MEAT LOAF: Every night I grab some money
and I go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer,
I got a dream, I need a car

You got me begging on my knees,
c'mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone
Baby baby, baby baby

BOTH: Rock 'n roll and brew,
rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
when I compare 'em next to you

Rock 'n roll and brew,
rock 'n roll and brew
I know that you
and I we got better things to do

I don't know who you are or what you do,
or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby,
but you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are,
but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love

CHER: Ever since I can remember you
been hanging 'round this joint
You been trying to look away
but now you finally got the point

I don't have to know your name
and I won't tell you what to do
But a girl she doesn't live
by only rock 'n roll and brew
Baby baby, baby baby

BOTH: Rock 'n roll and brew,
rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
when I compare 'em next to you

Rock 'n roll and brew,
rock 'n roll and brew
I know that you
and I we got better things to do

I don't know who you are or what you do,
or where you go when you're not around
I don't know anything about you baby,
but you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are,
but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love

MEAT LOAF: Ooh you got the kind of legs that do more than walk
CHER: I don't have to listen to your whimpering talk
MEAT LOAF: Listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
CHER: you got a lotta nerve to come on to me
MEAT LOAF: You got the kind of lips that do more than drink
CHER: You got the kind of mind that does less than think

But since I'm feeling kinda lonely and my defenses are low
Why don't we give it a shot and get it ready to go
I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
I want to tell my daddy I'll be missing in action
Ever since I can remember I've been hanging 'round this joint
My daddy never noticed, now he'll finally get the point

BOTH: You got me beggin' on my knees,
c'mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by rock 'n roll and brew alone
Baby baby, baby, baby

Rock 'n roll and brew,
rock 'n roll and brew
I know that you
and I we got better things to do

Rock 'n roll and brew,
rock 'n roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
when I compare 'em next to you

MEAT LOAF: I don't know who you are
CHER: Or what you do,
MEAT LOAF: Or where you go when you're not around
CHER: I don't know anything about you baby,
BOTH: but you're everything I'm dreaming of
CHER: I don't know who you are,
MEAT LOAF: but you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love

Dead ringer for love
