Live 1980/86

[Intro]
Okay, we're gonna do one more here
This is one of, this is one of my, uh, favorite songs
As far as my own songs go, that is
So I hope you like it
Thanks
[Verse 1]
Music has charms they say
But in some people’s hands
It becomes a savage beast
Can't they control it?
Why don't they hold it back?
[Verse 2]
You see, my friend and me
Don’t have an easy day
And at night we dance, not fight
And we need the energy
If not the sympathy
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm brutalized by bass
And terrorized by treble
I'm open to change my mood but
I always get caught in the middle
[Chorus]
And I gеt tired of DJs
Why is it always what he plays?
Gonna push right through
Gonna tell him to
Tеll him to play us
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
[Verse 3]
It's late, I'm winding down
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me?
[Verse 4]
I feel you touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now
And I want to get near you
But I can't even hear you
[Pre-Chorus]
So this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding
[Chorus]
And I get tired of DJs
Why is it always what he plays?
I'm gonna push right through
Gonna tell him to
Tell him to play us
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
[Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus]
And I get tired of DJs
Why is it always what he plays?
I’m gonna push right through
I’m gonna tell him to
Tell him to play, play us
Play us a
Play us a
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
Play us a slow song
[Outro]
Thank you
Thanks very much
