Look What the Cat Dragged In
Album - 1986 - Debaser id 21238

Remember the nights we sat
and talked about all our dreams
Well little did we know then
they were more distant than they seemed
Well I knew it
you knew it too
The things we'd go through
We knew the things we had to do
to make it, baby.

Chorus:
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true.

Life ain't no easy ride
At least that's what I am told
Sometimes the rainbow baby
is better than the pot of gold
You've got to stick it out
whether you're wrong or right
And you can't give in without a fight
to make it baby

Chorus

You gotta aim high, baby
whether you lose or win
And when you get to the top
You gotta get off or go right back down again

solo, chorus out

I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night

I grab my hat and I
grab my shoes
Tonight I'm gonna hit
the streets and cruise

Down the main strip and
check it out
With those schoolgirls
a hangin' around

Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face
I don't care if she's in leather or lace
cause I'm just lookin' for a little kiss

Chorus:
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight

Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts

I can't wait to get my hands on them
I won't give up until they give in

Now I'm not lookin' for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I can't have her, I'll take her and make her

Chorus, solo

Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here
No, not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
Cause there's something back there I want to show ya
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
Ah, come on honey, I wasn't that bad!
Oh, well

Chorus out

Late at night I close my eyes
And think of how things could have been
And when I look back
I remember some words you had said to me

It's better to have lost at love
Then never to have loved at all

Chorus
I won't forget you baby
(I won't forget you)
Even though I could
I won't forget you baby
(I won't forget you)
Even though I should, yeah

Sometimes in my head
I can still see pictures of you
And I laugh to myself
When I think of all those crazy things that we used to do

Although miles come between us
Just between you and me

Chorus

I should let you fade away
But that just wouldn't be me
Oh, baby

Solo

Although miles come between us
Just between you and me

Chorus

I won't forget you baby
(I won't forget you)
Memories slowly fade
I won't forget you baby
(I won't forget you)
And all the plans we made

I won't forget you baby

I went to bed too late
and got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin'
from too much booze

I got a foot in the gutter
A foot in the grave
I ain't seen home
In the last three days

Oh my god look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in

No tell, motel, hotel bed
If it wasn't for the sunlight I'd swear I was dead

I got a girl on the left of me
a girl on the right
I know damn well I slept with both last night

Oh my god look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in

I'm late for work on Monday
and my boss is bitchin'
Can't get out of bed
cause my head's still spinnin'

My hair's in a rat's nest
I look like hell
Half alive or half dead,
I just can't tell

Oh my god look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do

You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

"C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me"

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more more more!
Down the basement
and lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

She's got pizzazz
like a razzmatazz
I'd like to slide it in
but where do I begin

Wastes all my money
spends all my time
I ain't got no luck
can't change her mind

Chorus:
Blame it on you
I can't stand up
Blame it on you
I'm keepin' my mouth shut
Blame it on you
I can't see straight
Blame it on you
Uh-oh, too late

I want a little reaction
how 'bout a kiss or two?
She said, "Jump back honey,"
I said, "no can do."

Why do you always make a fool out of me?
I can't get no nookie
Just plain to see

Wastes all my money
Spends all my time
I ain't got no luck
Can't change her mind

Chorus:
Blame it on you
I can't get no sleep
Blame it on you
I'm in six feet deep
Blame it on you
well I guess it's true
Blame it on you
Yes, I do

I blame this whole damn mess, honey
right on you

Solo

Now listen little girl, let me explain
Why you got me in such a terrible way
