Well our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And Sam Cooke's singin' on the radio
You say that I'm the boy who can make it all come true
Well I'm tellinya that I don't know if I know what to do

Chorus:
You say that's all right, hold tight
Well I don't even know if I'm doin' this right

Well I was out on the town
I was out cruising around
Looking for a suitable bitch
to throw down on the ground

I was out looking for a cheap shot
Well you ain't got nothing but cheap shots a lot
oh ho yea, give me another cheap shot
oh ho yea, give me another cheap shot

Well I picked her up
I took her to a movie cafe', yea
And I took her to the XXX theater place, woo

My baby is a cry cry baby,
She sits on my lap and balls,

My baby is a top mechanic,
She works with my nuts until,
She'll do it, do it, do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it, she'll go down, she'll go down.

I bring you renegade stories
And you tell me I'm crazy and wild
You say that I lack maturity
Stop actin' like a child
But you know I am a liar
And my promises only get in my way
You feel so good, when you're in my arms
Ain't there one right thing I can say
To make oyu want to stay

Chorus:
Oh, oh baby, baby
Don't misunderstand me
oh, oh baby, baby

Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly
Washed in amber street lights
A Mexican wind blows in
Takin' ahold of Angelina's hair and her halo
Motors runnin' muffling the sound
Of street talk, a big deal's goin' down

Chorus:
It's another hot night
In a cold town
Got yourself a hot night
In a cold town

Johnny's got spare change in his pocket

This ain't no make believe
I ain't foolin around this time
You can believe what you want to believe
It's a sin the way we've wasted our time

Make me feel like I wanna feel
Baby tear this pain from my heart
Make me feel like I wanna feel
Make me feel like I did in the start

Maybe it's a change of plan
Now that your dreams have left me behind
Or is it another man

Peppermint Twist
Joey Dee and The Starliters

Well they've got a new dance and it goes like this
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Yeah the name of the dance is Peppermint Twist
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Well you like it like this, the Peppermint Twist

It goes round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
Round and round and a up and down

I've had a lot of girls in my life
They never meant that much to me
A good time was always had by all
But those ggod times, they were fleeting memories
I used to lie to them and then I'd kiss them
But I kept them an arm's length away
Well hey man now you know me
And look how silly I been acting today

Chorus:
This time I really think I'm in love, I'm in love

I was watching a movie the other night on T.V.
The actress reminded me of you
Her attitude, the way that she smiled
She was doin' a part girl, like you used to do
I do believe you played it better
If it wasn't better, it was just as strong
I would've called you up on the telephone that night
But somehow girl, it'd been all wrong

I heard you married a stranger

Written by John Mellencamp

Well I get up in the morning
Have a smoke, have a drink
Then I get dressed
I don't want to get to work too late
'Cause that bossman he's a real mean son-of-a-bitch
Everything is so fast and so crazy
But the day still slowly slips on by
And when that five o'clock whistle starts to blow
I'll be gone in a wink of an eye

Chorus
Tonight, I'm gonna see my baby again

Written by John Mellencamp

Pretty girls in beat up cars
Throwing kisses to the soldiers
Pale blue eyes and whisky bars
The lines on her face say she's getting older
Girl you better reach out to me

Runnin' with your
Weakness in the dark
You hope it disappears by tomorrow
On your knees and in the dark
Don't wanna beg
Lord knows, you're too old to borrow
You better reach out to me
