There's only one good thing about summer and it's you
I hate the beach, I hate the sand, I hate the heat, I can't stand
Those summer jams try to get you in a summer mood
But when we laid out on a blanket and watched for shooting stars
I knew we’d captured summer in a jar
‘Cuz there's one good thing about summer and it’s you
There’s a lot of things wrong with summer, it’s true
I hate the bugs, I hate the sun, I hate the crowds, I hate the heat
I hate the street festivals with those bands playing sloppy blues
But when we biked across the city on the shortest night of the year
The whole damn point of summer became clear
I want to spend every night of the summer with you
There's one good thing about summer and it’s you
I want spend every night of the summer with you

Birthday Girl

Another week is over, another Friday night
You wanna watch some TV, well you better think twice
Because oh my golly looks like there's another candle on your cake
Run upstairs put your lipstick on, we're headed out to celebrate
I texted all your girlfriends and we’ll meet up for last call
You're my Cinderella -- won't you join me at the ball?
Cuz you're my birthday girl, and I'm the lucky one
You're looking so good, we're gonna have so much fun
And I'm so glad you've made another trip around the sun
Happy birthday, Birthday Girl
It's been a month of Sundays -- let's put the cherry on top
Come on and show me what you're working with -- make that soda pop
Fire up the fog machine, confetti in your hair
Here comes the party truck! Let's load it on up, we're headed out to who knows where
Let's not take this night for granted it comes only once a year
So come on down, I'll buy a round for everybody here
You're my birthday girl, and I'm the lucky one
You're looking so good, we're gonna have so much fun
And I'm so glad you've made another trip around the sun
Happy birthday, Birthday Girl
It wasn't always a cakewalk, a lot of times they were hard
Last winter nearly broke us -- we still carry the scars
We kept our faith in each other rediscovered close under the covers
And now we've made it through
Oh my darling what a year it's been -- at least I got to live it with you
After all this time together we'll look back with no regrets
‘Cuz you're every bit as saucy as the day when we first met
Cuz you're my birthday girl, and I'm the lucky one
You're looking so good, we're gonna have so much fun
And I'm so glad you've made another trip around the sun
Happy birthday, Birthday Girl

Losers Win

He said wait right here for just a minute
And a minute turned to seventeen years
He said babe I swear I won’t be gone for long
Guess who’s turned up back in town
Singing Christmas carols on your lawn
He’s got a photo with Sammy Hagar
And a tattoo says Aloha
He’s got a scar that runs from his elbow to his watch
Hung up on the baby sitter
Stepping in your kitty litter box
He got it in his socks
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to find a new kind of trouble
Stacked my chips at the edge of the table
Now I’m gonna push ‘em in
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to roll my lucky number
‘Cuz only for this evening losers win
He’s got a bit of a limp but that don’t stop him
From pulling you out on the dance floor
He asks the band if they can play “Within Your Reach" (I can't live without your touch)
He’s still got that wallet chain
It’s the only thing that kept him sane in Long Beach
He says he left his heart in Fresno
And his credit card in Houston
Left his muffler at a truck stop in Buffalo
Eating up those highway miles
Dreaming of your crooked smile back home
Got a long way to go
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to find a new kind of trouble
Stacked my chips at the edge of the table
Now I’m gonna push ‘em in
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to roll my lucky number
Cuz only for this evening losers win
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking in all the bus stops and Seven Elevens
We got one chance to get it together
Come on won’t you let me in?
Tell me where are you tonight?
I’m looking for someone to find the best kind of trouble
Cards out on the table -- losers win
Where are you tonight?
‘cuz only for this evening losers win

Somebodies
03:49
|

She dances alone out in the parking lot
Bouncing off the cars
She don’t care much for the night life
She just wants to see the stars
She don't waste time at the stop signs
She's a green light go time girl
Always looking past the cornfields
Another planet, another world
She says I could be anybody you could be anybody, too
We don’t have to be nobodies, let’s be somebody new
She don't care much for the night life
I swear she only comes alive
When we're parked out by the airfield
Wondering what it's like to fly
Watch the city getting smaller
As we reach the stratosphere
We don’t know our destination
We just know it isn't here
She says I could be anybody, you could be anybody, too
We don’t have to be nobodies, let’s be somebody new
We'll be somebodies soon
I could be anybody, you could be anybody, too
We don’t have to be nobodies, let’s be somebody new
I could be anybody you could be anybody too
we don’t have to be nobodies, let’s be somebody new
I can be anybody, you can be anybody
I'll never be nobody with somebody like you
We'll be somebodies soon

The Way She Moves
03:01
|

She keeps a paintbrush behind her ear
You never know when she'll disappear
I think I'm in love, think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Pencil portraits on the city bus
Gives them away when her stop comes up
I think I'm in love, think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Shadow puppets on the bedroom wall
Never want to leave her room at all
I think I'm in love, think I'm in love, think I'm in
Love with everything that ever might bring us together
Help me find a way to kick these blues
I love the way she never seems to notice that I'm not kidding
And the way she moves
She makes a mess when she's waking up
Nail polish in a coffee cup
I think I'm in love, think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Sticky notes on her TV screen
Cutting up all her magazines
I think I'm in love, think I'm in love, think I'm in
Love with everything that ever might bring us together
Love sick, gonna kick away these blues
I love the way she never seems to notice that I'm not kidding
And the way she moves, the way she moves, the way she moves
She can't wait till we make it home
Pulse pounding like a metronome
Can't wait till we reach the car
Both hands in the cookie jar
I think I'm in love - think I'm in love

I’m a fool to think you ever think about me at all
It’s so cruel -- You got me plunging over the waterfall
It's not cool -- You got me bouncing around like a superball
I let my guard down, now you turned me upside down
It’s the illustrated book of Cupid
Flip thru the pages, tell me what do you see?
In the illustrated book of Cupid
Is there a picture of you and me?
Shot through the heart, shot through with ecstasy
I been slayed from the first time I saw you walk my way
I been struck -- here it comes now, I'm gonna push my luck
I been changed -- I ain’t never, no I'm never gonna be the same
Show me that smile -- gotta get you alone for a while
It’s the illustrated book of Cupid
Flip thru the pages, tell me what do you see?
In the illustrated book of Cupid
Is there a picture of you and me?
Shot through the heart, shot through with ecstasy

Bad Together
03:38
|
|||
Oh it's not so hard to see
The way you look at me
Oh I wanna get close to you
That's what I'm gonna do
Feel my stomach tighten up
Blood rush in my ears
Haven't felt this dangerous
In way too many years
Not getting any younger
Don't got time to waste
We could make each other so delighted
With just a little taste
Oh, we could be bad together
Stay in bed all day
We could be bad together
Don't care what they say
You know we can’t be good for long
You’re my kind of wrong
Oh I got this appetite
Keeps me up at night
Oh I ain't been this alive
Since I was twenty-five
Don't wanna be your partner
Don't wanna be your friend
I wanna be your everything
Till the very end
Girl let's go get mixed up in it
Girl let's go get gone
Girl let's go light cherry bombs
Stay out till the dawn
Oh, we could be bad together
Stay in bed all day
We could be bad together
Don't care what they say
You know we can’t be good for long
You’re my kind of wrong

Drinking Alone
03:53
|

Baby, baby
I been dragging through my days
Brushing my teeth seems so pointless
Since you went away
Baby, baby
You broke my heart in two
You left the piece with my name on it
And took the part called you
Now I'm drinking alone on a Friday night
Hoisting a glass with nobody in sight
Setting ‘em up and knocking ‘em back
And I'll be sleeping on the bathroom floor
Telling myself when I look in the mirror
Never should have let you go
Drinking alone on a Friday night
Waiting for the undertow
Honey, sugar
When you coming home?
Back from Salt Lake City
Back where you belong
Honey, sugar
Do you still wear that ring
They say don't go back to Rockville
But they never mentioned Silver Spring
I'm drinking alone on a Friday night
Hoisting a glass with nobody in sight
Setting ‘em up and knocking ‘em back
And I'll be sleeping on the bathroom floor
Telling myself when I look in the mirror
Never should have let you go
And I'm drinking alone on a Friday night
Waiting for the undertow
Who's gonna take you out tonight?
Who's gonna hold your hand?
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Tell me who's gonna be your man?
Sweetheart, darling
Did I tell you that I've changed
I always take the garbage out
And I don't forget to shave
Sweetheart, darling
I'm not the guy you knew before
Wheatgrass smoothies and spinach shakes
Are the strongest drinks I pour
No more drinking alone on a Friday night
Hoisting a glass with nobody in sight
Setting ‘em up and knocking ‘em back
No more sleeping on the bathroom floor
Telling myself when I look in the mirror
Never should have let you go

Honey Don't
02:41
|
|||
You been dressing kind of different trying out a new scent
Girl you never looked so good
I been sleeping through the morning, blowing past the warnings
Drinking more than I should
But if you think that you can step out whenever without
Setting off the alarm
The thoroughbred's out of the barn
Honey don't
There ain’t no way you’re gonna break me
Don’t
You know that you can try, you ain’t never gonna shake me
You been doing lots of talking
Seems like way too often
You're stepping out to take a call
I been holed up in the basement
Thinking my replacement
Might be anyone at all
But if you think you can ditch me
Drop me or unhitch me
You'll find that we're tangled tight
It's gonna be a hell of a night
Honey don't
There ain’t no way that you can lose me
Don’t
You know that you can try but you’re always gonna choose me
Don’t
You never never never never gonna drop me
Don’t
You know that you can try but you ain’t never gonna stop me
Honey don't think you can get away with murder
Honey don't think you've found the perfect crime - not this time!

All Torn Up Over Tina
02:35
|

I feel funny, it’s mystifying
The way my stomach keeps butterflying
Yesterday I was as cynical as Sartre
Now today I’ve had a change of heart
And I’m all torn up over Tina
All torn up over Tina
I can’t sleep straight when I go to bed
With pictures of Tina running in my head
My cool composure’s been ripped to shreds
‘Cause Tina’s got me all torn up
Tina’s got me all torn up
I feel funny but it’s elating
The way my heart keeps palpitating
My friends don’t understand a word I say
Tina understands so it’s all okay
Chorus
And I’m all torn up over Tina
All torn up over Tina
I can’t sleep straight when I go to bed
With pictures of Tina running in my head
My cool composure’s been ripped to shreds
‘Cause Tina’s got me all torn up
Tina’s got me all torn up
I feel funny, I can’t think
Feel drunk like I’m drunk but I haven’t had a drink
My friends don’t understand a word I say
Tina understands so it’s all okay
Chorus
And I’m all torn up over Tina
All torn up over Tina
I can’t sleep straight when I go to bed
With pictures of Tina running in my head
My cool composure’s been ripped to shreds
‘Cause Tina’s got me all torn up
Tina’s got me all torn up

Couple of kids at the Ramada Inn
Waiting for the lights to dim
Looking for something gonna suck them in
Or at least will pass the time
How are those kids supposed to know
This might be their last picture show?
They got ninety minutes till the credits roll
To remember every line
Do you love me? I need to know for sure
‘Cuz I'm dying out here waiting for the cure
Do you love me? I thought I'd know by now
It's been way too quiet
Since the circus left town
Couple of kids out by the loading dock
Huffing rainbows through a sock
Thinking that they might try to pick the lock
That keeps this city shut
How were those kids supposed to know
When the door swings open and they're free to go
They'll be stuck outside with a cold wind blowing
And a rumbling in their guts?
Do you love me? I need to know for sure
‘Cuz I'm dying out here waiting for the cure
Do you love me? Do you remember my name?
Since the circus left town
Things just aren't the same
Two kids parked in a dead end lane
Heater blowing, radio playing
Telling each other nothing's gonna change
One of them's telling the truth
How were those kids supposed to guess
That this would be their last caress?
And they’d be thinking bout that moment till their very last breath
Singing those parked car blues
Do you love me? I need to know for sure
Cuz I'm dying out here waiting for the cure
Do you love me? Do you remember my face?
Since the circus left town
Nothing's been replaced

Alone Together
04:02
|
|||
Now we're alone together
Finally alone together
Get a chance to leave them all behind
‘cuz when we're alone together
Really alone together
Get a chance to say what’s on our minds
Now that we've left the party
Now that we've ditched everybody
Feels so good to get out of the crowd
Where there's no one to watch us
And no one to stop us
From saying things we've never said out loud
Valet parking doors unlocked
Keys in the ignition
Here’s our chance let’s make our getaway
Hold my hand and don’t let go
They won’t know that we’re missing
Until we’re several hundred miles away
And we’re alone together
Finally alone together
Can’t believe I get you to myself
When we’re alone together
Wish this would last forever
Never get with anybody else
First star that you see tonight
Shining thru the city lights
Claim it as your own, don’t let it go
Wish I may I wish I might
Wish upon a satellite
Wishing that we’ll always be alone ... together
Don't want to be alone - don't want to be alone
Girl it's high time we get together, gonna roll that stone
Don't want to be alone - don't want to be alone
I been sitting on that moment, when you gonna come along
I been stuck inside my house, staring at the wall wondering if you even know my name at all
Now I'm busting on out gonna make my feelings known
I got all kinds of ideas bouncing ‘round my head
Wanna make em real before I wake up dead
But they'll never see the light if I'm working on my own
Don't wanna be alone
