The Cars (1978)

Good Times Roll

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

My Best Friend's Girl

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

Just What I Needed

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

I'm In Touch With Your World

Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek

you can tuck it on the inside

you can throw it on the floor

you can wave it on the outside

like you never did before

you get the diplomatic treatment

you get the force fed future

you get the funk after death

you get the wisenheimer brainstorm

i'm in touch with your world

so don't you try to hide it

i'm in touch with your world

and nobody's going to buy it

it's such a lovely way to go

i've been lying on your feathers

you keep talking about the weather

i'm a psilocybin pony

you're a flick fandango phoney

it's a sticky contradiction

it's a thing you call creation

everything is science fiction

and i ought to know

Don't Cha Stop

Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek

right here i'd like to melt inside of you

right here your kiss is totally new

right here your hands are soft and creamy

right here your mouth is wet and dreamy

and it's just what i like

so dim down the light

don't cha stop don't cha stop

don't cha stop don't cha stop

if it makes you feel good

your rhapsody is blowing my cool

your fantasies were written for fools

your long black hair it tickles my skin

feels so luscious come on do it again

You're All I've Got Tonight

Lead Vocal: Ric Ocasek

i don't care if you hurt me some more

i don't care if you even the score

you can knock me and i don't care

you can mock me and i don't care

you can rock me just about anywhere

it's alright 'cus you're all i've got tonight

you're all i've got tonight

you're all i've got tonight

i need you tonight

i don't care if you use me again

i don't care if you abuse me again

you can make me i don't care

you can bump me i don't care

you can love me just about anywhere

it's alright

Bye Bye Love

Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr

i can't feel this way much longer

expecting to survive

with all these hidden innuendoes

just waiting to arrive

it's such a wavy midnight

when you slip into insane

electric angel rock and roller

i hear what you're playing

it's an orange sky

always it's some other guy

it's just a broken lullaby

bye bye love

bye bye love

bye bye love

bye bye love

substitution mass confusion

clouds inside my head

were fogging all my energies

until you visited

eyes of porcelain and blue

could shock me into sense

you think you're so illustrious

you call yourself intense

Moving In Stereo

Lead Vocal: Benjamin Orr

life's the same i'm moving in stereo

life's the same except for my shoes

life's the same you're shaking like tremolo

life's the same it's all inside you

it's so easy to blow up your problems

it's so easy to play up your breakdown

it's so easy to fly through a window

it's so easy to fool with the sound

it's so tough to get up

it's so tough

it's so tough to live up

it's so tough on you
