People, I’m here to tell you, I’ve been around since the world began. Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can. I’m an anti-establishment man.
-Reo Speedwagon, Anti Establishment Man

Lay me down. Lay me down when you’re through with me. Lay me down. Let me bleed when you’re through with me.
-Reo Speedwagon, Lay Me Down

Just let me fall down. I’ll pick myself up again. It’s the kindest thing you can do for me. So, woman, won’t you lay me down?
-Reo Speedwagon, Lay Me Down

Educated lady with your college degree, amazes me why you just can’t see. Learned ev’rything from your books on the shelf, but no one ever taught you how to think for yourself.
-Reo Speedwagon, Sophisticated Lady

Well, it’s gonna be awhile before I get home. But when I do, that’s the end of my roamin’. ‘Cause I’ve been gone a lifetime and I can’t believe that the people I trust still can deceive.
-Reo Speedwagon, Let Me Ride

Livin’s just like sleepin’. Why is life not like a dream? Now, the dawn is weepin’; another sunlight sees. Oh, I’ve been here too long now. I got to go outside. Ya people gotta let me ride.
-Reo Speedwagon, Let Me Ride

I’ve been known to love more than one person. And I’ve been shown that bein’ kind can hurt someone sometimes.
-Reo Speedwagon, Being Kind (Can Hurt Someone Sometimes)

Recently, I’ve been thinkin’ about what I am and where my priorities lie. Gettin’ it together on some future plan, decidin’ what I need to get by. I tried workin’ and schoolin’ but there just not my plan. Can’t you see – I’ll always be a music man.
-Reo Speedwagon, Music Man

To be happy you need only be real. So don’t let anyone try to turn your head around. Just remember you are what you feel.
-Reo Speedwagon, Music Man

You see all of my life people been tryin’ to tell me what I am. Can’t you see, I’ll always be a music man, oh yeah!
-Reo Speedwagon, Music Man

Well, I’ve seen women who cross their legs before they sit down to the table. And I’ve seen women who look to the sky, screamin Lord I believe in the Bible. And I’ve seen hookers dancin’ through Times Square with their heads held up so high. But I’ve never seen a woman who makes me feel like you do.
-Reo Speedwagon, Like You Do

Golden country, your face is so red. With all of your money, your poor can be fed. You strut around and you flirt with disaster. Never really carin’ just what comes after.
-Reo Speedwagon, Golden Country

The time has come for you, my friend, to all this ugliness we must put an end. Before we leave we must make a stand.
-Reo Speedwagon, Golden Country

I stumbled around with my eyes half-closed, and curse the sun for being so bright. I hold you close, feel your warmth and wonder why. The river of life for you runs right.
-Reo Speedwagon, Whiskey Night

My eyes are aching from the weight on them. The pain of living is such a bore. To make you happy, I must bend for you. But I can’t take it anymore.
-Reo Speedwagon, Whiskey Night

Oh, woman, I need you like I never needed anyone, oh woman, like the morning needs the sun. Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun. I’ll behave, oh woman, ’cause I’m your slave.
-Reo Speedwagon, Oh Woman

My whole life rides on the mood of my lady. Her ups and downs are turning my life around. She’s happy today, it’s like a breath of new life. But tomorrow, her sorrow will tear me down.
-Reo Speedwagon, Oh Woman

Open up, my friend. Love someone if you can. Go on, let her in. Open up again.
-Reo Speedwagon, Open Up

And I hear your mournful songs, I hear your painful cries. And I’ve seen the light of hunger linger deep within your eyes. And you talk about your sinkin’ and what a hole you’re in. You expect for me to love you when you hate yourself, my friend.
-Reo Speedwagon, Open Up

But I used to wonder why people got so excited about movin’ to California. I’ve only been here a week, but I’ve been enlightened to a whole new way of life. And it makes me feel just like movin’.
-Reo Speedwagon, Movin’

You’re gonna go away, start a new life. Forget today, start a new life. Start a new life.
-Reo Speedwagon, Start A New Life

Lookin’ for a love, searchin’ everywhere. I can’t get enough and I don’t really care if it takes a lot of waitin’ ’cause I’ve got the time to spare. It’s gonna take a lot more lovin’. But we got plenty of that around here.
-Reo Speedwagon, It’s Everywhere

Don’t be the man I know with no expressions, lord. Ain’t got none at all. Pity the man I know with no expressions, lord. Ain’t got none at all.
-Reo Speedwagon, Without Expression (Don’t Be The Man)

Well, some people in bound infatuation while some others spell depression as the law. Someone’s mother getting no imagination; so beware then, baby, sin is at everyone’s door.
