I like it    I don't like it

I've got my eye on top shelf liquor,

With taste so smooth it

Hits you quicker.

But you've only got the well.

And I've got an eye for top tier women

With legs so long they go straight to heaven,

But this old bunch looks like hell.

But tonight I'll take what I can get.

I'd like to hear a great musician

With strange ideas and grand ambitions,

But this guy, he's got trouble with chords.

And I'd like to leave this game a winner

Head held high, the luck of beginners

But this old losers crawling out on all fours.

But tonight I'll take what I can get.

Well this drink will do,

And girl you look alright,

And this band is playing like hell tonight.

These dice are loaded

And Lord I am too

I might be losing but I'm leaving soon.

With the prettiest girl

To enter this dump,

She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum

And tonight I'll take what I can get

Tonight I'll take what I can get

I've got my sights on brand new beginnings

Brand new starts make saints of sinners

But I'm doomed to live in my past

Live nude girls says the sign out front,

But old dead dreams are dancing in front,

Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck,

Buyin' love for cash

Well tonight I'll take what I can get.

This old story gets stale and dry,

No matter how I try and try

To spin this fable

Fresh and new

You strung me along

Like a tease on prom night

Getting me loose but

Leaving me uptight

Please tell me that

Some of that love was true.

Tonight I'll take what I can get -a
