First time I laid eyes on you
I checked myself right on outta this world
Just one thing can bring me back from this here heart attack
And that's your sweet lovin', girl
Ooooh your huggin' and kissin'
I know it makes a dead man's light come on
You put the crush on me
Little girl can't you see that I'm gone
Now I ain't gonna listen to reason
Ain't no excuse for the way that I feel
Before a word was spoke
I knew it weren't no joke
Baby this love is real
They say you gotta take time to know her
But I just can't wait that long
You put the crush on me
Little girl can't you see
That I'm gone
You put the crush, crush
Ooooooh what a rush
I can't begin to speak of all of your charms
You put the crush, crush
Uh,
Now I can't be satisfied until
I'm wrapped up in your arms
Ain't that some some lovin baby
You got to know I'm ain't puttin you on
You put the crush on me, little girl can't you see that I'm gone
You read about these kind of feelin's
But they always happen to somebody else
I got this feelin' from you
That you want me too
Girl, I just can't help myself
Now this is once in a lifetime
And I just can't get you walk on
You put the crush on me, little girl can't you see that I'm gone
You put the crush on me, little girl can't you see that I'm gone
You put the crush, crush
Ooooooh what a rush
I can't begin to speak of all of your charms
You put the crush, crush
Uuuuuh,
Now I can't be satisfied 'till I'm wrapped up in your arms
Ain't that some some lovin baby
You got to know I'm ain't puttin you on
You put the crush on me, little girl can't you see that I'm gone
You put the crush on me girl
Yes, you did
You put the crush on me...

We've talked it to death, cryin' on the telephone.
Nights when he drinks at home, she has to whisper throught her tears.
"Johnny," she says, "you'd never do these things to me."
But I can never make her see he's wasted such precious years.
Well, "you married the wrong guy" is all I ever say.
CHORUS:
He's a no good so and so, but she'll never let him go
Though she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk.
She loves the jerk.
He was the guy always out on the make.
I guess he had what it takes to turn the heads of pretty girls.
She thought he would change; the worst of us will settle down.
But he couldn't stay out of town, not even with this precious pearl
Now she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises.
REPEAT CHORUS
Well, I hang up the phone and I pretend she's in my arms.
What I wouldn't give for just one-tenth of what she gives Mister Charming.
REPEAT CHORUS
He's a no good so and so, but she'll never let him go.
Though she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk

You know she talks like ev'rybody in the room
Was gonna listen in
Carries on a conversation
Like some others call their children in
Tho you can't believe one sentence
Man you hang on ev'ry word
Til the line of trash she's talkin'
Just gets more and more absurd
Well I give it to you brother
She said the same thing to me
It was at another party
But to her I guess they're all the same
You know she'll ask you for a lite
And pretty soon she wants to know your name
When she drops her tone to sweetness
Man you know she's zeroed in
There's another sucker waitin'
Even as she reels you in
Well I'm here to tell you brother
She said the same things to me
"Do you drive a nice car
And are you goin' far
Are you man enuff for me"
Yes I am All nite All nite
Once you get her out the door
Man she just wants you to take her home
You thot that you were Mr. Cool
Ma this chick has got a heart of stone
Before you need a cold shower
Take a tip friend if you please
This rap she's layin' on you
Is just a bogus strip tease
Well I'm here to tell you brother
She said the same thing to me
. . .

Little girl playin' with the moonlight
Shine it on me, shine it on me
There's a cloud over my light and its troubling me, troubling me
Such a world, such an invitation
Come as you are, come as you are
Subject to change, but we'll try not to leave any scars
CHORUS:
Washable ink, if you think it stinks you can cry it away
They dont want to hear your sad story today
Everybody's busy whoever they are
Washable ink, put it in the sink if you've had enough
But if you're on the brink of the usual stuff
Wait 'til it rains and give it away
Little girl, they just want to train you
To keep them amused, to keep them amused
They dont know, you got your match to the end of that fuse
Such a life, such a long vacation
A tourist parade, man its a tourist parade
Im going to sleep, wake me up when you've got it made
REPEAT CHORUS
. . .

Get in your car and go
Dependin' on how you feel
Turn up your radio
DJ says the love is real
He thinks it's the latest sensation
And you just keep changin' the station
(believe me baby) Do you know what love is about
Heard it on your stereo
Ev'rybody does without
Brokenhearted comic book hero
Don't worry your pretty little head now honey
It's only top twenty
CHORUS:
Whoah oh oh
Radio girl
Radio girl
Livin' for that three minute song
Welcome to the real world
Transistor sister
That's right mister
The Radio Girl
And ev'rybody's waiting for
Fairy godmother to show
You ain't holdin' your breath anymore
Turn up the radio
Here's a song just came in from left field
And you're goin' rite thru the windshield
REPEAT CHORUS
They wanna know
What's wrong with you
They want you to
Come out and play
You're gonna push in all the buttons
Blow them all away
They got their whole lives to tell you
How much stuff they can sell you
REPEAT CHORUS
. . .

We've been training
Now we look like each other
Face down and
Booked and printed for young lovers
Even as I write out of this song
The ink wears off but the beat goes on
CHORUS:
I pledge my edge of the razor
No minor league night in the majors
Even though we cut up, we can really cut 'em down
Though you're sharper than me, it's too late to turn around
Heavy trading
On the floor at the market
A million keys for my heart
But they'll never unlock it
We played for laughs now love is the prize
If we're playing for keeps, keep these tears from my eyes
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
One slice of life
One lover's lane
One man and a wife
Not taken in vain
While they're cutting deals with grim reapers
Tell me, where'd you get those peepers
Well I filling out all the pages of this questionaire
But I left out all the details of this affair
They'll never get it down on the books
So they'll never know how much it took
REPEAT CHORUS
. . .

You said that I would be sorry if you went away
You said I wouldn't be happy without hell to pay
You said the teardrops would fall
Between the bedroom walls
You said that I would regret
Well It Hasn't Happened Yet
Your friends come over and offer to take me to eat
They all seem so sorry I'm sufferin' so much misery
They said to just give a call
Next time that I start to crawl
I always say yeah, you bet
But It Hasn't Happened Yet
I don't have anyone
I'm havin' fun
No one is into me
No one's a mystery
I see you on the street
My heart don't skip no beat
Lovers' hostility
Don't mean a thing to me
I find it hard to remember the good times we had
Call me insensitive now that it's over I'm glad
You said when big shadows fell
It would be too hard to tell
My light from your silhouette
Well it hasn't happened yet
. . .

Take it easy baby
But take as much as you can
Cause I got all the sweet loving
You could possibly stand
I'll take your tears for drinking water
Make your pain sweet company
You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder
Girl you mean that much to me
CHORUS 1:
I could climb the highest mountain
To show the world I could survive
But without your lovin' baby
I wouldn't even be alive
Cause your love is like blood
Cause your love is like blood to me
Like a river baby
Your love is running thru me
And with ev'ry beat of our hearts
We're defying gravity
Just a little bit further on up the stream
There's a shady resting place
Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles
With just one sweet embrace
CHORUS 2:
Now I could do a million things
Just to prove that I'm a man
But there's only one woman
Who holds my life in her hands
Your love is like blood to me
Your love it's just like blood to me
I don't care what your people say
Over my dead body will they ever take you away
And any man cutting in on me
Well he just better stop cause I can't spare a drop
Your love is like blood to me
Your love is like blood to me

She paints her fingernails forbidden tones
She wants nervous youth on the telephone
He don't call
She sticks another pin
In her doll
And puts him next to her stuffed animals
She got the tubetop
She got the french heels
She got the blowdry
She got her eyes peeled
She got the tight jeans
Seventeen magazine
She got it all
She got it all
She got it all
In her pink bedroom
She thinks all her boyfriends are so dumb
She drinks coca-cola with her valium
Mother calls
She sticks another pin
In her doll
And lets those fingers talk her into it
She got the lip gloss
She got the short-shorts
She got her records and
They're all imports
She got her good looks
She got her yearbook
She got it all
She got it all
She got it all
In her pink bedroom
They say they got her future down at the desk
And now they're drawing blood for the grownup test
Something crawls
Beneath her lily skin
And her doll
Is so relieved she's lost her innocence
It was a teen game
Now we're serious
It's all customized
Don't get curious
We got your pension
And your attention
We got it all
We got it all
We got it all
We got it all
We got it all
We got it all
From your pink bedroom
. . .

I went to the marketplace
They said they liked my face
Better than a digital watch
You got it, we're pros and we can spot it
So I thought it was some disease
But they were all on their knees
Shakin' hands with my picture
First we sterilize it
Then we merchandise it
Everybody tries
Everybody buys it
Well that's fine
Put me on the slug line
Punch a pretty hole in my mind
Show me where to sign
And put me on the slug line
They told me how to behave
Like any other public slave
Keep a smile on the face of the consumer
Or you'll become a rumor
So I got a band of angry sons
Now we're havin' so much fun
Tearin' up the nation
Weapons out of mic stands
Bitin' on the glad hand
They still don't understand
That they were marketing a madman
And that's fine
Put me on the slug line
Punch a pretty hole in my mind
Show me where to sign
And put me on the slug-
Well that's fine
Put me on the slug line
Punch a pretty hole in my mind
Show me where to sign
And put me on the slug line
You made one mistake
You made me wait
That's fine
Put me on the slug line
Punch a pretty hole in my mind
Show me where to sign
And put me on the slug-
Well that's fine
Put me on the slug line
Couldn't lay a glove on my mind
So show me where to sign
And put me on the slug line
. . .

Could have been the kiss of my life
Could havebeen the death of me
Could have been that I was just too scared
To wait around and see
You could have been a guardian angle
I could have been the wicked one
Besides the buttons on our shirts, girl,
What else did we leave undone?
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slippin' through our hands?
Right through our hands
Maybe I was tryin' to tell ya
I'd never known a love so strong
Maybe in the shadows of the night
We just couldn't tell right from wrong
Maybe its a real-life story
Livin' with the sad regrets
Maybe it was just a sweet dream baby
Somethin' that I can't forget
When we ran
when we ran
when we ran
Was it just the time slippin' through our hands?
You only had to say the word
I would have turned around and heard
But as it is we can't turn back
The mind's just a trash can, baby
And the memories, rolling dice
We had something one time, girl,
But we thought about it twice
When we ran
when we ran
When we ran
When we ran
We ran
we ran
we ran
When we ran
When we ran
. . .

I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid
Blew it all at the penny arcade
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl
On a TWA, to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
Gets a cadillac and a diamond ring
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
Hes gonna check us all on out of here
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled
On a TWA to the promised land
Everybody come on and clap your hands
Dont you just love the way he sings
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
A red cape and shiny cold 45
I never saw his face but I saw the light
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
Well I stepped out of a mirror at ten years old
With a suit cut sharp, as a razor and a heart of gold
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die
. . .

Why did she wear that dress tonight
Why did she bring that stranger
She looks put out in the party lights
Which leaves us all in danger
When she drops her perfumed hankie
CHORUS:
I look for love
I look for love
I look for love
I look for love
I hate the way we carry on
These fashion consultations
Do all these wires we sing along
Require such insulation
Fused with fear or charged with anger
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
No innocence I can claim
No treasure of stolen hearts
In every mirror I look the same
A toy soldier with missing parts
Shes adding up those second looks
While she collects advances
Like thumbing through some dirty book
They estimate their chances
When the parking lot is empty
REPEAT CHORUS
. . .
