We got some thin' we both know it,
We don't talk too much about it
Ain't no real big secret, all the same,
Somehow we get around it

Listen, it don't really matter to me
Baby, you believe what you wanna believe
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there,
Revel in your abandon

Honey, it don't make no difference to me
Baby, everybody's had to fight to be fre e
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
No baby, you don't have to live like a refugee

Baby, we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now this ain't real to you
It's one of those things you got to feel to be true

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped,
Tied-up, taken away, and held for ransom

Honey, it don't really matter to me
Baby, everybody's ha d to fight to be free
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
No, you don't have to live like a refugee
Baby, you don't have to live like a refugee

She's a good girl, loves her mam a
Loves jesus and america too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day living in reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And i'm a bad boy cause i don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

And i'm free, free fallin'
Yeah i'm free, free fallin'

All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down ventura boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
A ll the good girls are home with broken hearts

And i'm free, free fallin'
Yeah i'm free, free fallin'
Free fallin', now i'm free fallin', now i'm
Free fallin', now i'm free fallin', now i'm

I wanna glide down over mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
Gonna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while

And i'm free, free fallin'
Yeah i'm free, free fallin'

It's all right if you love me
It's al l right if you don't
I'm not afraid of you runnin' away
Honey, i get the feelin' you won't

There is no sense in pretendin'
Your eyes give you give away
Something inside you is feelin' like i do
We've said all there is to say

Baby, breakdown, go ahead give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me through the night
Breakdown, i'm standing here, can you see?
Breakdown, it's all right
It's all right
It's all right

Breakdown, go ahead give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me through the night
Breakdown, i'm standing here, can you see?
Breakdown, it's all right
It's all right
It's all right

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like somethin' from a dream
Yeah i've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could have ever told me 'bout this

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Well yeah i might have chased a couple of women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as i feel right now
Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna live like i wanna live now

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more ca rd
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let 'em kill you baby, don't let 'em get to you
I'll be your breathin' heart, i'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go to far, don't let it get to you

You think you're gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine
Keep thinkin' that mind is gonna change
But i know everything is okay

She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

You want me to think that i'm being used
You want her to think it's over
You can't see it doesn't matter what you do
Buddy, you don't even know her

She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

You know , sometimes, i don't know why,
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I ain't really sure, but it seems i remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus

But when she puts her arms around me,
I can, somehow, rise ab ove it
Yeah man, when i got that little girl standing right by my side,
You know, i can tell the whole wide world, "shove it,"

Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she's all i need tonight

Every now and then, i get down to the end of a day,
I'll have to stop, ask myself, "what've i done?"
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
And nothin' ever really seem to come from it

And then she looks m e in the eye, says, "we gonna last forever,"
And man, you know i can't begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it

Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she's all i need tonight

Yeah, every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more,
I find myself havin' to reach out and grab hold of somethin'
Yeah, i just catch myself wonderin', waitin', worryin'
About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'.

And then she looks me in the eye, says, "we gonna last forever,"
And man, you know i can't begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it.

Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she's all i need tonight

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, i was drivin'
The trees went by, me and del were singin'
Little runaway, i was flyin'

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

I felt so good, like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppabl e
It was always cold, no sun shine

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever is mine

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

Well, it was nearly all summer we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
And i'd show you stars you never could see
Baby, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me

Baby, time meant n othing, anything seemed real
Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
Like every word you said was meant to be
No, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the lo sers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Two cars parked on the overpass,
Rocks hit the water like broken glass
I should have known right then it was too good to last
God, it's such a drag when you're livin' in the past

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
Yeah, they get lucky sometimes

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes

Even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers get lucky sometimes

I was talking with a friend of mine,
Said a woma n had hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so
And turned around and let him go
Then he said, "you better watch your step,
Or your gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies,
Cut you down to size"

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday i might need you baby
Don't do me like that

Listen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Givin' someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies,
Cut you down to size

Don 't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if i love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't...

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if i need you baby?
Don't do me like that

'cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying, "love doesn't last that long."
I got this feelin' inside night and day
And now i can't take it no more

Listen honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Givin' someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies,
Cut you down to size

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if i love you baby ?
Don't, don't, don't, don't...

Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
I just might need you honey
Don't do me like that

Wait!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby,
Don't, do n't, don't...

No!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby...

Oh, oh, oh...
