RIDE ALONG

WHEN YOU MET HER SHE WAS ON THE EDGE
AND YOU NEVER ASKED HER NAME
SHE REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW YOU
SHE THOUGHT YOU WERE MORE OF JUST THE SAME

YOU WERE HEADED HOME TO BROOKLYN
AND SHE WASN'T GOING DOWN
BUT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO BE ALONE
SO SHE TOOK THE RIDE ALONG

IT MUST HAVE BEEN WHEN YOU WERE ALMOST PASSING SMITH AND NINTH
THAT HER HEAD HAD TILTED TOWARD YOU AND SHE MADE HER MOTIVES CLEAR

SHE WOULD KEEP YOU COMPANY 
AND HER PRICE WAS JUST A SONG
THE MELODY WAS UP TO YOU
BUT SHE WOULD HAVE TO SING ALONG

SHE WASN'T MUCH FOR TRA LA LA
SHE LIKED MEAT ON HER BONES
BUT IF IT HAD THAT SHA LA LA
BETWEEN YOUR STICKS AND STONES
SHE WOULD BELT OUT EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU HAD TO SAY
AND SHE WOULD SHANG-A-LANG WITH YOU
'CAUSE SHE ALWAYS MOVED THAT WAY

YOU SHOWED HER ALL YOU HAD AND SHE TURNED YOUR INSIDE OUT
SHE TOOK YOUR INHIBITIONS AND EXPOSED THEM TO THE LIGHT
SHE GOT THE BETTER OF YOU 
AND IT LASTED ALL THE NIGHT
SHE'D GOTTEN ON THAT TRAIN WITH YOU
AND RODE IT TO THE LIGHT

SHE WASN'T MUCH FOR TRA LA LA
SHE LIKED MEAT ON HER BONES
BUT IF IT HAD THAT SHA LA LA
BETWEEN YOUR STICKS AND STONES
SHE WOULD BELT OUT EVERY WORD YOU HAD TO SAY
AND SHE WOULD SHANG-A-LANG WITH YOU
'CAUSE SHE ALWAYS MOVED THAT WAY

SHE SHOWED YOU ALL SHE HAD AND SHE TURNED YOUR INSIDE OUT 
SHE TOOK HER INHIBITIONS AND EXPOSED THEM TO THE LIGHT
SHE GOT THE BETTER OF YOU AND IT LASTED ALL THE NIGHT
SHE'D GOTTEN ON THAT TRAIN WITH YOU AND TOOK IT TO THE LIGHT

SHE WASN'T MUCH FOR TRA LA LA
SHE LIKED MEAT ON HER BONES
BUT IF IT HAD THAT SHA LA LA
BETWEEN YOUR STICKS AND STONES
SHE WOULD BELT OUT EVERY WORD YOU HAD TO SAY
AND SHE WOULD SHANG-A-LANG WITH YOU
'CAUSE SHE ALWAYS MOVED THAT WAY
