Pretty girl, tell me what you're doing tonight
Gonna play you a song, tell me that's all right
Maybe when we're done, well maybe we just might
We'll get a move on, we'll roll on out of sight, yeah
Tell your mama, tell that pretty mama I said
It won't be long before I lose my head
Tell your daddy, tell your pop you're leaving home
'Cause you're a follower, a fan, of the smartest man you've ever known, yeah
Rock a baby, rock a baby, rock a baby, rock a baby bye
Rock a baby, rock a baby, rock a baby, rocks your body right
Yeah, yeah
I'm not entirely insane
'Cause I figured out your little games
Don't think it's going to be all the same
It's not in your body, it's all in your brain, yeah
Rock a baby, rock a baby, rock a baby, rock a baby bye
Rock a baby, rock a baby, rock a baby, rocks your body right
Yeah, yeah

Two Hit Jimmy
03:05
|

This is my game, now I make the rules
You already lost, but you don't get it, do you?
If you hit me, you know I'll hit you twice
Oh, and you already know my attacks are precise
Are you listening?
Could you come again?
I don't think you're hearing
Your time is up
Don't get mad, I'm just marking my territory
I'll throw you out when you walk in, but then you'll have a story
A story of how you got beat at your own game
Oh, by a thing that you tried, but just could not contain
Are you listening?
Could you come again?
I don't think you're hearing
Your time is up
Here's the countdown
Are you ready for your final round?
You better strap up your guns, son
Ready or not, 'cause here I come!
Are you listening?
Could you come again?
I don't think you're hearing
Your time is up

Revolver
04:31
|

A little lady said that she wanted to play
She told me I'm the man who's gonna make her day
I looked her in the eye and said, "That's not what I do
But I would be more than pleased to hang around with you"
In the dark of the night
Everybody feels all right
In the dark of the night
Come with me for a ride and you'll have the time of your life
She whispered in my ear, "Come with me now, let's go
I'm going to prove to you the more you see the more you know"
That girl's like a gun, you pull the trigger and you're dead
I met the revolver and this here is what she said
She said,
In the dark of the night
Everybody feels all right
In the dark of the night, whoa
Come with me for a ride and you'll have the time of your life
In the dark of the night
Everybody feels all right
In the dark of the night, whoa
Come with me for a ride and you'll have the time of your life

Hard-and-fast
02:41
|
|||
Well babe, I think we’ve got a problem
It’s been too long since you’ve gone away
Our heads used to get ahead of our tongues
But now our conversation’s starting to stray
Now I’m sitting here all alone
Girl, you know I’ve got nothing to hide
I’ve been searching through an empty home but
Girl, you know there ain’t nothing to find, no
Gotta pick the lesser of two evils
But the lesser evil ain’t as good
Maybe I had an ulterior motive
Maybe I ain’t doing what I should
Gotta sort it through all the commotion
Gotta figure how it’s gonna be
3-2-1 then you dive in ahead now
Girl your loving ain’t gonna be free
Now I’m backed in a corner
And I’m doubled over
I’ve gotta get this feeling
Out of my mind, yeah
Girl, you look so good from miles away and it’s
Always good to hear you say that
Every hour more is one less away
But there’s twenty four hours in every day
Feels so wrong but it seems so right that I’ll
Never give up this hard-and-fast fight
And fifteen hundred miles is just a number
Ain’t a number in the world that ever kept me from her, no
Oh no, oh no
Now I’m backed in a corner
And I’m doubled over
I’ve gotta get this feeling
Out of my mind, yeah
Girl, you look so good from miles away and it’s
Always good to hear you say that
Every hour more is one less away
But there’s twenty four hours in every day
Feels so wrong but it seems so right that I’ll
Never give up this hard-and-fast fight
And fifteen hundred miles is just a number
Ain’t a number in the world that ever kept me from her, no

Waiting
03:18
|
|||
When I get up, I go back to the heat
'Cause there ain't nothing harder than trying to be me
Man, I work all day and I sleep all night
And it's a real tough job just to be all right
You know, you keep on the ground and pick me up when I fall
And I promise not to cause you no more trouble at all
But it's a mighty fine thing between me and you
So baby, never say never unless you know it's true
Uh huh, oh yeah
This is what I've been waiting for
Uh huh, oh yeah
I won't keep waiting anymore
If you're a fan of this kind of belief
Well babe, you're going to find that I am a hell of a relief
But it's not all fun and it ain't all games, babe
We got to skip town and maybe change our names
Now, I know I brought the danger, put you in harms way
But I promised you this wouldn't be a regular day
So after all the things I've said and all that you've done
Well tell me pretty girl, now have you had fun?
Uh huh, oh yeah
This is what I've been waiting for
Uh huh, oh yeah
I won't keep waiting anymore
Uh huh, oh yeah
This is what I've been waiting for
Uh huh, oh yeah
I won't keep waiting anymore

Turning Point
02:23
|
|||
I’ve got a problem
With the way you walk
I’ve got a problem baby
With the way you talk
Why did you leave me alone
On the dance floor?
I wanna know
Just how it feels
To know that you’re worthless
In and out of your heels
Why did you leave me alone
On the dance floor?
And now you’re running to me
Trying to come back home
But it won’t work this time
No you’ll have to watch me go
I’m leaving you this time
That ain’t no lie
And don’t try to kid yourself honey
This time it’s goodbye
I’m going to leave you alone
On the dance floor
And now you’re running to me
Trying to come back home
But it won’t work this time
No you’ll have to watch me go

Runaway
05:40
|
|||
When I was just a boy, my mama said
"Don't worry, sweet child, lay down your head"
But now that left is right and up is down
It won't be too much longer I'll be in this town
But I want to know when I can take you away from here
We'll go anyplace where our heads and hearts are clear
So baby, take my hand and run away with me
When I became a man, I was told
You're never gonna stop running before you get old
But now I see everything in a new direction
'Cause living easy is my predilection
And I want to know when I can take you away from here
We'll go anyplace where our heads and hearts are clear
So baby, take my hand and run away with me
When I turn 65, I'll be all right
Never have to run, never have to fight
Babe, I can give you everything you need
'Cause, man, it feels so good to be this free
And I want to know when I can take you away from here
We'll go anyplace where our heads and hearts are clear
So baby, take my hand
Baby, take my hand
Baby, take my hand and run away with me

Learn To Quit
06:44
|
|||
Doing all you can
I don’t see none of that, no
Gonna find a man
I don’t see none of that, no
What you gonna do when I’m gone?
You’ve gotta learn to quit
Throw your cards in
When you gonna get with it?
I just wanna know where you’ve been
What you gonna do when I’m gone?
You’ve gotta learn to quit
Throw your cards in
When you gonna get with it?
I just wanna know where you’ve been
What you gonna do when I’m gone?
