Everyones life is bittersweet
It’s a door that opens wide
And no man can call himself complete
Till he’s seen it from both sides
This door swings both ways
It’s marked ‘In’ and ‘Out’
Some days you’ll want to cry
And some days you will shout
This door swings both ways
It goes back and forth
In comes a southern breeze
Or a cold wind from the north
This door swings both ways
Lets in joy and pain
In comes the morning sun
And then the evening rain
This door swings both ways
Lets in dark and light
Every day you make the choice
To let in wrong or right
When shadows fall
You must prepare yourself for sunshine
For everything there is an end
And so my friend you must be brave
This door swings both ways
Which one will it be
Will we live in happiness
Or dwell in misery
This door swings both ways
Lets in earth and sky
Make the most of livin’
If you’re not prepared to die
Make the most of livin’
If you’re not prepared to die

Well, Annie’s pretty neat, she always eats her meat
Joe is awful strong, bet your life he’s putting us on
Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know I need some loving
Oh move me, touch me

John, I’m only dancing
She turns me on, but I’m only dancing
She turns me on, don’t get me wrong
I’m only dancing

Oh shadow love was quick and clean, life’s a well-thumbed machine
I saw you watching from the stairs, you’re everyone that ever cared
Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know I need some loving
Move me, touch me

John, I’m only dancing
She turns me on, but I’m only dancing
She turns me on, but don’t get me wrong
I’m only dancing

John, I’m only dancing
She turns me on, but I’m only dancing
She turns me on, but don’t get me wrong
I’m only dancing

Dancing
Won’t someone dance with me?
Touch me, Ohhh!

She’s got girls
girls all over the world
She’s got a man
every now and then

But she can’t make up her mind
just how to fill her time but the only way to unwind

A.C.D.C.
She got some other lover as well as me
A.C.D.C.
She got some other woman as well as me
She got some other woman as well as me

She’s got girls
but the colour all gone
She can sing
you wanna hear her

Well let’s be in it together
I guess she’ll be in it forever
She’s got a ticket no I never

A.C.D.C.
She got some other lover as well as me
A.C.D.C.
She got some other woman as well as me
She got some other woman as well as me

repeat
A.C.D.C.
She got some other lover as well as me
A.C.D.C.
She got some other woman as well as me
She got some other woman as well as me

You used to live in New York City
Then you moved to L.A.
But you still miss the streets
Where you used to play

So you hurry on back there
(Even) Leave your pool and your car
Only to find you no longer belong
Fool don’t you know what you are

Hit the streets at midnight
Still dancing after dawn
But something seems to be missing
Just what are you running from

Do you like your love in the dark
Or laid out in the sun
When you just can’t make up your mind
Don’t you know what you’ve become

Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city
Bi-coastal, California’s fine if you’re pretty

You can always hear me singing
Oh say can you see
From the towers of Manhattan
To the hills of Beverly

All those girls in TV movies
All those boys on Broadway
When you can’t make up your mind
You know you’d go either way

Bi-coastal, miss the natural speed of the city
Bi-coastal, California’s fine if you’re pretty
Bi-coastal, when both are so much fun
Why do you have to pick one

Day after day I’ve been living in dread
Cheating at work and lying in bed
No hard feelings, just a bit of regret
I could have been lying in your arms instead
I’m glad that I married and I love my kids
I wish I’d never met you — but I’m glad that I did

Now I’m sitting in the middle
Trying to fit in more lives than one

Day after day I’ve been slipping away
Playing the games I don’t want to play
Sooner or later there’s a reckoning day
I’m so, so sorry, but what can I say?
I feel like a heel, but I can’t decide
Between the life I always wanted
and the loving that I like

So I’m sitting in the middle
and it’s hitting more lives than one
It’s a bitter situation
And it’s taken more lives than one

When I was a young girl like normal girls do
I looked to a woman’s love to help get me through
I never needed any more than a feminine touch
I hated the thought of kissing a man it really was too much
I did not drink, I did not smoke I did not say “goddamn”
I was polite I was sensitive before I loved a man
My family, they were proud of me were proud of what I am
But then along came Lester and my tell of woe began
(Chorus)
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
It was June 1983 when Mary Lou and I did part
She said she loved another dyke my god, it broke my heart
I was bitter and disillusioned to lose another girlfriend
Lester came to work at Papa’s store and decided to ease on in
Before my last heartbreak nothing made me more sick
Than a hairy-chested, cheap double-breasted suited man with a hard dick
I guess that I was courios I guess that I was young
I guess it was that rum and coke I guess that I was dumb
(Chorus)
For of course, for a woman to love a man she must also love to booze
If a woman don’t drink beside her man then she will surely lose him
As I sit in this hetero honky-tonk and reflect upon my past
I think about those girlfriends and why they didn’t last
For there’s certain thrills that lesbian love simply cannot supply
Like paying for abortions from sperm gone awry
And so I say to you my friends without this man I’d die
So listen to my tell of woe and hang your head and cry
(Chorus)
