Lonely Jenny down at the bar
Feelin up men that take it too far
It's hard to handle, it breaks her pride
It's the only way she knows how to get by
Gets home late, got a lot on her plate
Live the rock n roll record she loves to play
It's a sweet release for a workin' queen
Livin' hard as hell eight days a week

You gotta go with what you know
What do they really mean?

Whatever gets you off now baby
Whatever gets you off
No matter what the cost whatever gets you
Whatever gets you off now baby
Whatever gets you off
No matter what the cost whatever gets you off
Yeah! Whatever gets you

High five Larry workin' on the street
Keeps on dreamin' of a sweet machine
Anything goes when the money's right
Sellin' his treats on the corner at night
Buys his baby with a pile of cash
Ride it on home sky high and fast
It's all worthwhile for the hustle and sin
Later that night he's at it again
You gotta go with what you know
What do they really mean?

Whatever gets you off now baby
Whatever gets you off
No matter what the cost whatever gets you
Whatever gets you off now baby
Whatever gets you off
No matter what the cost whatever gets you off
Yeah! Whatever gets you

Another lost kid chasin' all his dreams
Sittin' in his room, guitar on his knees
Sick an' tired of this nowhere town
Knows damn well he can rule a crowd
One-way ticket, one-way mind
Rides that bus straight through the night
The city of Angels, the city of greed
The city gives life to what he needs

You gotta go with what you know
What do they really mean?

Whatever gets you off now baby
Whatever gets you off
No matter what the cost whatever gets you
Whatever gets you off now baby
Whatever gets you off
No matter what the cost whatever gets you off
No matter what the cost
Whatever gets you
Off, off, off
Yeah!
