Cheap Trick Album

Well I saw you today and realized
How I missed my peace of mind
I feel your breath in my ear
But late at night it's you I always think about
That little girl inside of you I once knew
I should have known better
Still the smell of you was on my face
But you were too busy
To notice me last night

Now I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it
I can't make it alone
Oh no, oo, oh no

Then I tell myself I'll put you down
Don't wanna see your face around
Don't call me up anymore
When I hear your voice it's in my ear
You're kissin' on the phone
It makes it all come clear

Now I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it
I can't make it alone
Oh no, oh, oh no

I try to tell myself
Don't need you anymore
Don't want you hangin' around my door, oh no

Now I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
If it's wrong or right
I can't take it, I can't make it alone

You know how I tried
I can't take it, I can't make it alone
I try tell myself don't need you anymore
I can't take it alone, I can't make it alone
Oh baby, my pretty baby
I can't take it alone, I can't make it alone

Run out of money and runnin' out of luck
Run into problem I never, never thought of
It seems like I didn't run out of my dreams
But we've got each other and tonight we're gonna leave

To the borderline
Leave all our troubles behind
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles tonight

A broken promise is a broken dream
We've all had so many, too many for me
Impossible to have freedom when things aren't free
But we've got each other and tonight we're gonna leave

To the borderline
Leave all our troubles behind
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles and hide

To the borderline
Leave our troubles tonight
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles
Leavin' all our troubles
At the borderline

I wanna go, I wanna go
Oh I'll go anywhere
I wanna go, I wanna go away from here
Is all I really care

Runnin' away from the girl of my dreams
Runnin' away from a life of broken dreams

To the borderline
Leavin' all our troubles behind
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles tonight

To the borderline
Leave all our troubles behind
At the borderline
Forget all our troubles
Leavin' all our troubles
At the borderline

At the borderline

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
We had a special way of talkin'
Oh, a language all our own
We always knew the latest dances
But we liked old-fashioned love
Now something seems the matter

You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)
I don't want to love here anymore
(I don't want to love here anymore)
You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)

I don't have a lot of patience
When someone's lit my fuse
So don't you try to reason
Me, I don't want no excuse, no!

You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)
I don't want to love here anymore
(I don't want to love here anymore)
You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)

You (You)
Don't (don't)
Play (play)
By the rules
I (I)
won't (don't)
Love here anymore

You don't want to play by the rules
(You don't want to play by the rules)
'Cause I don't want to love here anymore
(I don't want to love here anymore)

People all over the world
They get up they get down
They get in they get out
They get pushed, they go back
Start all over again
Till they get to the end

I'm from a small town
Had a poor family
Mama was sick, Papa worked the factory
I led a rich life
Never had to work hard
House in the country
Horses in my backyard

Next position please
Do I have to get down on my knees
Next position please
I'm in a hurry, so hurry please

Read between the lines
Learn a new message
Read the latest book
It's a new twist
Be the first one to have a new ideal
You'll never get bored with mirrors on the ceiling

Next position please
Do I have to get down on my knees
Next position please
I'm in a hurry, so hurry please

People all over the world
They get up they get down
They get in they get out
They get pushed, they go back
Start all over again
Till they get to the end

I wanna move up within the company
I can do better with an opportunity
Why don't they use me instead of abuse me?
I'm ten out of ten, not some whore in some movie
I wanna be the biggest gun in the world
I wanna see the tits on every girl

Next position please
You have to get down on your knees
Next position please
I'm in a hurry, so hurry please

(Repeat to Coda)

Try to bend me, try to shake me
Try and turn my head around
Oh try to change me, rearrange me
I think you know about the boy you found
A fantasy like this is hit and run

Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls
Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls

I had a dream about girls like you
You said call us, you'll get two
One for your money, two for the show
I'll give you something more
I know,I know,I know,I know
It's hard enough to make you wanna cry

Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls
Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls

It's hard enough to make you wanna cry
And it drives me out of my mind
I'm in love with you, baby
My poor innocent baby
Don't you say maybe

Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls
Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls

Feels so good, let me in
I might jump right out of my skin
Don't you ever grow up little girl
Sweet young thing, not so innocent

Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls
Younger girls
Oh how I love those younger girls

(Repeat to Coda)

Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
So you want to believe
Everything that you read
And you think that you're makin' the grade
(And) just when you're getting it made
You're still in love with her
She'd love you to kiss her
Hopin' you'll miss her
By takin' your mind off the load
Just when you're ready to go
You turn your back on her
You just got your mind on the things ahead
At last you're gonna be free
You'll only miss her
Just after you kiss her
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
So you turn on the smiles
'Cause you think of the time
And nobody knows who you are
You don't think you'll get very far
I don't even know your name
At last they accept you
In case you go next year
And ask you to reach for the sky
And just when you're ready to die
They turn their back on you
So they put you on ice
In Survival Hotel
And wish you would die from the cold
When all you want is a night alone
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing, and the song you sing
Dancing, every move you make
Dancing, makes my body go
Dancing, right across the floor
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
You talk too much
You talk too much
You talk too much to me

Dear father, don't mother me
Dear mother, don't bother me
If I ever needed your advice, oh
I would have called you on the telephone
I've been wrong maybe once or twice
And that's when I was listenin' to you

You talk too much
You talk too much
You talk too much to me

Dear preacher, you won't reach me
Dear teacher, don't preach to me
If I ever needed your advice, oh
I would have called you on the telephone
I've only been wrong maybe once or twice
And that's when I was listenin' to you

Oh, shut up!

You talk too much
You talk too much
You talk too much, oh yeah

Look at me, I appear in the night
Look at me, I'm made up of lights
Look at me, I am really a sight
A sight to behold
To hold with your eyes
Look at me, I can move like you
Look at me, I can zoom in on you
Look at me, I can...and scream
I can make you laugh, I can make you scream
3-D, the more you look
The more you'll see
3-D, the more you
The closer I'll see you
Look at me, I'm out of control
Look at me
You can look down my throat
Look at me, but can't out just me
I'm mind, I'm matter on the video screen
Look at me, ooh, the reds and greens
Look at me, all the colors so real

Look at me, I'll make you laugh
And I'll make you scream
I'm mind, I'm matter on the video screen
3-D, the more you look
The more you'll see
3-D, the more you
The closer I'll see you
I like what I see
I feel good about me
You'll like what you see
You'll like what you see you'll like what you see you'll like what you see you'll like what you see
Well it's in 3-D
3-D, the more you look
The more you'll see
3-D, the more you look
The more you'll see
3-D, the more you look
The more you'll see
3-D, the more you look
The closer I'll see you

You say jump, I said how high
You say no, I don't ask why
You treat me like a fool, like you do
Kick me when I'm down and out
Out with you I wish I was
Instead I'm sittin' all alone tonight, well

You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time

You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight
You call me or I'll call you
Just as long as we get through
I'll do anything for you tonight

Second verse
All dressed up no place to go
I say yes and you say no
What's goin' on
I really want to know
You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time

You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight
You call me or I'll call you
Just as long as we get through
I'll do anything for you tonight

I've loved you from the start
You only broke my heart
I think I'm losing my mind
I've felt this way for years
I'm the one who really cares
Don't leave me here on my own
You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight

I've loved you from the start
You only broke my heart
I'm sittin' all alone tonight

Kick me when I'm down and out
Out with you I wish I was
Instead I'm sittin' here on my own
You've got a one track mind
Wish you could just read mine
I hope you will in time

You say jump, I said how high
Love you but I don't know why
Don't say no, not tonight

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever
Oh why can't I
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever

First thing you know
Is what you're looking for
Next thing you know is where you find it
You can't explain the pain
Of feelin' so alone
So I won't even try to tell you, no

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever
Oh why can't I
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever

Some days it hurts so bad
Can't take it anymore
Those days and nights
They last forever
Some ways of feelin' good don't feel good anymore
They only mask your real feelings
Why, oh why, why, oh why

Halfway up, halfway down
Won't you turn my luck around
Halfway here, halfway there
Say the words and I'll be there

Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever
Oh why can't I
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why can't I
Be in love forever

Be in love forever
Be in love forever
Be in love forever

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
Hey wait a minute
You're a little lost
Things keep on changing
And so does the cost
Of doin' business with yourself
Don't want nobody else, no

I won't take no for an answer
I won't take no from you
I won't take no for an answer
I won't take no, no, no, no

Hey mister sister
Leave me alone
Today kids don't grow up
They just grow alone
Guess you know how bad I felt
When you were with somebody else, oh

I won't take no for an answer
I won't take no from you
I won't take no for an answer
I won't take no, no, no, no

Hey
You
Hey, hey you

I won't take no for an answer
I won't take no from you
I won't take no for an answer
I won't no
I won't no for an answer

I won't no (for an answer)

(Repeat to Coda)

I will believe
What I want to believe
Nobody needs
To do my thinkin' for me
I know the score, I'm always out of line
It's as if I was born in the wrong place in time
And nobody understands just what's in my mind
But when I face the light
Somehow it all seems right
(Don't) You know it feels like
Heaven's falling
Down on me
And I can hear the
Angels calling
Calling me
Speak your mind
You know you've got the right
You're not afraid
You're goin' with me tonight
Everybody stops, they whisper and stare
Cause we're not afraid to do
The things they wouldn't dare
But they will never know
The little secrets we share
And when you squeeze my hand
I know you understand
(Don't) You know it feels like
Heaven's falling
Down on me
And I can hear the
Angels calling
Calling me
In a world only for lovers and fools
Schemers and dreamers
Who don't follow the rules
We gotta run
Our legs are still young
We gotta run
Until our heaven comes
And when we face the light
Somehow it all seems right
(Don't) You know it feels like
Heaven's falling
Down on me
And I can hear the
Angels calling
Calling me
(Don't) You know it feels like
Heaven's falling
Down on me
And I can hear the
Angels calling
Calling me
Heaven's falling, down on me
Angels calling, calling me

(It's rolling)
(Oh, wrong song)
(It's rolling)

Invaders of the heart
Are messin' with my mind
Invaders of the heart
Can make your heart blind
Invaders of the heart
Are drivin' me insane
Invaders of the heart
Are playin' with my brain

I can't see anymore
Now I've gotten tunnel vision
I can't be anyone
I just got no direction
I can't see anything
But I don't need glasses on
I can't think anymore
I'm just a nervous wreck

Invaders of the heart
Are messin' with my mind
Invaders of the heart
Can make your heart blind
Invaders of the heart
Are drivin' me insane
Invaders of the heart
Are playin' with my brain

I can't see anymore
Always buckle under pressure
I can't be anyone
The slightest thing will set me off
I can't feel anything
I'm on pins and I'm on needles
I can't think anymore
I've lost my appetite

Invaders of the heart
Are messin' with my mind
Invaders of the heart
Can make your heart blind
Invaders of the heart
Are drivin' me insane
Invaders of the heart
Are playin' with my brain

Invaders of the heart
Are messin' with my mind
Invaders of the heart
Can make your heart blind
Invaders of the heart
Are playin' with my brain
Invaders of the heart
Are drivin' me insane
Are messin' with my mind
Make your heart blind
Invaders of the heart

(One more time!)
(Okay, choice of lousy endings now.)

Give me passion, I'll make it good
I'm not crazy, just misunderstood
And I wanna be caught with you
Oh yeah
I've been framed all my life
Didn't do it, I'm no enemy
Now I wanna be blamed with you
Oh no

Don't you make our love a crime
Please don't make our love a crime
If you do we'll all regret it in time
So don't you make our love a crime

You murdered just a part of me
I'm still alive and breathin' free
I wanna be punished with you
I know what you're goin' through
You gave me a fatal bite
I wanna spend my time with you, you, you

Don't you make our love a crime
Please don't make our love a crime
If you do we'll all regret it in time
So don't you make our love a crime

I know what you're goin' through
It's happened to me once before
And I know what you're gonna do
I wanna spend some time with you
It's stronger than it was before
And I've saved it up for you, you, you

Don't you make our love a crime
So please don't make our love a crime
If you do we'll all regret it in time
So don't you make our love a crime
A crime, no
