I watch you come in here
Night after night
You sit over in the corner
Where there ain't no light
You got a beautiful smile
But you don't have fun
Somethin' about you baby
Been left undone
You've been over here in the dark so long
I ain't no doctor, but I know what's wrong…
You never been rocked enough
You never been rolled just right
You act tense and nervous
You know Honey, you're too uptight
You never been rocked enough
You never been rolled just right
My time is your time baby
And baby I've got all night

Never Been Rocked Enough; Delbert McClinton

So now sweet 16's turned 31
You get to feelin weary when the work day's done
Well all you gotta do is get up and into your kicks
If you're in a fix
Come back baby
Rock and roll never forgets

(Bob Seger — Rock and Roll Never Forgets)

She got a wiggle in her walk like ballin’ the jack
She can shake that thing and it’s a state-wide fact

That she’s 16 and single, boys
Got no boyfriend on her arm
She’s 16 and single boys
She don’t wear no good luck charm

Little school girl’s grown up
Lookin’ hotter than a city fire alarm
She looks so good when she walks down the street
Puttin’ love on the mind of every man that she meets

And she’s 16 and single, boys
Got no troubles on her mind
She’s 16 and single boys
She done took off her little school girl smile

Now she just can’t get enough
Loud music, fast cars and good times
Now I’m feelin’ rowdy and I’m lookin’ for some fun
You see I just had my birthday I done turned 21

And she’s 16 and single, boys
Got no boyfriend on her arm
She’s 16 and single boys
She don’t wear no good luck charm

Little school girl’s grown up
Lookin’ hotter than a city fire alarm

16 and Single; Kentucky Headhunters

Hello, baby
Yeah, this is the Big Bopper speakin'
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, you sweet thing
Do I what? Will I what?
Oh, baby, you know what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a ponytail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk
Make the world go 'round
Ain't nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long-necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's a-what I like

Big Bopper "Chantilly Lace"

I got to tell you, how to spell love
I got to tell you, how to spell love

[Verse 1]
Well, a man's a pig in a woman's eye
Till payday
To hold on to love
You got to work your life away
A little bad luck, it don't take much
For the boss, it ain't so funny
Lookin' for the woman you love
She's out chasin' money

[Hook]
Tell me, how do you spell love
M-O-N-E-Y
How do you spell love
M-O-N-E-Y

[Verse 2]
Took you home last weekend
Phone ringin' off the wall
Get a visit from a lawyer
Figure don't work at all
You reach to hold the woman you loved
So much yesterday
Cold as ice, you know why
Friday, where's the pay

[Hook]
Tell me, how do you spell love
M-O-N-E-Y
How do you spell love
M-O-N-E-Y

[Verse 3]
Well, I've seen it happen over and over
Time and time again
I've seen lovers turn against lovers
And friends against friends
So let this be a lesson
To whom it may concern
If you want to keep your woman
Go out and work and earn

[Hook]
Tell me, how do you spell love
M-O-N-E-Y
How do you spell love
M-O-N-E-Y
How do you spell it, yeah
M-O-N-E-Y
Spell it, spell it, spell it again, babe
M-O-N-E-Y

That's how I spell love
M-O-N-E-Y
I learnt from experience, yeah
M-O-N-E-Y
That's how I spell it, how i spell love
M-O-N-E-Y
Yeah, that's how I spell love
M-O-N-E-Y

The best things in life are free
But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees

Now, give me money (That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want)
That's what I want, yeah (That's what I want)
That's what I want

Your lovin' gives me a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bills

Now, give me money (That's what I want)
That's what I want (That's what I want)

[fromtheshwa]

Hey you
You've been around for a while
If you'll admit that you were wrong then we'll admit that we're right
Hey you
Come on along for the ride
We'll hit the money city if it takes us all night

And the joke is when he awoke his
Body was covered in coke fizz
And the joke is when he awoke his
Body was covered in coke fizz

(Sloan -- Money City Maniacs)

I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money

[EJunkie]

Well I drove to Laredo
I had the big eyes in my head
Well I drove to Laredo
I had the big eyes in my head

They were lookin' for a small dark somethin'

There's a stain in the trunk, man
That'll never ever ever come out
There's a stain in the trunk, man
That'll never ever ever come out

Was shaped like a small dark somethin'
It was all about a small dark somethin'

Livin' in a motel called Motel
Out on Refinery Road
Well the Sandman's dead so we walk the floor
The Sandman's dead. we don't sleep no more

We shot dope till the money ran out
We shot dope till the money ran out
We shot dope till the money ran out
Money ran out

Laredo (Smal Dark Something); Jon Dee Graham

 

[eddie kerr]

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh

(Careless Whisper -- Wham!)

Sung by the late George Michaels.

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Cuz I understand you’ve been running from the man that goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that’s abandoned

(America — Sandman)

 

[philonius]

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

(Metallica - Enter Sandman)

 

[bluebro69]

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

(The Chordettes -- Mr Sandman)

 

[ogibowt]

A candy colored clown
They call a Sandman
Tiptoes in my room
Every night
Just to sprinkle stardust
And to whisper
Go to sleep
Everything is alright

Roy Orbison..In Dreams

 

[fromtheshwa]

I'm a poor man's son, from across the railroad tracks
The only shirt I own is hanging on my back
But I'm the envy of every single guy
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money's low and my suit's out of style
But it's alright if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true

She says baby everything is alright, uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is alright, uptight, it's clean out of sight

(Stevie Wonder -- Upright (Everything's Alright))

 

[Boss Nass]

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie (black tie)
I don't need a reason why

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' not a single thing
Cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out, I'm gonna do you in

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Top coat, top hat
But I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat
Black shades, white gloves
Lookin' sharp, lookin' for love

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Sharp Dressed Man, ZZ Top

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Steppin’ out with my baby
Can’t go wrong cuz I’m in right
It’s for sure, not for maybe
That I’m all dressed up tonight

(Fred Astaire — Steppin’ Out With My Baby)

 

[fromtheshwa]

You can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be there in just a while, if you follow
Me babe, steppin' out
Into the night, into the light
You babe, steppin' out
Into the night, into the light

(Joe Jackson -- Steppin' Out)

 

[EJunkie]

That's my baby in the white boots, that's my baby on the floor
That's my baby having some fun, and yelling more, more, more

That's my baby in the short skirt, woo, out of control
Ah, she becomes another woman, when she rocks and rolls


And she's having a good time, going round and round
She's really ripping it up, you know she can't sit down, oh no

That's my baby looking so good, you know I can't explain
How when she's dancing in the white boots, it makes her go insane

She's having a good time, going round and round
She's really rippin' it up, you know she can't sit down, oh no

That's my baby in the short skirt
Oh, with the white boots on


That's my baby in the white boots, that's my baby on the floor
That's my baby having some fun, and yelling more, more, more

She's having a good time, going round and round
She's really rippin' it up, you know she can't sit down, oh no

That's my baby in the short skirt
With the white boots on

With the white boots on
In the short skirt
With the white boots on

Can't explain, you know I can't explain
How when she's dancing in the white boots, it makes me go insane

White boots, white boots
White boots, white boots

White Boots; The Vaughan Brothers

 

[EJunkie]

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
