Song Lyrics

Good lord, I tried
To push her memory to the back o'my mind
"Mustang Sally" from her head to her toe
My life was in shambles
When she shot down that road

That was then, this is now
If I learned my lesson. I forgot it somehow
Headlights in the driveway,
A knock at the door,
I hear that voice, and I know what's in store...

Whoa oh whoa oh
I looked in those angel eyes
Whoa oh whoa oh
The devil was in disguise, yeah

She took me,
Down the road to ruin
(Yeah Baby) My Head was spinnin' round
Don't know what I'm doin'
Back on the road to ruin...

(Listen) Hip hips Sexy legs-
Ain't no surprise I got on my knewws and begged
Forked toungue, and pointed tail
If we make it this time, it's a cold day in hell

Whoa oh whoa oh
She said she'd be sweet this time yeah
Whoa oh whoa oh
One kiss and it all seemed so right

She took me,
Down the road to ruin
(Yeah Baby) My Head was spinnin' round
Don't know what I'm doin'
Back on the road to ruin...

Whoa oh whoa oh
She said she'd be sweet this time
Whoa oh whoa oh
The devil was in disguise

[Chorus out]

Misguided woman knows my name
Ain't go nobody else to blame
I gota a girl back home
She's waiting all alone

Ten weeks of rock and roll arcade
Seems like a year since I've been paid
I got to let it go, no one will ever know

I got a little to loose
In Oklahoma city
I didn't care if she was young
I didn't care if she was pretty
I got a little too loose
A little too loose
A little too loose, oh, oh, oh

Keep little secrets far too long
Guess taht i'll put them in a song
I got to let it go, on one will ever know

Baby, can i get you a taxi
She said, "that's ok, tonight I"m staying here"
All that little girl wanted yeah
Was a slippery souvenir

When the honeymoon's over
Where do we go from here
What do we do when we get there
Who's at the other end

[B-Section:]
Yeah, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches on
After the shock

[Chorus:]
We Rock and Roll over, over & then
Show your true colors
Put on a new face
Love is like a faucet
Turnin' off and on
Rock and Roll over
Will the real you stand up

Same time next year
Life is full of chances
Is this the Lady or the Tiger
There's never any answers

[B-Sections:]
Ooh, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches
After the shock

[Chorus:]

[Solo]

[Bridge:]
Love and Hate is a fine, fine line
But if you're the cure, now, baby, I'll make the time

[B-Section:]
[Chorus out:]

You have me burnin' up
With your bad timing
One small moment
I'm lost in your love

I'm lost and innocent
Turn my head around
Your one liners
I can do without

[B-Section:]
Easy come, easy go
I can't back down baby
I should have let you know that

[Chorus:]
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
If I only had you by my side
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
So wave goodbye
Anything for you

One day comes
And I dissappear
You'll get your independance
Free and clear

Ah, you got it in you
A chance to make it work
Your heart will keep on beating
And I'll still hurt

You can knock me out
I've been down for the ten-count before
Better give it up
Don't have to show me I've had enough

[1st B-Section:]
I've seen the way you've been
Stealin' with those eyes.
You're high-heeled trouble
You're dangerous
With a criminal mind

[Chorus:]
How can you do what you do
What you've done to me
Take the pain and the pleasure
Turn it around on me
How can you do what you do
Is what I don't believe

Break down the walls
Live and learn from a hurricane
You just can't come and go
Another hit on the hurt parade

[2nd B-Section:]
You think I love it when you're
Tearin' me apart
Don't you see, you're playin' games
With my heart

[Chorus:]
How can you do what you do
What you've done to me
Take the pain and the pleasure
Turn it around on me
How can you do what you do
Is what I don't believe

[Bridge:]
What went wrong
Who's to blame
Tell me now
You're never gonna change

[Lead Solo]

[1st B-Section:]
I've seen the way you've been
Stealin' with those eyes
You're high-heeled trouble
You're dangerous with a criminal mind

Way back in the early days
1946 She walked in with the look o'love
That girl had bedroom eyes
Fire engine lipstick lips
All heads turned ooh with a human desire
It set the world on fire.

My kinda woman
Someone's yeseteryear dreams
That's my kinda woman
I could tear down the silver screen

A fallen woman femme fatale
her body screamed heartbreak
Hotel...brains and beauty
Break down the walls, I fall
Down, to my knees,
When I see her picture in the
Movie magazines
All heads turned ooh for the lady in red
Bring up the house lights and say

My kinda woman
Bring back those yesteryear dreams
My kind woman help me
Tear down the silver screen

Picture perfect
X marks the spot
There's just no way
To tell you how hot
My kinda woman

If I could go back in time
To the right place eye to eye
Magic to burn ooh with a human desire
She set the world on fire

My kinda woman
Someone's yesteryear dreams
My kinda woman
I could tear down the silver screen
My kinda woman
Bring back those yesteryear dreams
And that's my kinda woman
Help me tear down the silver screen

Equal Opportunity knocked
Twice too late to stay on top of it all
All for one, one for all.
Push me, pull me, way too far
One way or another someone's gotta take
The fall, you better look at yourself

When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
You made your last point baby
It's all I can take

[Chorus:]
Take a walk -
Take a long and lonely walk
You better think about it
Come back to a whole new start
Cause-I wash my hands
Of you and your plans to take over
Take a walk

A lover's crime and punishment
Is do this, do that and put your eyes
Back in your head
Let's play house instead
You complain about everything
You're not happy 'til the chain's
Wrapped 'round my leg
It's about time for a change

When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
Too much is enough now, baby
It's all I can take, so!

[Chorus:]

I swear by love
You got it
All and much more
Than one could ever hope for
'Cause I would take a number
Just to wait in line, for a look
And to gimme the high sign

[B-Section:]
Red lights green lights
Go for the gold
Something inside, I want you now
I want it all, and more than you know

[Chorus:]
My mind is twisted, tied up in knots
My heart is achin' from a shot in the dark
I got a feeling what this is all about
I think it's time for the ...big love
I'm gettin' ready for the big love

Everytime I think about you
I get a lump in my throat
From the big beat in my heart
I am helpless, hungry for attention
I know... you could see me fall apart

[B-Section:]
[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Ready, willing and able, give me
The chance to show you-I want it all
More than you know

She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all
Her notes and she knows, she's been here too few years
To feel this old

He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside 'till it's gone
If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldn't be alone
He knows, she's been here too few years, to be gone

And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang

The trouble understand, is she got reasons he don't
Funny how he couldn't see at all, 'til she grabbed up her coat
And she goes, she's been here too few years to take it all in stride
But still it's much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go)
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang
The same for you
I'll always hang
Well I always say, it would be good to go away
But if things don't work out like we think
And there's nothing there to ease this ache
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you, I'll just hang

What we learned here is love tastes bitter when it's gone
Past yourself forget the light, things look dirty when it's on
Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away
And there's no one around you can remember being good to
You

[chorus 1]
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame

What we lost here is something better left alone
Second steps have been forgotten, will you tell me how
They go
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again
There's no one around you can remember being good, for you
So

[chorus 2]
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame

We never thought we'd get so troubled
We could never think that much
It should never get this bad

So let the wind blow ya, across a big floor
But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here
For
Funny in a certain light, how we all look the same
And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood
For you, so
