You drown yourself in booze
And party through the night
You think the time is wrong
But the time is right
And what you can’t face yourself
You dump on someone else
And you say

Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight

Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight

You always disappear
To see if anyone cares
But this time it don’t work
And they all leave you there
And when you come back to town
Shе’s not around and you say

Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrеcking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
The endless line of cars
Go stretchin' down the road
But you won't telephone
'Cause she might say hello
And she knows where your at
And you can’t handle that, and I say

You don’t need a wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
The only crime in the street
Is walking in your feet
