Whenever We Wanted

John Mellencamp Whenever We Wanted Lyrics
1.Again Tonight

Run in circles again tonight
Hump the moon again tonight
Gonna wear my dancin?shoes out tonight
Gonna have myself a big time again tonight

Chorus:
Again tonight
Again tonight
Again tonight

Girl got lightning
Underneath her skirt
Boys try to touch it
For whatever it worth
In the morning
She just gonna be hurt
She wonders is it worth it again tonight

Chorus:
Again tonight
Again tonight
Again tonight

Gonna catch the cloud tonight
Nine, cloud nine
Gonna try and catch that cloud tonight
Nine, cloud nine
Again tonight

Can you hold me baby again, again tonight
Can you sing
Can you dance baby
Can you sing
Can you hold me again tonight
Baby can you sing

Get ego trip again tonight
Tell the same lies they work all right
Gonna wear my dancin?shoes out tonight
Probably make a fool of myself again tonight

Chorus:
Again tonight
Again tonight
Again tonight

Again tonight
Again tonight
Again tonight


2.Crazy Ones

She got tights on her legs
She got a floppy french hat
Voodoo in her eyes
And endangered species on her back

She talks about the movies
She likes to talk about art
She can show you a good time
But youl never touch her heart

Chorus:
Mama why do i always fall for the crazy ones
Mama why do they lay so heavy on my heart
Well i drawn to the devil everytime we kiss
Mama why do the crazy ones leave me feeling like this

She got backstage access
And she dancin?in the aisles
She looks a little sad and crooked
When you see her smile

She got the magic heart
She says you cannot understand
She got a secret hurt
She ain gonna share with no man

Chorus:
Mama why do i always fall for the crazy ones
Mama why do they lay so heavy on my heart
Well i drawn to the devil everytime we kiss
Mama why do the crazy ones leave me feeling like this

She got her mind on her business
She never wants to be broke
Well, i hate to see her suffer
But she just does not get the joke

I can afford her style of living
I can afford to get so mad
Everytime i think about her
It just makes me sad

Chorus:
Mama why do i always fall for the crazy ones
Mama why do they lay so heavy on my heart
Well i drawn to the devil everytime we kiss
Mama why do the crazy ones leave me feeling like this

Mama why do i always fall for the crazy ones
Mama why do they lay so heavy on my heart
Well i drawn to the devil everytime we kiss
Mama why do the crazy ones leave me feeling like this


3.Get A Leg Up

Don look at me don touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead
Don get no funny ideas about we
Or youl wish you were dead
That what i am thinking she must be thinking
The girl i spent 53 bucks on last night
She give me a look from the corner of her eye
That says, 'boy, keep acting right'
How surprised was i
When she leaned over and whispered in my ear

Chorus:
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
What the matter
Are you shy, shy, shy?

I pretty good with first impressions
But sometimes i not always right
I pulled the car to the shoulder of the road
To see what she had in mind
Want me to spend the night
Hey lover boy you know i will
And my best girlfriend lives down the road
Together we will thrill ya
And i thinking to myself
I could be lucky pierre tonight

Chorus:
If i could get a leg up
If i could get a leg over boy
You know i ain that handsome
But you know i ain shy, shy, shy

The rest of the night we went on and on
And the moral to this song
Don go making hasty judgements
Because sometimes they could be wrong
Nothing wrong with a good time
Just keep yourself protected make a list
And you can bet your life that the women don know
The little girls are acting like this
So the next time a young one moves up
And she whispers in your ear

Chorus:
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
What the matter
Now don you be shy, shy, shy?

Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
What the matter
Now don you be shy, shy, shy?


4.I Ain Ever Satisfied

I love the things that scare most folks to death
But i ain ever satisfied
Il stay till the end or till i gasping for breath
But i ain ever satisfied
No, i am never satisfied

I can pretty much come and go as i like
But i ain ever satisfied
Hey, with no bottom line it hard to know wrong from right
But i ain ever satisfied
Il try anything once but than i do it to death
But i ain ever satisfied
I expect the worse but i hope for the best
Oh, i ain ever satisfied
No, i am never satisfied
No, no, no, no, i am never satisfied

Cant get enough, no, of nothing

Ie got seven of everything and more in the till
But i ain ever satisfied
You think it dangerous stuff
It ain even a thrill
I ain ever satisfied
Oh, i am never
No, i am never
I don know why i ain ever satisfied


5.Last Chance

A cold day in december
And i still here alone
I look trough my window and i surrender
Should be gone
But i have no place to go

Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go

Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go

If there were someone
I hold her
If there was love
I let it take me away
But i just stay here alone

Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go

Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go

I feel nothing i feel no pain
I feel no joy nor hurt inside
I only have myself to blame
If i see that the world passed me by

Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go

Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go


6.Love And Happiness

Well wee dropping our bombs
In the southern hemisphere
And people are starving
That live right here
And theye tearing down walls
In the name of peace
And theye killing each other
In the middle east

Chorus:
But love and happiness
Have forgotten our names
And there no value left
In love and happiness

They raise the price of oil
And they censor our mouths
If you are a young couple today
Forget buying a house
And we wage our wars
In the neighbourhoods
We kill the young to feed the old
And men that ain no good

Chorus:
Yeah, but love and happiness
Have forgotten our names
And there no value left
In love and happiness

So if you sell arms
Or if you run dope
You got respect
And you got hope
But the rest of us die
On your battle fields
With wounds that fester and bleed
But never heal

Chorus:
Yeah love and happiness
Have forgotten our names
And there no value left
In love and happiness

And love and happiness
Yeah love and happiness
Have forgotten our names
And there no value left
In love and happiness


7.Melting Pot

I met my girl
She was living in the melting pot
I touched her skin
It was greasy from the melting pot
Get yourself a weapon
Cause they slice you up in the melting pot
Well, i don really have time to talk
But i wish you lots of luck in the melting pot

Chorus:
And in the end it always just some game
The heartbreak and laughter has all been in vain
Beat up and lied to
For your whole life
Kick you in the head
In the melting pot

The hewks live upstairs
Where the air is clean in the melting pot
They like to swoop down
And gnaw an your brain in the melting pot
Money, sex and power
Jerk you off in the backseat of the melting pot
Then they say i saw you last night
And you sure were looking sweet in the melting pot

Chorus:
And in the end it always just some game
The heartbreak and laughter has all been in vain
Beat up and lied to
For your whole life
Kick you in the head
In the melting pot

They like to buy you off
If they possibly can in the melting pot
With temptation, dreams and persuasion
That what they got in the melting pot
Keep you bleeding, begging and snotty here
In the melting pot
Well, don you dare laughting out loud
Theyl take away what you got
In the melting pot

Chorus:
And in the end it always just some game
The heartbreak and laughter has all been in vain
Beat up and lied to
For your whole life
Kick you in the head
In the melting pot


8.Now More Than Ever

If you believe
Won you please raise your hands
Let hear your voices
Let us know where you stand
Don shout from the shadows
Cause it won mean a dammn
Now more than ever

Chorus:
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can stand alone
Now more than ever

If i was to buy you
A diamond ring
Make you my princess
Would it mean anything
Would you take me for granted
And just curse my name
Now more than ever

Chorus:
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can stand alone
Now more than ever

Who am i to say
What needs to be done
I am just nobody
Another lost one
Caught between what left
And what needs to be done
Now more than ever
The loss of love
The loss of our dreams
It not too late

Chorus:
Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can stand alone
Now more than ever

Now more than ever
The world needs love
Not just a slogan
But the world needs love
Now more than ever
I can stand alone
Now more than ever


9.Theye So Tough

Theye so tough
They like to make us feel little
They like to meke us feel small
They like to put us down
ill we feel no good at all

Then they tell us that wee stupid
That we got no sense at all
Theyl take away the spark
Keep us in the dark
Make us feel we have no vision at all

Chorus:
No, no, no, i don believe it has to be this way
No, i don believe it has to be this way

Then they tell us to be patient
That our time will come
But ie stood outside their doors
And walk their floors
And i ain gonna do it again

They like to make me their nigger
I say to hell with them
I not getting down on my knees
And begging please
Can you throw me a crumb now and then

Chorus:
No, no, no, i don believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, i don believe it has to be this way

I can really speak to you
And i don know about them
They must be out of their minds
Can read between the lines
They can stick it where the sun don shine

Chorus:
No, no, no, i don believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, i don believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, i don believe it has to be this way

Theye so tough

They are so tough


10.Whenever We Wanted

We weren afraid of nothing
Wasn nothing we couldn do
She held her breath once for seven minutes
And never turned blue

She could burn a woman down
If she felt she been unkind
Or if she thought she was coming on to me
It drove her out of her mind

Chorus:
Oh yeah, it true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to

She was my very best friend
My biggest enemy
On judgement day we could go either way
It was all the same you see

She was not afraid of satan
In fact she thought he was a joke
Said she tear off his tail
And run her fist down his throat

Chorus:
Oh yeah, it true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to

She was the apple of temptation
The apple of my eye
Used to rest on a bed of burning coats
Every single night

And i know she out there somewhere
She wrestling in the bones
With confetti in her hair
You can bet she not alone

Chorus:
Oh yeah, it true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
Yeah, it true
We just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to

Yeah, it true
We just did what we did
Did what we did
Did what we did
Hell, we just did what we did
Whenever we wanted to
