| Just What I Needed |
01 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
'cause when you're standing oh so near
i kinda lose my mind
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep
you always knew to wear it well
you look so fancy i can tell
i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to feed
i guess guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to bleed� |

| Since You're Gone |
02 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
since you're gone the nights are getting strange
since you're gone nothing's making sense
since you're gone i stumble in the shade
since you're gone everything's in perfect tense
i can't help it when you fall apart
i can't help it i guess you better start
that is forgetting about you
since you're gone the nights are getting strange
since you're gone i'm throwing it all away
i can't help it everything's a mess
i can't help it you're so treacherous
when it comes to tenderness
since you're gone
since you're gone i miss the peak sensation
since you're gone i took the big vacation
since you're gone i never feel sedate
since you're gone the moonlight ain't so great� |

| You Might Think |
03 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
you might think i'm crazy
to hang around with you
maybe you think i'm lucky
to have something to do
but i think that you're wild
and inside me is some child
you might think it's foolish
or maybe it's untrue
you might think i'm crazy
but all i want is you
you might think it's hysterical
but i know when you're weak
you think you're in the movies
and everything's so deep
but i think that you're wild
when you flash that fragile smile
you might think it's foolish
what you put me through
you might think i'm crazy
but all i want is you
and it's so hard to take
there's no escape without a scrape
you kept it going till the sun fell down
you kept it going
you might think i'm delirious
the way i run you down
but somewhere sometime
when you're curious
i'll be back around
and i think that you're wild
and so uniquely styled
you might think it's foolish
this chancey rendezvous
you might think i'm crazy
but all I want is you� |

| Good Times Roll |
04 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
let the good times roll
let them knock you around
let the good times roll
let them make you a clown
let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
let the good times roll
let the good times roll
let the good times roll
let the stories be cold
they can say what they want
let the photos be old
let them show what they want
if the illusion is real
let them give you a ride
if they got thunder appeal
let them be on your side� |

| Touch And Go |
05 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
all i need is what you've got
all i'll tell is what you're not
all you know is what you hear
i get this way when yo come near
CHORUS
then I know it's gone too far
oh, oh, I touched your star
and it felt so right
like the hush of midnight
until you said
with me it's touch and go
all i need is you tonight
i'm flying like a cement kite
in your headlock on the floor
who could ever ask for more
CHORUS
all I want is you tonight
i guess that dress does fit you tight
and how that look does make me shake
it almost looks too good to take
CHORUS� |

| Drive |

The Cars |

Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr
who's gonna tell you when
it's too late
who's gonna tell you things
aren't so great
you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight
who's gonna pick you up
when you fall
who's gonna hang it up
when you call
who's gonna pay attention
to your dreams
who's gonna plug their ears
when you scream
you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight
who's gonna hold you down
when you shake
who's gonna come around
when you break� |

| Tonight She Comes |
07 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
i know tonight she comes
she's taking a swipe at fun
for sighting my sights
i know tonight she comes
she jangles me up
she does it with ease
and sometimes she passes through me
just like a breeze
she gives me a reason
for feeling all right
i know tonight
i know tonight she comes
i know she's gonna do it to me
one more time
i know she's gonna stay implanted
in my mind
why does she keep me hanging on the line
(repeat)
i know the way she feels
and all of the hearts that she steals
she tells me it's easy
when you do it right
i know tonight
i know tonight she comes
i know tonight
well, i know tonight
tonight she comes� |

| My Best Friends Girl |
08 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
you're always dancing down the street
with your suede blue eyes
and every new boy that you meet
he doesn't know the real surprise
here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
she'll make you flip
here she comes again
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
you kinda like the way she dips
she's my best friend's girl
she's my best friend's girl
and she used to be mine
you've got your nuclear boots
and your drip dry glove
and when you bite your lip
it's some reaction to love� |

| Heartbeat City |
09 |
The Cars |
|
oh heartbeat city
here we come
well happy days
we count on thumbs
and nothing really
gets us down
as long as jacki's
back in town
i'm glad you made it
i can't complain
i missed you badly
when you jumped that train
oh jacki
what took you so long
on just a holiday
oh jacki
what took you so long
i thought you knew the way
i thought you blew away
oh heartbeat city
never stops
and all you need
is what you got
and there's a place
for everyone
under heartbeat city's
golden sun
oh heartbeat city
lights at night
keeps getting closer
out of sight
oh heartbeat city's
on the loose
better catch
the blue caboose� |

| Lets Go |
10 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr
she's driving away
with the dim lights on
and she's making a play
she can't go wrong
she never waits too long
she's winding them down
on her clock machine
and she won't give up
'cause she's seventeen
she's a frozen fire
she's my one desire
and i don't want to hold her down
don't want to break her crown
when she says, let's go
i like the nightlife baby
she says, let's go
she's laughing inside
'cause they can't refuse
she's so beautiful now
she doesn't wear her shoes
she doesn't like to choose
she's got wonderful eyes
and a risque mouth
and when i ask her before
she said she's holding out
she's a frozen fire
she's my one desire� |

| I'm Not The One |
11 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
i'm not the one
that you'll be shooting for
i'm not the one
who's coming back for more
you know why
we've been through this so many times
you know why
it's never clear it's pantomime
going round and round
'cause you can't get on your feet
going round and round
still taking all the heat
going round and round
never touching down
i'm not the one
whose memory you still keep
i'm not the one
who's talking in your sleep
you know why
i don't have to tell you twice
you know why
i knew when you weren't so nice
i'm not the one
that you'll be breaking in
i'm not the one
who could be taken in
you know why
i tried and tried to crack the shell
you know why
when you fake it's hard to tell� |

| Magic |
12 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
summer turns me upside down
summer summer summer
it's like a merry go round
i see you under the midnight
all shackles and bows
how far will you take it
well no one knows
don't let me go
i got a hold on you tonight
oh oh it's magic
when i'm with you
oh oh it's magic
you know it's true
got a hold on you
twisted under sideways down
i know you're getting twisted
and you can't calm down
i see you under the midnight
love darts in your eyes
how far can you take it
till you realize
there's magic in your eyes� |

| Shake It Up |
13 |
The Cars |
|
Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek
dance all night play all day
don't let nothing get in the way
dance all night keep the beat
don't you worry 'bout two left feet
just shake it up
dance all night get real loose
you don't need no bad excuse
dance all night with anyone
don't let nobody pick your fun
just shake it up
dance all night go go go
dance all night get real low
go all night get real hot
shake it up with all you've got
dance all night whirl your hair
make the night cats stop and stare
dance all night go to work
do the move with quirky jerk
just shake it up� |
