instrumental chug intro

intro verse

I call you when I need you, 

my heart's on fire

You come to me, come to me, 

wild and wired

Ooh, you come to me, 

give me everything I need

verse

Give me a lifetime of promises 

and a world of dreams

Speak the language of love

 like you know what it means

pre-chorus

Mm, and it can't be wrong

Take my heart and make it strong, baby

chorus

You're simply the best

Better than all the rest

Better than anyone

Anyone I ever met

I'm stuck on your heart

I hang on every word you say

Tear us apart? No, no

Baby, I would rather be dead

verse 2

In your heart I see the start 

of every night and every day

In your eyes, I get lost,

 I get washed away

pre-chorus

Just as long as I'm here in your arms

I could be in no better place

chorus

You're simply the best

Better than all the rest

Better than anyone

Anyone I ever met

Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart

I hang on every word you say

Oh, tear us apart? No, no

Baby, I would rather be dead

bridge

Each time you leave me, I start losing control

You're walking away with my heart and my soul

I can feel you even when I'm alone

Oh, baby, don't let go 

key change! 

sax solo

chorus

Oh, you're the best

Better than all the rest

Better than anyone

Anyone I ever met

Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart

I hang on every word you say

Oh, tear us apart? No, no

Baby, I would rather be dead

You're the best

instrumental intro

verse 1

I want you to know that I'm happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me, 

is she perverted like me?

Would she go down on you in a theatre?

Does she speak eloquently?

And would she have your baby?

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

pre-chorus

'Cause the love that you gave that we made

Wasn't able to make it enough 

for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me

You'd hold me until you died?

'Til you died

But you're still alive

chorus

And I'm here 

to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair 

to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you 

oughta know

verse 2

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, 

I thought you should know

Did you forget about me, 

Mr. Duplicity?

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face 

how quickly I was replaced

And are you thinkin' of me

when you fuck her?

pre-chorus

'Cause the love that you gave that we made

Wasn't able to make it enough 

for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me

You'd hold me until you died? 

'Til you died

But you're still alive

chorus

And I'm here 

to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair 

to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you 

oughta know

trippy instrumental break 

pre-chorus

'Cause the joke that you laid

 in the bed that was me

And I'm not gonna fade 

as soon as you close your eyes

And you know it

And every time I scratch my nails

Down someone else's back 

I hope you feel it

Well, can you feel it?

double chorus

Well, I'm here 

to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair 

to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you 

oughta know

Why I'm here 

to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair 

to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you 

oughta know

Her name is Noelle

Listen to Iron Maiden, baby,

Her boyfriend’s a dick

Man, I feel like mold

It’s prom night and I am lonely

Lo and behold

She’s walkin’ over to me

This must be fake

My lip starts to shake

And why does she give a damn about me?

I’ve got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby

Come with me Friday, don’t say maybe

I’m just a teenage dirtbag, baby, like you

Oh, yeah, dirtbag

No, she doesn’t know what she’s missin’

verse

She was a fast machine, 

she kept her motor clean

She was the best damn woman that I ever seen

She had the sightless eyes, 

tellin’ me no lies

Knockin’ me out with those American thighs

Takin’ more than her share,

 had me fightin’ for air

She told me to come, but I was already there

‘Cause the walls start shakin’, 

the Earth was quakin’

My mind was achin’, 

and we were makin’ it

chorus

And you

Shook me all night long

Yeah, you

Shook me all night long

verse

Workin’ double-time 

on the seduction line

She’s one of a kind, 

she’s just a-mine, all mine

Wanted no applause,

 just another course

Made a meal outta me, 

and come back for more

Had to cool me down 

to take another round

Now, I’m back in the ring 

to take another swing

That the walls were shakin’,

 the Earth was quakin’

My mind was achin’, 

and we were makin’ it

chorus

And you

Shook me all night long

Yeah, you

Shook me all night long

It knocked me out that you

Shook me all night long

It had me shakin’ and you

Shook me all night long

Yeah, you shook me

Well, you took me

verse 1

Lyin' in my bed, I hear the 

clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles, 

confusion is nothing new

Flashback, warm nights

 almost left behind

Suitcase of memories

Time after..

verse 2

Sometimes you picture me, 

I'm walkin' too far ahead

You're callin' to me, 

I can't hear what you've said

Then you say, "Go slow", 

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds

chorus

If you're lost, you can look

 and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall, I will catch you, 

I'll be waiting

Time after time

If you're lost, you can look 

and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall, I will catch you, 

I will be waiting

Time after time

After my picture fades 

and darkness has turned to gray

Watchin' through windows, 

you're wondering if I'm okay

Secrets stolen 

from deep inside

The drum beats out of time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting

Time after time

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

For a smile they can share the night

Streetlights, people

Everybody wants a thrill

Payin’ anything to roll the dice

Just one more time

Some’ll win, some will lose

Some are born to sing the blues
