Альбом Cheap Trick

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
Going to write a three act play
So I can be with you
Produce, direct, and also act
But who will I cast as you?

I'm gonna find her, I'm gonna find her
It won't be easy but I don't care
I'll go to London, New York or Hollywood
I'll search the world for a girl

I want you
I don't want nobody else
I want you
I should have known it all along
I want you
Just tell me when and where
I want you
Why don't you just give me a call?

She went West so religiously
She took a vow
Not to return until she learned
What to do and how

I'm gonna find her, I'm gonna find her
It won't be easy but I don't care
I'll go to London, New York or Hollywood
I'll search the world for a girl
Exactly like you
Uh huh, I'd rather have you, oh yeah

I want you
I don't want nobody else
I want you
I should have known it all along

I want you
Right now, I need you right now
I want you
Oh come on little girl
I want you
Just tell me where and when
I want you
Why don't you just give me a call?

I want you
I don't want nobody else
I want you
I should have known it all along
I want you
Just tell me when and where
I want you
Why don't you just give me a call?
I want you, I want you, you you you

(Repeat to Coda)

Words and Music by Rick Nielsen
Reputation is a fragile thing
Fame and money don't mean much to me
Oh, don't go change to prove the point
It doesn't matter, oh no

We've had our problems and we've had our fun
Did a lot of livin' on the run
Oh don't go cover up the truth
Cause we're together, oh yeah

One on one, one on one
It's you and me against the world
It's one on one

Head is spinning and your mouth is dry
Happiness you couldn't find or buy
Oh, ever want something so bad you could taste it?

Made the deadline and you passed the test
Sabotage seems safer than success
Put it off until tomorrow
I've hear it all before

But it's one on one, one on one
It's you and me against the world
It's one on one

I need some time to think the whole thing over
You say you want to save the world alone
I want to taste and test the waters with you
It's not so easy when you're on your own

Don't lie to me is all I ask of you
No excuses I just want the truth
Reputation is a fragile thing
I know you know it, well it's
One on one, one on one
It's you and me against the world
It's one on one

One on one, one on one
It's you and me against the world
It's one on one

(Repeat to Coda)

Ah. ___
Ah. ___

If you want my love you got it.
When you need my love you got it.
I won't hide it.
I won't throw your love away, oo.

If you want my love you got it.
When you need my love you got it.
I won't hide it.
I won't throw your love away, oo.

Yes, I thought you were a mystery girl,
A special girl in this crazy old world.
You couldn't see me when I laid eyes on you.

'Cause lonely is only a place.
You don't know what it's like...
You can't fight it.
It's a hole in my heart, in my heart.

If you want my love you got it.
When you need my love you got it.
I won't hide it.
I won't throw your love away, oo.

You hold the secrets of love in this world.
I'm hypnotized by your ev'ry word.
A special face, a special voice,
A special smile in my life.

'Cause lonely is only a place.
You don't know what it's like...
You can't fight it.
It's a hole in my heart, in my heart.

If you want my love you got it.
When you need my love you got it.
I won't hide it.
I won't throw your love away, ooh.

If you want my love you got it.
When you need my love you got it.
I won't hide it.
I won't throw your love away, ooh.

If you want my love you got it.
When you need my love you got it.
You won't hide it.
You won't throw your love away, ooh.

Oo la la la, oh oo la la la
Oo la la la, oh oo la la la
Oo la la la, oh oo la la la
Oo la la la, oh oo la la la

I gave you just about the best years of my life
I might be lax on my views of the world
I can't explain the politics of your affairs
But there is one thing that I know and say each day

Oo la la la, oh oo la la la
Oo la la la, oh oo la la la

Life ain't so easy
I know you've heard it all before
When you stop movin'
There's always something more
Closed up in front of you
And closin' up in back
Don't you stop givin' up
When now you should attack, attack

Oo la la la, oh oo la la la
Oo la la la, oh oo la la la

Don't have a clue to know what's going on
You say you need some time to live alone
Tell me you're sorry so you say
I don't believe a single word you say

Oo la la la, oh oo la la la
Oo la la la, oh oo la la la
Oo la la la, oh oo la la la
Oo la la la, oh oo la la la

I'm lookin' out for number one, yeah
I'm lookin' out for number one
Work and slave, sometimes succeed
I'm lookin' out for number one

I got hot but never got burned
Well all I know is she should have learned
Get too close you'll fall right in
You should have known, you can't do that now

I see what's goin' on
I've known it all along
I've seen what's goin' on

I'm lookin' out for number one, yeah
I'm lookin' out for number one
Work and slave, sometimes succeed
I'm lookin' out for number one

When I'm hot she says she's not
Don't get too close, she's over the top
Think by now, well, I would have learned
She's all talk, I really got burned now

I see what's goin' on
I've known it all along
I've seen what's goin' on
I'm lookin' out for number one, yeah
I'm lookin' out for number one
Work and slave, sometimes succeed
I'm lookin' out for number one

I'm lookin' out for number one, yeah
I'm lookin' out for number one
Work and slave, sometimes succeed
I'm lookin' out for number one, yeah, oh yeah

(Repeat to Coda)

When I'm down I make a call.
Got the number written on the wall.
First it's busy then I try again.
Oh, who's she talking to, could it be him?

I got the number and it starts to ring.
I get excited and I start to dream.
I start to fantasize of memory lane.
Then she answers and she says right way.
She says I'm home on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.

(She's tight.) She's ahead of her time.
(She's tight.) She's one of a kind.
(She's tight.) She's a talented girl.
(She's tight.) She's got her head down tight.

I have something got to say to you.
Amnesia and my train of thought.
On the tip, tip of my tongue.
I had a vision when I was young.

You floated in, we floated up.
Through the window and down the hall.
I had a smoke and went upstairs.
Turned the door and opened the key. She spoke...
I'm on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.

(She's tight.) She's ahead of her time.
(She's tight.) She's one of a kind.
(She's tight.) She's a talented girl.
(She's tight.) She's got her head down tight.

(She's tight.) She's giving me the go.
(She's tight.) She's giving me the high sign.
(She's tight.) We'll turn off the lights.
(She's tight.) Pull down the shades.
(She's nice, she's tight.) Turn on the cam'ra.
(She's nice, she's tight.) And getting ready for action.

Turn off the radio.
Turn on the video.

Time is runnin' out of control, ooh
Help all my dreams come true
Time is runnin' out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true

Here comes the night
Gone are the days yeah
When we could just sit here and talk for hours
Didn't have much to say

Time is runnin' out of control, ooh
Help my dreams come true
Time is runnin' out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true

Now everything seems so serious
We all had our fun in the sun
We all wanna take too much out of life
Fooling ourselves in the long run

Time is runnin' out of control, ooh
Help my dreams come true
Time is runnin' out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true

Tryin' to beat the clock
It never stops tickin' the time away
Tryin' to beat the clock it
Never stops, never stops night or day

Time is runnin' out of control, ooh
And my dreams come true
Time is runnin' out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true

Saturday at midnight
See you at the red light
Don't wanna be alone
Saturday at midnight

I can't wait for a call
It's just not my style
Been alone too long
But in a little while
When night closes in
And lights are gettin' bright
Makes it all worthwhile
Makes it all worthwhile tonight

Saturday at midnight
See you at the red light (bad scene, man)
Don't wanna be alone
Saturday at midnight

I work hard every day
Every day of my life
My reward is to make a better life
'Cause I live for the weekend
And what I wanna do
Is search for that someone
So my dreams come true

Saturday at midnight
See you at the red light (bad scene, man)
Don't wanna be alone
Saturday at midnight

There's a lot of things
That seem to go round
Like the world and the love and the fun
There's a lot of things
That seem to go round
But the girls and the love I get none

Saturday at midnight (I don't want to go home)
Saturday at midnight
I can't wait for a call
It's just not my style
Been alone too long
But in a little while
When night closes in
And lights are gettin' bright
Makes it all worthwhile
Makes it all worthwhile tonight

Saturday at midnight (Ha, ha, ha)
See you at the red light (bad scene, man)
Don't wanna be alone

(Repeat to Coda)

Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me

You're not the first one
You're not the last one
You're not even the in between
You've got the power, this is your hour
You crawl through Harlem
On your hands and knees
It's not the way you look
The way you walk and the color of your hair
It's not the way you look
The way you talk and the color of your hair

Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me

Well there is something I feel about you
A feelin' that just won't let go
Well in an hour, you have the power
The power of love over me
It's not the way you look
The way you walk and the color of your hair (no)
It's not the way you look
The way you talk and the color of your hair

Then you threw it away, you threw it all away
As you walked right out the door
You threw it away, you threw it all away
As you walked right out the door

Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me

It's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on me

Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me
Your love has got me
It's got a hold on me, a hold on me

I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man

I don't like living inside
This metal plastic shell
It's no way to treat your help
They'll tell you go to hell

I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man

Faster master
I've got better things which I can do
Hey I don't like livin' in this fleshy human shell
As much as I abuse it, it's really gone to hell

I want be man
I want be man
I want be man
I want be man

I'd rather be a robot
So I don't have to think
'Cause then I could be programmed
Where I don't have to dream
I'd rather be a man
Instead of a machine
Flesh and blood life and death
It's a mystery
Nothing to be programmed
Nothing is for sure
And least there's a reason
A reason for my life
I want be man
You want be me

I wanna live in your body (hey)

(Repeat to Coda)

I got a one track mind
I got a twisted heart
I need a lesson in love
I'm right on time
For tonight's the night
I need your love
Ooh yeah

Caught in the act
Had no alibi, no reason why
To let you down, oh
Stabbed in the back
Though it hurt I let you go
Will you take me back, oh
What was right went wrong, oh
It's alright to put the blame on me
For after all blame it
on my last affair
It's alright, it takes
two to make it love
'Cause love can be just a
four letter word
A four letter word

I got a one track mind
I got a twisted heart
I need a lesson in love
I'm right on time
For tonight's the night
I need your love

Day turns to night
I was wrong and you were right
I feel like Mr. Hyde not Dr. J
Sometimes I'm not myself
I must be somebody else
To jeopardize your love
What went wrong was right, oh
It's alright to put the blame on me
For after all blame it
on my last affair
It's alright, it takes
two to make it love
'Cause love can be just a
four letter word

I got a one track mind
I got a twisted heart
I need a lesson in love
