1.There She Goes Again

(m. crenshaw)

From my window nearly everyday
I see that girl go down the highway
And i think she's trying to catch my eye
Standing alone i see her drive on by
There she goes again with another guy
She was my girl not too long ago
How i lost her i'm not sure i know
But it makes no difference how i try
I get that feeling when she drives on by
There she goes again with another guy
It's a sad situation
But i know just what i ought to do
I'm gonna find someone better
Go have fun little girl i can live without you
I'll be stronger when she's off my mind
I hope she finds what she's been tryin' to find
And as life goes on and time goes by
Will her heart ever be satisfied
There she goes again with another guy


2.Someday, Someway

(m. crenshaw)

I can't stand to see you sad
I can't bear to hear you cry
If you can't tell me what you need
All i can do is wonder why
Someday, someway aww
Someday, someway, yeah now
Someday, someway
Maybe i'll understand you
After all you've done for me
All i really want to do
Is take the love you brought my way
And give it all right back to you
Someday, someway
Someday, someway yeah yeah
Someday, someway
Maybe you'll understand me
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
I'll love you for my whole life through
Now after all you've done for me
All i really want to do
Is take the love you brought my way
And give it all right back to you
Someday, someway aww
Someday, someway, yeah now
Someday, someway maybe you'll understand me
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
I'll love you for my whole life through
I can't stand to see you sad
I can't bear to hear you cry
If you can't tell me what you need
All i can do is wonder why

3.Girls...

(m. crenshaw)

Girls girls girls
When i'm walking downtown on a summer's day, yeah
Girls girls girls
All my troubles seem 10 thousand miles away
I fall in love from my head to my feet
When i'm watchin' all those girls walkin' down the street
The feelin' goes to my head like red wine
You know i feel fine 'cause all i ever have in mind is
Girls girls girls
And anytime i turn on my tv
Girls girls girls
Are all that i really care to see yeah yeah yeah
You know i don't want to be impolite
But i need someone to hold beside me tonight
And make the feeling come on like red wine
You know i feel fine
You girls are driving me wild (yeah)
And i said wild (yeah)
Oh girls girls girls


4.I'll Do Anything

(m. crenshaw)

I gotta send a message
Gotta send it to your heart from mine
I even wrote you a letter
I know there's no real harm in trying
I'll play the fool resignedly
If it's what i have to do
'cause you mean a lot to me
I'll do anything for you
You took a chance on something
You took a chance and now you'll see
It's gotta fall on someone
What's gotta be is gonna be
But let's not talk about it
We've got better things to do
Unless you want to talk about it
I'll do anything for you yeah


5.Rockin' Around In N.y.c.

(m. crenshaw)

Whenever idleness is making me insane
Then i feel i should be getting the train on the double
Here comes trouble
I hit the city and my head is a-reelin'
I get the feelin' that it was really was worth going after
We're tastin' disaster
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Through seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We'll go rockin' around in nyc
Whenever ennui is takin' me way down
Then i feel i should be gettin' to town on the double
Here comes trouble
I hit the city and i'm feelin' the thunder
No need to wonder if it was really worth going after
We're tastin' disaster
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Through seventeen lights in a row
Take a hold of my hand and come with me
We'll go rockin' around in nyc


6.The Usual Thing

(m. crenshaw)

Chorus:
Don't want to know about the usual thing
I never bother with the usual thing
And i only wanna shout wanna shout wanna feel alive
Do whatever i wanna do
Just forget about the usual thing
I never bother with the usual thing
And if i didn't think you were a little bit out there too
I just wouldn't bother with you
I just wouldn't bother with you
I wanna take you with me
I'll do most anything that you want to
When we go out together
We must run wild but first i'm warning you
Chorus
I wanna give you somethin'
I just don't want to lose my energy
That's why i keep on trying
To only be true to what's inside of me
Chorus (x2)


7.She Can't Dance

(cioffi/todd/crenshaw)

Well now baby's gone out of control
Body and soul
She got to cut loose living only for the sound
Of the baddest sounds around
And baby's spent all of her dough
On countin' on clothes
Every look every fashion that comes on strong
Baby just wants to belong
She can't dance
She can't sing
But she's got to be part of that pop music thing
Well now baby's only trying to lose
All of her blues
Down in her heart 'cause she's only seventeen
And she means to cause a scene
She can't dance, she can't sing
She can't dance, she can't sing
But she's got to part of that bang bang head bang music
She moves to the radio
Every night and day i can hear her say
'let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go'
Well let's go now!
She can't dance, she can't sing
She can't dance, she can't sing
But she's got to part of that bang bang head bang music
She moves to the radio
Every night and day i can hear her say
'let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go'
Well now baby's gone out of control
Body and soul
She got to cut loose living only for the sound
Of the baddest sounds around
She can't dance
She can't sing
But she's got to be part of that pop music thing
Right here in new york!
She can't dance (she can't dance)
She can't sing (she can't sing)
(rock bop, rhythm and blues)


8.Cynical Girl

(m. crenshaw)

Well i'm goin' out
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
Who's got no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Well i hate tv
There's gotta be somebody other than me
Who's ready to write it off immediately
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Well i'll know right away by the look in her eye
She harbors no illusions and she's worldly-wise
And i'll know when i give her a listen that she
She's what i've been missin'
What i've been missin'
I'll be lost in love
And havin' some fun with my cynical girl
Who'll have no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Well i'm goin' out
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
Who's got no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Yeah i'll know right away by the look in her eye
She harbors no illusions and she's worldly-wise
And i'll know when i give her a listen that she
She's what i've been missin'
What i've been missin'
I'll be lost in love
And havin' some fun with my cynical girl
Who'll have no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl


9.Mary Anne

(m. crenshaw)

It isn't such a crime
It isn't such a shame
It happens all the time
You shouldn't take the blame
Go on and have a laugh
Go have a laugh on me
Go on and have a laugh
At all your misery
Mary anne, mary anne (don't cry mary anne)
I really wanna tell you mary anne, mary anne
I'm thinking of you
Mary anne, mary anne (don't cry mary anne)
I really wanna tell you mary anne, mary anne, mary anne
You take a look around
And all you seem to see
Is bringing you down
As down as you can be
Go on and have a laugh
Go have a laugh on me
Go on and have a laugh
At how bad it can be
Mary anne, mary anne (you'll be all right)
I really wanna tell you mary anne, mary anne
I'm thinking of you
Mary anne, mary anne (you'll be all right)
I really wanna tell you mary anne, mary anne, mary anne
Mary anne, mary anne (goodnight mary anne)
I really wanna tell you mary anne, mary anne

Lay down your arms (soldier of love)
And surrender to me (sha la la)

(m. crenshaw)

I see you standin' helpless
Afraid to face a little sadness
If i follow your direction

That it's just not for me

That it's just not for me


12.Brand New Lover

(m. crenshaw)

I'm feelin' dazed and dissipated
I only know one thing for sure
Gotta find me a brand new lover
There isn't any other cure

All my lowdown lonely feelings
Have been working overtime somehow
Gotta find me a brand new lover
I know it better be right now
Right now, right now, right now now, right now

I've got to make some changes
Before the walls close in
I tell you what i'm gonna do
When the night comes down babe i'm lookin' for you

I need some consolation
Baby come and take my hand
Gotta find me a brand new lover
I'm achin' more than i can stand

All my lowdown lonely feelings
Have been working overtime somehow
Gotta find me a brand new lover
I know it better be right now
Right now, right now, right now now, right now

I've got to make some changes
Before the walls close in
I tell you what i'm gonna do
When the night comes down babe i'm lookin' for you

I'm dazed and dissipated
I only know one thing for sure
Gotta find me a brand new lover
There isn't any other cure
