Dead ringer for love
Cher/Meatloaf Lyrics

Every night I grab some money and I go down to the bar
I have a routine where I go to the bar at night with some money in hopes of achieving something great.

I got my buddies and a beer, I got a dream, I need a car
My friends and I are drinking and discussing plans for the future; personally, I am dreaming of owning a car.

You got me begging on my knees, c'mon and throw the dog a bone
I am pleading with you, using a metaphor that implies I am like a dog begging for a treat.

A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone
Men cannot subsist on music and alcohol alone; they also need love and companionship.

Rock 'n roll and brew, rock 'n roll and brew
These two things, rock 'n roll music and alcohol, are not very important in comparison to you.

They don't mean a thing when I compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n roll music and alcohol are irrelevant when compared to the importance of you in my life.

I know that you and I we got better things to do
You and I have more important things to do than to waste time with rock 'n roll music and alcohol.

I don't know who you are or what you do, or where you go when you're not around
I don't know much about you, your occupation, or your habits when you are not in my presence.

I don't know anything about you baby, but you're everything I'm dreaming of
Although I don't know much about you, you are exactly what I have been dreaming of.

I don't know who you are, but you're a real dead ringer for love
I may not know who you are, but you are a true match for me when it comes to love and companionship.

Ever since I can remember you been hanging 'round this joint
For as long as I can remember, you have been a regular presence in this place or community.

You been trying to look away but now you finally got the point
You have been attempting to ignore me, but now you understand my intentions.

I don't have to know your name and I won't tell you what to do
I do not require your name, nor will I act controlling towards you.

But a girl, she doesn't live by only rock 'n roll and brew
Women need more than just music and alcohol in their lives to be fulfilled.

You got the kind of legs that do more than walk
Your legs are particularly attractive and have a seductive quality to them.

I don't have to listen to your whimpering talk
You don't need to share your thoughts and feelings if you don't want to; I am still interested in being with you.

Listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
Your eyes are particularly alluring and have a captivating quality to them.

You got a lotta nerve to come on to me
You are very bold to make a move on me.

You got the kind of lips that do more than drink
Your lips are particularly attractive and have a seductive quality to them.

You got the kind of mind that does less than think
I perceive you as someone who is more focused on fun and pleasure rather than deep intellectual thought.

But since I'm feeling kinda lonely, my defenses are low
Because I am feeling lonely, I am more vulnerable and open to your advances.

Why don't you give it a shot and get it ready to go
Why don't you make a move and try to start a relationship with me?

I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
I am looking for a brief and temporary form of satisfaction that doesn't require deeper commitment.

And I want to tell my daddy I'll be missing in action
I am willing to break ties with my parents and other familial obligations to pursue this fleeting satisfaction.

Dead ringer for love
You are the ultimate match for me when it comes to love and companionship.
