Signing off this faded love tonight
Stepping out in style
Got you cheating on my mind
Got my finger in the dial
I think I need another drink
Let's go down to the bar
Loosen up before I start to sink
Please don't ask me why I do it
It's the same old step from the same old shoe
But if the customers like it they'll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking they'll end up staying
If you try a little harder I know that you can play
Just like a jukebox
Empty glasses are drained and stacked
The band is playing and the floor is packed
It's the same old singer
It's the same old beat
He trades his peace of mind for another piece of meat
Please don't ask me why I do it
It's the same old step from the same old shoe
But if the customers like it they'll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking they'll end up staying
If you try a little harder I know that you can play
Just like a jukebox
Bar is closing and the band is drunk
Picked up the drummer and they put him in a trunk
Barman says it's getting late
You better make it to the door
The one that I had over the eight seems less like one and more like four
Please don't ask me why I do it
It's the same old step from the same old shoe
But if the customers like it they'll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking they'll end up staying
If you try a little harder I know that you can play
Just like a jukebox
Just like a jukebox
Just like a jukebox
