Lyrics for singles by ZZ Top
Gimme All Your Lovin
I Thank You
I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide
Cheap Sunglasses
Got Me Under Pressure
Sharp Dressed Man
Legs
Tush
Pearl Necklace
I got to have a shot of what you got, it's oh so sweet
You got to make it hot, like a boomerang I need a repeat
Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too
Gimme all your lovin', don't let up until we're through
You got to whip it up and hit me like a ton of lead
If I blow my top will you let it go to your head?
Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too
Gimme all your lovin', don't let up until we're through
You got to move it up and use it like a screwball would
You got to pack it up, work it like a new boy should
Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too
Gimme all your lovin', don't let up until we're through
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you
But you took your love to someone else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for help
You didn't have to squeeze it but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to hold it but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you
Every day was something new
You put on your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you
You didn't have to shake it but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to make it like you did
but you did but you did
And I thank you
All my life I've been shortchanged
Without your love baby it's a crying shame
But now I know what the fellas talking about
Hear me say that they been turned out
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Yes, I want to thank you
Well I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel
I had a bluesman in the back, and a beautician at the wheel
We're going downtown in the middle of the night
We was laughing and I'm jokin' and we feelin' alright
Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide
Yes I'm bad, I'm nationwide
Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back
They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heeled shoes
They smokin' Lucky Strikes, wearing nylon too
Welcome back, we're nationwide
Yeah we bad, we're nationwide
Well I was movin' down the road in my V-8 Ford
I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered
With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed
Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made
I'm bad, I'm nationwide
Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide
When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that street a-runnin' and try to meet the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I spot a little thing and I followed her all night
In a funky pair of levis and her sweater's kind of tight
She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molases
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
(solo)
Now go out and get yourself some thick black frames
With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes
Rhinestone shades and cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
She likes wearin' lipstick, she likes French cuisine
but she won't let me use my passion unless it's in a limousine
She got me under pressure
she got me under pressure
She likes the art museum, she don't like Pavlov's dog
She fun at the mind museum, she likes it in a London fog
She don't like other women, she likes whips and chains
She likes cocaine and filppin' out with great Danes
She's about all I can handle, it's too much for my brain
It's got me under pressure
It's got me under pressure
I'm gonna give her a message
here's what I'm gonna say:
"It's all over."
She might get out a nightstick
and hurt me real real bad
by the roadside in a ditch
It's got me under pressure
it's got me under pressure
It's got me under pressure
it's got me under pressure
Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie
I don't need a reason why
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man
Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' a single thing
And cufflinks, stick pin
when I step out I'm gonna do you in
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man
Top coat, top hat
I don't worry coz my wallet's fat
Black shades, white gloves
lookin' sharp and lookin' for love
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
coz every girl grazy 'bout a sharp dressed man
She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to coose them
She's holdin' leg wonderin' how to feel them
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
She's my baby, she's my baby
yeah, it's alright
She's got hair down to her fanny
She's kinda jet set, try undo her panties
Everytime she's dancin' she knows what to do
Everybody wants to see if she can use it
She's so fine, she's all mine
girl, you got it right
She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She's got a dime all of the time
stays out at night movin' through time
Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her
the girl is alright, she's alright
I been up, I been down
Take my word, my way around
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush
I been bad, I been good
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush
Take me back way back home
not by myself, not alone
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush
She's really upset with me again
I didn't give her what she likes
I don't know what to tell her
Don't know what to say
Everything got funky last night
She was really bombed
And I was really blown away
Until I asked her what she wanted
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
She gets a charge out of bein' so weird
Digs gettin' downright strange
But I can keep a handle on anything
Just this side of deranged
She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she held it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
She is so tough, as pure as the driven slush
And that's not true what she's talkin' about
It really don't cost that much
She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she took it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
