Lyrics


1. SOMETHING IN YOUR MUTH

Got to meet the hottie
With the million dollar body
They say it's over budget
But you'd pay her just to touch it
Come on
Needs to hit the big screen
And shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood had called her
She'd be gone before you hollered
Come on

Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hittin' on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the hunny wanted you all along

(You naughty thing)
You're rippin' up the dance floor honey
(You naughty women)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(Your such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter
With something in your mouth

Crafty little lip tricks
Tattoos on her left hip
Bendin' as you're spendin',
There's no end to it so baby
Come on
Dressed up like a princess
Bettin' that her skin smells
Better than the scent of
Every flower in the desert
Come on

Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hittin' on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the hunny wanted you all along

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty women)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

She loves the night scene, bar queen
Just livin' for the fun
Takin' over every dance floor
Like she's the only one
In the spotlight, all night
And kissing everyone
And trying to look so innocent
While sucking on her thumb
You're so much cooler, when you never pull it out
So much cuter
With something in your mouth

(You naughty thing)
You're rippin' up the dance floor honey
(You naughty women)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty women)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your..


2. BURN IT TO THE GROUND

Well it's midnight, damn right
We're wound up too tight
I got a fist full of whiskey
The bottle just bit me
That shit makes me
Bat shit crazy
We got no fear, no doubt
All in, balls out

We're going out tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

We're screaming like demons
Swinging from the ceiling
I got a fistful of fifties
Tequila just hit me
We got no class, no taste
No shirt 'n shitfaced
We got'em lined up shot down
Firin' back straight crown

We're going out tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

Tickin' like a time bomb
Drinkin' 'til the night's gone
Get your hands off of this glass
Last call my ass
No chains no lock
'N this train won't stop
We got no fear, no doubt
All in, balls out

(x2) We're going out tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight


3. GOTTA BE SOMEBODY

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with

Chorus

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me like that.
Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
And damn it this feels too right
It's just like Déjà Vu
Me standin here with you
So I'll be holdinmy breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with?

Chorus

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me like that.
Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

Ooooooh,
You can't give up!
Lookin for that diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin on
Cause it could be the one,
the one you're waiting on

Chorus

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there


4. I'D COME FOR YOU

Just one more moment
That's all that's needed
Like wounded soldiers
In need of healing

Time to be honest
This time I'm pleading
Please don't dwell on it
Cause I didn't mean it

I can't believe I said
I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter
Cause I made it up
Forgive me now

Every day I spend away
My soul's inside out
Gotta be someway that I can
Make it up to you now
Somehow

By now you'd know that
I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes i'd come for you
But only if you told me to

And I'd fight for you
I'd lie it's true
Give my life for you
You know i would come for you

I was blindfolded
But now I'm seeing
My mind was closing
Now I'm believing

I finally know just what it means
To let someone in
Just see the side of me
That no one does or ever will

So if you're ever lost
And find yourself all alone
I'll search forever just to
Just to bring you home
Here and now this I vow

By now you'd know that
I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to

And I'd fight for you
I'd lie it's true
Give my life for you
You know i would come for you
You know i would come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what remember
You know i would come for you

Yes I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to

And I'd fight for you
I'd lie it's true
Give my life for you
You know i would come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what remember
You know i would come for you

I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what remember
You know I would come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what remember
You know i would come for you
You know i would come for you


5. NEXT GO ROUND

I wanna do it till the sun comes up
till we're both so good and sweaty we can't stand up
i wanna do it till we're both about to drop
as long as we're caught in together we're never gonna stop. (not sure bout this line though)

i wanna go until the neighbors all complain
cause they heard somebody screamin and they think we're both in pain
i wanna go so long your parents think you died
there gonna call the cops the CIA and then the FBI

(chorus)
Yeah, we're gonna love it when the lights go down
hold on here we go
yeah, we're gonna go untill our legs give out
round and round we go
yeah, we're gonna do it hangin upside down
up and down we go
yeah, we're getting ready for the next go round
round and round we go

shut the windows lock the doors unplug the phone
for all intents and purposes there aint no body home
then we can do it till the batteries are gone
and borrow two from the tv remote to throw this thing back on

i wanna cover you with jello in the tub
we can roll around for hours without ever comin up
i want you naked with your favorite heels on
(?) across my ass and ride me (?) (i've listend over and over, dont know what comes before or after that bit)

(chorus)
Yeah, we're gonna love it when the lights go down
hold on here we go
yeah, we're gonna go untill our legs give out
round and round we go
yeah, we're gonna do it hangin upside down
up and down we go
yeah, we're getting ready for the next go round
round and round we go

(solo)
(repeat chorus)


6. JUST TO GET HIGH

He was my best friend
I tried to help him
But he traded everything
FOR suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the LYING
Turn into hiding
With scars on both his wrists
His FINGERSTIPS were melted to the bone

But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an ally in the middle of the night
Tell me what ya know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what ya know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick
Get it over with
Your better off...
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
JUST to get high-IGH, IGH, IGH (HIGH-IGH,IGH,IGH)

Three days no sleeping
He gave up eating
He sold his mother'S rings
She SAID nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing
To supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife
On someone'S wife
And held it to her THROAT

But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an ally in the middle of the night
Tell me what ya know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what ya know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick
Get it over with your better off...
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
JUST to get high-IGH, IGH, IGH (HIGH-IGH,IGH,IGH)

Tell me what you did
Where you gone and hid
Show me...
What you really want, was it what you got?
Slowly...
Circle in the drain, throw it all away,
JUST to get high-IGH, IGH, IGH (HIGH-IGH,IGH,IGH)
HIGH-IGH, IGH...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick
get it over with
You're better off...
To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot
JUST to get high-IGH, IGH, IGH (HIGH-IGH,IGH,IGH)


7. NEVER GONNA BE ALONE

(Verse 1)
Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you.
Now I'm, wondering why, I've kept this bottled inside,
So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

(Chorus)
Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall...
Never gonna be alone!
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

(Verse 2)
And now, as long as I can, I'm holding on with both hands,
'Coz forever I believe that there's nothing I could need but you,
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

(Chorus)
Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

(Verse 3)
Ooooh!
You've gotta live every single day,
Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away,
Could be our only one, you know it's only just begun.
Every single day,
Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Tomorrow never comes...

(Verse 4)
Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

(Chorus)
Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day,
I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day.


8. SHAKIN HANDS

(Hey, Hey)
She had her eyes on the prize as the girl next door
You grow up quick when you grow up poor
It's the only way to LA that she knows
The Hollywood pose: teeth, tits, and drawers

It didn't take her long to leave the boulevard
So many Five Star friends with black credit cards
She'd try anything once
Cause anything goes
It never comes easy when you're digging for gold

(Hey, Hey)
Well she ain't no Cinderella
When she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far too pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She'd take your money make it twice as hot as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands

(Hey, Hey)
I doubt she'd even let the devil buy her little black book
City Hall would probably fall off if anyone got a look
Every aimless player is a favorite friend
B/c they all taste the fame in the back of a vans
A congressman would call her every once in a while
Got the school girl skirt on the top of the pile
She'd done everyone once
And everyone knows
You got to get a little dirty when you're digging for gold

(Hey, Hey)
Well she ain't no Cinderella
When she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far to pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She'd take your money make it twice is hot as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands

Well someone spilled the beans and now her name's in the press
Tough to keep it all a secret when you're one of the best
The judge is going easy because he paid for her breasts
Yeah he loves his naughty wicked witch of the west

Well she ain't no Cinderella
When she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far to pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She'd take your money make it twice is hot as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands


9. S.E.X.

No is a dirty word
Never gonna say it first
'No' is just the thought
That never crosses my mind

Maybe in the parking lot
Better bring your friend along
Better off together than just one at a time

S is for the simple need
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot
Cause thats the one you really want

Yes sex is always the answer
Its never a question
Cause the answer's yes
Oh the answer's yes
Not just a suggestion
If you ask the question
Then it's always yes

I'm lovin' what you wanna wear
Wonder what's up under there
Wonder if I'll ever have it under y tongue

I'd love to try to set you free
All of you all over me
I'd love to hear the sound you make the second you're done

S is for the simple need
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot
Cause thats the one you really want

Yes sex is always the answer
Its never a question
Cause the answer's yes
Oh the answer's yes
Not just a suggestion
If you ask the question
Then it's always yes

S is for the simple need
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot
Cause thats the one you really want

Yes sex is always the answer
Its never a question
Cause the answer's yes
Oh the answer's yes
Not just a suggestion
If you ask the question
Then it's always yes


10. TODAY WAS YOUR LAST DAY

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day


11. THIS AFTERNOON

Lookin' like another Bob Marley day
Hittin' from the bong like a diesel train
And I'm down with hangin' out this afternoon

We got weeds in the back yard 4 feet tall
Cheech and Chong would probably have smoked them all
So I'm out on the couch this afternoon

Beer bottles layin' on the kitchen floor
If we take 'em all back we can buy some more
So I doubt we'll go without this afternoon

You better hang on if your taggin' along
Cause we'll be doing this till 6 in the mornin'
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Tough to put the brakes on,
Doesn't matter when you'd rather

Get up, go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, we fall down
And then we do it all again
Just sittin' around, hangin' out this afternoon

The landlord says I should buy a tent
But he can kiss my ass cause I paid my rent
So I doubt, he'll kick me out this afternoon

Down on the corner in a seedy bar
Jukebox crankin' out the CCR
Had a few to Suzie Q this afternoon

You better hang on if your taggin' along
Cause we'll be doing this till 6 in the mornin'
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Tough to put the brakes on,
Doesn't matter when you'd rather

Get up, go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, we fall down
And then we do it all again
Just sittin' around, hangin' out this afternoon

Don't wanna wrist watch or an alarm clock
To see what time it is
From the moment I wake up
I just love being with all my friends
We barely get by, but have the best times
And hope it never ends
We drink all day till we fall down
So we can do it all again

It's not the human walk
It's the human race
If you're livin' on the edge
You're takin' too much space
So I doubt I'll figure out
Just what to do
'Bout to kick it around
Hangin' out this afternoon

You better hang on if your taggin' along
Cause we'll be doing this till 6 in the mornin'
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Tough to put the brakes on,
Doesn't matter when you'd rather

Get up, go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, we fall down
And then we do it all again
Just sittin' around, hangin' out this afternoon

Just kickin' around, hangin' out this afternoon
Sittin' around, hangin' out this afternoon
Just kickin' around, hangin' out this afternoon
Just sittin' around, hangin' out this afternoon
Just kickin' around, hangin' out this afternoon
Just sittin' around, hangin' out this afternoon.
