source:Trick Cheap Time:2005-08-10



I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I'd love you to love me.
I want you to want me.

I need you to need me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand new shirt.
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me.
I'd love you to love me.
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?

Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
I want you to want me.

I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me.

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?

I need you to need me.
I want you to want me.
I'd love you to love me.
I want you to want me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me

1. I want you right back

The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.

Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
Was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I . . .
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.


~ Dylan

[southpaw]

[Radical Activist]

[LynneSin]

4. If it helps I'm listening to "Ramble On" by Led Zeppelin right now

Does that clear up your earworm?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

7. Much, thank you.

Plus, ELO's "Evil Woman" is on the radio right now. :)

[Radical Activist]

[kwassa]

11. "California Man" is my favorite Cheap Trick song

great flat-out rocker.

Goin' to a party,
meet me on after school.
Well we're goin to a place
where the jive is really cool.

And if the band stops a playin'
There's a jukebox down the hall.
And with your blue dress on, your folks all gone.
You're sure to give the guys a ball.

CHORUS:

Get that real guitar boy shakin',
I'm a California man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man.


Well I rocked my mamma so bad
This a woman's she’s a making me mad.
Well I don't care if her legs start aching,
I'm a California man.

Get that real guitar boy shakin',
I'm a California man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man.I'm a California man.

Oh my legs start to shiver
When I hear you call my name.
Well, my knees keep a knockin,
And my bow tie's bustin' out

When my feet start to fly,
An' my jeans slung way down low.
You know I’m back on my heels and it's making me feel
Like the king of rock n' roll

Get that real guitar boy shakin',
I'm a California man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man.Solo

[dolo amber]

12. No.

That could lead to hot man-on-box turtle action. :silly:

[LynneSin]

15. Does this turn you on?

[Deja Q]

13. Don't tell me what to do!

:P

I'll want you anyway! :D

[amitten]

14. WORST. SONG. EVER. Thanks for posting.

There was recently a "post a song that annoys the crap out of you thread" and I couldn't think of the song.

This is the song.

[LynneSin]

16. Worse than THIS song?

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Say you don't know me, or recognise my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba,
Listen to the radio -
Don't you remember?
We built this city,
We built this city on rock an' roll!

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares - they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, write us off the page

Marconi plays the mamba,
Listen to the radio -
Don't you remember?
We built this city,
We built this city on rock an' roll!

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh, but we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in two watt guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, crawling through your schools

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
Out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday, I'm seeing that bumper-to-bumper traffic)

Don't you remember? (remember)

(Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

Marconi plays the mamba,
Listen to the radio -
Don't you remember?
We built this city,
We built this city on rock an' roll

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

(We built, we built this city)
Built this city (we built, we built this city)
(Repeat until fade)

[GalleryGod]

21. I Like that Song..Slick Rules.

:yourock:

But...that's why god invented menus...and of, course:think:
this IS DUJHS.:rofl:

[meegbear]

18. One of my favorites ...

Have you seen her face
She's got a face that would stop a clock
And with that face I surely won't stop
To look her in the eyes
But her money's green
Like tea and so's her teeth
But she's still so close to my reach
If I call, if I call at all
Any time at all
Any time at all
Any time at all
Any time at all
So the story goes
I think I'll take her for a ride
With this moneybag by my side
A giggolo is the only way to go
And So I show my face
And I can even fake a smile
But I'm laughing inside all the while
This little girl
She's a joke
She's a joke
She's a joke
Any time at all
Any time at all
Any time at all
Any time at all

>>>He's a whore, (I'd do anything for money)
>>>He's a whore, (Look at the things that I write)
>>>He's a whore, (Ooo, The stories I can tell)
HE'S A WHORE (IN THE MORNING, IN THE NIGHT)
I'M A WHORE (HE'LL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY)
I'M A WHORE (LOOK AT THE CLOTHES THAT HE WEARS)
I'M A WHORE (HE'LL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY
I'M A WHORE
AND SO THE STORY GOES
I THINK I'LL TAKE HER FOR A RIDE
WITH THIS MONEYBAG BY MY SIDE
A GIGGOLO IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO
OOOOOHHHH
WO WO-WO
OOOO WOO
OOOO OO OO OO

[jobycom]

19. Great band. Rick Neilson is a highly underrated guitarist.

[ceile]

20. Surrender!

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Away.
Away

[datasuspect]

22. i smoked a cigarette with the guitarist

in beaumont texas in front of the venue they were playing that night.

he brought me back with him to listen to the sound check.

[Sugar Smack]

23. We can ALWAYS count on you!!!

:rofl: :yourock: Gawd!!!

[Zavulon]

24. The song needs more cowbell. :) (NT)

[Ramsey]

25. Lynne.....

In case you've just emerged from a bomb shelter after many years, had a severe case of amnesia since 1979 or simply have been too stoned to realize it, we are now in the year 2006. That would be about 3 decades of time since the vast majority of the bands you seem to adore last recorded an album!!

:P

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

26. OM G!!!!

:rofl: :spray: Don't you freaking love her? :loveya: :yourock:

[LynneSin]

28. Wait till I start outing her DVD collection

Bedazzled?

The one with Brenden Fraiser and Elizabeth Hurley

Ramsey has her skeletons in her closet too, you know

[Sugar Smack]

31. I confess

to having "Blast from the Past" in my collection. And wearing it out. And rewinding it constantly.:hide: :loveya: :hug:

[Ramsey]

34. Fabulous eye candy

Enough said!

[LynneSin]

27. So David Bowie is a relatively new sensation in the music world?

:shrug:

Nuff Said

[Ramsey]

33. At least he's put out more than one album

In this millineum!

:evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

36. Yes, he's put out about 5 Greatest Hits CDs

:shrug:

You know I adore Bowie and hey, Robert Plant has put out 3 CDs this millinium and his Box Set is coming out next month. (Two CDs were of new material and the 3rd was a Greatest Hits with a CD filled with previously unreleased material - some from back in the mid-60s)

[Ramsey]

38. Heathen and Reality

Both new albums with brand new songs!!

[LynneSin]

39. and 5 greatest hits CDs

Come on, admit it, Bowie puts a new Greatest Hits CD out every year!! Hell even Zeppelin hasn't put out a 'Greatest Hits' CD (a couple of live albums but no collection of greatest hits)

[Ramsey]

41. If people are stupid enough

To keep buying the same songs over and over again, why should we begrudge Mr. Bowie the opportunity to exploit their stupidity and make a few more million?

[LynneSin]

42. Got a point there

:D

[Radical Activist]

30. hey, cheap trick released an album earlier this year.

Its called Rockford and I actually own it. Just sayin.

[LynneSin]

32. Ramsey has old-fart music in her collection AND Nickleback

I'm just saying

[Ramsey]

35. Not EXCLUSIVELY old fart music

Just saying!

:P

[LynneSin]

37. Hey, I have some new stuff

I just bought the new Red Hot Chili Peppers CD along with the recent CDs from Bruce SPringsteen, Neil Young, Pearl Jam and Dixie Chicks

So there! I'm modern!

[Ramsey]

40. But you never post about them

So how would we know that you actually have in fact entered the 21st century??

[GalleryGod]

43. Libby, with a slapshot from the point...She Scorrrrrrrrrrrrrres!

Merci Beaucoups:yourock:
