come from?
Information, give me a lead.
Some information.
If only I could find a way.
What do I have to do to make her stay?
I've got to find her again and try to steal her heart.
What I need is a lead, but I don't know where to start.
Information, that's what I need,
Some information. Where did she come from?
Information, that's what I need.
Some information.
Information, that's what I need,
Some information. Where did she come from?
Information, give me a lead.
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.
Well I can see her now in the tight blue jeans
Pumpin' all the money in the record machine
Spinnin' like a top, you shoulda seen her 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
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
Well take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as
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
You went away and left me long time ago
And now you're knocking on my door
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you've been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
And now you're telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you've been
Ahhh yeah
Let me hear it
Ohhooo woo
OOhh
You better get to your use-to-be
'Cause your kind of love ain't good to me
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you've been
I told you way back in 52
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you've been
Yeah
You wake up in the morning and another night's gone.
You tumble out of bed and turn the radio on,
But you just can't think about the day to come
Cause you're thinking about them high school nights.
Making all the moves, gotta do it in style.
It merely makes the high school day worthwhile.
When the work piles high
And the day drags by
And you never see the end in sight.
I remember those high school nights.
We had it made them high school nights.
Those were the days – them high school nights –
You will remember all your life.
The day moves ahead about a light-year long.
You hurry through the halls singing your school song,
But you just can't follow what the hell's going on
Cause you're thinking 'bout them high school nights.
Staring out the window in a daydream world.
Looking at the parking lot, checking out the girls.
There's a lesson going on, but it ain't getting heard
Cause you're wondering what'll happen tonight.
I remember those high school nights.
I'm gonna miss those high school nights.
They were the best, those high school nights.
You will remember all your life.
High school nights, we had it made.
Them high school nights, those were the days.
Them high school nights could be the best days of your life.
The dean's in his office and the writing's on the wall.
Some of us will make it, someone's gonna fall,
But it really don't matter cause we're gonna have a ball
When we hit another high school night.
I still remeember those high school nights.
We had it made, them high school nights.
Those were the days – them high school nights –
You will remember all your life.
High school nights, I'm gonna miss.
Those high school nights, they were the best.

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
Bein' 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'd know by now?
Got 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've heard..."
"You are the living end"
Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed, girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
If they say that it's so
Don't they think that I'd now by now?
But I can't say
The words you wanna hear
I suppose you're gonna have to
Play it by ear, I hear
There are some things you can't cover up
With lipstick and powder
But 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
(Written by Bruce Springsteen)
At 16, she quit high school, to make her fortune in the Promised Land.
She got a job behind the counter at an all-night hamburger stand.
She wrote faithfully home to Mama, "Now mama, don't you worry none.
From small things, Mama, big things one day come."
It was late one Friday, he pulled in out of the dark.
He was tall and handsome. First she took his order, then she took his heart.
They bought a house up on a hillside where little feet would soon run.
From small things, Mama, big things one day come.
Oh, but luck was fleeting. It's sad but it's true.
When your heart is bleeding, you don't want to hear it abused.
She packed her bags and went to Wyoming with a real estate man.
She drove down to Tampa in an Eldorado Grand.
She wrote back, "Dear Mama, life is just heaven in the sun.
From small things, Mama, big things one day come."
Well, she shot him dead on a sunny Florida road.
When they caught her, all she said was she couldn't stand the way he drove.
Back home, lonesome Johnny waits for his baby's parole.
He waits high on the hillside where the wide-open rivers roll.
At his feet and almost grown now, a blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son.
From small things, Mama, big things one day come.
Word spill out on an empty page,
Every time I see her,
My friends say ‘better act your age’,
Every time I see her.
I don’t care if it seems I’ve lost my mind,
Is it just imagination or does something crazy happen every time?
I wanna hold her but I lose my grip,
Every time I see her,
I fall in love coz I always drift,
Every time I see that girl.
I try to turn away but I gotta look back,
Every time I see her,
I feel like a train coming off the track,
Every time I see her.
I don’t know if it seems I’ve lost control,
I don’t know if what I’m feeling is really love, I just don’t know.
I wanna tell her that I love her but I lose my nerve,
Every time I see her,
My tongue gets tied and I’m lost in the words,
Every time I see her.
I wanna hold her but I lose my grip,
Every time I see her,
I fall in love coz I always drift,
Every time I see that girl.
I don’t care if it seems I’ve lost my mind,
Is it just imagination or does something crazy happen every time?
I try to stay cool but I lose my head,
Every time I see her,
She looks me in the eyes and my brain goes dead,
Every time I see her.
I don’t know if it seems I’ve lost control,
I don’t know if what I’m feeling is really love, I just don’t know.
I wanna hold her but I lose my grip,
Every time I see her,
I fall in love coz I always drift,
Every time I see that girl.
I wanna tell her that I love her but I lose my nerve,
Every time I see her,
My tongue gets tied and I’m lost in the words,
Every time I see that girl.
Every time I see that girl.
Every time I see that girl.
Every time I see that girl.
Every time I see that girl.
Every time I see that girl.
Got out really early from the factory
Driving like a nut in the rain
Don't think I was acting so hysterically
But I didn't see a thing until it came
Man, the drunks were verbal 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
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half a brain would get
the message
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
In walks Bud with his exploding nose
He'd been giving it maximum today
He shouted "How the devil? You in trouble I suppose?
But 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 bam past me
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half a brain would get
the message
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage,
Into a brand new car.
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage,
Crawling from the wreckage.
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawling from the wreckage,
Crawling from the wreckage,
Into a brand new car.
Nothing seem to happen that ain't happened before
I see it all through flashes of depression.
I drop my drink and hit some people running for the
door.
Gotta make some kind of impression.
'Cause when I'm disconnected from the driving wheel,
I'm only half the man I should be.
But metal hitting metal is all I feel,
And everything is good as it possibly could be
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would
get the message
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and on the hedges
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
Crawling from the wreckage
