Road To Ruin

(verse)
Hanging out on Second Avenue
Eating chicken Vidallo
I just want to be with you
I just want to have something to do
(Chorus)
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, well all right
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Wait-now, wait-now
Hanging out all by myself
I don't want to be with anybody else
I just want to be with you
I Just want to have something to do
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, well all right
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight ....
2. I Wanted Everything
(intro)
(Verse)
I heard about the Easter Bunny
Presents under a Christmas tree
It was dreaming and fantasy
There was no Mom or Daddy
(chorus)
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I had the world on my shoulder
But I was getting older
Knew I was ready for it
Some kind of employment
I wanted...
All day working on a truck
Bringing the groceries up
not much of a salary
No tip for the delivery
I wanted....
There's no success for me
Involved in a robbery
There's money in the supermarket
And I'm goin' in after it
I wanted...
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
3. Don't Come Close
(intro)
(Verse)
You know it's generally known
You got everything at home
Kisses out of desperation
Bring you more aggravation
(chorus)
and you don't come close
You don't come close
you don't come close
You bring out you souveniers
Soak them wet with your tears
You lose you imagination
Out of more aggravation
And you don't...
You turn red with rage
But act your age
Only thing that your regret
You need more time to forget
And you don't...
You don't come close
You don't come close
You don't come close
4. I don't want you
(intro)
x4
(verse)
You said that you'd be true
Baby said that you'd be true
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
(verse)
I don't want you
Don't want you
I don't want you anymore
You said that you'd be mine
Baby said that you'd be mine
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
I don't want...
I want you I want you to stay
But I guess that it just can't be that way
You said...
I don't want...
Don't want...
5. Needles and Pins
(intro)
(chorus)
I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face of love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Oh I thought I was smart, I stole her heart
I didn't think I'd do, but now I see
She's worth to him than me, let her go ahead
Take his love instead, and one day she will see
Just how to say please, and get down on her knees
Oh that's how it begins, she'll feel those needle and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her
Why can't stop, and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong
Because, saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face of love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Needle and pins
Needle and pins
Needle and pins

9. Questioningly
x2
Questioningly her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke aren't you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago?
Looked at her close forced her into view
Yes, I said, you're a girl
That I once may have knew
But I don't love you anymore
Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry
In the morning, I'm at work at time
My boss he tells me that I'm doing fine
When I'm going home
Whiskey bottle movie on T.V.
Memories make me cry
And I'm alone just me
Just me, questioningly
But I don't...
Looked at her...
Questioningly her...
10. She's the one
Yeah yeah she's the one
Yeah yeah she's the one
When I see her on the street
You know she makes my life complete
And you know I told you so
She's the one, she's the one
Yeah yeah she's my girl
Yeah yeah she's my girl
When I see her on the street
You know she makes my life complete
And you know I told you so
She's the one, she's the one
Know I'll never find a girl like you
But in my heart I'll always love you....
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one
She's the one, she's the one, she's the one
