The Cars Album

I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time.
'Cause when you're standing, oh, so near
I kinda lose my mind.

It's not the perfume that you wear.
It's not the ribbons in your hair.
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time.

I don't mind you hanging out
And talking in your sleep.
It doesn't matter where you've been,
As long as it was deep. (yeah)

You always knew to wear it well,
You look so fancy, I can tell.

I don't mind you hanging out
And talking in your sleep.
I guess you're just what I needed (just what i needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed (just what i needed)
i needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time.(time)
'Cause when you're standing, oh, so near
I kinda lose my mind. (yeah)

It's not the perfume that you wear.
It's not the ribbons in your hair.
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time.

I guess you're just what I needed, (just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed.
I guess you're just what I needed, (just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed. (x2) yeah, yeah, so baby

You're just what I needed (x3) yeah, yeah!

Since You're Gone
since you're gone
the nights are gettin' strange
since you're gone
well, nothing's makin' any sense
since you're gone
I stumbled in the shade
since you're gone
everything's in perfect tense, well
I can't help it
when you fall apart
'd I (and I) can't help it
guess you better start
that is forgettin' about you
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
nights are gettin' strange
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
thrownin' it all away
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
the nights are gettin' strange
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
thrownin' it all away
I can't help it
everything's a mess
I can't help it
you're so treacherous
when it comes, to tenderness
(since you're gone)
I can't help it
everything's a mess
I can't help it
you're so treacherous
oh, where's that tenderness?
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
I missed the peak sensation
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
I took the big vacation
(since you're gone)
well, never feel sedate
(since you're gone)
well, the moonlight ain't so great
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
(since you're gone)
well, I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)
when the night (?)
(since you're gone)
strange
I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)
well, since you're gone
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
since you're gone
(since you're gone)
I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)
fade

You might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Maybe you think I'm lucky
To have something to do
But I think that you're wild
And inside me is some child

You might think I'm foolish
But baby it's untrue
You might think I'm crazy
All I want is you

You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile

You might think it's foolish
What you put me through
You might think I'm crazy
All I want is you

And it is hard, so hard to take
There's no escape, without a scrape
But you kept it going 'til the sun fell down
You kept it going

You might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere, sometimes
When you're curious
I'll be back around
And I think that you're wild
And so-o uniquely styled

You might think it's foolish
This chancy rendezvous
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you

Let the good times roll,
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll,
Let them make you a clown

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll (repeat)

Let the stories be told,
Let them say what they want
Let the photos be old,
Let them show what they want

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll (repeat)
Good times roll

If the illusion is real,
Let them give you a ride
If they've got thunder appeal,
Let them be on your side

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll (repeat)

Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good time roll
Let the good times roll
Let 'em roll
Good times roll
Let the stories be told
Let them say what they want

All I need is what you've got
All I'll tell is what you're not
All you know is what you hear
I get this way when you come near

Then I know it's gone too far
Oh, oh, I touched your star
And it felt so right
Like the hush of midnight
Until you said
With me it's touch and go

All I need is you tonight
I'm flying like a cement kite
In your headlock on the floor
Who could ever ask for more

All I want is you tonight
I guess that dress does fit you tight
And how that look does make me shake
It almost looks too good to take

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong.
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall?
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call?
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams?
Who's gonna plug your ears
When you scream?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong.
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around
When you break?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong.
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Oh
You know you can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong.
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

I know tonight she comes
she's taking a swipe at fun
she gives me a reason
setting my sights
well, I know tonight she comes

She jangles me up
she does it with ease
and sometimes it passes through me
just like a breeze
she gives me a reason
for feeling all right
oh well (I know tonight)
I know tonight
(I know tonight)
I know tonight
(I know tonight)
she comes

and I know
she's going to do it to me
one more time

I know she's goint to stay
implanted in my mind
why does she keep me hanging
on the line yeah

she's going to do it to me
one more time
(one more time)
I know she's goint to stay
implanted in my mind

and all the hearts
she steals

when you do it right

Oh well, I know tonight she comes

when you do it right

(I know tonight)
I know tonight
(I know tonight)

You're always dancing down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesn't know the real surprise

Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
She'll make you flip (here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
You kinda like the way she dips

She's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl
And she used to be mine

You've got your nuclear boots
And your drip dry gloves
And when you bite your lip
It's some reaction to love, the love, a love

Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
She'll make you flip (here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky (here she comes again)
You kinda like the way, ya like the way she dips

She's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl, oh
And she used to be mine
She's so fine

You're always dancing down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesn't know the real surprise

Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
She'll make you flip (here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky (here she comes again)
You kinda like the way, ya like the way she dips

She's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl, oh
And she used to be mine
She's so fine

My best friend's girl friend
My best friend's girl friend (she used to be mine)
My best friend's girl friend (she's so fine)
My best friend's girl friend
My best friend's girl friend
My best friend's girl friend

Oh heartbeat city

And happy days
Count on thumbs
And nothin’ really
Gets us down
As long as jacki’s
Back in town=85hmm

I’m glad you made it
I can’t complain

Oh jacki (echo)
What took you so long
On just a holiday
Oh jacki (echo)
What took you so long
I thought you knew the way
(heartbeat city)

The noise electric
Never stops
And all you need
Is what you got
And there’s a place
For everyone
Under heartbeat city’s
Golden sun

(jacki)
Oh jacki

Heartbeat city’s
On the loose
(heartbeat city)
Better catch
The blue caboose
Oh, huh, heartbeat city
It’s my life, uh
(heartbeat city)
(heartbeat city)
(heartbeat city)

She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making a play and she can't go wrong
She never waits too long

She's winding them down on her clock machine
and she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, Let's Go

I like the nightlife baby
She says, Let's Go

She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautifun now she doesn't wear her shoes
She doesn't like to choose

She's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, Let's Go

I like the nightlife baby
She says, Let's Go

I'm not the one
That you'll be shooting for

I'm not the one
Who's coming back for more

You know why
We've been through this too many times
You know why
It's never clear it's pantomime

Going 'round and 'round
'cause you can't get on your feet
Going 'round and 'round
Still taking all the heat
Going 'round and 'round
Never touching ground

I'm not the one
Whose memory you still keep, and
I'm not the one
Who's talking in your sleep

You know why
I don't have to tell you twice
You know why
I knew when you weren't so nice

Going 'round and 'round
'cause you can't get on your feet
Going 'round and 'round
Still taking all the heat
Going 'round and 'round
Never touching ground

I'm not the one
That you'll be breaking in, and
I'm not the one
That could be taken in

You know why
I tried and tried to crack the shell
You know why
When you fake it's hard to tell

Going 'round and 'round
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Going 'round and 'round
Still taking all the heat
Going 'round and 'round
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Going 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round
'Cause you can't get off your feet
And 'round and 'round
Still taking all the heat
'Round and 'round
'Cause you can't get off your feet
'Round and 'round
Still taking all the heat
'Round and 'round
'Cause you can't get off your feet
'Round and 'round
Still taking all the heat
'Round and 'round
'Cause you can't get off your feet
'Round and 'round

Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
High shoes with the cleats a-clickin'
A tempermental glow

Don't you let me go
I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
I got a hold on you tonight
I got a hold on you
I got a hold on you

When I'm with you
Oh, oh it's magic
Just a little magic
You know it's true
Got a hold on you

Ooh twisted under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down
I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you tonight
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Yeah, oh

Oh, oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh, oh it's magic
Just a little bit of your magic
Pulls me through
You know it's true
Got a hold on you

I got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
That's right
It's magic

Oh, oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh, oh it's magic
Just a little magic inside of you
You know it's true
Got a hold on you
