What have I gotta do to make you love me?
What have I gotta do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you’re not there?
What do I do to make you want me?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it’s all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
Now lightning strikes in old
New York
It may be dark but I want to talk
It might rain, it might snow
Too many things I got to know
When I see lips beggin’ to be kissed (stop)
I can’t stop (stop) I can’t stop myself (stop, stop)
Lightning is striking again
Some turnout, a hundred grand
Get with it, we’ll shake his hand
Don’t bother to understand
Don’t question the little man
Be part of the brotherhood
Yes, it’s chain lightning
It feels so good
Your life long membership is free,
Keep a-giving each brother all you can.
Oh, aren’t you proud to be in that fraternity,
The great big brotherhood of man?
I said, come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it’s getting late
Oh, please don’t hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone
Everyone, we got to get together, now
Oh, yeah, love’s the only thing that matters anyhow
And the beauty of life can only survive
If we love one another
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
Wait, who’s that guy?
Just hangin’ at your pad
He’s lookin’ kinda (bummed)
Yeah, you broke up that’s too bad
I guess it’s fair
If he always pays the rent
And he doesn’t get bent
About sleepin’ on the couch when I’m there
It’s knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it’s knowing I’m not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
When it’s cold outside and you want to sleep in
Go for a pallet that’s so nice and thin
Zip it on around while it’s on the ground
Spread it out and lay it on down
Slip inside my sleeping bag
Slip inside my sleeping bag
((What I always appreciated about ZZ Top was the subtlety of their lyrics. 
))
Lay down, Sally, and rest here in my arms
Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I’ve been trying all night long just to talk to you
Rap, rap, rap
They call him the Rapper
Rap, rap, rap
You know what he’s after
So, he starts his rappin’
Hopin’ something will happen
He’ll say he needs you
A companion, a girl he can talk to
He’s made up his mind
He needs someone to sock it to
I was in my apartment all alone
when I heard a ring tingling on the telly-phone,
I said “Who’s that at half past three?”
And a frightening voice came back at me!
“Sssssss! Ssssssss! I am The Viper!
I’ll sssee you in seven weekss”
Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That’s what I’d say
I’d tell you everything
If you’d pick up that telephone
Hello,
From the other side(other side)
I must’ve called you a thousand times(thousand times)
To tell you I’m sorry for everything I’ve done.
But when I call,
You never seem to be home…
You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Baby, you’re never there
On the phone
Long, long distance
Always through such strong resistance
First you say you’re too busy
I wonder if you even miss me
Long, long distance love affair, oh, oh
I can’t find you anywhere, oh, oh
I call you on the telephone
But you’re never home
