Lyrics

DEMOLITION DERBY

Donna wore her new satin dress to the dance
And tommy's feeling foolish in polyester pants
As two young people take that ride called romance
But things ain't going like tommy planned
Cause tonight, donna's gonna tell him it's all over
Tonight ,tommy swore that he was gonna show her
How much he really cared

Love's a demolition derby a sight to behold
As you wreck your heart and crash your soul
You'll be driving by, real nice nice and slow
When love comes along and knocks you cold

Oh jane didn't know nothing about making love
She just knew she wasn't supposed to give it up
But there's a certain boy jane's been dreaming of
And there ain't no telling what jane'll do for love
Cause tonight, he's gonna say every word she want's to hear
Yeah he'll be whispering lies in her little ears
But tomorrow the phone won't ring

Love's a demolition derby a sight to behold
As you wreck your heart and crash your soul
You'll be driving by, real nice nice and slow
When love comes along and knocks you cold

You can steer to the left, you can veer to the right
But love's gonna hit you, ain't no use in even trying
Slam on the brakes, pull over to the side
But there's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide

Well now eddie loved sue more than he loved himself
He spent all his money, put his pride on the shelf
Tonight eddie got down on one knee
And said suzie baby, will you marry me?
But tonight, sue said eddie, you're a strong and handsome man
I know girls who would die to have a chance
But you're just not the one for me

Repeat chorus
