Love on the Rocks / Bennie & The Jets Lyrics

We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
I don′t think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise, I worked so hard for this love of mine, love of mine
And still I got nothing to show for it
Here's a simplification of everything we′re going through
You plus me is bad news
But you're a lovely creation, I like to think that I am too
My friends said I look better without you, yeah
I'm tongue-tied and twisted
Go on, baby, go to my head

Babe, baby, believe me
If I stay, this ain′t gonna be easy
Okay, we′ll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound
Of love coming down
What? Love on the rocks

You love the chase, but hate me for the runaround
We′re both just tired of the whole thing, oh
And you tell me what you want, you need, you know you have to have
And I just pretend I'm listening
I′m too tired this time
To deal with old suits you wear, your ties that won't bind

Babe, baby, believe me
If I stay, this ain′t gonna be easy
Okay, we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound
Of love coming down

Hot as hell, cold as ice
Sip it slow ′cause it′s so nice
Dulls my senses, drives my pain
But I'd do it again
Burns a bit to the touch
Dangerous if it′s too much
If this bottle could talk
Love on the rocks, yeah

Okay, baby, baby, baby, baby, believe me
You'll hear the beautiful sound
Of love coming down
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The fighting′s something that's been known to change the weather
We′ll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around
You're gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound, yeah

Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Oh baby, they're so stressed out
B-B-B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
′Cause they′re weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie, she′s really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know you read it in a magazine, oh

Bennie and the Jets

Bennie on the rocks
Or something like that
Bennie smokes rocks
Probably

′Cause it was the '70s
