Something good, something bad
Something special, something sad
Something good, something bad
Gonna get it with or without you

Something weak, something strong
Not too much, and not for long
Something weak, something strong
Gonna get it with or without you

I don't need a shot, i'll take what you've got
Now it's in my head, that's what someone said

Could have been you, could have been me
Could have been him, or history
Could have been you, could have been me
Gonna get it with or without you

I don't need a shot, i'll take what you've got

Something good, something bad

No time for making my moves, no time
No time for hitting the grooves, no time

Summer comes and summers gone
Winter sings it's very sad song
The saddest part of all it seems
How we lose most of our dreams

No time for making my moves, no time
I got no time for hitting the booze, no time

The clock it turns at a rapid pace
And takes us to another place
The train it goes from here to there
Just left me standin' here

No time for making my moves, no time
I got no time for hitting my grooves, no time

I had the blues this mornin'
I cried all day
I guess you lose the blues in the mornin'
If you cry the blues away

I got no time for hitting my grooves, no time
No time for making my moves, no time
No time and nothin' to lose
I got no time for hittin' the booze, no time

Lets go man, hmmm i got no time
I got no no no no n n n no no time, no time

Don't call my name, i just must answer
This ain't no game, i ain't no chanter
Don't get me wrong, i don't want trouble
You come back strong, i'll come back double
I don't mess around, i'm dangerous

She's like a knife, sharp but pretty
She'll break your heart just for fun
You bet your life, you'll get no pity
She'll drop you flat when it's done
Look but just don't touch, she's dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous

Big city lights, cold city nights
Sharks taking bites, dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous

Big city lights, cold city nights
Sharks taking bites, dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous

So just get smart and keep away now
You wouldn't like the games we play now
It gets kinda' rough, we're dangerous
Dangerous

Wind up and i go inside (alone in my window)

If this life is driving you to drink
You're sitting around wondering just what to think
Well i got some consolation
I'll give it to you if i might

I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright

You know this world's just one big trouble spot
Some have and some have not
You know, i used to be troubled but
I finally saw the light

I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright

Don't waste your time trying to be a go-getter
Things will get worse before they get any better
You know there's always somebody playing with dynamite
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright

I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright

My sugar likes to take a drink
To help her sleep and make her dream
She's on to something but now they think
There's not enough blood in her alcohol screen

When things get on top of her
There ain't no stoppin' her
My sugar turns to alcohol
One trip to the watering hole
My sugar turns to alcohol
One more drip will take it's toll

Now when it gets into her head
There ain't nothin' i can do
Her days are numbered the doctor said
Now she's drinking and counting too

When time is running out
Now there can be no doubt
My sugar turns to alcohol
One trip to the watering hole
My sugar turns to alcohol
One more drip will take it's toll

Eight bars i'm getting old

Now, in the morning her heads so thick
There's only one thing that she can do
One drink and she's a brand new girl
Then that brand new girl wants one too

When things get on top of her
There ain't no stoppin' her
When time is running out
Now there can be no doubt
My sugar turns to alcohol
One trip to the watering hole
My sugar turns to alcohol
One more drip will take it's toll

My sugar turns to alcohol
One trip to the watering hole
My sugar turns to alcohol
One more drip will take it's toll

Yeah i warned you about that stuff baby
That ain't gin you're drinkin'
That's pure petroleum
Ha ha ha ha yeah....

God said to abraham 'kill me a son'
Abe said 'man, you must be putting me on'
God said 'no' - abe said 'what?'
God said 'you can do what you want abe,
But next time you see me coming you better run'
Abe said 'where'd you want this killing done?'
God said 'out on highway 61'

Georgia sam he had a bloody nose
The wellfare department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked poor howard 'where can i go?'
Howard says 'there's only one place i know'
Sam said 'tell me quick man i got to run'
Oh, howard he just pointed with his gun
He said 'that's way down highway 61'

Mack the finger said to louis the king
'i got fourty red-white-blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where i can get rid of these things?'
Louis the king said 'let me think for a minute son'
And he said 'yes, i think it can be easily done -
Just take everything down to highway 61'

Well the 5th daughter on the 12th night
Told the 1st father that things weren't right
My complexion she says is much too white
He says 'come here step into the light'
He says 'mam you're right - let me tell
The 2nd mother this has been love'
But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son
And they were both out on highway 61

Now the roving gambler he was very bored
Trying to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor
He said 'i never engaged in this kind of thing before'
But yes, i think it can be very easily done
Well just put some bleachers out in the sun
And head it out on highway 61

Oh baby, you know i may be a fool
I'm wastin' my time by goin' to school
The way you got me holdin' your door
I can't do my homework anymore
I can't do my homework anymore

Oh baby, i said you got me so blind
I'm walkin' 'round in circles, i could loose my mind
The way you got me holdin' your door
I can't do my homework anymore

Now baby you're as sweet as you can be
Everything you do keep on sending me
Just the kiss of your lips or the touch of your hand
Everything you do is really grand

Oh baby, oh, now what can i do
I'm walkin' round in circles in love with you
The way you got me holdin' your door
I can't do my homework anymore

Now baby you're as sweet as you can be
Everything you do keep on sending me
Just the kiss of your lips or the touch of your hand
Everything you do is really grand

I'm checking on you
You're checking on me
The moment we walk out the door
We're battered and blue
I'm reckoning we
Don't trust each other no more

Life is a riot
With spy vs spy
No peace and quiet
There's not a dry eye
In the house where we live
Life is a riot
With spy vs spy

You're running around
You're going outside
Trying to catch me with some blonde
I'm moving uptown
I'm ready to ride
Hey not so fast mrs bond

There's not a dry eye
In the house where we live

Sharp suit, big car
Who do you think you are ?
Moving real fast
How long can it last ?
Don't push your luck too far

I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar

She laughs, you smile
You think that's style
Like hiding on the bed
She touched you there
You're reaching for the stars

I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar

No truth or lies have passed alibis
She'll swear she's square
Well baby, i don´t care
I saw you in his car

I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar

Well i'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe i'll bump into some famous names
Robert johnson, elmore james
I'm standing at the crossroads again

Well i woke up this morning like i usually do
My baby was nowhere around
I looked in the mirror, i looked in the hall
In my slippers and my dressing gown
There were lipstick traces on the bedroom door
Goodbye she wrote, i don't want you no more
I guess i'm not the man she was looking for
But just the man she found

Well i'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe i'll bump into some famous names
Robert johnson, elmore james
I'm standing at the crossroads again

Here i am on my own again
Where did i go wrong this time
I treat them good like a gentleman should
And i never ever step out of line
I'm no kid i know my way around
Six foot six, i weigh 200 pounds
But i can't hold no romance down
Maybe i should give up trying

Well i'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe i'll bump into some famous names
Robert johnson, elmore james
I'm standing at the crossroads again

Well i'm standing at the crossroads again
Well i'm standing at the crossroads again

Well i'm going out west
Where the wind blows tall
'cause tony franciosa
Used to date my ma
They got some money out there
They're giving it away
I'm gonna do what i want
Do what i want
And i'm gonna get paid

Little brown sausages
Lying in the sand
I ain't no extra baby
I'm a leading man
Well my parole officer
Will be proud of me
With my olds 88
And the devil on a leash
My olds 88
And the devil on a leash

Well i kno karate, voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself available to you
I don't need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt

Well i don't lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think i'm ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name
To hannibal or maybe
Just rex
Change my name to hannibal
Or maybe just rex

I'm gonna drive all night
Take some speed
I'm gonna wait for the sun
To shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof
In the shape of a heart

And i'm going out west
Where they'll appreciate me
Going out west
Going out west

Talked to my baby on the telephone, she said
Stop what you're doing and come on home

I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone

She said daddy, don't you worry, don't you cry
You know i love you baby, said you're my heart's desire

I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone

Poor boy, up west, and the action wasn't going my way
Rich girl, best dressed, lookin' like she come out to play
I stood back, you swept passed, i decided that i'd give it a shot
I stepped in, i moved fast, i thought i'd give it everything that i'd got

We take tea at the ritz, i take you down to the docks
You can rely on me to lower the tone
You call me your bit of rough, i call you my bit of stuff
You ain't brass, you're a touch of class

I like a pint, you like your bubbles
We have a whip round when you order your drink
You're in who's who, i'm whose in trouble
You're upper class and i'm the missing link

You got a bun(?) in your mouth and too much time on your hands
I got an accent, you can cut with a knife
Your dad's a bit of a snob but mine's a terminal slob
You ain't brass, you're a touch of class

We go dutch, it ain't much
I knew a classy girl like you wouldn't mind
A bit rough, a bit tough, a bit of low life knocks that perfect punch

- guitar solo -

You got a race horse at home, you keep him down on the farm
I buy the sporting life to studying the odds
I got a feel for the streets, you got your country retreat
You ain't brass, you're a touch of class
You ain't brass, you're a touch of class
You ain't brass
Huh, you're a touch of class

I've been keepin' my ears to the ground
I've been hearin' rumors going round
Don't give me that dirty double talk
My advice to you is take a walk

Tell me can't you see
That you ain't foolin' me
So tell me no lies
Don't tell me no lies

I've been keepin' my eyes open wide
You've been lyin' truth won't be denied
I can't stand you cheatin' me this way
I don't believe one single word you say

Tell me can't you see
That you ain't foolin' me
So tell me no lies
Don't tell me no lies

- harmonica solo -

I've been watchin' every way you go
I've got information don't you know
I have to say it ain't no big surprise
You've been messin' 'round but i got wise

Tell me can't you see
That you ain't foolin' me
So tell me no lies
Don't tell me no lies

Tell me can't you see
That you ain't foolin' me
So tell me no lies
Don't tell me no lies
So tell me no lies
Don't tell me no lies

Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house

Always looking for something to gossip about
You're going around from door to door
Shooting your mouth about things you don't know

Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house

Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about how i treat my wife

You tell everybody we fuss and fight every night
If you cause me trouble it's your trouble too
Something bad's gonna happen to you

Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house

Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry who knocks on my front door

You're walking, talking, pacing all over the floor
Screaming and scheming right through the halls
You got your big ears, man glued to my walls

Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house

In my home
In my home
In my home
In my home

If you've ever been down to new orleans
Then you can understand just what i mean
All through the week it's as quiet as a mouse
But on saturday night they go from house to house

You don't have to pay when you only mention
If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician
If you just happen to be passing by
Stop in at the saturday night fish fry

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

Now my buddy and me was on the bandstand
Fooling around, just me and him
We decided we could use something to eat
So we went to a house on rampart street

We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
A light-skinned miss said 'come in, please'
Before we could even bat an eye
We was right in the middle of a big fish fry

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

Now the woman was screaming and jumping and yelling
The bottles were flying and the fish were smelling
From way up above all the noise they made
Somebody hollered 'better get outta here, this is a raid'

I didn't know we were breaking the law
Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
They had locked up from the front and the back
Putting them in the wagon like potato sacks

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

I knew i could away if i had the chance
But i was shaking like i had st. vitus' dance
I tried to crawl under a bathtub
A policeman said 'hey, now where you going, bud?'

They got us outta there like a house on fire
And put us all in that black mariah
They might of missed one or two
But they got both me and my buddy too

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
My chick came down and she went my bail
Finally got me outta that rotten jail

If you ever wanna go get a fist in your eye
Just mention a saturday night fish fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
Don't ever mention a fish to me

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn

Well she's 30 in the bust
24 in the waist
44 in the hips, man
She got what it takes

You upset me baby
Upset me baby
Like being hit by a falling tree
Woman, what you do to me

I'd like to discribe her
It's hard to start
I better stop now
I got a very weak heart

You upset me baby
Upset me baby
Like being hit by a falling tree
Woman, what you do to me

She's not to tall
Her complexion is fair
Man she knocks me out
The way she wears her hair

You upset me baby
Upset me baby
Like being hit by a falling tree

She's not to tall
Her complexion is fair
Man she knocks me out

How could i explain
This feeling that's true
Honey i can hardly stand it
I wanna make love to you

When the stars fall from the heavens
And the rivers have stopped to flow
If you just stop and talk to me
Honey that's when i know

I ain't gonna try and tell ya
How it's made me so blue
Sitting alone and wondering
I wanna make love to you

Please stop and tell me
Tell me you want me too
Oh come on baby
I wanna make love to you

I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you

I wanna make love to you

Keep looking back over your shoulder
You don't know who might be there
Hiding under your bed or right behind your chair
Watching every move now and hearing every word
Be careful what you say now, you might be overheard

Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
He might be near

He's watching from the tv
He waits to make a pass
You pour him from a bottle
He's smiling from your glass
He talks through women's lips now
He laughs through those eyes
Shooting from the hip now
It's all a batch of lies

Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil

Don't say i didn't warn you
'cause i'm a man who knows
Who wishes he'd never been born
Bad from head to toe
Better keep your nose clean
And keep your cards to your chest
The only thing you can do know
Is keep hoping for the best

Don't talk of the devil

I just want to seek your love
And you to call my name
But i'm tied to another heart
Like a ball and chain
Shackled to a touch
That's as cold as steel
And all i need is for you to say to me
That our love is real to break these chains

I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and i will never be the same
So break these chains

You have opened my eyes
And i've finally seen
Love turns to a tie that binds when it's judgemeny day
She is not my lover
She's just a prison door
Say the words you know will turn me loose
I can't take this pain no more
Break these chains

I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and i will never be the same
So break these chains

Straps so tight they're cutting me
Cuts so deep they make my heart bleed
Only you could set me free
All it takes is your touch
To break these chains

- guitar solo -

I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and i will never be the same
I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and i will never never be the same

Oh lord - break these chains
Never never never never never going back
I don't wanna go back - no
Oh lord - break these chains

You got a new way of walking, got a new way of talking
You think that you're fooling me and i can't dig it
Girl i got a message, coming down the wire
Better that you know yourself

You've been rocking with somebody new
And it hurts all over my feelings
You've been rocking with somebody new

You got a new way of dressing and a new way of dancing
You think that you're fooling me and i can't see it

Better that you know yourself

You've been rocking with somebody new
And it hurts all over my feelings
You've been rocking with somebody new

Well, i'm still gonna be with you
Never gonna be the same
People been talking 'bout this business for years
Still, the same old game

You got a new way of kissing that i've been missing
You think that you're fooling me and i can't tell
Girl i got a message, coming down the wire
Better that you know yourself

You've been rocking with somebody new
And it hurts all over my feelings
You've been rocking with somebody new

I've been working every day tryin' to make a penny or two
I've been breaking my back workin' the whole week through
But i wouldn't mind if i had to work the weekend too

(i tell you why)
I'm just a fool for you honey
Nobody else but you
You make a fool of me honey
Nobody does it like you
You've got to look me in the eye
I'm just a fool for you

You make me weak in the knees
I shiver from my top to my toes
I've got an aching head
Tears runnin' down my nose
You've got a hold of me honey
Ain't that the way it goes

I'm just a fool for you honey
Nobody else but you
You make a fool of me honey
Nobody does it like you
You've got to look me in the eye

Don't you think it's a shame
I get a shiver through all my frame
Every time you call my name

Well i went to the doctor, he told me straight to my face
I went to the doctor, he said 'you ain't got no case'
He wouldn't give me no prescription
He said 'you've come to the wrong place'

(i tell you why)
I'm just a fool for you honey
Nobody else but you
You make a fool of me honey
Nobody does it like you
You've got to look me in the eye
I'm just a fool for you

I'm just a fool for you honey
Nobody else but you
You make a fool of me honey
Nobody does it like you
You've got to look me in the eye
I'm just a fool for you

I've got this girl, she's got this man
I do my best, i try to do what i can

She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn

I say to her that she's a mixed-up kid
She says to me, she says she know what she did

She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn

Caught between two lovers, that's how the story goes
This could be the end and i hope you can see
What you're doing to me

I can see you love him, i don't mind
But why do you have to have two of a kind?

She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn

Caught between two lovers, that's how the story goes
This could be the end and i hope you can see
What you're doing to me

I've got this girl, she's got this man
I do my best, i try to do what i can

She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn

Hit, git and split, i'm coming back home to you
Hit, git and split, i'm coming back home to you
There's nobody here gonna take the place of you

I got the blues, my baby's not here with me
I got the blues, my baby's not here with me
She's a little bitty chick and i'm never gonna let her be

Hit, git and split, i'm coming back home to you
Hit, git and split, i'm coming back home to you
There's nobody here gonna take the place of you

Clean the house woman, this time i'm on my way
Clean the house woman, this time i'm on my way
Don't make no plans for i'm coming back home to stay
