Poison Album

Remember the nights we sat and talked about all our dreams
Well little did we know then
They were more distant than they seemed
Well I knew it you knew it too
The things we'd go through
We knew the things we had to do to make it, baby.

CHORUS
You gotta cry tough
Out on the streets
To make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out
Out to the world
To make them all come true.

Life ain't no easy ride at least that's what I am told
Sometimes the rainbow baby is better than the pot of gold
You've got to stick it out whether you're wrong or right
And you can't give in without a fight to make it baby

CHORUS

You gotta aim high, baby
whether you lose or win
And when you get to the top
You gotta get off or go right back down again

CHORUS
CHORUS

I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night

I grab my hat and I grab my shoes
Tonight I'm gonna hit the streets and cruise
Down the main strip and check it out
With those schoolgirls a hangin' around

Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face
I don't care if she's in leather or lace
cause I'm just lookin' for a little kiss

CHORUS
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight

Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts
I can't wait to get my hands on them
I won't give up until they give in

Now I'm not lookin' for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I can't have her, I'll take her and make her

CHORUS

Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here
No, not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
Cause there's something back there I want to show ya

I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
Ah, come on honey, I wasn't that bad!
Ah, well

CHORUS
CHORUS

Late at night I close my eyes
And think of how things could have been
And when I look back
I remember some words you had said to me

It's better to have lost at love
Then never to have loved at all

CHORUS
I won't forget you baby
Even though I should
I won't forget you baby
Even though I should, yeah

Sometimes in my head
I can still see pictures of you
And I laugh to myself
When I think of all those crazy things that we used to do

Although miles come between us
Just between you and me

CHORUS

I should let you fade away
But that just wouldn't be me
Oh, baby

Although miles come between us
Just between you and me

I won't forget you baby
Memories slowly fade
I won't forget you baby
And all the plans we made

I won't forget you baby

The boys in the back room
Billy shooting pool
Trading dirty glances
with pretty boys playing cool

They're putting down their whiskey
Getting loaded tonight
It's gettin' kind of risky
They're lookin' to fight

If you want action
if you want a thrill
Then take it down to Jimmy's bar and grill

CHORUS
And play dirty
and dirty games too
Play dirty
like dirty boys do

Tattoo Willie's happenin'
He really makes a scene
He's got anything you like
If you know what I mean

Troubles up when the heat comes down
Cause down at Jimmy's
they don't mess around

CHORUS

Come on, man, let's take this right outside
Come on, sucker, hit it

The place is gettin' restless
There's trouble in the air
All hell's about to break loose
The dirty punks just don't care

If you want action, if you want a thrill
Then take it down to Jimmy's bar and grill

CHORUS
CHORUS

I went to bed too late and got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin' from too much booze
I got a foot in the gutter a foot in the grave
I ain't seen home in the last three days

CHORUS
Oh my god look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in

No tell, motel, hotel bed
If it wasn't for the sunlight I'd swear I was dead

I got a girl on the left of me
a girl on the right
I know damn well I slept with both last night

CHORUS

I'm late for work on Monday and my boss is bitchin'
Can't get out of bed cause my head's still spinnin'
My hair's in a rat's nest, I look like hell
Half alive or half dead, I just can't tell !!

CHORUS

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do

You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

CHORUS
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
Till I'm screaming for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

CHORUS

C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me

CHORUS
CHORUS

All my friends have someone
I need someone too
Someone to hold the whole night through

I need a lover
someone like you
Someone to make my dreams come true

Maybe if I close my eyes
Everything will be alright
Cause I don't wanna be alone
No more, baby

CHORUS
I want some
I need some
anybody, somebody
Someone custom built for me
I want some
I need some
Whole lotta lovin' satisfaction guaranteed

I wake in the morning
And wrap my arms around no one
But that no one could be someone meant for me

So I jump out of my bed
And throw my hands on my head
And scream I need a lover just for me

Maybe if I close my eyes
Everything will be alright
Cause I don't wanna be alone
I know that baby

CHORUS
CHORUS

She's got pizzazz
Like a razzmatazz
I'd like to slide it in
But where do I begin

Wastes all my money
Spends all my time
I ain't got no luck
Can't change her mind

CHORUS
Blame it on you
I can't stand up
Blame it on you
I'm keeping my mouth shut
Blame it on you
I can't see straight
Blame it on you
Uh-oh, too late

I want a little reaction
How 'bout a kiss or two?
She said, "Jump back honey,"
I said, "no can do."

Why do you always make a fool out of me?
I can't get no nookie
Just plain to see

Wastes all my money
Spends all my time
I ain't got no luck
Can't change her mind

CHORUS
Blame it on you
I can't get no sleep
Blame it on you
I'm in six feet deep
Blame it on you
well I guess it's true
Blame it on you
Yes, I do

I blame this whole damn mess, honey
right on you

Now listen little girl, let me explain
Why you got me in such a terrible way

FIRST VERSE
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

What you heard about me
Was probably right
I'm the boy next door
The one you were warned about
Oh yes, indeed

Well, I'm no upstanding citizen
but I'm standing up just the same

CHORUS
Number one bad boy
who's to blame
Number one bad boy
Ain't that a shame
Yeah, right

All my friends are two faced
And I'm a social disgrace
I got no morals
Don't belong in the rat race

Well, I'm no upstanding citizen
but I'm standing up just the same

Into a lonely world
Where I'm lost without a trace
Two faced
rat race
disgrace

Will I stand up on my own?
Will I fall on my face?

FIRST VERSE
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS

Mama, please let me go to the show
I dig those bad boys playing that rock and roll
No way, son, you can't go out tonight
So I got real upset, put up the biggest fight

CHORUS
Mama, let me go to the show
I dig those bad boys playing that rock and roll
Mama, let me go out tonight
Mama, please, before I lose my mind

Out the window
Shimmy down the tree
I take a look around
make sure no one's watching me
steal the keys and take
my old man's Chevrolet
I can hear my Mama scream
from ten miles away

CHORUS

Rock and roll rodeo
Rock and roll rodeo
