Dead Ringer Lyrics - 1981
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
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
And 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)
