Dead Ringer For Love Lyrics
Meat Loaf
Every night I grab some money and I go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer, I got a dream, I need a car
You got me begging on my knees, cmon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesnt live by rock n roll and brew alone
Baby baby, baby baby
Chorus:
Rock n roll and brew, rock n roll and brew
They dont mean a thing when I compare em next to you
Rock n roll and brew, rock n roll and brew
I know that you and I oh we got better things to do
I dont know who you are or what you do, or where you go when youre not around
I dont know anything about you baby, but youre everything Im dreaming of
I dont know who you are, but youre a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
(girl:) ever since I can remember you been hanging round this joint
You been trying to look away but now you finally got the point
I dont have to know your name and I wont tell you what to do
But a girl - she doesnt live by only rock n roll and brew
Baby baby, baby baby - chorus
You got the kind of legs that do more than walk
(girl:) I dont have to listen to your whimpering talk
(boy:) listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
(girl:) you got a lotta nerve to come on to me
(boy:) you got the kind of lips that do more than drink
(girl:) you got the kind of mind that does less than think
But since Im feeling kinda lonely and my defenses are low
Why dont you give it a shot and get it ready to go
Im looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
And I want to tell my daddy Ill be missing in action
Ever since I can remember Ive been hanging round this joint
My daddy never noticed, now hell finally get the point
(boy:) you got me beggin on my knees, cmon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesnt live by rock n roll and brew alone
Baby baby - chorus
