===================================================================== Meat Loaf Lyrics ===================================================================== DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, c'mon and throw the dog a bone A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone Baby baby, baby baby Chorus: 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 oh we got better things to do 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 dreaming of I don't know who you are, but you're 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 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 (chorus) (boy:) Oh! You got the kind of legs that do more than walk (girl:) I don't 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 I'm feeling kinda lonely and my defenses are low Why don't you give it a shot and get it ready to go I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction I want to tell my daddy I'll be missing in action Ever since I can remember I've been hanging 'round this joint My daddy never noticed, now he'll finally get the point (boy:) You got me beggin' on my knees, c'mon and throw the dog a bone A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone Baby baby (chorus) Dead ringer for love Dead ringer for love - dead ringer (repeats 12x) Jim Steinman, 1981 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
