You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh

Te llamo por teléfono,
My voice too rough with cigarettes
A veces siento que debería volver a casa,
pero estoy lidiando con un recuerdo que nunca se olvida.

Me encanta oírte decir mi nombre,
sobre todo cuando dices que sí.
I got your body right now on my mind
But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex

Mmm
To the sound of old T-Rex
Oh, and who's next?

Cuando digo, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
Cuando digo, "Te necesito, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
o el amor te cortará como un cuchillo.

I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown
I'm not into your passport picture
solo me gusta tu nariz
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs
But this one never begs

No me importa realmente cuánto me ames.
Ooh, un poco está bien.
Cuando dices, "Come over and spend the night
Tonight, " tonight

Cuando digo, "Te amo, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
Cuando digo, "Te necesito, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you, cut you like a knife

I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Tu perro sigue lamiéndome la nariz
And chewing up all those letters
Saying you better
You better bet your life

You better love me all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better love me all the time now
You better shove me back into line now

I showed up late one night
With a neon light for a visa
But knowing I am so eager to fight
Can't make letting me in any easier

I know I've been wearing crazy clothes
And I look pretty crappy sometimes
But my body feels so good
And I still sing a razor line every time

And when it comes to all-night living
I know what I'm giving
I've got it all down to a tee
And it's free

When I say, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
When I say, "I need you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet

When I say, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
When I say, "I need you, " you scream you better
You better you better you bet

When I say, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
When I say, "I need you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet

When I say, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
When I say, "I need you, " you scream you better
You better you better you bet

You better bet your life
Or love will cut you just like a knife

You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh
You better you better you bet, ooh

I call you on the telephone
My voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets

I love to hear you say my name
Especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind
But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex

Mmm
To the sound of old T-Rex
Oh, and who's next?

When I say, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
When I say, "I need you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you like a knife

I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown
I'm not into your passport picture
I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs
But this one never begs

I don't really mind how much you love me
Ooh, a little is alright
When you say, "Come over and spend the night
Tonight, " tonight

When I say, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
When I say, "I need you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you, cut you like a knife

I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters
Saying you better
You better bet your life

You better love me all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better love me all the time now
You better shove me back into line now

I showed up late one night
With a neon light for a visa
But knowing I am so eager to fight
Can't make letting me in any easier

No puedo ser responsable de mi mal comportamiento
Perdí todo contacto con mi única salvadora.
No one locked me out because I failed to phone up
No puedo soportar vivir para siempre como un solitario.

No sueltes el abrigo,
No sueltes el abrigo No sueltes el abrigo No sueltes el abrigo

Es fácil estar triste cuando te falta una pareja,
pero ¿cómo reaccionaría yo ante un corazón roto?
It ain't really true rock and roll, a menos que
Hanging onto you, and when I hold it next time

No soltaré el abrigo,
no sueltes el abrigo, no sueltes el abrigo, no sueltes el abrigo

Intento explicarte, pero nunca lo entenderás.
Necesito tu cuerpo, pero no te lo puedo exigir.
I won't let go like a stray at heel
(Never let it out of your sight)
Every lonely wife sabe cómo me siento
(Don't let go tonight)
no sueltes el abrigo,
no sueltes nunca el abrigo.

Your friends all pass for life is just a market
pero tienes que terminar todo lo que empieces.
So I live my life tearing down the runway
seguro de que algún día aprenderé a aguantar.

No sueltes el abrigo.
Won't get no more chances; forget the war dances
Go blind and hang on; don't try the slang, hijo.
No sueltes nunca el abrigo.

I can't be held responsible for blown behavior
I lost all contact with my only savior
No one locked me out because I failed to phone up
I can't bear to live forever like a loner

Don't let go the coat
Don't let go the coat Don’t let go the coat Don’t let go the coat

It's easy to be sad when you lack a partner
But how would I react to a broken heart now?
It ain't really true rock and roll unless I'm
Hanging onto you, and when I hold it next time

I won't let go the coat
Don’t let go the coat Don’t let go the coat Don’t let go the coat

I try to explain, but you never understand it
I need your body, but I can't just demand it
I won't let go like a stray at heel
(Never let it out of your sight)
Every lonely wife knows the way I feel
(Don't let go tonight)
Don't let go the coat
Never let go the coat

Your friends all pass for life is just a market
But you have to finish everything you started
So I live my life tearing down the runway
Sure to get the hang of hanging in there someday

Don't let go the coat
Won't get no more chances; forget the war dances
Go blind and hang on; don't try the slang, son
Never let go the coat

¿Alguna dormiste en una fosa de los osos
junto con corazones de manzana y ratones?
¿Did you ever lay on ice and grit
Or search for a place where the wind was gone?

Did you ever tramp up endless hills
Past cozy homes with secret beds?
¿Algun vez soñaste con una pastilla suicida
And wake up cold to the smell of bread?

Well, I have slept there badly twice
And shared my straw with scratchin' mice
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)

Did you ever have to make a draw
For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone?
Did you ever jemmy a stable door
Or scare the horse to escape the snow?

Did you ever invade a neat little yard
Wake up the children who hope for ghosts?
Did you ever cause their dogs to bark
Their guests to curse their noisy hosts?

Don't jump in expectin' fun
Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun
Don't enter the cage with wavin' chairs
'Cause I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)

Did you ever pass the police at work
And hope that they might take you in?
Did you ever wonder why music hurts
When someone plays it aloof to sin?
¿Alguna vez creíste que una sonrisa podía curar
A happy face, keep you warm at night?
Were you ever fooled by laughter's lure
Only to find that they laughed in spite?

Did you ever finally find a place
A soft warm bed in a room of flowers
And when you finally laid down your face
You found you slept for a hundred hours
You found you slept for a hundred hours?
A hundred hours
A hundred hours

There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)

Did you ever sleep in a bear pit
With apple cores and mice along?
Did you ever lay on ice and grit
Or search for a place where the wind was gone?

Did you ever tramp up endless hills
Past cozy homes with secret beds?
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill
And wake up cold to the smell of bread?

Well, I have slept there badly twice
And shared my straw with scratchin' mice
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)

Todo el mundo me llama el callado
Puedes verme, pero no puedes oírme.
Todo el mundo me llama el callado
You can try but you can't get near me
I ain't never had the gift of gab
But I can't talk with my eyes
When words fail me you won't nail me
My eyes can tell you lies

Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you
No tienes nada que oír, no tengo nada que decir,
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away

Everybody calls me the quiet one
But you just don't understand
You can't listen you won't hear me
With your head stuck in the sand
I ain't never had time for words that don't rhyme
My head is in a cloud
I ain't quiet - everybody else is too loud

Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear I've got nothing to say
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away.

Everybody calls me the quiet one
You can see but you can't hear me
Everybody calls me the quiet one
You can try but you can't get near me
I ain't never had the gift of gab
But I can't talk with my eyes
When words fail me you won't nail me
My eyes can tell you lies

Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear I've got nothing to say
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away

Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear I've got nothing to say
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away.

Me despierto sobre vidrios rotos
pero dejaste tu número.
Todos los miembros del elenco
Reckon I was lumbered

Did you steal it
Did you screw me
Did you peel it
Did you do me

Are you out there Sr. don nadie
Is my investment growing
Siento haberme emborrachado tanto,
pero te he escrito un poema.

Did you search me
Did you turn me over
While I cold turkeyed
en el sofá

Did you steal my money

How can we forgive a grievance
Now that we all live with demons
Did you know that poor old veteran
That you kicked out of his bed

Says that he cannot forget you
But he does not wish you dead
Leave his gold watch in reception
He will keep the sixteen stitches in his head
Did you steal his money

Did you pinch my trainer football
Say if you half inched it
Thought I heard a female foot fall
While I washed my kitchen

Did you use me
Why'd I trust you
Why'd you abuse me
I won't bust you

Did you steal my lorry
It fell right off my lorry

Did you pinch my brasso
Nick my belt you asshole

I wake up on broken glass
But you left your number
All the members of the cast
Reckon I was lumbered

Did you steal it
Did you screw me
Did you peel it
Did you do me

Are you out there Mr no-one
Is my investment growing
Sorry that I got so drunk
But I wrote you a poem

Did you search me
Did you turn me over
While I cold turkeyed
On the sofa

Did you steal my money

How can we forgive a grievance
Now that we all live with demons
Did you know that poor old veteran
That you kicked out of his bed

Says that he cannot forget you
But he does not wish you dead
Leave his gold watch in reception
He will keep the sixteen stitches in his head
Did you steal his money

Did you pinch my trainer football
Say if you half inched it
Thought I heard a female foot fall
While I washed my kitchen

Did you use me
Why'd I trust you
Why'd you abuse me
I won't bust you

Did you steal my lorry
It fell right off my lorry

Did you pinch my brasso

He looked lonely but his eyes were bright

Play in, play out, fade in, fade out
Making records day in, day out
Making records day in, day out

Just wanna be making daily records
Just wanna be making daily records

You - you're wasting my time
We're making music we're doing fine
Then a slap in the face takes me back to the starting line
You - you're wasting my life
You can't lose what you've already lost
Your arms are open but your legs are crossed

Save me - save me
I'm going down for the third time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me my next line

Too hot for me to handle
So cold I'm getting nowhere
Pinch me to see if I'm sleeping
Maybe it's only a nightmare

You - why did it have to be you?
Of all those girls I had to choose
Tú ganas y yo pierdo
You - you with the poisonous eyes
Una mirada y estoy enganchado,
un toque and my goose is cooked

Save me - save me
I'm going down for the third time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me a life line

Too late to change partners
Too late you've got no chance
Too late to change partners
Too late to say I don't dance

You - there's a name for girls like you
You lead me on like a lamb to the slaughter
Then you act like a fish out of water
You - there's a name for girls like you
You're coming on like a steam train
Then you blow me away just like a hurricane

Save me - save me
I'm going down for the last time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me a lifeline
Save me I'm falling
From the top of the page to the next line
Save me I'm burning
From the tip of my toes to my hairline

Too hot for me to handle
So cold I'm getting nowhere
Pinch me to see if I'm sleeping
Maybe it's only a nightmare

You - you're wasting my time
We're making music we're doing fine
Then a slap in the face takes me back to the starting line
You - you're wasting my life
You can't lose what you've already lost
Your arms are open but your legs are crossed

Save me - save me
I'm going down for the third time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me my next line

Too hot for me to handle
So cold I'm getting nowhere
Pinch me to see if I'm sleeping
Maybe it's only a nightmare

You - why did it have to be you?
Of all those girls I had to choose
You win and I lose
You - you with the poisonous eyes
One look and I'm hooked
One touch and my goose is cooked

Save me - save me
I'm going down for the third time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me a life line

Too late to change partners
Too late you've got no chance
Too late to change partners
Too late to say I don't dance

You - there's a name for girls like you
You lead me on like a lamb to the slaughter
Then you act like a fish out of water
You - there's a name for girls like you
You're coming on like a steam train
Then you blow me away just like a hurricane

Save me - save me
I'm going down for the last time
Save me - save me
Somebody throw me a lifeline
Save me I'm falling
From the top of the page to the next line
Save me I'm burning
From the tip of my toes to my hairline

Too hot for me to handle
So cold I'm getting nowhere
Pinch me to see if I'm sleeping
Maybe it's only a nightmare

You can't always get it
When you really want it
You can't always get it at all
Just because there's space
In your life it's a waste
To spend your time. ¿Por qué no esperas la llamada?

We all get it in the end
(Just gotta get used to it)
We go down and we come up again
(Just gotta get used to it)
You irritate me my friend
(This is no social crisis)
This is you having fun
(No crisis)
Getting burned by the sun
(This is true)
This is no social crisis
Just another tricky day for you

You can always get higher
Just because you aspire
You could expire even knowing.
Don't push the hands
Just hang on to the band
You can dance while your knowledge is growing

You can't expect to never cry
(Patience is priceless)
Not when you try to fly so high
(Just stay on that line)
Rock and roll will never die
(This is no social crisis)

Another tricky day
Another gently nagging pain
Lo que dicen los periódicos
parece provocar lluvias más intensas.
El mundo parece estar en una espiral,
la vida seems such a worthless title
But break out and start a fire y'all
It's all here on the vinyl
(No crisis)

You can't always get it
When you really want it
You can't always get it at all
Just because there's space
In your life it's a waste
To spend your time why don't you wait for the call

Gotta get used to waiting
(Just gotta get used to it)
You know how the ice is
(Just gotta get used to it)
It's thin where you're skating
(This is no social crisis)

Just another tricky day for you fella

You can't always get it
When you really want it
You can't always get it at all
Just because there's space
In your life it's a waste
To spend your time why don't you wait for the call

We all get it in the end
(Just gotta get used to it)
We go down and we come up again
(Just gotta get used to it)
You irritate me my friend
(This is no social crisis)
This is you having fun
(No crisis)
Getting burned by the sun
(This is true)
This is no social crisis
Just another tricky day for you

You can always get higher
Just because you aspire
You could expire even knowing.
Don't push the hands
Just hang on to the band
You can dance while your knowledge is growing

You can't expect to never cry
(Patience is priceless)
Not when you try to fly so high
(Just stay on that line)
Rock and roll will never die
(This is no social crisis)

Another tricky day
Another gently nagging pain
What the papers say
Just seems to bring down heavier rain
The world seems in a spiral
Life seems such a worthless title
But break out and start a fire y'all
It's all here on the vinyl
(No crisis)

You can't always get it
When you really want it
You can't always get it at all
Just because there's space
In your life it's a waste
To spend your time why don't you wait for the call

Gotta get used to waiting
(Just gotta get used to it)
