[Verse 1]
We got somethin', we both know it
We don't talk too much about it
Ain't no real big secret all the same
Somehow we get around it
[Pre-Chorus]
Listen, it don't really matter to me, baby
You believe what you want to believe
[Chorus]
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
[Verse 2]
Somewhere, somehow, somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there
And revel in your abandon
[Pre-Chorus]
Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
[Chorus]
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No baby, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
[Bridge]
Baby, we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now this seems real to you
But it's one of those things
You got to feel to be true
[Verse 3]
Somewhere, somehow, somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped
Tied up, taken away, and held for ransom
[Pre-Chorus]
Honey, it don't really matter to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
[Chorus]
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
[Verse 1]
You know sometimes, I don't know why
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus
But when she puts her arms around me
I can somehow rise above it
Yeah, man, when I got that little girl standin' right by my side
You know, I can tell the whole wide world to shove it, hey!
[Chorus]
Here comes my girl
Here comes my girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight
[Verse 2]
Every now and then I get down to the end of the day
I have to stop and ask myself why I've done it
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard
And nothin' ever really seems to come from it
And then she looks me in the eye and says, "We're gonna last forever"
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, 'cause it just feels so good, and so free, and so right
I know we ain't never gonna change our minds about it, hey!
[Chorus]
Here comes my girl
Here comes my girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight
[Bridge]
Watch her walk
[Verse 3]
Every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more
I find myself having to reach out and grab hold of something
Yeah, I just catch myself wondering, waiting, and worrying
About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'
And then she looks me in the eye and says, "We're gonna last forever"
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, 'cause it just feels so good, and so free, and so right
I know we ain't never gonna change our minds about it, hey!
[Chorus]
Here comes my girl
Here comes my girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight
[Outro]
That's right
That's right
Oh!
[Intro: Marcie Campbell]
It's just the normal noises in here!
[Verse 1]
Well, it was nearly summer, we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes, and we stared at the moon
And I showed you stars you never could see
It couldn't have been that easy to forget about me
Baby, time meant nothing, anything seemed real
Yeah, you could kiss like fire, and you made me feel
Like every word you said was meant to be
But it couldn't been that easy to forget about me
[Chorus]
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Even the losers
Keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Two cars park on the overpass
Rocks hit the water like broken glass
I shoulda known right then it was too good to last
God, it's such a drag when you're living in the past
[Chorus]
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Even the losers
Keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Even the losers
Keep a little bit of pride
Yeah, they get lucky sometimes
[Outro]
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Oh, oh!
Oh!
Even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
Baby, even the losers
Get lucky sometimes
[Verse 1]
There goes my baby
There goes my only one
I think she loves me
But she don't want to let on
[Chorus 1]
Yeah, she likes to keep me guessing
She's got me on the fence
With that little bit of mystery
She's a complex kid
And she's always been so hard to figure out
Yeah, she always like to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
Oh!
[Verse 2]
Sometimes at night, I
Wait around 'til she gets out
She don't like working
She says she hates her boss
[Chorus 2]
But she's got me asking questions
She's got me on defense
With that little certain something
She's a complex kid
And she's always been so hard to get around
Yeah, she always likes to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
[Bridge]
Just a shadow of a doubt
She seldom keeps me running
I'm trying to figure out
If she's leading up to something
Oh!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
And when she's dreaming
Sometimes she sings in French
But in the morning
She don't remember it
[Chorus 3]
But she's got me thinking about it
Yeah, she's got me on the edge
With that little bit of mystery
She's a complex kid
And she's always been so hard to live without
Yeah, she always like to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
[Outro]
Well, a shadow of a doubt
A shadow of a doubt
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I want to leave you
Sometimes I want to go
Right back where I came from
Back where I belong
But it never lasts for too long
Always goes away
Well, I still don't look for reasons
That's much too hard these days
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why worry about the rain?
Why worry about the thunder?
Honey, Century City's got everything covered
[Verse 2]
Well your mama gave you loving
Mama held you near
Baby, Mama can't do nothing
Honey, Mama just ain't here
And you can pretend all you want to
But that won't work no more
No, you can't run back to Daddy
Yeah, you tried that once before
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Why worry about your father?
Why worry about your mother?
Honey Century City's got everything covered
[Chorus]
We're going to live in
(Century City)
Go ahead and give in
(Century City)
Like modern men, modern girls
We're going to live in the modern world
Whoa!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
We're going to live in
(Century City)
Go ahead and give in
(Century City)
Like modern men, modern girls
We're going to live in the modern world
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I get discouraged
Sometimes I feel so down
Sometimes I get so worried
But I don't know what about
But it works out in the long run
Always goes away
And I've come now to accept it
As a reoccurring phase
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Don't worry about the rain
Don't worry about the thunder
Honey, Century City's got everything covered
[Outro]
We're going to live in
(Century City)
We're going to live in
(Century City)
We're going to live in
(Century City)
We're going to li
[Verse 1]
I was talking with a friend of mine
Said a woman had hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so, and
Turned around and let him go
Then he said, "You better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size"
[Chorus]
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you, baby?
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Someday I might need you, baby
Don't do me like that
[Verse 2]
Listen, honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Giving someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size
[Chorus]
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you, baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I need you, baby?
Don't do me like that
[Bridge]
'Cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying
"Love doesn't last that long"
I got this feeling inside
Night and day
And now I can't take it no more
[Verse 2]
Listen, honey, can you see?
Baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye
Giving someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size
[Chorus]
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
What if I love you, baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
I just might need you, honey
Don't do me like that
Wait!
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Baby, baby, baby
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't do me like that
Don't do me like that
Baby, baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh!
[Verse 1]
Baby, I heard thunder
I woke up, middle of the night
Baby, I saw fire
I went left, I went right
[Chorus]
So you tell me what you want me to do
This might be over, honey, it ain't through
Let me know when you're finished with me
What you want me to be
Baby, you tell me
Honey, you tell me
[Verse 2]
Baby I don't understand this
But that's all right, I can take a little pain
I've been winning and losing
Baby, I've been in and out of the rain
[Chorus]
So you tell me what you want me to do
This might be over, honey, it ain't through
Let me know when you're finished with me
What you want me to be
Baby, you tell me
Honey, you tell me
[Bridge]
Well you put me through your paces and your twists
Until I felt like dying, I, I
Yeah, the last thing that I needed
Was to finally realize that you were lying, I, I
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
So you tell me what you want me to do
This might be over, honey, it ain't through
Let me know when you're finished with me
What you want me to be
Baby, you tell me
Honey, you tell me
[Outro]
Baby, you tell me
Will you tell me?
Oh!
[Verse 1]
Well, you followed me all around New York City
Trying to make people think I wanted you with me
I can only hope that they didn't believe you
I can't figure out why I got to deal with you
[Chorus]
What are you doing in my life?
What are you doing in my life?
What are you doing in my life?
I didn't ask for you
[Verse 2]
I don't know how you got my telephone number
Probably some jerk trying to put me under
Some friend of a friend of a friend of mine
Baby, who you trying to fool when you tell those lies?
[Chorus]
What are you doing in my life?
What are you doing in my life?
What are you doing in my life?
I didn't ask for you
[Bridge]
Well, this is all a little too much to believe
You're putting my name all around in the street
Honey, where did you think this was going to lead?
Baby, will you tell me what you want from me?
[Guitar Solo]
Oh!
[Bridge]
Well, this is all a little too much to believe
You're putting my name all around in the street
Honey, where did you think this was going to lead?
Baby, will you tell me what you want from me?
[Verse 3]
Well, you're the last woman in the world that thrills me
Now you got my girlfriend trying to kill me
Honey, my friends think that I've gone crazy
Can't you figure out that you ain't my baby?
[Chorus]
What are you doing in my life?
What are you doing in my life?
What are you doing in my life?
I didn't ask for you
[Verse 1]
Well, it was out in California by the San Diego sea
That was when I was taken in, and it left its mark on me
Yeah, she nearly drove me crazy with all those China toys
And I know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys
[Chorus 1]
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby, I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
[Verse 2]
South Carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street
And I still can't quite remember who helped me to my feet
Thank God for the longneck bottle the angel's remedy
[Chorus 2]
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
[Guitar Solo]
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
Well, I never will get over this English refugee
Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery
Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips at old black Molly B
[Chorus 1]
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
[Chorus 2]
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
