*She says she lives for me
Ovation
She’s got her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile *
What she sees is only what she wants to
What she has, she thinks is enough
What she does is just look at the good things
What she is, is a woman in love
What she is, is a woman in love…
It hurts him to think that she is
Hurting her by him being hurt to think
That she thinks he is hurt by making her
Feel guilty at hurting him by her thinking
She wants him to want her. Her wants her to
Want him to get him to want him to get
Him to want her she pretends.
You better think (think),
Think about what you’re trying to do to me.
Think (think, think),
Let your mind go, let yourself be free…
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl I’m sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Can’t get Indiana off my mind,
That’s the place I long to see.
Back in Indiana I will find
All the folks so dear to me.
Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once again.
Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
That’s the town that “knew me when.”
If you’d like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place
That can light my face.
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but–
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
My home sweet home.
If a man ever needed dyin’, he did
No one had the right to say what he said about you
And it’s so cold and lonely here without you
Out there the law’s a comin’
I’m gettin’ so tired of runnin’
Indiana wants me, Lord, I can’t go back there
Indiana wants me, Lord, I can’t go back there
I wish I had you to talk to
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I’d roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I’d search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
Well a hush fell over the pool room
Jimmy come boppin’ in off the street
And when the cuttin’ were done
The only part that wasn’t bloody
Was the soles of the big man’s feet
"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you’ve done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don’t think I’m weak, I didn’t turn the other cheek
And papa, I sure hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you’re a man
Don’t step out of this house if that’s the clothes you’re gonna wear
I’ll kick you out of my home if you don’t cut that hair
Your mom busted in and said, what’s that noise?
Aw, mom you’re just jealous it’s the Beastie Boys!
You gotta fight for your right to party
You gotta fight for your right to party
Ooh, ooh, ooh It’s Party time
Time to get you off my mind
Forget those dreams that won’t come true
Well, mama dear, tell me, do you hear?
They’re partying tonight
I tell you, I can’t sleep
Because across the street
Whoa, oh, I see the party lights (mama, mama)
I see the lights, I see the party lights
They’re red and blue and green
Everybody in the crowd’s there
But you won’t let me make a scene
Tag Team, back again
Check it to wreck it, let’s begin
Party on, party people, let me hear some noise
DC’s in the house, jump, jump, rejoice
Says there’s a party over here, a party over there
Wave your hands in the air, shake your derriere
These three words mean you’re gettin’ busy,
Whoomp, there it is! Hit me!
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if it happened to you.
What will it take to make you happy
what will it take to stop your whining
what will it take to make you amscray
what will it take to stop your crying
I know that you’ve been so bored since the Circle K closed down
so if it makes you feel a bit better just picture me
crying crying in my beer
He said “I’ll love you till I die”, she told him “You’ll forget in time”
As the years went slowly by, she still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall, went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all, hoping she’d come back again
Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red every single "I love you
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together,
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead,
I found this letter, and this is what it said:
“If you get there before I do, don’t give up on me,
I’ll meet you when my chores are through; I don’t know how long I’ll be.
But I’m not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, 'til I see you again, I’ll be loving you.
Love, Me.”
I start walkin’ your way
You start walkin’ mine
We’ll meet in the middle
'Neath that old Georgia pine…
