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 begging on my knees, c'mon 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 oh we got better things to do

I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming 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 around this joint
You been trying to look away but now you finally got the point
I don't have to know your 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 oh we got better things to do

I don't know who you are or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love

Oh! You got the kind of legs that do more than walk
I don't have to listen to your whimpering talk
Listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
You got a lotta 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 kinda lonely n' 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 want to tell my daddy I'll be missing in action

Ever since I can remember I've been hanging 'round this joint
My daddy never noticed now he'll finally get the point
You got me beggin' on my knees, c'mon 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 oh 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 or what you do
Or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love

Dead ringer for love
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)
Dead ringer for love (dead ringer)

Meat Loaf (Marvin Lee Aday) is a rock artist from Texas. He is perhaps best known for his iconic sophomore album Bat Out Of Hell from 1977 and its successors. While Meat Loaf is known to have others such as the likes of Jim Steinman write and compose his songs, his powerful voice and performances have given him a renowned and reputable recognition.

During the mid to late 1980s, he quickly fell into obscurity after a series of albums which resulted in commercial and critical failure. However, in following and recent years, he has released more well-received material, as well as become a popular concert attraction.

Asides his music career, Meat Loaf has also found moderate success in his acting career. Some of his most notable appearances in film include Tenacious D and The Pick Of Destiny, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Wayne’s World.
