You say: you can’t be sure And you say: he loves you more I give you all that I can seize But when I do, he gives it twice I buy a car, he buys a bus And just can’t match that fuzz I take you out, he takes you in And it seems, I just can’t win Ding ring-a-ding ding Ring-a-ding-ding ding… I just can’t win When I got you a fancy ring It didn’t seem to mean a thing I found out, he will not stop He bought you a jewel shop I took you to, a movie show But alas, how could I know From the film, I understood He’s a star, in Hollywood Ding ring-a-ding ding Ring-a-ding-ding ding… I just can’t win

Hangover 03:23
No one’s ever seen true love, Like me and Bobby Joe was. She wore my ring since she was 16, Then she got the seven year bug. When she told me she was leaving, I thought it was another bluff. I finally believed she was free, When she got the keys to the truck. Now it’s all over but this hangover, She left me in a cold, cold sweat. My head aches and my heart still breaks, She even took my last cigarette. And it’s all over but this hangover, She left me in a stone cold rut. Don’t know what hit me hair-of-the-dog that bit me, Still nippin’ me in the butt. Two aspirins couldn’t help me in the morning. Neither could Tylenol. Nothing would help this hand I’ve dealt. Cept’ maybe some more alcohol. Now I’m talking to this Margarita, With Bloody Mary still on my mind. I invited them in to help me forget, The sweetest little love of my life. Now it’s all over but this hangover, She left me in a cold, cold sweat. I lost a friend, so I got sauced again. This is one I’m gonna never forget. It’s all over but this hangover, She left me in a stone cold rut. Don’t know what hit me hair-of-the-dog-that-bit-me, Still nippin’ me in the butt. I’ve always said my liver may quiver. But that my heart would never break. Soon as we split felt like I’d been hit, In the head by a two ton safe. I hugged her picture told her how much I missed her. And I’d do anything to get her back. I’d do the dishes, and blow her kisses. Even massage her back. Now it’s all over but this hangover, She left me in a cold, cold sweat. My head aches and my heart still breaks, She even smoked my last cigarette. It’s all over but this hangover, She left me in a stone cold rut. Don’t know what hit me hair-of-the-dog that bit me, Still nippin’ me in the butt.

Well it’s me, little baby, it’s a long time no see Guess you wonder what I’ve been doing For such a long time Well, I’ll tell you: I’ve been thinking and I need to talk with you I’ve been missing you baby, almost every day Ever since the time you passed my way Things won’t be like they should be Until we spend some time - Spend some time with me You say, I should have told you A long time ago Should have told you, back then, When you might have felt the same But I failed, and I’m to blame If I’ll live my life in vain I’ve been missing you baby, almost every day Ever since the time you passed my way Things won’t be like they should be Until we spend some time - Spend some time with me

You move into Bill City just to find a place to play to play the game of guitar then you need a place to stay The city of Bill City is a money minded place where money talks but men shut up and pay or go away You need to take a loan to buy a home that’s what they say but to get a loan and to feed the bank you need some steady pay This keeps you stuck in the factories, die a bit each day The system’s very well designed they thought out that way There’s no way you can win, but a hundred ways to lose The blood suckers they suck you out no matter how you choose They may claim each thing you own except your worn-out shoes A hundred ways that sure will give the bad investment blues You’re a restless soul you can not sleep; you prowl the streets at night The medicine man you’re bound to meet he keeps you up alright, but every time you meet him and he helps you out once more, the price is going up and that’s a guarantee for sure There’s no way you can win, but a hundred ways to lose... On Monday morning loaded up like wild Bill Hickok’s gun, you’re heading for the bank to get the final transfer done You pull the gun inside the door but the guard just knocks you to the floor, and off you go, there you go, to do some time once more There’s no way you can win, but a hundred ways to lose…

I had a sweetheart, young and true but I got bored and it fell through Another week, and back on track, she wouldn't have me back That's how the story always goes: Acting first, no thinking twice Now I've learned, I'm on my toes, and I have some good advice: Pause and rewind, I wanna try it again Pause and rewind, I don’t want this to end I feel so doggone left behind Now won’t you be so kind: Pause and rewind Whenever there's a woman with interested in me I'll always turn her down, as I'm too blind to see When she's gone, and I'm alone I may wake up and tell her yes What then just might have been is just another guess Pause and rewind, I wanna try it again Pause and rewind, I don’t want this to end I feel so doggone left behind Now won’t you be so kind: Pause and rewind Life is filled with chances so there is no use to hesitate Things will only seem so clear, once it is too late If I live till I get old I know what I will do If live to 82 I will be telling you: Pause and rewind, I wanna try it again Pause and rewind, I don’t want this to end I left my future far behind Now won’t you please be kind: Pause and rewind

Window View 03:10
I’m looking through my window It’s another lonely day I wonder why it’s cloudy. But don’t ask me why it’s grey The weather man he promised: sunshine all the way But I’m looking through my window, anther cloudy day. I wonder where I hang my hat and where I lay my dreams I wonder if it always was as cloudy as it seems I wonder, yet I wonder, am I afraid to know And I wonder why I wonder, I may already know I’d rather look through my window than to face the world outside Cause here, where I am, I can also hide Just like a moony morning mist I’m bound and I am free I may exist, but I don’t need to be I don’t think I’m born to lose, I’ve always tried to win And I won’t get the lovesick blues As long as I stay in I have loved and I have lost But I won’t lose again I’m looking through my window I won’t lose again I’d rather look through my window than to face the world outside Cause here, where I am, I can also hide Just like a moony morning mist I’m bound and I am free I may exist, but I don’t need to be

Call Me Up 02:59
If you’ll ever feel alone at night And have no one to turn to If no one else will do you right I’ll be there for you There is no reason, none at all, To hesitate to give a call No matter what is on your mind I’m really not so far behind All you’ve gotta do is call me up All you’ve gotta do is phone me All you’ve gotta do is call me up And I’ll be there for you I’ll be there at your command To comfort you to understand Help you out or take you through I’ll be there for you. I’ll try to help with anything If you would only give a ring That’s my one and main advice To use the telephone device All you’ve gotta do is call me up All you’ve gotta do is phone me All you’ve gotta do is call me up And I’ll be there for you When you’re feeling lonesome Left alone or blue Think about how much I care for you No matter where you are I don’t care what you’re up to Call me Up And I’ll be there for you

I never thought a love could last so long I thought that it would die, but I was wrong This love is bound to me, it will never set me free A love that never seem to die A lifelong love - it doesn’t sound so bad That’s what everyone wants to have had but I’m not really sure if I want it anymore: A love that never seem to die I want to out, I can’t stay in It’s a game I cannot win I want to have my way, I don’t want to stay I don’t want to sit at alone and cry I want to sing, I want to dance I want a fling, I want romance I want to have my way, I don’t want to stay And I don’t want to sit alone and cry For a love that never seem to die I don’t know what spell you might have cast But did you really think of it to last? You might have had your way but I am bound to stay with a love that never seem to die I want to out, I can’t stay in It’s a game I cannot win I want to have my way, I don’t want to stay I don’t want to sit at alone and cry I want to sing, I want to dance I want a fling, I want romance I want to have my way, I don’t want to stay And I don’t want to sit alone and cry For a love that never seem to die

Blisters 03:03
I had bought myself a pair of brand new dancing shoes I took them out, to try them out to some red hot rockin blues I meant to take it easy, to have one dance or two but my fate did not agree, as I run in to you We had one dance, and then one more and an onther one again We danced the night away and I don't know what to blame Cause I don't know, how many times we danced round the hall and I never noticed, my shoes were much to small I've got blisters on my feet, that's what you left for me Blisters on my feet, as bad as they can be But the blisters on my feet makes me smile all night through cause when they ache, I start to think of you Then when the music stopped, and I took you to the door we agreed some other time we'll meet and dance some more But then I felt my blisters and I acted like a clown For when I got your number I never wrote it down I got blisters on my feet as that's what you left for me Blisters on my feet, as bad as they can be But the blisters on my feet makes me smile all night through cause when they ache, I start to dream of you

I know a guy too old rock But he still tries, to turn the clock He tries to bring up something new But that is very hard to do The same three choirds and a kindergarten rhyme Let's go baby, one more time I know a guy called liqour-Bob He's too drunk, to get a job He drinks all night and he drinks all day He drinks and fights his life away Whiskey, booze and beer and wine Let's go Bobby, one more time I've got a girl with a tiny brain Sometimes she will drive me insane If she catches one refrain She wants to hear it again and again She gives the jukebox another dime Let's go baby, just one more time One more time, it's a simple game One more time, on a one-way lane One more time, just all the same One more time, let's do it again
