[Verse 1]
We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
Don't think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine
Love of mine
Still I got nothing to show for it
[Verse 2]
Here's a simplification of everything we're going through:
You plus me is bad news
But you're a lovely creation, and I like to think that I am too
My friend said I look better without you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Tongue tied and twisted
Go on, baby, and go to my head
[Chorus]
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay, it ain't gonna be easy
Okay, we'll do it your way
But this is the last time, ah
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
("What?")
Love on the rocks
[Verse 3]
You love the chase, but hate me for the runaround
We're both just tired of the whole thing, oh
And you tell me what you want you need
You know you have to have
And I just pretend I'm listening
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Too tired this time
To deal with old suits you wear
Your ties that won't bind
[Chorus]
Baby, baby believe me
If I stay this ain't gonna be easy
Okay, we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
[Bridge]
Hot as hell, cold as ice
Sip it slow, 'cause it so nice
Dull's my senses, drives my pain
But I'd do it again
Burns a bit to the touch
Dangerous if it's too much
If this bottle could talk
Love on the rocks, yeah
[Chorus]
Ok, baby, baby, baby, baby
Believe me
You'll here the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
[Verse 1 – "Bennie and the Jets"]
Hey kids, shake it loose together
(The spotlight's hitting something)
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
Gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound yeah
[Chorus – "Bennie and the Jets"]
Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Oh baby they're so stressed out
Bennie and the Jets
'Cause they're weird an they're wonderful
Oh, Bennie, she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know you read it in a magazine
[Outro]
Oh! Bennie and the Jets
Bennie On The Rocks
(Or something like that)
Bennie smokes rocks
("Probably")
'Cause it was the seventies
We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
Don't think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine
Love of mine
Still I got nothing to show for it
