I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah
You always knew to wear it well and
You look so fancy I can tell
I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep

I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time time
'Cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time

I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to plead
Yeah, yeah, so plead me

You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
Yeah, you're just what I needed
Yeah, yeah yeah

oh well uh you might think I'm crazy
to hang around with you
or maybe you think I'm lucky
to have somethin' to do
but I think that you're wild
inside me is some child

you might think I'm foolish
or maybe it's untrue
(you might think I'm crazy)
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
but all I want is you

you might think it's hysterical
but I know when you're weak
you think you're in the movies
and everything's so deep
but I think that you're wild
when you flash that fragile smile

you might think it's foolish
what ya put me through
(you might think I'm crazy)
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
all I want is you

and it was hard so hard to take
there's no escape without a scrape
but you kept it going till the sun fell down
you kept it going

oh well uh you might think I'm delirious
the way I run you down
but somewhere sometimes
when you're curious
I'll be back around
oh I think that you're wild
and so-o uniquely styled

you might think it's foolish
this chancy rendezvous
(you might think I'm crazy )
you might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
all I want is you-a-oo
all I want is you
(all I want is you)
all I want is you

let the good times roll
let them knock you around
let the good times roll
let them make you a clown

let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair

let the good times roll
let the good times roll
let the good times roll

let the stories be told
let them say what they want
let the photos be BOLD
let them show what they want

let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
let the good times roll
let the good times roll-oll
won't you let the good times roll

good times roll

if the illusion is real
let them give you a ride
if they got thunder appeal
let them be on your side

let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
let the good times roll
won't you let the good times roll-oll
let the good times roll

let the good times roll
won't you let the good times roll

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong (what now?)
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall?
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call?

Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream?

You can't go on...
Thinking nothing's wrong (what now?)
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)

Who's gonna hold you down
When you....(shake?)
Who's gonna come around
When you break?

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong (but now?)
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Oh, you know you can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)
(bye bye bye)

she's takin' a swipe at fun
she gives me a reason
for sighting my sights

you're always dancing down the street
with your suede blue eyes
and every new boy that you meet
he doesn't know the real surprise

(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
oo, she'll make you flip
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips
well she's my best friend's girl
she's my best friend's girl-irl
but she used to be mine

you've got your nuclear boots
and your drip dry glove
oo when you bite your lip
it's some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
yeah, I think you'll flip
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky

She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making a play and she can't go wrong
She never waits too long
She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

CHORUS
And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, let's go

She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
She never likes to choose
She's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before, she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round

I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
The high shoes
With the cleats a-clicking
A temperamental glow

How could you let me go

Oh, I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
I've got a hold on you tonight

Oh, I got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
(Got a hold on you)
That's right

(Uh oh, it's magic)
When I'm with you
(Uh oh, it's magic)
Just a little magic
You know it's true
I got a hold on you

Oh, twisted
Under, sideways, down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down

I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
Got a hold on you tonight

I got a hold on you
Got a hold on you
(Got a hold on you)
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Uh oh, when I'm with you
(Uh oh, it's magic)
Uh oh, it's magic

Just a little bit of
Magic pulls me through
I got a hold on you

I've got a hold on you
I got a hold on you
(I got a hold on you)
That's right, it's magic

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Uh oh, it's magic
When I'm with you

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Just a little magic
Inside of you

(Uh oh, it's magic)
Takes a little bit of magic
That's true
When I'm with you
