Eighteen

Well I'm...
Eighteen today and I'm doing okay
Today is my birthday Hooray.
So bring lots of presents, They make me feel good.
If you don't want to, a card bring you should.

'Cause big ones and small ones and medium too,
I'll take them all except for those two.
'Cause it is my Birthday so do as I say,
If you don't want to then just go away.

Meet at Pistol Pete's at six thirty.
Bring all your friends to my Birthday party
There will be lots of cake, Ice Cream and Balloons,
Hot dogs and pizza and Grandpa too.

It is my birthday so do as I say,
If you don't want to then just go away

Brown Chair

There she was, I saw her there.
She was waiting for me with her long red hair.
I walked up and began to talk.
She looked at me and began to walk away.

Then I realized she wasn't waiting for me.
That's the way things just seem to be.
When you think things are going your way,
they just turn around and walk away.

Where do I go, what do I do?
Who would have known that I should have had you.
Now you're gone and what do I do?
I sit here alone and think about you.

There I was, just waiting there.
I was waiting for here in my dark brown chair.
I got up and picked up the phone.
I called up her house but she wasn't home.

Music Ends

Dance with me, hold me closer,
Closer and closer, much closer, while the music plays.
Dance with me, hold me tighter,
Tighter and tighter, much tighter, while the rhythm sways.

Put your lips to mine, while the music plays.
We're no longer strangers, because now we're more than friends.

So, dance with me, hold me tighter, tighter and tighter.
And maybe, we'll be lovers, when the music ends.
(Guitar Solo)
Put your lips to mine, while the music plays.
We're no longer strangers, because now we're more than friends.

So, dance with me, hold me tighter, tighter and tighter.
And maybe, we'll be lovers, when the music ends.

Jerk Song

When I see you walking down the hall
I wonder what you ever saw in me
And when you look at me when I'm walking down the hall
I wonder why I left you again.

I'm so dumb again, but what am I to do
since I've left you again, and I,
I constantly remind myself that
some things are better off left-unsaid now.

And then I ask myself why you put up with me
for all that time.
I'm such a jerk. If I were you,
I wouldn't cry, please don't cry.

Now I must confess, its killing me inside
to see you with that guy.
But I'm just a fool since
I waited way too long to go and talk to you.

She's Dumb

Remember when I'd pick you up at quarter of ten.
You'd scream at me because I was late again.
You'd say the movies, I'd say go ahead.
And halfway through you'd say I'm hungry instead.

And after work I'd hang out with the guys
I'd get a page from you every five.
You'd invite yourself to tag along.
You'll bother us all night long.

I want a girl who's willing to pay.
I don't want to be broke every payday.
I want a girl as you all know.
I want a girl to go to my shows.

Then after school you'll watch us jam.
You don't even like Helen.
Remember when I said it was the end.
Remember when you fucked my best friend.
