Whenever We Wanted lyrics

Written by John Mellencamp

Run in circles again tonight
Hump the moon again tonight
Gonna wear my dancin' shoes out tonight
Gonna have myself a big time again tonight

CHORUS
Again tonight
Again tonight
Again tonight

Girl's got lightning
Underneath her skirt
Boys try to touch it
For whatever it's worth
In the morning
She's just gonna be hurt
She wonders is it worth it again tonight

CHORUS

Written by John Mellencamp and Randy Handley

She's got tights on her legs
She's got a floppy French hat
Voodoo in her eyes
An endangered species on her back

She talks about the movies
She likes to talk about art
She can show you a good time
But you'll never touch her heart

CHORUS
Mama why do I always fall for the crazy ones
Mama why do they lay so heavy on my heart

Written by John Mellencamp

Don't look at me, don't touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead
Don't get no funny ideas about me
Or you'll wish that you were dead
That's what I'm thinking she must be thinking
The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night
She gives me a look from the corner of her eye
That says, Boy, keep acting right.
How surprised was I
When she leaned over and whispered in my ear

Written by John Mellencamp

I love the things that scare most folks to death
But I ain't ever satisfied
I'll stay till the end or till I'm gasping my last breath
But I ain't ever satisfied
No, I am never satisfied

I can pretty much come and go as I like
But I ain't ever satisfied
Hey, with no bottom line it's hard to know wrong from right
But I ain't ever satisfied

Written by John Mellencamp

A cold day in December
And I'm still here alone
I look through my window and I surrender
Should be gone
But I've not place to go

CHORUS
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go

If there were someone
I'd hold her
If there was love
I'd let it take me away

Written by John Mellencamp

Well, we're droppin' our bombs
In the southern hemisphere
And people are starving
That live right here
And they're tearing down walls
In the name of peace
And they're killing each other
In the Middle East

CHORUS
But love and happiness
Have forgotten our names
And there's no value left
In love and happiness

They raise the price of oil
And they censor our mouths

Written by John Mellencamp

I met my girl
She was livin' in the melting pot
I touched her skin
It was greasy from the melting pot
Get yourself a weapon
Cause they slice you up in the melting pot
Well, I don't really have time to talk
But I wish you lots of luck in the melting pot

CHORUS
And in the end it's always just some game
The heartbreak, the laughter has all been in vain

Written by John Mellencamp

If you believe
Won't you please raise your hands
Let's hear your voices
Let us know where you stand
Don't shout from the shadows
Cause it won't mean a damn
Now more than ever

CHORUS
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can't stand alone
Now more than ever

If I was to buy you
A diamond ring

We weren´t afraid of nothing
Wasn´t nothing we couldn´t do
She held her breath once for seven minutes
And never turned blue

She could burn a woman down
If she felt she´d been unkind
Or if she thought she was coming on to me
It drove her out of her mind

CHORUS:
Oh Yeah, It´s true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it´s true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to

It drove her out of her mind

CHORUS
Oh yeah, it's true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it's true
We just did what we wanted
