Ah, Warrant

Listining to my mp3 player, wishing it were an ipod, but shuffling songs, and up comes this oldie ...

Lisa don't think she's pretty no more,
Starin at the stars through a backstreet door,
She tries and tries to make it all work out,
No matter what she does,
She's left standin in the middle of doubt,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin rain,
You can count on me,

Sometimes she cries,
When shes alone at night,
Sometimes she weaps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
It just tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, I wonder why,

Lisa don't have a lover no more,
Plays with her pillow,
Stares at the bedroom floor,
Used to have a million,
They've come and gone,
No matter what she does,
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin rain,

Sometimes she cries,
In the middle of the night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,

Ooh, yeah,
Liven, loven, given everything you've got,
After all the heartache,
Maybe give it all just one more shot yeah,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin rain,
The only thing I really wanna know is why,

Sometimes she cries,
In the middle of the night,
Sometimes she weaps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries.....

I used to LOVE Warrant in High School (since their first two albums came out then) ... boy I'm old. And then my freshman year of college I saw Warranrt, Firehouse and Trixter in the gym at the college. It was SO hot people were pushed up against the stage and people were passing out of heat exhaustion. When we were trying to leave, people were pushing and shoving and trying to get out, and someone bumped into me, I looked up and there was Janie Lane. He said "hey sorry, I'm looking for someone" .. and that was about the extent of it. Don't you love how music can take you back?
