Lyrics

It was a hot September night.
The moon was out. The stars were in sight.
You wore a light blue top and jeans.
I went and asked you to dance, didn't know where you'd been.
You laid it down and shook your hips,
But when I tried to reach for your lips,
I saw your love was all pretend.
You only boogied with me to get down with my friend.

Well, Hit the Bricks, now, baby, 'cause you took it too far.
I thought you were cool, but now I see what you are.
Yeah, Hit the Bricks, now, honey, 'cause I've had it to here.
You strung me along, so now I'm makin' it clear.
I would have put my head in a vice
To be your lover yesterday,
But now those feelings have died, and love is turning the tide away.
Yeah, yeah, Hit the Bricks.

I gave you everything I had.
No sacrifice too hard or too bad.
I tried with all my mind and soul,
But it was never enough, and now, there's nowhere to go,
And tell me what can one man do?
How much am I supposed to go through?
You had my heart served on a plate.
I would have died for your love, but tonight it's too late.

Well, Hit the Bricks, now, baby, 'cause you took it too far.
I thought you were cool, but now I see what you are.
Yeah, Hit the Bricks, now, honey, 'cause I've had it to here.
You strung me along, so now I'm makin' it clear.
I would have put my head in a vice
To be your lover yesterday,
But now those feelings have died, and love is turning the tide away.
Yeah, yeah, Hit the Bricks.

Well, now, you're staring back at me,
So confident, expecting to see
A man who can't remember when
You made a mess of his head, so you can do it again,
But now, you're in my life once more,
Convinced that a reunion's in store.
You think I'd give you one more chance?
The way you shattered my dreams, you hardly merit a glance.

Well, Hit the Bricks, now, baby, 'cause you took it too far.
I thought you were cool, but now I see what you are.
Yeah, Hit the Bricks, now, honey, 'cause I've had it to here.
You strung me along, so now I'm makin' it clear.
I would have put my head in a vice
To be your lover yesterday,
But now those feelings have died, and love is turning the tide away.
Yeah, yeah…
