lyrics

I met a girl real late one night and she told me
that she heard me on the radio
So she pulled out a pen, wrote her number said
if I want trouble I should let her know
I tried to be nice
but that was no good
So I made sure my shoes were tied and I ran as fast as I could

Yeah she wants trouble (trouble), Oh she wants gold (gold, gold)
Yeah she wants love (love), Or so I'm told (that's what I'm told)
So she goes out, all alone
Oh and I don't mind a good time, but I'm
not tryin' to take you home

So I made my way out to the alley
and I found some guys makin'’ lines
And I could’n't see anything else
but an old dead end street sign
I had to decline
I got to say no
So I turned around on the spot but it seems there's no place to go

They wanna get high (high), they wanna get low (low, low)
Tryin' to feel alive (feel alive), or so I'm told (That's what I'm told)
So they go out, never go to bed
Oh and I don't mind a good time, but I'm
not tryin' to lose my head

(Drum Break)

(Saxophone Solo)

I went out real late one night ‘
'cause I heard there was a band in town
So I jumped into my car
and joined everybody heading down
They got dressed up
Came from all around
And you know I overheard ’'em all saying
that they really do dig the sound

Yeah they want swing (ooh that swing), oh they want soul (soul, soul)
Give me the blues (blues), give me that rock and roll (rock and roll)
That's why I go out, late at night
Oh and I don't mind a good time if the music's outta sight
Give it to me now

Yeah they want jazz, oh they want funk
give me that hip-hop, give me that rock, rock, rock, rock and roll
Give it to me now...
