THE CARS (Greatest Hits)

Just what I need
Since you're gone
You might think
Good times roll
Touch and go
Drive
Tonight she comes
My best friend's girl
Heartbeat city
Let's go
I'm not the one
Magic
Shake it up


JUST WHAT I NEEDED

I don't mind you comin' here
and wastin' all my time
'cause when you're standin' 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 comin' here
and wastin' all my time

I don't mind you hangin' out
and talkin' in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep, yeah
you always knew to wear it well and
you look so fancy I can tell
I don't mind you hangin' out
and talkin' in your sleep

I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you comin' here
and wastin' all my time time
'cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
and wastin' all my time

I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
yeah, yeah, so bleed me

you're just what I needed
you're just what I needed
yeah, you're just what I needed
yeah, yeah yeah


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
'd I (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

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)
since you're gone
(since you're gone)
well, I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)
when the night (?)
(since you're gone)
strange
I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)
well, since you're gone
(since you're gone)
since you're gone
since you're gone
(since you're gone)
I've thrown it all away
(since you're gone)


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

CHORUS
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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS


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

let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair
let the good times roll
won't you let the good times roll-oll
let the good times roll

let the good times roll
won't you let the good times roll
well let the good times roll
let 'em roll (good times roll)

let the good times roll
oo let the good times roll
oo let the good times roll
let 'em roll (good times roll)

well, let the good times roll
(let the good times roll)
well let the good times roll
good times roll
(let the good times roll)
let the good times roll
let 'em roll-oll

TOUCH AND GO

All I need is what you've got
All I'll tell is what you're not
All you know is what you hear
I get this way when yo come near

CHORUS
Then I know it's gone too far
Oh, oh, I touched your star
And it felt so right
Like the hush of midnight
Until you said
With me it's touch and go

All I need is you tonight
I'm flying like a cement kite
In your headlock on the floor
Who could ever ask for more

CHORUS
All I want is you tonight
I guess that dress does fit you tight
And how that look does make me shake
It almost looks too good to take

CHORUS


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


TONIGHT SHE COMES

I know tonight she comes
she's takin' a swipe at fun
she gives me a reason
for sighting my sights
well I know tonight she comes
she jangles me up
she does it with ease
and sometimes she passes through me
just like a breeze
she gives me a reason
for feelin' all right
oh well
(know tonight, I know tonight)
I know tonight
(know tonight, I know tonight)
I know tonight
(know tonight, I know tonight)
she comes

and I know she's gonna do it to me
one more time (one more time)
I know she's gonna stay implanted
in my mind
why does she keep me hanging on the line, oh
(why does she keep me hanging on the liiiiiiine)

ah yeah, I know she's gonna do it to me
one more time (one more time)
I know she's gonna stay implanted
in my mind
oh, why does she keep me hanging on the line, oh yeah
(why does she keep me hanging on the liiiiiiine)

I know the way she feels
and all of the hearts that she steals
she tells me it's easy
when you do it right
oh well, ell I know tonight she comes
(I know tonight she comes)
she tells me it's easy
when you do it right
(know tonight, I know tonight) I know tonight
(know tonight, I know tonight) I know tonight
(know tonight, I know tonight) she comes
(she comes)

I know tonight, oh yeah
(know tonight, I know tonight)
(I know tonight) well I know tonight
(know tonight, I know tonight)
tonight she comes


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
oo, she'll make you flip
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips
well she's my best friend's girl
she's my best friend's girl-irl
but she used to be mine

you've got your nuclear boots
and your drip dry glove
oo when you bite your lip
it's some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
yeah, I think you'll flip
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(here she comes again)
I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips
'cause she's my best friend's girl
well she's my best friend's girl-irl
and she used to be mine
she's so fine

you're always dancing down the street
with your suede blue eye-eyes
and every new boy that you meet
doesn't know the real surprise

(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(here she comes again)
oh, she'll make you flip
(here she comes again)
when she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
(here she comes again)
I kinda like the way, I like the way she dips
'cause she's my best friend's girl, uh
she's my best friend's girl-irl-u-irl
she used to be mine
she so, fine


(my best friend's girlfriend)

HEARTBEAT CITY

oh heartbeat city
here we come
and happy days
count on thumbs
and nothin' really
gets us down
as long as Jacki's
back in town…hmm

I'm glad you made it
I can't complain
oh Jacki (echo)
what took you so long
on just a holiday
oh Jacki (echo)
what took you so long
I thought you knew the way
(heartbeat city)

the noise electric
never stops
and all you need
is what you got
and there's a place
for everyone
under heartbeat city's
golden sun

(Jacki)
oh Jacki
(what took you so long)
what took you so long
on just a holiday
oh Jacki (echo)
(what took you so long)
what took you so long
(so long)
I thought you knew the way

you know? (unintelligible)
I'm glad you made it
I can't complain
I missed you so badly
when you jumped that train

(Jacki)
oh Jacki
(what took you so long)
what took you so long
on just a holiday
oh Jacki (echo)
(what took you so long)
what took you so long
(so long)
(thought you knew the way)
I thought you blew away

(heartbeat city)
oh heartbeat city
lights at night
(heartbeat city)
keeps getting closer
out of sight
(heartbeat city)
heartbeat city's
on the loose
(heartbeat city)
better catch
the blue caboose
oh, huh, heartbeat city
it's my life, uh


LET'S GO

She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making a play and 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

CHORUS
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 doesn't like to choose

She's got wonderful eyes and a risqué mouth
And when I ask her before, she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

CHORUS


I'M NOT THE ONE

I'm not the one
that you'll be shooting for
I'm not the one
who's coming back for more
you know why
we've been through this so many times
you know why
it's never clear it's pantomime

going round and round
'cause you can't get on your feet
going round and round
still taking all the heat
going round and round
never touching down

I'm not the one
whose memory you still keep
I'm not the one
who's talking in your sleep
you know why
I don't have to tell you twice
you know why
i knew when you weren't so nice

i'm not the one
that you'll be breaking in
i'm not the one
who could be taken in
you know why
i tried and tried to crack the shell
you know why
when you fake it's hard to tell


MAGIC

Summer turns me upside down
Summer summer summer
It's like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
How far will you take it
Well no one knows
Don't let me go
I got a hold on you tonight

CHORUS
Oh oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh it's magic
You know it's true
Got a hold on you

Twisted under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down
I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes

CHORUS
