Lyrics:
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
[Chorus]
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
[Chorus]
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
[Chorus]
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright, the kids are alright
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright, the kids are alright, the kids are alright
What is it makes me want to say
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
Take me where the daisies
Cover the country lanes
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains
Take me where the song birds
Thrill you with sweet refrains
We'll make hay while the sun shines
We'll make love when it rains
From the hustle and the bustle of the city
We'll become a pair of country folks
In a little cottage sitting pretty
We'll be Mr. and Mrs.
Honey tell me why you smile
When you see me hurt so bad
Tell me what I did to you babe
That could make you act like that
Yes I've been your fool before babe
And I probably will again
She ain't afraid to let me have it
You ain't afraid to stick it in
Yeah you know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love
Yeah I can take a little pain
I could hold it pretty well
I can watch your little eyes light up
When you're walkin' me through hell
Yes I've been your fool before, babe
And I probably will again
She ain't afraid to let me have it
You ain't afraid to stick it in
Yeah you know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love
Yeah those cobra eyes
Light with a smile
You take pride
In that devil down inside
I can take a little pain
I can hold it pretty well
I can watch your little eyes light up
When you're walkin' me through hell
Yeah I've been your fool before babe
And I probably will again
No you ain't afraid to let me have it
Honey you ain't afraid to stick it in
You know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love
You know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love
It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight
I do pretty well till after sundown
Supper time I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight knows it too
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending?
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy living on your own
All of the things that you used to do
If they're done now, well they're done by you
It seems a big failing in a man
To take his girl for granted if he can
And it's hard thing (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
There's no place where you can call home
Got me running like a cat in a thunderstorm
Just a big bed and a telephone
Like the last remnants of a stately home
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
Well, it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
And it's hard (it's not easy)
It's hard (it's not easy)
It's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy living on your own
Sit here thinking with your head of fire
Go think the same thing and never tire
Imaginin' the glow of her long clean hair
As she goes to sit on her own high chair
And it's hard thing (it's not easy)
Well, it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
Well, it's hard babe (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
It's not easy (a pretty tough thing)
It's not easy (well, life pretty rough)
It's not easy (it's a hard time baby)
It's not easy (it's a hard time baby)
It's not easy (it's a pretty hard life)
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own
It's not easy
It's not easy living on your own
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy living on your own
All of the things that you used to do
If they're done now, well they're done by you
It seems a big failing in a man
To take his girl for granted if he can
And it's hard thing (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
There's no place where you can call home
Got me running like a cat in a thunderstorm
Just a big bed and a telephone
Like the last remnants of a stately home
And it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
And it's hard (it's not easy)
Well, it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
And it's hard (it's not easy)
It's hard (it's not easy)
It's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
It's not easy living on your own
Sit here thinking with your head of fire
Go think the same thing and never tire
Imaginin' the glow of her long clean hair
As she goes to sit on her own high chair
And it's hard thing (it's not easy)
Well, it's a pretty hard thing (it's not easy)
Well, it's hard babe (it's not easy)
It's not easy livin' on your own
It's not easy (a pretty tough thing)
It's not easy (well, life pretty rough)
It's not easy (it's a hard time baby)
It's not easy (it's a hard time baby)
It's not easy (it's a pretty hard life)
So you feel that you ain't nobody
Always needed to be somebody
Put your feet on the ground
Put your hand on your heart
Lift your head to the stars
And the world's for your taking
So you feel it's the end of the story
Find it all pretty satisfactory
Well I tell you my friend
This might seem like the end
But the continuation
Is yours for the making
Yes you're a hero
Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the Wrecking Ball, Wrecking Ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
Cause I forget you know me pretty well
It's in my mind you know me pretty well yeah I forget you know me pretty well
I don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I know I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind, I feel i gotta get away
Bells chime, i know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my fuckin' mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
Mommy popped the popcorn and we'll string it on the tree
Apples, nuts and candy, oh, what a Christmas feast
Daddy play the organ and we'll all sing Silent Night
We'll have a good old country Christmas, alright
A good old country Christmas that's what it's gonna be
With all the family gathered 'round our pretty Christmas tree
We'll open up our presents Christmas Eve about midnight
We'll have a good old country Christmas, alright
Aunt Annie Belle will be here, uncle Bill and their nine kids
We'll make pallets on the floor just like we always did
Grandma'll bake the pies and cakes, oh, what a pretty sight
We'll have a good old country Christmas, alright
A good old country Christmas that's what it's gonna be
With all the family gathered 'round our pretty Christmas tree
We'll open up our presents Christmas Eve about midnight
We'll have a good old country Christmas, alright
A good old country Christmas that's what it's gonna be
With all the family gathered 'round our pretty Christmas tree
We'll open up our presents Christmas Eve about midnight
We'll have a good old country Christmas, alright
Mommie pop the popcorn and we string it on the tree
Apples, nuts and candy oh what a Christmas feel
Daddy play the organ and we'll all sing Silent Night
We'll have a good old country Christmas alright
A good old country Christmas that's what it's gonna be
With all the family gathered round our pretty Christmas tree
We'll open up our presents Christmas Eve about midnight
We'll have a good old country Christmas alright
Aunt Annie Belle will be here uncle Bill and darn our kids
We'll make ballets on the floor just like we always did
Grandma will make the pies and cakes oh what a pretty sight
We'll have a good old country Christmas alright
A good old country Christmas that's what it's gonna be
With all the family gathered round our pretty Christmas tree
We'll open up our presents Christmas Eve about midnight

A good old country Christmas alright
C'mon let me hold you, want you for keeps
When you say frog this poor boy leaps
Pretty girl, oh, pretty girl
Well I got a lot of money and I need a little honey
Pretty girl, don't you be so tame, well, pretty girl
You drive me insane, aah, pretty girl
Well you're mighty short an' lean in a pair of dirty jeans
Pretty girl
Growin' up on the bayou
Can drive you outta your mind
Marie was just a youngin'
When she left the black water behind
It all happened one night
In the back of Jimmy's car
Jimmy said, Marie you're so pretty
Well you oughta be a movie star?
Growin' up on the bayou
Can drive you outta your mind
Some people bad and some people good,
Too bad the bad can't be like the good,
But everything changes a little and it should,
Good ain't forever and bad ain't for good
And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though
I got sugar in my candy and sugar in my soup
I'm getting fat from the candy and sick from the soup
True love is sweet but if it's mishandled
A bitter wind blows and out goes your candle
And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though
Now not enough water puts thirst in a man
And just enough water puts joy in his land
But too much water will overflow
And tear the man's land up, so there you go
And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up,
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up,
Have to get well pretty soon though
It begins to tell,
'round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well, till after sundown,
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad;
But it really gets bad,
'round midnight.
I've been around this whole country
But I never yet found Fennario
Well, as we marched down, as we marched down
Well, as we marched down to Fennerio'
Well, our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
The name that she had was pretty Peggy-O
Well, what will your mother say, what will your mother say?
Well, I'm tired of livin' and I'm scared of dyin'
I can't get ahead and there's no use a tryin'
Things would better change and I ain't a lyin'
Somethin' better happen pretty soon.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, everybody's got a girl to call his own
But I keep on a livin' all alone
Like a king without a throne
Somethin' better happen pretty soon.
I've been around this whole country
But I never yet found Fenneario.
Well, as we marched down, as we marched down
Well, as we marched down to Fennerio'
Well, our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove
Her name that she had was Pretty Peggy-O
Well, what will your mother say, what will your mother say
What will your mother say, Pretty Peggy-O
What will your mother say to know you're going away
You're never, never, never coming back-io ?
It begins to tell
'Round midnight, midnight
I do pretty well, till after sundown
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad
'Round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And ol' midnight knows it, too
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart
And I'm out of my mind
Let our hearts take wings'
'Round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing
For your returning
Till our love is safe and sound
And old midnight comes around
Feelin' sad
Really gets bad
Round, Round, Round Midnight
