ZZ Top - Eliminator Lyrics






Gimme All Your Lovin

I got to have a shot of what you got is oh so sweet.
You got to make it hot, like a boomerang I need a repeat,

Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too,
Gimme all your lovin', don't let up until we're through,

You got to whip it up and hit me like a ton of lead,
If I blow my top will you let it go to your head?

Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too,
Gimme all your lovin', don't let up until we're through.

You got to move it up and use it like a scrweball would.
You got to pack it up, work it like a new boy should.

Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too.
Gimme all your lovin', don't let up until we're through.

Got Me Under Pressure

She likes wearin' lipstick, she likes french cuisine
But she won't let me use my passion unless it's in a limousine.

She got me under pressure,
She got me under pressure.

She likes the art museum, she don't like pavlov's dog.
She fun at the mind museum, she likes it in a london fog.
She don't like other women, she likes whips and chains.
She likes cocaine and filppin' out with great danes.
She's about all I can handle, it's too much for my brain.

It's got me under pressure,
It's got me under pressure.

I'm gonna give her a message,
Here's what I'm gonna say:
It's all over.
She might get out a nightstick
And hurt me real real bad
By the roadside in a ditch.

It's got me under pressure,
It's got me under pressure.

It's got me under pressure,
It's got me under pressure.

Sharp Dressed Man

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie (black tie)
I don't need a reason why

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' not a single thing
Cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out, I'm gonna do you in
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Top coat, top hat
But I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat
Black shades, white gloves
Lookin' sharp, lookin' for love

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

I Need You Tonight

It's three o'clock in the morning
And the rain begin to fall
But I know what I'm needin
But I don't have it all.
I'm needin someone like you
That I just wanna do love to.
Baby, baby, I need you tonight.

Outside my window
It's lonely and cold.
Inside my heart there's a fire
Burning out of control.
Burning for someone like you
I just wanna do love to.
Baby, baby, I need you tonight.

Your love's coming to me
Like a wolf howling at the moon
But that just doesn't do me
If I can't get you soon.
I'm calling for someone like you
That I just wanna do love to.
Baby, baby, I need you tonight.

I Got The Six

Living room, passing time, talking trash, sipping wine,
I need something more substantial.
New deck of playing cards, I don't like to work this hard,
I think I'll have to cancel.

I'm running out of time,
I'm about to lose my mind.
I got the six,
Gimme your nine.

Slow hand on the clock, I'm sitting here like a rock,
I'm feeling so abnormal.
Pictures in the magazines, all my thoughts are so obscene.
Cover up that centerfold.

I'm running out of time,
I'm about to lose my mind.
I got the six,
Gimme your nine.

Look at this, what a pair, she won't let me touch her there,
She's so discriminating.
This is weird, it's time to blow, I just heard the rooster crow.
I guess I'll have to spank my monkey.

I'm running out of time,
I'm about to lose my mind.
I got the six,
Gimme your nine.

Legs

She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She only lets you wonder how to feel them
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
She's my baby, she's my baby
Yeah, that's alright
Oh yeah

She's got her hair down to her fanny
She's got a dress slit right up to her panties
Everytime she's dancin' she knows what to do
Everybody wants to see, see if she can use it
She's so fine, she's all mine
Girl, you got it right

She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She's got a dime all of the time
Stays out at night movin' through time
Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her
The girl is alright, she's alright

Thug

You look like who you say you are
So scoot over let me drive your car
Roll down the glass and give me some wind
Lock all the doors I'm on the loose again alright!

I haven't sat behind a wheel like this
Since that job in 1956
Can't wait till I can do it again
Can't keep my nose clean livin' in sin alright!

I had a friend down in alcatraz
He had the money and machine guns stashed
We busted out june 21
We gonna rob, steal totin' our guns alright!

TV Dinners

Tv dinners there's nothin' else to eat
Tv dinners they really can't be beat
I like 'em frozen but you understand
I throw 'em in and wave 'em and I'm a brand new man oh yeah!

Tv dinners they're goin' to my head
Tv dinners my skin is turnin' red
Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin
I can't wait until tomorrow.... And thaw one out again oh yeah!

Tv dinners I'm feelin' kinda rough
Tv dinners this one's kinda tough
I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too
I even like the chicken if.... The sauce is not too blue.

And they're mine, all mine, oh yeah
And they sure are fine.
Gotta have 'em
Gimme somethin' now.

Dirty Dog

Hey baby, watcha gonna do?
Now that i've left you and I said we're through
All along you been runnin' round
But You Ain't The Only Game In Town

I dug your brush and your ass was fine
I dug your jelly and your mighty mind
But you rubbed it on another guy
You're history and this is why
You're just a dog a scurvy dog

Hey baby, when we got it on
You made me feel like there ain't nothin' wrong
Just don't bug me like you're so naive
I'm crackin' up, I'm gonna take my leave

I dug your brush and your ass was fine
I dug your jelly and your mighty mind
But you rubbed it on another guy
You're history and this is why
You're just a dog

Hey baby well it's over now,
I'll make my exit and I'll take a bow
Your problem's cured with a dollar bill
And if it won't I know a flea collar will

I dug your brush and your ass was fine
I dug your jelly and your mighty mind
But you rubbed it on another guy
You're history and this is why
You're just a dog a scurvy dog.
Arf! Arf!

Hey! Get that dog out of my yard!

If I Could Only Flag Her Down

I don't need her money
I don't need a ride
I got enough connections
I don't need a piece of her hide

I just wanna please her
I just wanna squeeze her
I just wanna crash her
I just wanna trash her
If I could only flag her down
If I could only flag her down

Well, it's not because of her beauty
And her brand new low cut blouse.
It's not because she's so snooty
Or a fine famed millionaire.

It's not 'cause she's in motion
In a brand new cadillac car
It's not because of her lotion
She's a real sweet candy bar

I just want to meet her
I just want to squeeze her
I just want to crash her
I just want to trash her
If I could only flag her down!
If I could only flag her down!

Bad Girl

See that girl with the red dress on,
She can do it all night long,
She's a bad girl, she's a bad girl.
I know a girl that likes to flirt,
She can do it in a mini skirt.
She's a bad girl, she's a bad girl.
Ain't it a shame when a girl goes bad,
It's enough to drive you mad.

Yesterday I was playin' it cool
But she played me for a first class fool,
She's a bad girl, she's a bad girl.
I'm gonna tell you like I told some friends
I'm goin' back to dig her again.
She's a bad girl, she's a bad girl.
Ain't it a shame when a girl goes bad,
It's enough to drive you mad.

I know a girl with a gto,
She's the one that go cat go,
She's a bad girl, she's a bad girl.
See the girl dressed in green,
She's the one that's a mean machine,
She's a bad girl, she's a bad girl.
Ain't it a shame when a girl goes bad,
It's enough to drive you mad.

Back to: ZZ Top


Eliminator is the eighth studio album by American rock band ZZ Top. It was released on March 23, 1983, by Warner Bros. Records, and rose high on the charts in many countries. Four hit singles were released—"Gimme All Your Lovin'" which reached the American Top 40, "Sharp Dressed Man", "TV Dinners" and their most successful single, "Legs". Eliminator is ZZ Top's most commercially successful release, with sales of 11 million and diamond certification in the US.

Since El Loco in 1981, the bandleader, Billy Gibbons, had been moving ZZ Top's boogie and blues rock style towards the popular new wave style. For Eliminator, he increased the tempo and used more synthesizers and drum machines, producing a "tighter" album with a steady, driving beat. The pre-production engineer Linden Hudson collaborated with Gibbons in Texas on the tempo and songs. The producer Bill Ham and the engineer Terry Manning joined Gibbons in Memphis, Tennessee, to edit the songs, replacing much of the contributions of bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard. Ham claimed the album was solely the work of ZZ Top, but in 1986 Hudson won a lawsuit establishing himself as composer of the song "Thug".

Music videos for "Gimme All Your Lovin'", "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs" received regular rotation on MTV and helped ZZ Top gain popularity with a younger base. A customized 1933 Ford coupe, depicted on the album cover, appeared in the videos. Following Eliminator's release, ZZ Top embarked on a worldwide concert tour.

The video for "Legs" earned the band the MTV Video Music Award for Best Group. Rolling Stone named Eliminator number 398 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was listed at number 39 in The 100 Greatest Albums of the 80s, and it was also included in Robert Dimery's book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. A remastered version was released in 2008.
