I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me


. . .


I can't take it
This is gettin' silly
Can't find me no tranquility
Anymore, I just can't get through to you

We're fakin' it, it's time to admit it
You make me feel like an idiot
All the time, there's nothin' left for me to do
No, so

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you

We were friends but now you're the enemy
Don't need this when there's a remedy
It's the end
Play your trick on someone new

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you

Ain't life strange, how people change
You were all I wanted once
Now you're just a pain, pain

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you

Yeah yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you

. . .



Hey you must obey
Or you will bleed
You know I need to get my way
So now you listen up
You are my pup
I beat you up in every way

And when I speak to you
You answer true
Or I will make you black and blue
I love to make you wait
You take the bait
I know you hate and love me too

We are not to blame
For seeing love is pain
And we are not ashamed
To say that love is pain
And we'll do it again

I know you're not afraid
'Cause when you stayed
You knew you made the final show
So now you must submit
I'll never quit till you admit
You'll never go

We are not to blame
For seeing love is pain
We are not ashamed
To say that love is pain

We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed,
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
To say that love is pain
And we'll do it again

Woe baby you're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
Would you go do this, and go do that, nag

(Nag) You're always tellin' me what to do
(Nag) I just can't seem to get rid of you
(You're a nag) You order me around just like a slave
(Nag) You're gonna send me to an early grave
Would you go fix the bacon and don't burn the toast
Run down to the butcher shop and buy me a roast

(Nag) The way you're naggin' never gonna stop
(Nag) You always seem to be a blowin' your top
(You're a nag) One of these days I'm gonna lose my mind
(Nag) Jump out a window and I'll be real fine
Would you go do this, go do that
Wash up all the dishes
And don't you talk back

When I met you you were oh so sweet
Now you give me the bread and you take all the meat
You're always screamin' and hollerin' loud
I'm gonna buy me a ticket to the nearest cloud

You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
Would you go do this, and go do that, nag

Hey you, get out of here

When I met you you were oh so sweet
Now you give me the bread and you take all the meat
You're always screamin' and hollerin' loud
I'm gonna buy me a ticket to the nearest cloud

You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag nag naggity nag)
Would you go do this, and go do that, nag

I hate you, get out of here

Ah, now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
Crimson and clover

Ah when she comes walking over
Now I've been waitin' to show her
Crimson and clover over and over

Yeah, my, my such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
Crimson and clover over and over

Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over


. . .



The police were waitin' when the sun came up
You better move your ass
Or we'll really get rough
I never wanted trouble
But I sure got enough
I'm bad at bein' subtle
But I ain't that tough, no

Just a victim of circumstance
Didn't you know
Just a victim of circumstance
Doesn't it show
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Wherever I go
Just a victim of bad reputation
I go no chance of shakin'

Really gets you down when you don't belong
An' everyone around says you growed up wrong
But why do they resent it, I ain't doin' anything
They say that I'm demented an' I never could sing
Then everywhere I went I caused them such alarm
You know I never meant to cause anybody harm, no

Just a victim of circumstance
Didn't you know
Just a victim of circumstance
Doesn't it show
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Wherever I go
Just a victim of bad reputation
I go no chance of shakin'

I've been laughed at, I've been shut out
But let there be no doubt
Never been afraid of chances I been takin'

The police are waitin' when the sun came up
You better move your ass
Or we'll really get rough
I never wanted trouble
But I sure get enough
I'm bad at bein' subtle
But I ain't that tough, no

Just a victim of circumstance
Didn't you know
Just a victim of circumstance
Doesn't it show
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Wherever I go
Just a victim of bad reputation
I go no chance of shakin'


. . .



I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces

Since you left me and you said goodbye
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
All I do is sit and cry
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
you went away and left me misery
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
That's the way it'll always be

I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces

You said you loved me and you'd always be mine
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
We'd be together till the end of time
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
Now you say it was just a game
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
Well all you're doin' is leavin' me pain

Time goes by it goes so slow, oh yeah
Till you start to see it to
Only just a few days ago
You said you loved me and it made me blue

I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces

Now you're gone and I'm all alone
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
You're still way up there on your throne
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
Nothin' seems to ever go right
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
Night is day and day is night


. . .



I don't believe you should live by the rules
I don't wanna listen when life's so cruel
We're not sorry for the things that we do
And my advice to you OW
I never listen to things they say
'Cause what you hear gets in the way
I'm not gonna be on your side
If I find that you lied OW!

When you talk to me, be straight
When I take you home, be straight
Anyone can do what they wanna do
If you wanna please, be straight (be straight)

Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on
And I got one that you can rely on
If you wanna know my opinion
It don't matter what you've been in, yeah

When you talk to me, be straight
When I take you home, be straight
Anyone can do what they wanna do
If you wanna please, be straight (be straight)

If you wanna please, be straight
If you wanna please, be straight, be straight


. . .



Let me out of your iron grip
I don't want your lover's tips
I don't need your interrogations
Don't ask me 'bout my other relations

You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife

I come in late an' you throw a fit
You sit me down and give me some lip
Well I don't have to waste my time
A wimp like you ain't worth a dime

You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
No way, baby

Go away an' don't come back
I don't want my mirror cracked
Go and find somebody new
Got no time to mess with you

You're too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
No way, baby


. . .


Come, they told me, pa rum pa pum pum

Then he smiled at me pa rum pa pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum

What happened to my heroes
They seemed to disappear
The idols keep on singin'
But they don't sound sincere
Oh woe is me, oh woe is me

I don't got no money
All I got's a name
The future's lookin' hazy
But who can I blame
Oh woe is me, oh woe is me

Woe is me, woe is me
Is me me me me me

What happened to the parties
I thought they'd never end
I lost my only lover
Proves you can't trust a friend
Oh woe is me, oh woe is me
Oh woe is me, oh woe is me, yeah


. . .


Louie, Louie whoa baby
Say we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Louie, Louie, oh baby

Fine little boy he waits for me
He gets his fill, oh constantly
Seen him playin' round 'bout an hour ago
He's never without I'm waitin' at home

Louie, Louie, whoa baby
Say we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Goin' anywhere and he takes me there
Goin' down the road right in his ear

Louie, Louie, oh baby
Say we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say Louie, Louie, oh baby
Say we gotta go

Say we gotta go now
Yeah, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

I was caught so unaware
When you made other plans
Promises you swore to keep
Were more than you could stand

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

I was weak when you were there
And I felt so protected
But I'll make sure that you regret
The one that you rejected

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

Shame on you, I gave you love
I gave you love so true
But you ran away
So you just don't know what cha' blew
Yeah, yeah

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

Well I'm gonna raise a fuss
And I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just tryin' to earn a dollar
Well, I went to my boss
That governs me
He said "No, dice, bud
You gotta work late!"

Sometime I wonder
What I'm ever gonnna do
Well there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

Well, my mom and papa told me
Now you better earn some money
If one of you is gonna go
Ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work
I told my boss I was sick
He said, "You can't use the car
'Cause you didn't work a lick"

Sometime I wonder
What I'm ever gonnna do
Well there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

Gonna save two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
Well, I went to my Congressman
He sent me back a note
It said, "I'd like to help you, hon
But you're too young to vote"

Sometime I wonder
What I'm ever gonnna do
Now there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

Now there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues

Now there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
