Lyrics


1. SKINTIGHT

I saw you standin' by the slurpee machine
White studded belt and skintight jeans
I tried to buy a hostess cupcake
Waby you're so sweet I got a toothache
I wanna take you home with me
Wine and dine you with some cable TV
C'mon now don't be so shy
In those skintight jeans you're my kinda guy

Skintight baby alright
Turn out the light and take a bite
Skintight all night
This feels right and skintight
Skintight baby alright
Skintight all nite

Turn up the music you can make me alright
We're gonna get it Friday fun tonite
In the darkness it's not hard to miss

I can't resist, I need your kiss
I saw you talking to that slut named starr
She was standin' by the nacho bar
She only likes you cause you're in magazines
But I just like you in your skintight jeans

*****

2. HYPERACTIVE

I just am, I never tried to be,
Hyperactive, I like to get crazy
And I got friends who can keep up with me
And when we're out, we like to go full speed
You and me, yeah
You and me

I'm hyperactive, I can't help myself
I'm hyperactive you should watch yourself
'Cause I'm hedonistic and I stay up all night
And I don't know what's wrong,
And I don't know what's right
I'm hyperactive, I can't help myself
I'm hyperactive, you should watch yourself
'Cause I'm hedonistic, know what I like to do

And, baby, I wanna play with you
It's in my genes, my triple energy
But I don't get triple morality And
I can try, but I'm not promising
To keep you safe, baby, when you're with me

I'm hyperactive, I can't help myself
I'm hyperactive you should watch yourself
'Cause I'm hedonistic and I stay up all night
And I don't know what's wrong,
And I don't know what's right
I'm hyperactive, I can't help myself
I'm hyperactive, you should watch yourself
'Cause I'm hedonistic, know what I like to do
And, baby, I wanna play with you

3. YOU DON'T WANNA CALL

Hey Howie, where ya been?
I've been waitin' since half past ten
And you know I got nowhere to go,
Unless you take me to that midnight show
You showed up but it's way too late.
Walter's barbeque is hardly a date
I wanna take you up to my room
But you always have to leave too soon

You don't wanna call me no more
You don't wanna call me your girl
So I guess I'll just go to the mall
'Cause I know that you'll never call
You don't wanna call me no more
You don't wanna call me your girl
So I guess I'll just stare at the wall
'Cause I know that you'll never call

Am I not old enough, am I too young
You think I don't know how to eat Dim Sum
Or is it that I got no more dough,
'Cause I paid your way to the show?
It's ok - I guess I don't care.
You don't wanna take me anywhere
I'll pretend everything's all right,
Even though you won't call me tonight

You don't wanna call me no more
You don't wanna call me your girl
So I guess I'll just go to the mall
'Cause I know that you'll never call
You don't wanna call me no more
You don't wanna call me your girl
So I guess I'll just stare at the wall
'Cause I know that you'll never call
You don't wanna call me no more...
I said, you don't wanna call me your girl

4. HOOK IT UP

Call all my friends, they're commin' right over
We're all gonna get some four leaf clover
The flavor of the month is ace of spades
And then we'll sit back and chug lemonade

Yeah, yeah, well it's just outta sight
Yeah, yeah, c'mon and do it all night
You gotta hook it up, baby You gotta hook it up
Wanna get spaced out tonight
You gotta hook it up, baby
Blow my mind and feel all right
This stuff'll knock you outta your seat
So come one and get spaced out with me
Uh-oh now it's time to hide the fumes
No Wizard spray, we gotta use perfume
Hook it up Hook it up
Better make sure that the door is locked
Let's do some more you know
I'm fully stocked
Let's look in the fridge and get some snacks
Pizza Wispride caffeine to the max

5. DOIN' DONUTS

Get in the Dynaride Vinyl on Naugahyde
I'm wired and I'm ready to go
He's tired shove him out the door
Rock 'n' roll all weekend long
It starts Friday at the break of dawn
Doin' donuts on my neighbor's lawn
Rock 'n' roll all weekend long
Tonight I'm drinkin' for two
That's all I learned in school
Davie's Hotdogs is across the street
Drop in for some foot-long meat
Rock 'n' roll all weekend long
It starts Friday at the break of dawn
Doin' donuts on my neighbor's lawn
Rock 'n' roll all weekend long
Play in the fridge in the junk yard
Shoot BB guns in my backyard
It's pain but I can't complain
It's the sugar in my veins
Rock 'n' roll all weekend long
It starts Friday at the break of dawn
Doin' donuts on my neighbor's lawn
Rock 'n' roll all weekend long

6. SEARCHING THE STREETS

Well it's a Saturday night and I'm searchin' the streets
And I'm lookin for you and I can't stand the heat
You must think I'm a fool not to know who you're with
But when you say her name, you get oh so stiff
There's another side to me, one you don't know,
One you can't see unless you're some kind of ho

I gotta darkside
And I'm searchin' the streets
I gotta darkside
I'm lookin' for some fresh meat
I gotta darkside, And I'm searchin' the strets
And baby, you better run

You think I can't hurt you but you fell in my trap
And you say you believe me, but you're watchin your back
You can run all over and you can try to hide
But you and that girl ain't gonna survive
There's another side to me, one you don't know,
One you can't see unless you're some kind of ho

I gotta darkside
And I'm searchin' the streets
I gotta darkside
I'm lookin' for some fresh meat
I gotta darkside, And I'm searchin' the strets
And baby, you better run

You think I can't hurt you but you fell in my trap
And you say you believe me but you're watchin' your back
It sounded good at the time, but I can guess how if feels
Now that you're on the run and I'm on your heels
There's another side to me, one you don't know,
One you can't see unless you're some kind of ho

I gotta darkside
And I'm searchin' the streets
I gotta darkside
I'm lookin' for some fresh meat
I gotta darkside, And I'm searchin' the strets
And baby, you better run
And I'm searchin' the streets

7. PARTY ACTION

You're hot, and you're not
I'm just here to call the shots
I'm pickin' favorites, it's my favorite game
I'm weeding out the boring and the lame
Act tough, and play rough,
I'm about to stir things up
This party started out so PG-13
I think it needs a little rock 'n' roll machine
Action I want some attraction
I need some distraction
I'd like some party action
He's fine, and it's time
You think he's yours, but he's so mine
I saw his foozball moves and I knew he was right
Looks like you'll need another ride home tonight
I'm glad that you're so mad
I've got what you thought you had
I unwrapped him from your finger
And we just turned off the ringer
He's here, and you're there,
You might think that it's not fair
Well it sucks for you, but I can't complain
You've got the chow mein, and I've got the champagne
Action I want some attraction
I need some distraction
I'd like some party action
Some party action
I'd like some part action, baby
Some party action

8. I DIDN'T LIKE YOU ANYWAY

You told me that it just couldn't be
You don't wanna go out with me
No I'm not sad, I don't even care
'Cause dumb boys like you are everywhere
yeah, that's right

B-O-R-I-N-G
Too bad you're not the boy for me
B-O-R-I-N-G
I wanted something quick and easy

I didn't like you anyway
I was just lookin for fun, uh-huh
I didn't like you anyway
I'm a speed demon on the run

You thought I would be broken hearted
Maybe I would if you weren't so retarted!
I ask your name, you don't even know
You should have dumped me on that talk show

B-O-R-I-N-G
Too bad you're not the boy for me
B-O-R-I-N-G
I wanted something quick and easy

I didn't like you anyway
I was just lookin for fun, uh-huh
I didn't like you anyway
I'm a speed demon on the run

I think that nasal spray got to your brain
I knew you were lame, from your wallet chain
A boston baked bean is the size of your head
I heard you even wet your bed

B-O-R-I-N-G
Too bad you're not the boy for me
B-O-R-I-N-G
I wanted something quick and easy

I didn't like you anyway
I was just lookin for fun, uh-huh
I didn't like you anyway
I'm a speed demon on the run I didn't like you

9. GET OUTTA MY ROOM

I like my music loud
close my eyes and see a crowd
day dreamin' on my bed
neon lights in my head
Cinderella on my TV
video games killin' me
posters of ratt and Miami vice
doin' time with ginger spice

get the hell out, get outta my room
and take your hands off the volume
I need to shout, get outta my room
leave me alone, get outta my room

let's party we're all here
getting stuck in salami and beer
jumped too hard my bed's broke
smoke so thick think I'm gonna choke
now the neighbors are around
says turn that shit down
I'm not breakin' the law
I wanna break your jaw

so,
(get the hell out, get outta my room
and take your hands off the volume
I need to shout, get outta my room
leave me alone, get outta my room)

[repeat 2x more]

10. WELL DONE

Well it's the same thing that I tell everyone
If you wanna get it good, you gotta get it well done
Yeah, it's steamy hot and there's nothin' to do
So I go down to Huffy's for a BBQ.
Sizzliin' meat and it's ready to eat
So come here baby give me some of your meat
El Grullenses's where the beef is hot
And the taco boy wants whatever I got

Well done
You drive me crazy when you turn up the heat
Well done
You're lookin' good, I think I'm ready to eat

And don't try to give me that medium rare
If it ain't hot and hard, then I don't even care
You want some of me you gotta give some first
And if it ain't done right it can't quench my thirst

Well done
You drive me crazy when you turn up the heat
Well done
You're lookin' good, I think I'm ready to eat
Well Done.
Well Done

*****

11. GET YOU ALONE

Get you in my car
Feel the fire superstar
turn up the bass and adjust the seat
I'm on you like a shark on meat

Push the button on my stereo
Then baby we can go go go
I got new speakers that go really loud
I can't wait to get away from the crowd

C'mon c'mon I wanna get you alone
I wanna have you all to my own
C'mon I gotta get you alone
And lure you into the danger zone

C'mon baby get in
Let's to up the sin
Now it's dark and there's no one around
Baby you make my heart pound

*****

12. HOT BOXIN'

Oh no not again
Caught hot boxin' with my friends
Turn around what do I see
A police officer next to me
Oh no
Hey hey hey

Hotboxin'
Never stoppin'
Hotboxin'
Gonna do it again
We're hotboxin'
Never stoppin'
Hotboxin

Gonna do it again
Roll down my window
Watch the smoke and I know they know
"Young lady let me see some ID"
"Didn't you see us on Mtv?"
They say you got a bad attitude
They don't like you, they think you're rude
You got a bad attitude
You gotta learn how to talk to the dude
My eyes are red, I'm talkin too slow
And I say "yes", but I mean "no".
On the curb they found the bottle rocket
But the cheeba's hidden in my pocket.

Hotboxin'
Never stoppin'
Hotboxin'
Gonna do it again
We're hotboxin'
Never stoppin'
Hotboxin
Gonna do it again

13. TOO FAST FOR LOVE

When you're young and crazy
Life goes on
When you're young and crazy
Goes on and on and on

You're too fast for love
You're too fast for love
You're too fast, you're too fast
You're too fast for love

Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Living on a jet
Making love to someone else's dreams
Say it again
She puts her leg up
Well, calls it good luck
Do you know what I mean ?
Do you remember?
Well I remember

Oh no, oh no
Dream machine
So damn cool she can turn on the night
The more she gets
Well, the more that she needs
Do you know what I mean?
Do you remember?
Well I remember
Oh no, oh no

Too fast
Too fast for love
Too fast
You're too fast for love

Oh no, oh no
She's a streamline queen
On a sex craved movie screen
Say it again
She'll use her time up
Have nothing to show
Well mark my words
Do you remember?
Well I remember
Oh no, oh no

You're too fast
You're too fast for love

14. ZERO

Well I can hear him snorin' over the phone
Leaves boring messages on my machine
He's talkin' to me but there's nobody home
He don't go mano think's that is obscene
You're a zero on my rock-o-meter
You wanna get hot, go turn on a heater
Let's go 6-5-0

Yeah yeah baby, you're a zero
Yeah yeah you're nobody's hero
You're always drinkin beer-o
You look just like a gyro
You're a zero baby just a zero

He wants to check it check it check it out with me
He's never even been to Valley Faire
Sorry baby cause I'm too busy
His mom writes his name on his underwear
Y
eah yeah baby, you're a zero
Yeah yeah you're nobody's hero
You're always drinkin beer-o
You look just like a gyro
You're a zero baby just a zero
Yeah yeah baby, you're a zero
Yeah yeah you're nobody's hero
You're always drinkin beer-o
You look like Bob DeNiro
You're a zero baby just a zero
Yeah yeah baby you're a zero
