Love on the Rocks
|
|
She goes down slow like a shot of gin She's got an angel's face and a 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." Love on the rocks Love on the rocks She's my shot Love on the rocks Ooooh lick it up She gets so close you can feel her breathe Just the way she moves, so soft and slippery She lives just around the corner, right down the street All night we play the horizontal bop right between her sheets Love on the rocks Love on the rocks She's my shot Love on the rocks Ooooh lick it up |

Nothin' But a Good Time
|
|
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 |

Back to the Rocking Horse
|
|
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 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 Back to the rockin' horse Back to where it all began Take me back-back to the rockin' horse And start all over again |

Good Love

|
Well, I call 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 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 We're hoppin' and a bobbin' in the old moonlight Rockin' and a rollin' til the morning light Gettin hot... good love |

Tearin' Down the Walls

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 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 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 |

Look But You Can't Touch
|
|
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 wanna talk that's fine with me But if you want more you'd better let me be 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 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 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 |

Fallen Angel
|
|
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 Wants 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 Wants 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 Wants it all - Mama's fallen angel Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life |

Every Rose Has Its Thorn
|
|
We both lie silently still In the dead of the night Although we both lie close together We feel miles apart inside Was it something I said or something I did Did the words not come out right Though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried But I guess that's why they say Every rose has its thorn Just like every night has its dawn Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song Every rose has its thorn I listen to our favorite song Playing on the radio Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come And easy go But I wonder does he know Has he ever felt like this And I know that you'd be here somehow If I could have let you know somehow I guess every rose has its thorn Just like every night has its dawn Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song Every rose has its thorn Though it's been a while now I can still feel so much pain Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals but the scar, that scar remains I know I could have saved a love that night If I'd known what to say Instead of makin' love We both made our separate ways But now I hear you 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 I guess every rose has its thorn Just like every night has its dawn Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song Every rose has its thorn |

Your Mama Don't Dance
|
|
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 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 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 thinkin' "Bret, this is a breeze" There's a light in my eye and a guy says "Out of the car, long hair!" You're coming with me Said the local police 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 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 |

Bad to Be Good
|
|
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 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 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 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 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 it's said and done and you're on the run And the only law comes under the gun |
