If promises were dollars I'd be a millionaire Instead I'm living in squalor And getting skinny and pale You know your phone is always busy Or else you put me on hold I'm getting hungry and dizzy And this is getting real old The postman don't ring twice of my house In fact he don't ring at all No U.P.S. no Federal Express Won't somebody give me a call You say the check's in the mail Is it a lie? The check's in the mail Or just another tall tale Don't tell me baby I've heard it all before The check's in the mail You say the check's in the mail Is it a lie? The check's in the mail Or just another tall tale Don't tell me baby I've heard it all before The check's in the mail You say you'll pay me tomorrow But tomorrow never comes I got nowhere to borrow It's time to get out the guns The light in the tunnel Is just an oncoming train Better listen to the rumble 'Cause it's the calm before the rain The postman don't ring twice of my house In fact he don't ring at all No U.P.S. no Federal Express Won't somebody give me a call You say the check's in the mail Is it a lie? The check's in the mail Or just another tall tale Don't tell me baby I've heard it all before The check's in the mail I look every day 'Cause the check's in the mail Is it a lie? The check's in the mail Or just another tall tale Don't tell me baby I'd really be surprised The check's in the mail The check's in the mail The check's in the mail The check's in the mail The check's in the mail You say the check's in the mail Is it a lie? The check's in the mail Or just another tall tale Don't tell me baby I've heard it all before The check's in the mail You say the check's in the mail I've been knocking 'round your door The check's in the mail I got something in store Don't tell me baby Can't take it no more You say the check's in the mail You say the check's in the mail I'm getting my gun The check's in the mail I'm gonna have me some fun Don't tell me baby Because I've heard it before You say the check's in the mail You say the check's in the mail I'm getting my gun The check's in the mail I'm gonna have me some fun Don't tell me baby Because I've heard it before You say the check's in the mail

I hear there's a party tonight Everybody's out on the town Gonna have the time of my life Everybody's getting on down So hurry up, baby, don't be lazy Let the music drive you crazy Tell me, tell me that you're right tonight Let me know, let me go, let it go Are you ready, are you ready to rock and roll tonight? Say you're ready, say you're ready to rock and roll All night, all night Ooh baby you're in all my dreams Everybody knows my desire You can tell by the way that I scream You set my pants on fire So hurry up, baby, don't be lazy Let the music drive you crazy Are you hot tonight Let me know, let me go, let it go Are you ready, are you ready to rock and roll tonight? Say you're ready, say you're ready to rock and roll All night, all night Are you ready, are you ready to rock and roll tonight? Say you're ready, say you're ready to rock and roll All night Are you ready, are you ready to rock and roll tonight? Say you're ready, say you're ready to rock and roll tonight Are you ready, are you ready to rock and roll tonight? Say you're ready, say you're ready to rock and roll tonight Are you ready, are you ready to rock and roll tonight? Say you're ready, say you're ready to rock and roll All night

I took some foolish chances I'm down to romances Gave you everything I ever had But now I'm feeling oh so bad I had to jump us just o reach the floor Is there anything in store Then crashed into my life like an angel with a knife Didn't run all through the night Now I can't stop missing you I can't stop missing you Sitting by my silent phone I've never felt so all alone Empty fears and lonely tears The lights are on but you're not home I've always had you on my mind You know I'm not the hurtin' kind You're the answer to my prayer our my heart out if you dare Guess you really didn't care Now I can't stop missing you I can't stop missing you No matter what I try to do I can't stand missing you I've pulled a lot of punches I've made some risky hunches Broken promises and broken hearts I made it through the punches But when I got you by my side I can't remember how I cried Gonna take it nice and slow Got my feelings here to show Gonna wait right at your door Cause I can't stand missing you No matter what I try to do I can't stop missing you No matter what I try to do I can't stop missing you
