Vh-1 Behin

Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that i'm away
I wish i'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine
That you won't be in

When you looked at me i should've run
But i thought it was just for fun
I see i was wrong
And i'm not so strong
I should've known all along
That time would tell

A week without you
Thought i'd forget
Two weeks without you and i
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Chorus
Vacation
All i ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

A week without you
Thought i'd forget
Two weeks without you and i
Still haven't gotten over you yet

Chorus

You thought that i was on your side
And i'd do anything for you
But you found out yesterday
That you were wrong
I opened up the door
I said we were through

Now you're calling me
You want me back again
But i've just got to turn my head
And start to pretend

I've never seen you
You're someone i don't know
Are you just another boy
That i met long ago

You had me all to yourself
I thought that you were such a prize
I finally came to my senses
When i heard just one too many lies

You can talk about old times
They don't mean a thing to me
You're fading fast
Out of my memory

We all know the chosen toys
Of catty girls and pretty boys
Make up that face
Jump in the race
Life's a kick in this town
Life's a kick in this town

Chorus
This town is our town
It is so glamorous
Bet you'd live here if you could
And be one of us

Change the lines that were said before
We're all dreamers - we're all whores
Discarded stars
Like worn out cars
Litter the streets of this town
Litter the streets of this town

You sure know how to hurt a girl
Fewer hugs and no more kisses
Just water for your carburetor
And bearings for your pistons
Rev her engine for your pleasure
Caress and fondle her steering wheel
When you moan and hug her gear shift
Stop! think how it makes me feel

Chorus
Skidmarks on my heart
You've got me in fifth
You're burning rubber like my love
I'm driving in risk

Spend all your time and money
On that pontiac gto pile
Getting tired of your greasy antics
My pride's getting hurt by the mile
Blow her engine blow my mind
Keep her shocks and brakes aligned
I see that you're all jacked up
Leaving me and your exhaust behind

Chorus

I buy you cologne
You want axle grease
You say get a mechanic
I say get a shrink
I need promises
You want motor trend
Our love needs an overhaul
This may be the end

Chorus

If you get up and walk away
Leave the past behind
Go ahead and take a ride
No telling what you'll find

The words you say don't mean a thng
They fly right by my eyes
Lokin the mirror don't look at me
Maybe then you'll realize

Chorus
So get up and go
If you're so tired of moving slow

I was on the inside
Looking out for you
But you're the one to make the change
There's nothing i can do

Now's the time for you to move
Actions shout out loud
So cut the talk and move your feet
Cuz words get lost in crowds

Chorus

Quit talking
Start walking now

Dance to the poetry
It's gonna be just you and me
We'll groove on that groovy beat
It'll be boss keen neat yeah

The gang they'll all be there
Join the fun and don't be a square
We'll lipsync a go-go
Just like the lloyd thaxton show yeah

Chorus
Beatnik beach
It's really neat
Limbo down
Hit the ground

Put on your paisleys
Put on your black beret too
Join all us beatniks
Nothing better could happen to you yeah

Chorus

It used to be fun was in
The capture and kill
In another place and time
I did it all for thrills

Love me and i'll leave you
I told you at the start
I had no idea that you
Would tear my world apart

And you're the one to blame
I used to know my name
But i've lost control of the game
'cause even though i set the rules
You've got me acting like a fool
When i see you i lose my cool

Lust to love
Was the last thing i was dreaming of
And now all i want is just to love
Lust turned to love

That was when the fun was in
The capture and the kill
In another place and time
I did it all for thrills

Love me and i'll leave you
I told you at the start
I had no idea that you
Would tear my world apart

What you think of me is hard to tell
Double talkin' words that i can't spell
I don't want to read between your lies
Love comes easy when you close your eyes
You always run away with words
You're never seen once you've been heard

Chorus
I'm the only fool
That's as big a fool as you
Got the only heart
And it beats as hard as yours
I'm the only one you run to
The one you come to
The only one you can get to
I'm the only one-only one for you
Only one for you

There's no need to play this silly game
No one wins and nothing's ever gained
You'd think by now that maybe you would see
But you're as blind to love as you are to me
I'm all for one, you're one for all
I got the only number you should call

Chorus

Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well that's no surprise

Can you see them
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed

Careless talk
Through paper walls
We can't stop them
Only laugh at them

Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl

It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon
We must use
In our defense
Silence

When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when you'll be feared

Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies
