lyrics

Willie and Nilli had a stereo
Willie built that beautiful thing
They’d crank Metallica up real loud
Jump around the room and sing
Sing from their hearts, from their throats
Sing at the top of their lungs
Till the neighbors from all sides complained
To the cops who’d never come

They’d be singing
Love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved
Singing, love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved

They drank all night and they slept all day
In that Polk Street SRO
When the sun went down
They crushed some ice
Ordered Chinese to go
And turned that stereo again real loud
Singing at the top of their lungs
Till the neighbors got the broomsticks out
Called the cops who’d never come

They’d be singing
Love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved
Singing, love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved

Nilli said, “I had a body once
Willie, you have no idea
I could make a grown man bark all night
Anytime, anywhere”
Willie said, “I had a lion’s mane,
Now I sing at the top of my lungs
Till the neighbors get the broomsticks out
And the cops all sing along”

They’d be singing
Love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved
Singing, love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved
Love me like I wanna be loved
