Nils Lofgren

Already late to the union hall
Tired and dragging my feet on the ground
Doctor Feelgood is right down my street
I feel run over and it hurt me sweet
"Doc Feel, and I'm getting weak in the knees"

And he said, "Cry tough, son, cry tough"

I told him about my dancing blues
And why I had to fill the bantam nights
"Doctor Feelgood, I promised this lady
If I can't dance, she gonna break my nose"

He said, "Loosen up, boy, 'cause I've go the antidote"

And he said, "Cry tough, for that girl on the floor
Help her up and watch her beg for more"
?Cry tough, go down your soul
You just need another shot of rock and roll"
Just need another shot of rock and roll
Take it away

I feel I'm crippled since they fooled me at school
Until I caught this new kind of spook
Called dancing fever I have to have it

Crazy Doctor Feelgood encouraged my habit
All his time he would devote to discover the antidote
And he said, "Cry tough on your crutches too
You were born to be a dancing fool??

Cry tough, go down your soul
You just need another shot of rock and roll
Yeah, just need another shot of rock and roll
Look out

I need another shot of rock and roll
Need another shot of rock and roll
Need another shot of rock and roll

You used to leave your scent
On his whiskey soaked collar
You both would paint the town
Drink up his very last dollar
And then you loved him for fun
And rode away when it was done
Now he's confused and I know why
Ain't that mud in your eye

Ain't like rain
Remember lively little Richard.
But his men were painting town
You were in need of attention
So he thought he'd take you on down
And there you first saw me
And realized you were no longer free
Cuz true love good girls can't deny
It comes and goes like mud in you're eye.

Sometimes a victim can run

But not when both have been 'von

And I ain't no stranger
I built you up to shoot you down

Once you could thrill me

Now I'm the jury

And you'll be a cinch to convict

Your boy's gonna make the great escape

While your laid bare on the ground

This vengeance had to and in crime

I built you up and shoot you down

You know I'm not usually that kind

But you didn't know he was a brother of mine

But I'll just laugh if you cry

Now ain't that mud in your eye

One last time from Freddy's joint
we drove out to lover's point
shared our last kiss eye to eye
Spoke of tender times long past
said they weren't meant to last
too many different dreams to satisfy

She wants
new shoulders to cry on
new backseats to lie on
and she always gets her way
She wants to see other guys
get lost in other eyes
baby's in the black books
yes she's in the black books today

I've yet to find a dreary bar
where whispers don't drift from afar
about her wild and wicked ways
The hardest truths don't have a why
often true love will just die
and leave a grief to haunt
the lonely nights and days

She wants
new shoulders to cry on
new backseats to lie on
and she always gets her way
She wants to hurt other guys
put tears in other eyes
baby's in the black books
yes she's in the black books today

She wants to hurt other guys
put tears in other eyes
Baby's in the black books
yes she's in the black books today

I know a girl in a new blue dress
Ready to meet a stranger with good intentions
She's so tender with no corners at all
She is one of nature's unique inventions
I know a girl waving goodbye
I love a girl in motion

Someday's the job I get tied up in knots
I come home drunk and angry, so demanding
She lay me down and squeeze it out
Rub my head while I cry, so understanding
Understanding

I know a girl with a tear in her eye
I know a girl with a notion
I know a girl waving goodbye
I love a girl in motion

Guess it got to be too much taking care of me
Guess it got to be too much, I guess it gotta be
I know a girl with a suitcase packed
I love a girl with a train ticket, takin her away from me
Takin her away
I know a girl with a tear in her eye
I know a girl with a notion
I know a girl waving goodbye
I love a girl in motion

Girl in motion
I know a girl
Girl with emotion
I know a girl
Girl in motion
I know a girl
Girl with a notion
I love a girl
Girl in motion

Today I'm thinkin' about the world we live in
All the love and hate that's floatin' around
All the times I felt so lost and helpless
You stood by me, you never let me down
Still I keep throwin' up these walls
Most of them I've built with stones
You tear 'em down and bridge the distance
Knowin' we ain't here to be alone
So let your blue heart open wide
Let's never leave our dreams behind
It would comfort and restore my pride
If you let me be your valentine
Our differences are part of life
Still love will pass the test of time
I want you everyday and night
Girl, won't you be my valentine
be my valentine
Be my valentine
Be my valentine

Ah, you, wake me with the genlest touch.
When you, kiss me, oh, I feel I must I have you;
You have everything I need,
Except a burning love for me.

When I first saw you that day,
I had to ask you stay.
We ate and drank to much,
And our hearts softly touched.
Now, in us I do believe,
Or have I been deceived?

Ah, you; you come down like early rain, and you,
Wash away my every pain, and you,
You have everything I need,
Except a burning love for me.

Well we had this for a while,
And when we make love, you'd always smile.
Still, there's a distance I can't close.
I'm in deeper, and it shows. It shows.

Well, while our hearts are young and there's still time,
Tell me what to do to make you mine,
Oh, mine, ah, you.
You walk outside and birds start to sing, ah, you.
You look at me and know everything I feel
I feel, grant me one wish, and I'll be free.
I want you more in love with me.
I want you more in love with me, ah, you.

> Just another room
Just another town
Same old crazy people hanging around
Still you shine silently
Different interstates
Comin' down alone
Feel like packin' all my bags
And running home
Shine silently
Shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines
Shines on me
People at the door
People on the phone
Same old story
No time on my own
Still shine silently
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to prove
When it's said and done
There's nothing left but you, baby
Shine silently
Shine silently
I don't need no light in the darkness
Shine silently
No I won't get lost while your loves shines
Shines on me

Today I'm thinkin' about the world we live in

Girl, won't you be my valentine
be my valentine
Be my valentine
Be my valentine

Long ago in book of old, before the chapter were dreams unfold
A battle raged on open page,
Love was a winner there overcoming hate
Like a little girl who couldn't wait

Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love, will break it down
Break it down
Break it down

Tomorrow is a long long time if you're a memory
Trying to find piece of mind
Spirit come to me, give strength and set me free
Let me feel the magic in my heart

Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love
