Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-Motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learnin' your ABCs
So, come on, come on, and do the Loco-Motion with me
To say I have been missing you
Is the worst thing possible I could ever do
And to sleep one more night next to you
Should be out of the question
Don't ask me no question like
If I love you because I don't
I don't love you, selfish don't love nobody
I can't love you like you should be loved
I was good for you
You were bad for me
I was solid ground
You were broken wings
I gave you love, you gave me pain
You gave me hell, I gave you grace
I was good for you
You were bad for me
Persuaded, paraded, inebriated, and down
Still aware of everything life carries on without
'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smiles
Got to find the shortest path to the bar for a while
You know with love comes strange currencies
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance
A fourth chance, a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself
And make it real, real
When you feel love coming down on you
Like a heavy wave
When you feel this crazy society
Headin' to the strand
Take a straw to the nearest waters
And remember your place
Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you've came
So which way is the wind blowin'
And what does your heart say?
Is it me? Is it you?
Tell me who
Who's the other girl?
Who's the first? Who's the fool?
Who's the diamond? Who's the pearl?
Are you mad? Me too
And I wonder in his world
Is it me? Is it you?
Who's the other girl?
Who's gonna put on the red dress
Scarlet letter on her chest
Can't love with this on her conscience
Tell me who's the other girl, girl, girl, girl
Are you the one he's talkin' to
When he gets up and leaves the room
And comes back with a distance in his eyes?
Maybe I should be the one to leave
But damn, when he starts lovin' me
He makes me think I'm all that's on his mind
Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away
Well, it'll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through….
…
So do you think that we could work out a sign?
So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
I hear a rooster crowin'
It's a frosty mornin'
I can almost see the sign
Goin' so fast I can't stop
I'm just a stone's-throw from Little Rock
Headin' for that Missouri line
Don't need a map to get there
You can get there from anywhere
When you're goin' in your head
I can see the arms outreachin'
Just like the day I was leavin'
It's been oh so many years
… She's a back road rider
That pulls all nighter
She's the pedal to the floor that makes me hold on tighter
A couple shots of her and I start to lose control
She's the Jack in my Coke
(She's the Jack, she's the Jack)
… I wake up every mornin' thankin' God that I found her
Can't control myself every time I come around her
She's my best friend, road dog and my homie
No need for lookin' cause she's my one and only
She's my crutch if I can't walk, voice if I can't talk
Sexiest thing I ever seen and that ain't all
… Boy she can get down, handy with a gun
Sees a deer, leads, shoots, and hits 'em on the run
She ain't the kind of girl that likes the ritzy little wine
She's the kind that puts the chicken livers on the line
Then catch the catfish she skins 'em up to fry
She's my baby, the reason I love my life
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand?
Oh, my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
Get outta my way
I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
I've been down, down, down, down, down
Got to get my feet back on the ground
Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
