Lyrics Billy Squier – Hand–Me–Downs
Text:
Look to your left—look to your right
Look to yourself—look for a fight
If looks could kill, I’d be dead on sight
Oo yea—you’re dynamite
Foolin’ yourself—never think twice
Everything goes—keep me on ice
You kind of love cuts me down like a knife
I see your demons marchin’ into my life
Don’t want your hand-me-downs
Play it all wrong—say it’s all right
Play it too strong—play it too tight
Take it too far—do it in spite
Oo yea—you’re such a fright
(spirit lives on) in the past
(passion ignites) you been movin’
(movers move on) much too fast
(soldiers must fight) shakin’ me up—move to indict
We’re bound to lose when you start to fight
I see your secrets steppin’ into the light
Don’t want your hand-me-downs
Say it’s all wrong—say it’s good night
Say it’s so long—take a big bite
Say what you will—say it just right
Oo yea—get out of sight
(gonna hang tough) oo yea
(gonna hang tight) should I lose ya
(ya wanna play rough) I don’t care
(we’ll do it up right)
I read the news…i seen the light
Get me my ticket and I’m outa sight
Don’t want your hand-me-downs
Look to your left—look to your right
Look at yourself—take a big bite
