And I’m sorry to say that I turned her away  
Though I knew what she said to be true  
That’s the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

If loving you is wrong,  
I don’t want to be right

He punishes hard - was loving her such a crime  
She took back everything she said  
Left him nearly out of his mind  
They’re people I know - people I love  
They seem so unhappy - dead or alive

The man if he marries will batter his child  
And have endless excuses  
The woman, sadly, will do much the same  
Thinking that it’s right and it’s proper  
Better than their mommy or their daddy did  
And better than the childhood they suffered  
The truth is they’re happier when they’re in pain  
In fact, that’s why they got married

Johnny is a man and he’s bigger than her.  
I guess the bruises won’t show if she wears long sleeves  
but the space in her eyes shows through.

You can’t hide those Lyin’ Eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.

Don’t see you in the crowd anymore  
I think it’s you but I can’t be sure  
You’re wearing disguises  
Occasionally a girl surprises me  
When she turns out to be you

I’ve been alone with you inside my mind  
And in my dreams I’ve kissed your lips a thousand times  
I sometimes see you pass outside my door  
Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

I thought it was a dream come true  
When I moved next door to you  
You didn’t seem to notice at all  
When I drilled those holes in your bathroom wall  
I would watch you growing, never knowing  
Where your underwear kept going  
As you checked your washing line  
I would sit and imagine you were mine.

Every breath you take  
Every move you make  
Every bond you break, every step you take  
I’ll be watching you…

If somebody  
Is haunting your mind  
Look in my eyes  
Let me hide you  
From yourself and  
All your old friends  
Every good thing  
Comes to an end.

'Cause I’ve got friends in low places  
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases  
The blues away  
It’ll be okay

Oh, Rapid Roy that stock car boy  
He’s the best driver in the land  
He say that he learned to race a stock car  
By runnin’ shine outta Alabam’  
Oh the demolition derby  
And the figure eight  
Is easy money in the bank  
Compared to runnin’ from the man  
In Oklahoma City  
With a 500 gallon tank

He’s off and flyin’ as he guns the car around the track  
He’s jammin’ down the pedal like he’s never comin’ back  
Adventure’s waitin’ just ahead.

Go Speed Racer  
Go Speed Racer  
Go Speed Racer, Go!

Driving fast makes me feel good  
Speed of light trapped under my hood  
breaking laws cause there’s nothing to do  
Driving the interestate I’m stopped for a 502.

Next time its gonna be you!

Go on and write me up for 125  
Post my face, wanted dead or alive  
Take my license n’ all that jive  
'cause I can’t drive 55!
