Альбом Bowling For Soup

We grew up in the suburbs
Got guitars from Christmas
And started a punk rock band

Then we travelled the nation
Became a sensation
In our '82 Dodge van

Now we're getting older
And much more sober
And we've got big house payments to make

The wife wants a handbag
The kids need some college
And we just need one hit single to break

Get ready here it comes...

This song sounds like a dance song
Cuz dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hit

And now the label is so stoked
They don't get the damn joke
The downloads are off the charts

Like those bands on the TV
In the frilly tuxedos (neato)
The ones that break the young girls' hearts

And now we can too...

This song sounds like a dance song
Cuz dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
I can't wait to hear the remix

This song sounds like a dance song
Cuz dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hit

Who the hell are we fooling?
This isn't really what we do (really what we do)
We had to borrow this keyboard
We only listen to Motley Crue (listen to Motley Crue)
But it's gonna be funny
Cuz this song will be number one (one)

This song sounds like a dance song
Cuz dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya!

This song sounds like a dance song
Cuz dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
I can't wait to hear the remix

This song sounds like a dance song
Cuz dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hit

It's our new sound
We're gonna take it to the next level
Wait, the drum's just dropped out
The drum- it sound- it doesn't sound good anymore
It's- I can't find the rhythm... of the deal...
Na it's cool. No it's not....

Alright we're back!
We are dancing, this is us and we are dancing
Dancing, dancing, dancing and we're dancing, dancing, dancing
Woo!

My teacher asked me where my homework was
And that's when I told her

And grabs my collar

Her name is Wena.
Hey, have you seen-a?
Everyone says she's amazing.
She gets so jealous,
She sticks her head up
When I'm checkin' out the ladies.
And she needs so much attention
She's always hangin' around.

My Wena is lonely tonight.
(My Wena)
She cries when I turn out the light
(My Wena)
She's only happy when I'm holdin' her tight
Oh, My Wena.
Take a look at my Wena.

My little Wena,
Queen of the scene
And all the girls wanna be around her
Her skin is so soft,
I can't keep my hands off
Ever since the day I found her.
And she'll make your heart beat faster
With the wink of an eye.

My Wena is lonely tonight.
(My Wena)
She cries when I turn out the light
(My Wena)
She's only happy when I'm holdin' her tight
Oh, My Wena.
Have you seen my Wena?
Get a load o' my…

Sometimes she can't sleep at night
And I wake up and she's just a-lookin' at me
And she snuggles up tight when it's cold outside
She likes to show off when we're walkin' the beach
And she's always up for goin' extra innings
She's a sucker for a happy ending.
And we may not always agree,
But she's always here with me.

My Wena is lonely tonight.
She cries when I turn out the light
She's only happy when I'm holdin' her tight
My Wena.
(Take a look at my Wena).

My Wena is lonely tonight.
(My wonderful Wena)
She cries when I turn out the light
(She wants to get between ya)
She's only happy when I'm holdin' her tight
Oh, My Wena.
My wonderful Wena

Nothin' to do, but sit around and make a mess with you
Watchin' the world from your rooftop lookin' down
We never cared summer come and we ain't goin' anywhere
No goodbyes

[Chorus]
We're only young, runnin' wild
Only young,get it right
We've got all the time and the world tonight
We're only young, you and I
Only young, get it right
We're right here, the best time of our lives
Let's go out in frames, tomorrow is just a million miles away
We have tonight, so let's tear this town apart
We'll never change, we'll party like it's graduation day
No goodbyes
We'll stay right here, laugh 'till we cry

[Chorus]
We're only young, runnin' wild
Only young,get it right
We've got all the time and the world tonight
We're only young, you and I
Only young, get it right
We're right here, the best time of our lives

(Tonight, tonight)
We'll make some history
(Tonight, tonight)
We'll burn some memories
(Tonight, tonight)
Legends never die
(Tonight, tonight)
It's like a movie
(Tonight, tonight)
The way you should be
(Tonight, tonight)
All we've got is time

We're only young and we don't care
If we get old and loose our hair
Right now, the best night of our lives

[Chorus]
We're only young, runnin' wild
Only young,get it right
We've got all the time and the world tonight
We're only young, you and I
Only young, get it right
We're right here, the best time of our lives

Only young [x6]
(The best time of our lives)

You know I only want what's best for you
And I hope you do well in everything that you do
And it's a funny thing but now that you're gone
I don't wish you were dead anymore

I hope you're doing fine
I hope you've found the time
To chase that dream
I wanna see you shine
You were always on my mind
And my heart's on my sleeve
D'you know what I mean?

You know I only want what's best for you
And I hope you do well in everything that you do
And it's a funny thing but now that you're gone
I don't wish you were dead anymore

Remember hanging out?
There was never any doubt
You were on my side
No use living in the past
Shoulda known it wouldn't last
Nothing good ever does
But that's alright

You know I only want what's best for you
And I hope you do well in everything that you do
And it's a funny thing but now that you're gone
I don't wish you were dead anymore

I think of all the times we had
And when you left me I was lost, girl I missed you so bad
I was out of my mind for sure
No matter what I said I don't wish you were dead anymore

I hope you're not alone
I hope you've found a home
That you can live in
Me I'm doing good
In the old neighbourhood
So please don't come back
Never come back
You know I only want what's best for you
And I hope you do well in everything that you do
And it's a funny thing but now that you're gone
I don't wish you were dead anymore
I don't wish you were dead anymore
I don't wish, that you were dead anymore

You are my best friend in the world.
And I hope that you know,
when we hangout together,
it's freakin' awesome.

Playing poker Friday night,
Pyromancing off golf cart races
You think that my sister's hot
I accidentally shot your finger
off your writing hand oh well,
you get disability.
I broke my leg you laughed so hard
and told my ambulance to stop at the bar.


You'll tell the world I'm gay when you hear me say
that I really and truly feel this way
not that there's anything wrong with being gay

And sometimes we punch each other in the face
like when I hit on your mom and got to second base
I'm trying to say I love you in a heterosexual way.

You fart and burp in the same key,
and I think your iPod sucks.
You make fun of my hair because yours is.. disappearing.

I've seen your penis you've seen mine
I popped your pimples you
rubbed aloe vera on my sun burnt back

you went in fits when I shit my pants
you felt my girls' brand new boobs
you asked to suck them she refused
so while you slept I shaved your head
you woke up and told me that I...

You'll tell the world I'm gay when you hear me say
that I really and truly feel this way
not that there's anything wrong with being gay

And sometimes we punch each other in the face
like when I hit on your mom and got to second base
I know you know I love you (I fringin love you dude)
I'm trying to say I love you in a heterosexual way.

You'll tell the world I'm gay when you hear me say
that I really and truly feel this way
not that there's anything wrong with being gay

And sometimes we punch each other in the face
like when I hit on your mom and got to second base
I'm trying to say I love you in a heterosexual way.

I'm not lost I just haven't found
Everything I need
I'm not torn I'm just getting it together
I'm not broken don't you mind
The pieces of me
You see scattered on the ground
I swear I'll turn this thing around
I'm not home but I'm sitting
Here in my room
I'm a photograph in need of a zoom
I feel far away
I can't make out the face
It's all blurred since you went away

When you took your keys out
You took a little piece of me

I'm a circle incomplete
I'm a heart that barely beats
All the memories stay forever as tattoos
I'm a star without a sky
I'm hello with no goodbye
I'm the dreams we had that never will come true
That's me with no you

Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

I'm a mark, I'm a martyr
I'm a victim, I'm a jerk
I'm an engine that just doesn't seem to start
I'm a kingdom with no king
I'm a king without a crown
So I fall down on my knees
And I pray nobody sees

You got my attention
Now please come back to me (come back to me)

I'm a circle incomplete
I'm a heart that barely beats
All the memories stay forever as tattoos
I'm a star without a sky
I'm hello with no goodbye
I'm the dreams we had that never will come true
That's me with no you

Can't find the words to fit the melody
But I swear that I could sing it
When you were here with me
I'm all over the place on a scale of 1-10
I'm a C, that's me

I'm not lost I just haven't found
Everything I need
I'm not torn I'm just getting it together

I'm a circle incomplete
I'm a heart that barely beats
All the memories stay forever as tattoos
I'm a star without a sky
I'm hello with no goodbye
I'm the dreams we had that never will come true
That's me with no you

Na na na na na na na na na na na (that's me with no you)
Na na na na na na na na na na na (that's me with no you)
Na na na na na na na na na na na (that's me with no you)
Na na na na na na na na na na na (that's me with no you)

I was lost and down
Before you turned my life around
I never knew a love like this could happen
And they said I was too young
But when I turned 21
You gave me hope that's everlasting

Now everything is going my way
The sun's shining all around me
Bells are ringing and the birds are singing now
I wanna tell the whole world

Hooray For Beer!
I'm really glad you're here
Let's make this moment last
You feel so right
Wanna be with you all night
Shout it out
Hooray For Beer!

And sometimes when I wake
You seem like a mistake
My stomach's turning circles, my head is pounding
But at 5 o'clock
You say it's time to rock
And I can't resist, I gotta be around you

Now everything is hunky dory
The stars are shining all around me
There's a happy ending to my story now
I wanna tell the whole world

Hooray For Beer!
I'm really glad you're here
Let's make this moment last
You feel so right
Wanna be with you all night
Shout it out
Hooray For Beer!

I could hold you in my hands forever
Or at least until you're gone
And then I'll order another one

Now everything is going my way
The sun's shining all around me
Bells are ringing and the birds are singing now
I wanna tell the whole world

Hooray For Beer!
I'm really glad you're here
Let's make this moment last
You feel so right
Wanna be with you all night
Shout it out
Hooray!
Hip hip hooray!
Hooray For Beer!

America a beautiful girl
A gift to the world from outside of town
A train wreck with unbelievable skin
Hey, where have you been we haven't seen you around

You know you don't have to be so mean
We hear it loud and clear when you say
That you don't give a whoop whoop

America she bullies at school
Her parents were cool
But now she's out on her own
Happiness as long as she's right and she's quick to fight
Yeah she's looking kinda rough

She says just recognize recognize

Cause She don't give a whoop whoop
She don't give a whoop whoop
She don't give a.

She don't give a whoop whoop
She don't give a whoop whoop
She don't give a.

Wake up America don't wanna fight anymore (Wake up America)
Wake up America don't wanna fight anymore (Wake up America)
Now pick yourself off the floor

America she lost all her friends
The fun never ends until you buy your own beer
Rehab so bitter and wired
So used up and tired hey your looking pretty rough

She says just recognize recognize

Cause She don't give a whoop whoop
She don't give a whoop whoop
She don't give a.

She don't give a whoop whoop
She don't give a whoop whoop
She don't give a.

Wake up America don't wanna fight anymore (Wake up America)
Wake up America don't wanna fight anymore (Wake up America)
Now pick yourself off the floor

Wake up Amy your alarm clocks beeping
Wake up Amy your alarm clocks on
Wake up Amy your alarm clocks beeping
Waking up the neighbors it goes on and on

Wake up Amy your alarm clocks beeping
Wake up Amy your alarm clocks on
Wake up Amy your alarm clocks beeping
Waking up the neighbors it goes on and on and on

Wake up America don't wanna fight anymore (Wake up America)
Wake up America don't wanna fight anymore (Wake up America)
Now pick yourself off the floor

Wake up America don't wanna fight anymore (Wake up America)

Now pick yourself off the floor

"Hey, umm, got your machine. How's it going? Umm... I was just calling to see if you, ummm... see if you... actually I don't even know why I called you, I'm not even drunk. Just rambling."

If only you were here
If only I could see your eyes
If only I were with you, if only I could kiss you
If only I had just one night to make this right, oh whoa
I would turn this thing around
I'm sad and lonely, drunk and tired of beating myself to a pulp
And I'm not giving up

"I swear I'm not a stalker, I... maybe.... your machine cut me off on the last one cuz I guess I talk to long, which it will do, and I will do as well. Just, know you're great, y'know?"

If only you were here
If only I could see your eyes
If only I were with you, if only I could kiss you
If only I had just one night to make this right, oh whoa
I would turn this thing around
I'm sad and lonely, drunk and tired of beating myself to a pulp
And I'm not giving up

Somehow we fell off track and got off the path we had been in
I bet you thought that I had dried up and blown away
But I'm on a comeback with a fury
And I'm gonna right myself a note
I'm on a mission and I thought that you should know

"You're probably wondering who this is. I just called to apologise. It seems I've been dialling the wrong number."

If only you were here
If only I could see your eyes
If only I were with you, if only I could kiss you
If only I had just one night to make this right, oh whoa
I would turn this thing around
I'm sad and lonely, drunk and tired of beating myself to a pulp
And I'm not giving up

"Hi, could I just get a small cheese and one of those dessert things that you guys do?"

"Check one. That sounds good. Bowling for Soup. 2009 and everything is just fine"

Waves hit rocks some folks get wet
I was gonna say something but now I forget
Chocolate covered cherries with the milk on the side
I'll meet you at the party if I find a ride
Elbows like to move and birds like to test
Elvis or the Beatles, who cares who's the best? (Beatles)
Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina
Peanut butter sandwich with some Aunt Jemima

And if you were me
You'd probably see
What I'm talking about

Talk is cheap but I can't afford it
And counting sheep don't work anymore
My head is turning circles but I gotchoo, I gotchoo
The coast is clear, the view is distorted
Lots to do and I'm always bored
There's nothing in my wallet but I gotchoo, I gotchoo

Credit or debit with your supermarket basket
Bring your own tote, no paper no plastic
In the sun or the rain always bring an umbrella
Get a lollipop from the pretty bank teller
Go kart race with a '57 Chevy
Carry my weight but I'm getting kinda heavy
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy was he? Was he?

And if you were me
You'd probably see
What I'm talking about

Talk is cheap but I can't afford it
And counting sheep don't work anymore
My head is turning circles but I gotchoo, I gotchoo
The coast is clear, the view is distorted
Lots to do and I'm always bored
There's nothing in my wallet but I gotchoo, I gotchoo

Sometimes you gotta run and put your foot on the pedal
Other times you gotta stay and bring the metal
Doesn't matter to me cuz I gotchoo, I gotchoo

Talk is cheap but I can't afford it (talk is cheap)
And counting sheep don't work anymore (counting sheep don't work)
My head is turning circles but I gotchoo, I gotchoo (my head's a mess but I gotchoo)
The coast is clear, the view is distorted (coast is clear)
Lots to do and I'm always bored (always bored)
There's nothing in my wallet but I gotchoo, I gotchoo (I gotchoo)

S-s-s-saw you in December.
I can't believe that summer got here so fast.
I hardly can remember,
Crawling through the dust cloud after the blast.
T-t-t-trippin' over land mines.
F-fallin' over words when I see your face.
Oh yeah, you took your sweet time,
Breakin' down the walls, blowing me away.

L-l-l-l-love is like a hurricane.
L-l-l-l-love is like a car crash,
And I just can't look away.
L-l-l-l-love is like a time bomb.
4, 3, 2, 1...
Every time you walk in the room,
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.

You t-t-told me that you loved me,
And suddenly the sky fell to the ground.
I'm sh-sh-sh-shakin' like an earthquake, honey.
You got my whole world turned upside-down,

And I never could imagine,
And I don't want to pretend.
I just know that I don't want this to end.

L-l-l-l-love is like a hurricane.
L-l-l-l-love is like a car crash,
And I just can't look away.
L-l-l-l-love is like a time bomb.
4, 3, 2, 1...
Every time you walk in the room,
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.

Love goes boom,
And I don't know what to do.
I swear I'm explodin',
Every time I look at you,

And I never could imagine,
And I don't want to pretend.
I just know that I don't want this to end.

L-l-l-l-love is like a time bomb.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom.
Love goes boom. (Saw you in last December)
Love goes boom. (I don't think you'll ever remember)
Love goes boom. (Saw you in last December)
Love goes boom. (I don't think you'll ever remember)

Well I love New York like everyone,
And I go to Las Vegas to chill.
I like Denver, Colorado, 'cause it's so laid back,
And Chicago keeps it real.
Well I only leave Dallas when I have to,
But when I do, I like Tulsa OK,
And I ain't got nothing against California,
But I can't stand L.A.

Well Orlando, Florida, it's humid, but it's swell,
Austin and Nashville both freakin' rock, (Yes they do!)
And New Orleans is evil, but it's part of the appeal.
You can gamble, drink, and swear until you drop. (Handbag!)
The state of Ohio's been great to our band,
Along with Philly and Green Bay. (I like cheese)
I got nothin' but love for Hollywood,
But I can't stand L.A.

I like Salt Lake City,
Portland, Frisco, Sante Fe,
Indianapolis, Hartford too,
Boise, Memphis, Sioux Falls,
And of course, KC,
Along with Pittsburgh and Kalamazoo. (We've never been there!)
Atlanta is a home away from home,
And heres a shout out to Sauget. (We should take a moment to explain where Sauget is.)
Oh yeah, it's St. Louis.
And I wish my friends would leave that place,
'Cause I can't stand L.A.

Traffic sucks. No protected lefts. (Yeah, but road rage is so cool.)
Snooty fucks. Pollution fills the air. (Can I (???) smoke outside)
Gang fights. Seven dollar beer, (That fucking sucks!)
And the threat of breaking off into the sea.

And now to give Los Angeles the benefit of the doubt... (What?)

Jimmy Kimmel, In-N-Out, and great sushi,
And diversity everywhere.
Really hot chicks, wearing next to nothing,
And the Santa Monica pier.

Thank you for hair metal,
And the '84 Olympics,
And for BFS radio play.
Well, and please don't take this personally.
No I'm happy to visit, but I'm happier to leave,
And I guess what it is I'm trying to say is,
I can't stand L.A.

I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be extraordinary
I'm just your everyday average white guy
On the radio

Whoa-oh-oh

I just wanna be loved
Like the English people love their spliffs and curry
Like a kid loves money from the tooth fairy
Like Tubaka loves Han Solo

Why can't you see
That I'm only
Everything you want?
How come you give
Just enough to
Keep me hangin' on?

I don't care what you say,
You're gonna love me someday!
I don't mean to talk so tough,
I just wanna be loved,

Loved, loved, loved, loved,
I just wanna be loved,
Loved, loved, loved, loved,

I don't know how to surf,
But I'm really really good at karaoke
Maybe I'm not just an average white guy
Except down there,
In case you care that life's not fair

Why can't you see
That I'm only
Everything you want?
How come you give
Just enough to
Keep me hangin' on?

I don't care what you say,
You're gonna love me someday!
I don't mean to talk so tough,
I just wanna be loved,

Loved, loved, loved, loved,
I just wanna be loved,
Loved, loved, loved, loved,

Cause you like shiny things,
Like diamond rings,
Sushi and Hybrid cars
Poker chips and Lyso dips
And getting thrown out of bars

I don't care what you say,
You're gonna love me someday!
I don't mean to talk so tough,
I wanna be loved,

You like chocolate ice cream
But you hate your mother!
Can't you see that
You and me were
Made for one another?
I'm your biggest fan
You understand there'll
Never be no other
You're the best girl, that's for sure

I don't care what you say,
I just wanna be loved,
And I don't mean to talk so tough
I just wanna be loved,
I don't care what you say,
I just wanna be loved
And I don't mean to talk so tough
I just wanna be loved,

L- (ugh damn it)

She bumped her head on the doorway
Ducking out before he even knew she was gone
She slipped and fell on the porch
Step and stepped in some dog shit on the front lawn

How in the hell did she get here
She wondered as her uncharged phone hit the wall
And what the hell did he look like
She asked herself but did really matter at all

If she could call a cab this wouldn't be so bad
What ever happened to pay phones
She'll never drink again she's gonna kill her friends
If she could just find her way home

Whatever gets you through the night
Somebody to love, somebody to find
And when did the good times get so bad and mornings so bright
Now your stuck in the rain and your tired of the games
When you've got no one to blame on the walk of shame

He stuck his head out of the doorway
And only saw the maid cart there in the hall
Ten floors down on the elevator smelling like sex and alcohol
What the hell was I thinking or drinking
I wonder where I parked my car and what is every body staring at
I should have never left my pants at the bar

Whatever gets you through the night
Somebody to love, somebody to find
And when did the good times get so bad and mornings so bright
Now your stuck in the rain and your tired of the games
When you've got no one to blame on the walk of shame

Shame shame shame everybody know your name
Shame shame shame everybody know your name
Shame shame shame everybody know your name
Shame shame shame everybody know your name

Whatever gets you through the night
Somebody to love, somebody to find
And when did the good times get so bad and mornings so bright

Whatever gets you through the night
Somebody to love, somebody to find
And when did the good times get so bad and mornings so bright
Now your stuck in the rain and your tired of the games
When you've got no one to blame on the walk of shame

Shame shame shame everybody know your name
Shame shame shame everybody know your name
Shame shame shame everybody know your name
