Standing On The Edge

Cheap Trick Standing On The Edge Lyrics
1.Little Sister

Lyrics:Rick Nielsen
Music:Rick Nielsen

Well I've been around here
For way too long
It's really time to go
But there's reasons for my madness
Though it doesn't show
I sit and wait and contemplate
What am I gonna say
When the telephone rings
I hear her voice
Speaks that special way
All right now, little sister
We've all night for the job
She's all right with me
She's so hot, she's on fire
Ooh little sister
Fills me up with desire
Ooh little sister
Sun goes down when she gets up
I don't think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister (little sister)
Something's flowing through my veins
What it is I don't know
It's a three alarm fire in my heart
Hope it doesn't show
Call the doctor, call the judge
Justice of the peace
Pluck this flower in full bloom
This relative's no niece
All right now, little sister
We've all night for the job
She's all right with me
She's so hot, she's on fire
Ooh little sister
Fills me up with desire
Ooh little sister
Sun goes down when she gets up
I don't think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister (little sister)
I'm at the crossroads
Waiting for a call
Back against the wall again
But I'm not just expecting anyone
When I get your call
That says it all
She says yes
(...I'll be right over)
She's so hot, she's on fire
Ooh little sister
Fills me up with desire
Ooh little sister
Sun goes down when she gets up
I don't think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister (little sister)
(Repeat and fade)


2.Tonight It's You

Written:Rick Nielsen/Robin Zander/Jon Brandt/M.Radice

Time's not sleeping
And time won't lose
You can't win
'Cause time can't lose
So stop what you're doin'
Start on something new
Don't, don't be hypnotized
Don't start thinkin' with your eyes
I don't know
Why you mean that much to me
You don't know
What it feels like lovin' you
We all know
A chnge is good for you
That's all right
Gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway
All I want is a place in your heart
To fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you
Time's not sleeping
And time won't lose
You can't win
'Cause time can't lose
So stop what you're doin'
Start on something new
Don't, don't be hypnotized
Don't start thinkin' with your eyes
I don't know
Why you mean that much to me
You don't know
What it feels like lovin' you
We all know
A change is good for you
That's all right
Gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway
All I want is a place in your heart
To fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you
Come to my world
Come away with me
Smile with your eyes
So I can see
I don't know
Why you mean that much to me
You don't know
What it feels like lovin' you
We all know
A change is good for you
That's all right
Gotta do what you gotta do
Anyway
All I want is a place in your heart
To fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you
Tonight it's you
All I want is a place in your heart
To fall into
All I need is someone to love
And tonight it's you, tonight it's you
Tonight it's you, tonight it's you


3.She's Got Motion

Lyrics:Rick Nielsen/M.Radice
Music:Rick Nielsen/M.Radice

Met a girl, she said to me
What is it you wanna see
See the world with a different view
Trip around the world with you
See it all, special view
Over, under, sideways, through
Took a chance, some romance
It was good for me was it good for you
She's got motion, motion in motion
A love potion (for me)
Yeah, she's got it (I like it a lot)
She's got motion, motion in motion
(She likes it hot)
Then I touched her on the spot
On the trigger, the girl was hot
She said 'Don't. Stop.
Don't stop, don't stop'
She's got motion, motion in motion
A love potion (for me)
Yeah, she's got it (I like it a lot)
She's got motion, motion in motion
(She likes it hot)
So hot, so hot
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
It was good, no, it was great
It was wonderful, bravo congratulations go out to her
My feet never touched the ground
She's got motion, motion in motion
A love potion (for me)
Yeah, she's got it (I like it a lot)
She's got motion, motion in motion
(She likes it hot)
(Repeat and fade with ad lib)


4.Love Comes

Written:Robin Zander/Rick Nielsen

Love comes round just in time
Somthing that's hard to find
Oh no one knows
What I've been goin' through
Same old song, how does it go
Same old line, is it all we know
And love comes round
In time to rescue me
Oh love, love comes around
Just in time
Love comes to save my heart
Oh love, love comes around
Love comes to save my heart
Love comes round just in time
Somthing that's hard to find
Oh kiss me now
You know I want you to
Oh love, love comes around
Just in time
Love comes to save my heart
Oh love, love comes around
Yes it does
Love comes to save my heart
Sometimes it slips on in slowly
Sometimes it makes itself lowly
Under the cover of darkness
Sometimes it feels oh so heartless
Oh love, love comes around
Save my heart
Love comes around, love comes around
Love comes around, yes it does
Love comes to save my heart
Oh love, love comes around
Love comes to save my heart
Love comes around.....


5.How About You

Written:Robin Zander/Rick Nielsen/M.Radice

Never started out first
Never finished last
Like a change of pace
Like a change of fads
And I'm ready to try
Just can't sit around here too long
I feel the wheels are spinning strong
Does anyone feel the same as me
Does anyone disagree
Well how 'bout you
I said goodbye to laughter
I was fed up
I know I'll be back
To blow off the side (face) of the earth (?)
Wanna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you
Do you like your love soft and warm
Do you like it hard, hard to know
Like you're ready to die
Sometimes I feel all wound up
Head starts spinnin' it'll never stop
Does anyone feel the same as me
Does anyone disagree
Well how 'bout you
I said sad times need some goodbyes
I want changes but
I know I'll be back
To blow off the side (face) of the earth (?)
Wanna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you
I know I'll be back
To blow off the side (face) of the earth (?)
Wanna turn it all around
How 'bout you, how 'bout me, how 'bout you
How 'bout me, how 'bout you


6.Standing On The Edge

In the middle of the night
I had a vision
It was bigger than life
Standing on the edge of my bed
She said 'Come here, don't be afraid'
Her tongue opened like a shot
Oh bang bang
Ten feet tall, laser eyes
Killer body, killer thighs
She drew me a fine line
What's wrong what's right
I didn't know what to think
She seemed to know what to drink
I was stunned by her gun
Couldn't walk, couldn't run
Well she drew me a picture
And it seemed so true
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Right here in my face
I had a vision
That was bigger than life
Oh Connie likes nighttime, every night
Connie likes candy, every bite
All day sucker, Connie might
Swallow that thing 'cause she does it right
I'm weak in the knees
I'm beggin' you please
Just ask for more
She just wants affection
My soldier's at attention
No I don't know
Why you're doin this to me
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
She's lookin' right through my eyes
Love is passin' by
Right before my eyes
And I'm wondering why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Well she told me
In the Biblical sense
And she told me
In the strictest confidence
She told me
We were worlds apart
She told me, she told me
I don't know why I'm here
She said, 'Don't be afraid'
Standing on the edge
And watching my life flash by
Standing on the edge
You're lookin' right through my eyes
Standing on the edge
Light flashes before my eyes
Standing on the edge
And watchin' my world crash by
Love is passing by
Right before my eyes
And I wonder why
What's the reason
That I'm standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
I'm standing on the edge
(Repeat and fade)


7.This Time Around

Written:Rick Nielsen/Robin Zander/B.Brandt/M.Radice

Never look back but now never lose sight
Of your past, oh no
Change every moment knowing your decisions
They just won't last, oh no

Well it's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long are the nights
It feels right turning this time around

Always the danger of falling into
A mindless shell, oh yeah
Come out of your shell don't fall into a trap
You can't get out (can't get out, can't get out)

Well it's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long cold nights
It feels like turning this time around

When it hurts that bad
You know my temperature rises
It never goes down
It's goin' up
Straight up

When it hurts that bad
You know my temperature rises
It never goes down
It's goin' up
Straight up, straight up

Gone are the days
Long are the nights
It feels right turning this time around, oh yeah

It's different this time around
I won't look back 'cause I found
That gone are the days
Long are nights
It feels right turning this time around

(Repeat to Coda)
