Some dreams have faded, some friends are gone
Most nights i find myself walking alone
I used to think i had it all figured out
I still wake up with my head full of doubt

I've been around and around and around again
I've been hangin' around and waitin' in vain
I've been kissed and kicked out in the light of the day
And sometimes i don't even know me
I'm so gone, i feel no shame
I'm tired of these losers tryin' to put out my flame
And i know that i don't belong
Don't look for me 'cause i'm so gone

Swept through the wreckage of all that i've been
You can't see the damage but you know what i mean
The misfit in 212 is singin' for free
What the radio plays don't mean nothin' to me

I've been around and around and around again
I've been hangin' around and waitin' in vain
I've been kissed and kicked out in the light of day
And sometimes i don't even know me

I'm so gone, i feel no shame
I'm tired of these losers tryin' to put out my flame
And i know that i don't belong
Don't look for me 'cause i'm so gone

Sometimes i don't even know
Sometimes i don't even care
Sometimes i don't want to know

So i'm leavin', i don't give a damn
There ain't nobody gonna kill who i am
I know that i don't belong
Don't look for me, i am so gone

Well he caught her doin' 90 at the top of a hill
He called out, "get over, now who you tryin' to kill"
Oh she caught her reflection in a mirror on his face
In her k-mart collection of leather and lace
They followed the directions to the letter of the law
And in a turn of events she told him, "up against the wall"
She took a look around and said, "can't you feel the danger?"
Baby won't you be my texas ranger

Callin' help please
Won't somebody rescue me
I'll be around now, don't be a stranger
I just wanna be your texas ranger

He said my momma calls me sonny but you can call me ray
I bring love to justice, i'm in it for the game
With a black-belt in flirtation she put him to the test
So they made a reservation in the wild, wild west
And they heard him call as she fell into favor
Baby won't you be my texas ranger

Callin' help please
Lock me up and lose the key
Well the arms of the law getcha sooner or later
Baby won't you be my texas ranger

Oh save me texas
I want you to help me, help me
Damsel in distress
Oooh, i'm all out of breath
And i'm in a cold sweat, yeah

Callin' help please
Lock me up and lose the key
Gonna shoot out the lights, wake up the neighbors
Baby won't you be my texas ranger

Take me, take me, take me to texas baby
Won't you be my texas ranger
I just wanna be your texas ranger

We spent all night down by the riverside
Laughin' at nothing and talking too much
And the moonlight was so bright in your eyes
Before i knew it, i was falling in love

It was too cold to swim so we just lay there
On the bank, 'til the break of day
And though we never went in the water
Oh darling, we were swept away

And the river rolled and the night got cold
But you held me close and you warmed my soul

And we spent all night down by the riverside
Wonderin' how it happened so fast
And it sure did take us by surprise
When that morning sun it came up at last

It was too cold to swim so we just lay there
On the bank, 'til the break of day
And though we never went in the water
Deep down, we were swept away

And the river rolled and the night got cold
But you held me closed and you warmed my soul
And we spent all night down by the riverside

Oooh baby

It was too cold to swim so we just lay there
On the bank, 'til the break of day
And though we never went in the water
Oh darling, we were swept away
Though we never went in the water
We were swept away

We were swept away
