Standing On The Edge lyrics - Cheap Trick

In the middle of the night
I had a vision
It was bigger than life
Standing on the edge of my bed
She said "Come here, don't be afraid"
Her tongue opened like a shot
Oh bang bang
Ten feet tall, laser eyes
Killer body, killer thighs
She drew me a fine line
What's wrong what's right
I didn't know what to think
She seemed to know what to drink
I was stunned by her gun
Couldn't walk, couldn't run
Well she drew me a picture 
And it seemed so true
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason 
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Right here in my face
I had a vision
That was bigger than life
Oh Connie likes nighttime, every night
Connie likes candy, every bite
All day sucker, Connie might
Swallow that thing 'cause she does it right
I'm weak in the knees
I'm beggin' you please
Just ask for more
She just wants affection
My soldier's at attention
No I don't know
Why you're doin this to me
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason 
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Well she told me 
In the Biblical sense
And she told me
In the strictest confidence
She told me
We were worlds apart
She told me, she told me
I don't know why I'm here 
She said, "Don't be afraid"
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
You're lookin' right through my eyes
Standing on the edge
Light flashes before my eyes
Standing on the edge
And watchin' my world crash by
Love is passing by
Right before my eyes
And I wonder why
What's the reason 
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
I'm standing on the edge [Repeat and fade]

This Time Around lyrics - Cheap trick

Never look back but now never lose sight
Of your past, oh no
Change every moment knowing your decisions
They just won't last, oh no

Well it's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long are the nights
It feels right turning this time around

Always the danger of falling into
A mindless shell, oh yeah
Come out of your shell don't fall into a trap
You can't get out (can't get out, can't get out)

Well it's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long cold nights
It feels like turning this time around

When it hurts that bad
You know my temperature rises
It never goes down
It's goin' up
Straight up

When it hurts that bad
You know my temperature rises
It never goes down
It's goin' up
Straight up, straight up

Gone are the days
Long are the nights
It feels right turning this time around, oh yeah

It's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long are nights
It feels right turning this time around

Cover Girl lyrics - Cheap Trick

Well the first time that I saw her it was 1979
Couldn't see her walk couldn't hear her talk
Still wish she were mine

I saw that face and saw that smile
And in a little while
I fell into a dream come true

[Chorus]
She's a cover girl
She lives in her own little world
I wish she was my girl
And her name was she's a cover girl
She's always in my dreams
She's never what she seems
In a fantasy world

The next time that I saw her it was on page 69
Biting her lips shaking her hips
You know she looked so fine

So I bought those books to get those looks
I could see her anytime
She's just like a dream come true

[Chorus]

Wild Wild Women lyrics - Cheap Trick

Lookin' out for something special
Something crazy to call my own
Worked all week
Now that it's over
Yes I'm ready to bring it on
Driving to me
It'll be easy
After all that's what it's for
If the fire's too hot
Get out of the kitchen
Or do it do it do it on the floor

So get out now
Before it's too late
Don't bring me down
Don't you wait too long

Wild wild women
Make the world go round
Wild wild women
Wild wild girls

Kick your heels
Set in motion
After all they never stop
Feels so good
Must be illegal
That's no reason to call the cops
She goes crazy
In the corner
Like some forward flash
No problems
No headaches
No troubles
That's the best

So come on now
Before it's too late
Don't bring me down
Don't you wait too long

Wild wild women
Never slow me down
Wild wild women
Wild wild girls

So get out now
Before it's too late
Don't bring me down
Don't you wait too long

Wild wild women
Got a hold on me
Wild wild women
Wild wild girls
Wild wild women
Make the world go round
Wild wild women
Wild wild girls
Will wild women
Never slow me down
Wild wild women
Will wild girls

I Can't Take It lyrics - Cheap Trick

Well I saw you today and realized
How I missed my peace of mind
I feel your breath in my ear
But late at night it's you I always think about
That little girl inside of you I once knew
I should have known better
Still the smell of you was on my face
But you were too busy
To notice me last night

Now I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it, I can't make it alone
Oh no, oo, oh no

Then I tell myself I'll put you down
Don't wanna see your face around
Don't call me up anymore
When I hear your voice it's in my ear
You're kissin' on the phone
It makes it all come clear

Now I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it, I can't make it alone
Oh no, oh, oh no

I try to tell myself, don't need you anymore
Don't want you hangin' around my door
Oh no

Now I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it, I can't make it alone
Wrong or right
I can't take it, I can't make it alone
You know how I tried
I can't take it, I can't make it alone
I try to tell myself, don't need you anymore
I can't take it, I can't make it alone
Oh baby, my pretty baby
I can't take it, I can't make it alone

Borderline lyrics - Cheap Trick

Run out of money and runnin' out of luck
Run into problem I never, never thought of
It seems like I didn't run out of my dreams
But we've got each other and tonight we're gonna leave

To the borderline
Leave all our troubles behind
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles tonight

A broken promise is a broken dream
We've all had so many, too many for me
Impossible to have freedom when things aren't free
But we've got each other and tonight we're gonna leave

To the borderline
Leave all our troubles behind
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles and hide

To the borderline
Leave our troubles tonight
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles
Leavin' all our troubles
At the borderline

I wanna go, I wanna go
Oh I'll go anywhere
I wanna go, I wanna go away from here
Is all I really care

Runnin' away from the girl of my dreams
Runnin' away from a life of broken dreams

To the borderline
Leavin' all our troubles behind
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles tonight

To the borderline
Leave all our troubles behind
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles
Leavin' all our troubles
At the borderline

At the borderline

I Don't Love Here Anymore lyrics - Cheap Trick

We had a special way of talkin'
Oh, a language all our own
We always knew the latest dances
But we liked old-fashioned love
Now something seems the matter

You don't want to play by the rules

I don't want to love here anymore 
(I don't want to love here anymore)
You don't want to play by the rules 
(You don't want to play by the rules)

I don't have a lot of patience
When someone's lit my fuse
So don't you try to reason
Me, I don't want no excuse, no!

You don't want to play by the rules 
(You don't want to play by the rules)
I don't want to love here anymore 
(I don't want to love here anymore)
You don't want to play by the rules 
(You don't want to play by the rules)

You (You)
Don't (don't)
Play (play)
By the rules
I (I)

Love here anymore

You don't want to play by the rules 
(You don't want to play by the rules)
'Cause I don't want to love here anymore 
(I don't want to love here anymore)

Next Position Please lyrics - Cheap trick

People all over the world
They get up they get down
They get in they get out
They get pushed, they go back
Start all over again
Till they get to the end

I'm from a small town
Had a poor family
Mama was sick, Papa worked the factory
I led a rich life
Never had to work hard
House in the country
Horses in my backyard

Next position please
Do I have to get down on my knees
Next position please
I'm in a hurry, so hurry please

Read between the lines
Learn a new message
Read the latest book
It's a new twist
Be the first one to have a new ideal
You'll never get bored with mirrors on the ceiling

Next position please
Do I have to get down on my knees
Next position please
I'm in a hurry, so hurry please

People all over the world
They get up they get down
They get in they get out
They get pushed, they go back
Start all over again
Till they get to the end

I wanna move up within the company
I can do better with an opportunity
Why don't they use me instead of abuse me?
I'm ten out of ten, not some whore in some movie
I wanna be the biggest gun in the world
I wanna see the tits on every girl

Next position please
You have to get down on your knees
Next position please
I'm in a hurry, so hurry please

Younger Girls lyrics - Cheap Trick

Try to bend me, try to shake me
Try and turn my head around
Oh try to change me, rearrange me
I think you know about the boy you found
A fantasy like this is hit and run

Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls

You said call us, you'll get two
One for your money, two for the show

It's hard enough to make you wanna cry

Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls

It's hard enough to make you wanna cry
And it drives me out of my mind
I'm in love with you, baby
My poor innocent baby

Feels so good, let me in

Sweet young thing, not so innocent

Dancing The Night Away lyrics - Cheap Trick

Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
So you want to believe
Everything that you read
And you think that you're makin' the grade
(And) just when you're getting it made
You're still in love with her
She'd love you to kiss her
Hopin' you'll miss her
By takin' your mind off the load
Just when you're ready to go
You turn your back on her
You just got your mind on the things ahead
At last you're gonna be free
You'll only miss her
Just after you kiss her
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
So you turn on the smiles
'Cause you think of the time
And nobody knows who you are
You don't think you'll get very far
I don't even know your name
At last they accept you
In case you go next year
And ask you to reach for the sky
And just when you're ready to die
They turn their back on you
So they put you on ice
In Survival Hotel
And wish you would die from the cold
When all you want is a night alone
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing, and the song you sing
Dancing, every move you make
Dancing, makes my body go
Dancing, right across the floor
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing

You talk too much
You talk too much
You talk too much to me

Dear father, don't mother me
Dear mother, don't bother me
If I ever needed your advice, oh
I would have called you on the telephone

And that's when I was listenin' to you

Dear preacher, you won't reach me
Dear teacher, don't preach to me
If I ever needed your advice, oh
I would have called you on the telephone
I've only been wrong maybe once or twice
And that's when I was listenin' to you

Oh, shut up!

You talk too much
You talk too much
You talk too much, oh yeah

You Say Jump lyrics - Cheap Trick

You say jump, I said how high
You say no, I don't ask why
You treat me like a fool, like you do
Kick me when I'm down and out
Out with you I wish I was
Instead I'm sittin' all alone tonight, well

You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time

You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight
You call me or I'll call you
Just as long as we get through
I'll do anything for you tonight

All dressed up no place to go
I say yes and you say no
What's goin' on
I really want to know
You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time

You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight
You call me or I'll call you
Just as long as we get through
I'll do anything for you tonight

I've loved you from the start
You only broke my heart
I think I'm losing my mind
I've felt this way for years
I'm the one who really cares
Don't leave me here on my own
You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight

I've loved you from the start
You only broke my heart
I'm sittin' all alone tonight

Kick me when I'm down and out
Out with you I wish I was
Instead I'm sittin' here on my own
You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time

You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight

Y.O.Y.O.Y. lyrics - Cheap trick

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever
Oh why can't I
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever

First thing you know
Is what you're looking for
Next thing you know is where you find it
You can't explain the pain
Of feelin' so alone
So I won't even try to tell you, no

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever
Oh why can't I
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever

Some days it hurts so bad
Can't take it anymore
Those days and nights
They last forever
Some ways of feelin' good don't feel good anymore
They only mask your real feelings
Why, oh why, why, oh why

Halfway up, halfway down
Won't you turn my luck around
Halfway here, halfway there
Say the words and I'll be there

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever
Oh why can't I
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever

Be in love forever
Be in love forever
Be in love forever
