Build Me Up Lyrics

4 ContributorsBuild Me Up LyricsDon't try to tell me why
You just can't get enough of me
So fine, so unkind
I can tell that you're using me
You just using me
You know what you do to me
 
You just build me up
And then you let me down
Make you feel like a man
And treat me like a clown
 
So strong, but you so wrong
Should've known it all along
So nice, like paradise
I got this feeling I'll be paying price
Paying price for you
I'll be paying for the rest of my life
That ain't nice
 
You just build me up
And then you act so cool
Make you feel like a flame
And treat me like a fool
 
Got me hangin'
On a string

Couple Days Off Lyrics

5 ContributorsCouple Days Off LyricsI like my job and I don't mind the work
But eleven out of twelve is bound to hurt
The pay's pretty good and the benefits are fine
But I got a little girl and I wanna make her mine
 
Don't mind telling you i get a little mad
To get a bit ahead takes all the time I have
Don't misunderstand me
I'm not getting soft
All I want is a couple days off
 
Can't wait for the weekend
Ah baby just can't wait no
 
I don't need another high song to sing
I don't need a shiny new diamond ring
I don't need to meet nobody else
I just need a little time for myself
 
'Cause I'm only human, I am no machine
I need a little R&R if you know what I mean
Don't misunderstand me
I'm not getting soft
All I want is a couple days off
 
Just a couple days
Aww let me catch my breath
 
 
Thank god for the weekend!
 
Ahh back to the old grind
 
I don't need another long coffee break
I've had as much coffee as a man can take
I need to change my disposition
Change my point of view
I need time to figure out what i want to do
 
Believe me when i tell you it gets a little rough
We work a little harder but it never is enough
I'm not afraid to say
I'm a total loss
All I want is a couple days off
 
Can't wait for the weekend

Don’t Look Back Lyrics

3 ContributorsDon’t Look Back LyricsWoman left for another man
Took your car and a steely dan
 
There's only one thing to do
 
Keep on walking and don't look back
Head on down to the chicken shack
Go and act like a maniac
Keep on walking and don't look back
 
Had a little trouble with a guy at work
Got a great big mouth for a little jerk
Got a lot of bills one check won't pay
And a love that's real is fading away
There's only one thing to do
 
Keep on walking and don't look back
Head on down to the chicken shack
Go and act like a maniac
Keep on walking and don't look back
 
Keep on walking and don't look back
Don't you just sing the blues
Keep on walking and never look back
Put on your walking shoes
Keep on walking and don't look back, never look back
Just chalk it up to history, set yourself free
 
 
Keep on walking and don't look back
Head on down to the chicken shack
Go and act like a maniac
Keep on walking and don't look back
