Every night I grab some money
And I go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer
I got a dream, I need a car
You got me baggin' on my knees
Come on and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live
By rock n' roll and brew alone
Baby! Baby!
Rock n' roll and brew
Rock n' roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
When I compare 'em next to you
Rock n' roll and brew
Rock n' roll and brew
I know that you and I
We got better things to do
I don't know who you are
What you do, where you go
And you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby
But you're everything I'm dreamin' of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
Ever since I can remember
You been hanging 'round this joint
You been trying to look away
But now you finally got the point
I don't have to know no name
And I won't tell you what to do
But a girl, she doesn't live
By only rock n' roll and brew
Baby! Baby!
Baby! Baby!
Rock n' roll and brew
Rock n' roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
When I compare 'em next to you
Rock n' roll and brew
Rock n' roll and brew
I know that you and I
We got better things to do
I don't know who you are
What you do, where you go
And you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby
But you're everything I'm dreamin' of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
You got the kind of legs
That do more than walk
I don't have listen
To you whimpering talk
Listen!
You got the kind of eyes
That do more than see
You got a lot of nerve
To come on to me
You got the kind of lips
That do more than drink
You got the kind of mind
That does less than think
But since I'm feeling kind of lonely
And my defenses are low
Why don't we give it a shot
And get it ready to go
I'm looking for anonymous
And fleeting satisfaction
I wanna tell my daddy
And I'll be missing in action
Ever since I can remember
I've been hanging 'round this joint
My daddy never noticed it
Now he'll finally get the point
You got me beggin' on my knees
Come on and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live
By rock n' roll and brew alone
Baby! Baby!
Baby! Baby!
Rock n' roll and brew
Rock n' roll and brew
I know that you and I
We got better things to do
Rock n' roll and brew
Rock n' roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
When I compare 'em next to you
I don't know who you are
What you do, where you go
And you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby
But you're everything I'm dreamin' of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
