My life's an open book You read it on the radio We got nowhere to hide We got nowhere to go But if you still decide That you want to take a ride Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight I see your smokey eyes Right across the bar I've seen that look before Shining from star to star Though I can't take that chance If you got time for one dance Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight The restless line of cars Goes stretchin' down the road But I won't telephone 'Cause you might say hello What is it makes me feel this way What is it makes me want to say Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight [Summer Songs version] You drown yourself in booze And party through the night You think the time is wrong But the time is right And what you can’t face yourself You dump on someone else and you say Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight You always disappear To see if anyone cares But this time it don’t work And they all leave you there And when you come back to town She’s not around and you say Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight The endless line of cars Go stretchin' down the road But you won't telephone 'Cause she might say hello And she knows where you're at And you can’t handle that, and I say You don’t need a wrecking ball Wrecking ball The only crime in the street Is walking in your feet
