Runnin' for the Red Light (I Gotta Life) Songtext
von Meat Loaf

Madder than a madman and bored to the c-c-core
Minute hand crawling, can′t take it anymore
Future's up the highway, you gotta get away
Gonna take a little trip and find a Tijuana stray

I got the time to take it
I got the balls to break it
Gotta car that′ll make it
South of the border, don't drink the water

Gonna have a good time tonight
Crazy from the heat and runnin' for the red light
Oh señorita, have two tequila
Love seeker, Lord the will is gettin′ weaker

Gonna have a good time tonight
Burnin′ with the fever and runnin' for the red light
She ain′t a teacher, she ain't a preacher
Just so close to holy that you′re runnin' just to reach her


Time bomb is tickin′, my head's about to bust
Need some personal attention or I swear I'm gonna rust
Gonna find a little place, no one will tell you what to do
Tell her I′m a rebel, she says, "Yeah, without a clue"

Just need some understanding
A girl who ain′t demanding
Who ain't afraid to fake it, south of the border
Don′t drink the water

Gonna have a good time tonight
Crazy from the heat and runnin' for the red light
Oh señorita, have two tequila
Love seeker, Lord the will is gettin′ weaker

Gonna have a good time tonight
Burnin' with the fever and runnin′ for the red light
She ain't a teacher, she ain't a preacher
Just so close to holy that you′re running just to reach her

Need some understanding
A girl who ain′t demanding
A little bad behavior, she's gonna be my savior
My knees are shakin′, my back is breakin'
Oh mamma mia, a señorita


Gonna have a good time tonight
Crazy from the heat and runnin′ for the red light
Oh señorita, have three tequila
Love seeker, Lord the will is gettin' weaker

Gonna have a good time tonight
Burnin′ with the fever and runnin' for the red light
She ain't a teacher, she ain′t a preacher
Just so close to holy that you′re runnin' just to reach her

Gonna have a good time tonight
Crazy from the heat and runnin′ for the red light
Oh señorita, have some tequila
Need sneakers, Lord the will is gettin' weaker

Gonna have a good time tonight
Burnin′ with the fever and runnin' for the red light
Just heard the bell, that got me outta hell
I got a girl, I got a life
