Stand back, said stand back!
Can’t you see I’ve lost control I’m getting indiscreet
You’re moving in so close 'til I’m picking up
Picking up this heat, this heat
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room, I did not hear from you
It’s alright, it’s alright
To be standing in a line
To be standing in a line
I would cry
Lovers appear in your room each night
And they whirl you across the floor
But they always seem to fade away
When your daddy taps on your door
Father snores as his wife gets into the dressing gown
Picks up the letter that’s lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy, our baby’s gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head.
Ooh, she’s a little runaway
Daddy’s girl learned fast
All those things he couldn’t say
I’ll see you standin’ there
You don’t care anymore
And love in your life
Stabbin’ knife in my heart
Don’t runaway, midnight hideaway
Don’t you fade away 'til the morning light
(Fadeaway, BoDeans)
How could I dance with another
When I saw her standing there?
Dance with me
I want to be your partner
Can’t you see?
The music is just starting
Night is calling, and I am falling
Dance with me
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I want to drive it all night long
Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What ?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done ?”
God says. “Out on Highway 61”.
When I was just a baby my mama told me
Son, always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry
Just because you’ve become a young man now
There’s still some things that you don’t understand now
Before you ask some girl for her hand now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now
My mama told me, you better shop around
Oh yeah, you better shop around
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Brother you don’t know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on a corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
I have often walked
Down the street before,
But the pavement always stayed
Beneath my feet before
All at once am I
Several stories high,
Knowing I’m on the street where you live
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one, and I walk alone
I’d love to meet some boy
Who I’d love because I’m such a lonely, lonely girl;
I’d like to be the girl
Some guy like to call his one and only, only girl.
He doesn’t have to be especially handsome,
As long as he cares for me and he’s kind of romance-some!
Please try to understand why I cry,
It’s because I’m such a lonely, lonely girl,
Lonely girl,
Lonely girl.
I need a man, perhaps a man like you
I need a man to make my dreams
And I need a man
And then at night I won’t be lonely
Knowing I’m the only one
Such an effort
If he only knew of my plan
In just seven days
I can make you a man
He was on his way home
