Lyrics for singles by The Cars

Dangerous Type

Can I touch you, are you out of touch
I guess I never noticed that much
Geranium lover, I'm live on your wire
Oooo come and take me whoever you are

She's a lot like you
The dangerous type
She's a lot like you
Come on and hold me tight

Oooo inside angel, always upset
Keeps on forgettin' that we ever met
Can I bring you out in the light
My curiosity's got me tonight

Museum directors with high shaking heads
They kick white shadows until they play dead
They want to crack your crossword smile
Oooo can I take you out for awhile, yeah

Just What I Needed

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 you're just what I needed
I needed someone to bleed

Since You're Gone

Since you're gone
The nights are gettin' strange
Since you're gone
Well, nothing's makin' any sense
Since you're gone
i stumbled in the shade
Since you're gone
Everything's in perfect tense, well

I can't help it
when you fall apart
And I can't help it
guess you better start
that is forgettin' about you
(since you're gone)

since you're gone
nights are gettin' strange
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
thrownin' it all away
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
the nights are gettin' strange
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
thrownin' it all away
I can't help it
everything's a mess
I can't help it
you're so treacherous
when it comes, to tenderness
(since you're gone)
I can't help it
everything's a mess
I can't help it
you're so treacherous
oh, where's that tenderness?
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
I missed the peak sensation
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
I took the big vacation
(since you're gone)
well, never feel sedate
(since you're gone)
well, the moonlight ain't so great
(since you're gone)

Drive

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who's gonna come around
When you break
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Oh you know you can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Good Times Roll

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 told
They can say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want

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-oll
Won't you let the good times roll

Good times roll

If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side

Moving In Stereo

life's the same I'm moving in stereo
life's the same except for my shoes
life's the same you're shakin' 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

Let's Go

She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making her play you know she can't go wrong
She never waits too long
She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, let's go

She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
She never likes to choose
She's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I asked her before, she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

You Might Think

you might think i'm crazy
to hang around with
you maybe you think i'm lucky
to have something to do
but I think that you're wild
and inside me is some child
you might think it's foolish
or maybe it's untrue
you might think i'm crazy
but all I want is you you

might think it's hysterical
but I know when you're weak
you think you're in the movies
and everything's so deep
but I think that you're wild
when you flash that fragile smile
you might think it's foolish
what you put me through
you might think
i'm crazy but all I want is you

and it's hard so hard to take
there's no escape without a scrape
you kept it going till the sun fell down
you kept it going
you might think i'm delirious
the way I run you down
but somewhere sometime
when you're curious
i'll be back around
and I think that you're wild
and so uniquely styled
you might think it's foolish
this chancey rendezvous
you might think i'm crazy
but all I want is you

My Best Friend's Girl

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

My best friend's girlfriend
My best friend's girlfriend

Shake It Up

Dance all night, play all day
Don't let nothing get in the way
Dance all night, keep the beat
Don't you worry 'bout two left feet
Just shake it up

Dance all night, get real loose
You don't need no bad excuse
Dance all night with anyone
Don't let nobody pick your fun
Just shake it up

Dance all night go go go
Dance all night, get real low
Go all night, get real hot
Shake it up until you pop
Dance all night whirl your hair
Make the night cats stop and stare
Dance all night go to work
Do the move with the quirky jerk
Just shake it up
