Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You got me beggin' on my knees
Come on and throw the dog a bone
A man, he doesn't live by rock 'n' roll and brew alone
Baby, baby
[Verse 3]
Rock 'n' roll and brew, rock 'n' roll and brew
They don't 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 we got better things to do
[Verse 4]
I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreamin' of
I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
[Verse 5]
Ever since I can remember
You've been hangin' 'round this joint
You've been tryin' to look away
But now you finally got the point
[Verse 6]
I don't have to know your name
And I won't tell you what to do
But a girl, she doesn't live by only rock 'n' roll and brew
Baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 7]
Rock 'n' roll and brew, rock 'n' roll and brew
They don't 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 we got better things to do
[Verse 8]
I don't know who you are or what you do
Where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreamin' of
I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
[Verse 9]
Ooh, you got the kind of legs that do more than walk
I don't have to listen to your whimperin' talk
Listen, you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
You got a lotta nerve to come on to me
[Verse 10]
Oh, you got the kind of lips that do more than drink
You got the kind of mind that does less than think
But since I'm feelin' kinda lonely, my defenses are low
Why don't we give it a shot and get it ready to go?
I'm lookin' for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
I wanna tell my daddy I'll be missin' in action
[Verse 11]
Ever since I can remember
I've been hangin' 'round this joint
My daddy never noticed
Now he'll finally get the point
[Verse 12]
You got me beggin' on my knees
Come on and throw the dog a bone
A man, he doesn't live by rock 'n' roll and brew alone
Baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 13]
Rock 'n' roll and brew, rock 'n' roll and brew
I know that you and I we got better things to do
Rock 'n' roll and brew, rock 'n' roll and brew
They don't mean a thing when I compare 'em next to you
[Verse 14]
I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreamin' of
I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
[Verse 15]
Dead ringer for love
Dead ringer for love (Dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (Dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (Dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (Dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (Dead ringer)...
