Ain't That A Bitch

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Desmond Child)

 

Up in smoke you've lost another lover

As you take a hit off your last cigarette

Strung out, burnt out

Yeah you're down on your luck

And you don't give a ..

. 'Til the best part of you starts to twitch

Ain't that a bitch

 

Freak out! I'm alone now

I feel just like I'm losin'my mind

'Cause love is like the right dress

On the wrong girl

You never know what you're gonna find

You think you're high and fine as wine

Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch

'Cause love is like a wrong turn

On a cold night ... yeah

Ain't that a bitch

 

In a daze

In the throes of emotion

You see God in the Devil's eyes

Then you fall so far from grace

You wouldn't know a kiss

If it was on your face

You can tell it to the jury

But you ain't got no case

 

Freak out! I'm alone now

I feel just like I'm losin'my mind

'Cause love is like the right dress

On the wrong girl

You never know what you're gonna find

The gal was fine as calamine but not

enough to scratch a seven year itch

'Cause love is like the last licks

Outta Hendrix ... yeah

Ain't that a bitch

 

Then you feel so out of place

Lickin'up the arsenic

From the same old lace

You know the stuff is poison

But you gotta have a taste

 

Freak out! I'm alone now

I feel just like I'm losin' my mind

'Cause love is like the right dress

On the wrong girl

You never know what you're gonna find

You think you're high and fine as wine

Then you wind up with your face in the ditch

'Cause love is like a warm gun

On a cold night ... yeah

Ain't that a bitch

 

Amazing

(Tyler/Supa)

 

I kept the right ones out

And let the wrong ones in

Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins

There were times in my life

When I was goin' insane

Tryin to walk through

The pain

When I lost my grip

And I hit the floor

Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door

I was so sick and tired

Of livin' a lie

I was wishin that I

Would die

 

chorus

 

It's Amazing

With the blink of an eye you finally see the light

It's Amazing

When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright

It's Amazing

And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

 

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation

And how high can you fly with broken wings?

Life's a journey not a destination

And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

 

You have to learn to crawl

Before you learn to walk

But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk

I was out on the street

Just tryin' to survive

Scratchin' to stay

Alive

 

chorus

 

 

Angel

(Tyler/Child)

 

I'm alone yeah I don't know if I can face the night

I'm in tears and the cryin that i do is for you

I want your love let's break the wall between us

Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride

Enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light

 

You're my angel come and save me tonight

You're my angel come and make it alright

You're my angel come and save me tonight

 

Don't know what I'm gonna do about thins feeling inside

Yes, it's true loneliness took me for a ride

Without your love, I'm nothin but a beggar

Without your love, a dog without a bone

What can I do, I'm sleepin in this bed alone

 

You're the reason I live

You're the reason I die

You're the reason I give when I break down and cry

Don't need no reason why

Baby, baby, baby

 

 

Attitude Adjustment

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Marti Frederiksen)

 

This girl that I knew

She loved me and blew me away

We made love no doubt

But she never went out of her way

 

I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why

Do the wings of your butterfly

Lightenin' thunder

I keep wonderin'why

 

Hey I think you need an attitude adjustment

Knock-down drag out

I got to make myself a latitude adjustment

With or without

 

I was rather naive

So I didn't believe when you said

Our love is in jail

Honey you hit the nail on the head

 

I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why

Do the wings of your butterfly

Lightenin' thunder

Ain't no wonderin'why

 

Hey I think you need an attitude adjustment

Knock-down drag out

Got to make myself a latitude adjustment

With or without

 

Now I know what it is

Cause I know what you are

No more cryin' eyes my friend

Excusem fuckin' moi

 

No more wonderin'

I got news for you

 

Hey I think you need an attitude adjustment

Knock-down drag out

I gots to make myself an attitude adjustment

I'm headin' south

 

Hey yeah I think you need an attitude adjustment

From inside out

 

 

Crash

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Mark Hudson, Dominik Miller)

 

Sitting in a castle

On the floor with Ezmorelda

Waiting for the Geezer's

Captain Crunch to come around

Feeling suicidal

Coz of certain situations

Hanging from the stairs

Too long

I think I'm coming down

 

It's time to crash

 

Doin'tons of colon blow

Stuffing it in every hole

Miles high so am I

Watching Jimmy kiss the sky

Salle diner becomes a blur

With everybody jammin'

Republicans begin to sin

The batwings start a slamming

 

It's time to crash

 

You drive me crazy

 

Captain Billy Beemish

Put a lamb up on a rack

Thanks for coming Billy

And we hope you're comin' back

The castle will be waiting

For the next bangers and mash

Blanche and Marsha Reznick

Mix their marinite with their hash

 

It's time to crash

 

 

Crazy

(Tyler/Perry/Child)

 

Come 'ere baby

You know you drive me up the wall

the way you make good on all the nasty tricks you pull

Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love

And it always seems you got somthin' on your mind other than me

Girl, you got to change your crazy ways

You hear me

 

Say you're leavin on a seven thirty train

and that you're headin' out to Hollywood

Girl you been givin me the line so many times

Sends a man right to his grave

chorus

Cryin'

(Tyler/Perry/Rhodes)

 

 

There was a time

When I was so brokenhearted

Love wasn't much of a friend of mine

The tables have turned, yeah

'Cause me and them ways have parted

That kind of love was the killin' kind

All I want is someone I can't resist

I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed

 

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do-down on me

 

Now there's not even breathin' room

Between pleasure and pain

Yeah you cry when we're makin love

Must be one and the same

 

It's down on me

Yeah, I got to tell you one thing

It's been on my mind

Girl I gotta say

We're partners in crime

You got that certain something

What you give to me

Takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street

Is the devil's in your kiss

If our love goes up in flames

It's a fire I can't resist

 

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do to me

 

'Cause what you got inside

Ain't where your love should stay

Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love

'Till you give your heart away

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' just to let you

Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby

 

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to

 

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Love is sweet

I was cryin' when I met you

 

 

 

 

Dream On

(Tyler)

 

every time that I look in the mirror

all these lines on my face getting clearer

the past is gone

it went by like dusk to dawn

isn't that the way

everybody's got their dues in life to pay

 

yeah, I know nobody knows

where it comes and where it goes

I know it's everybody's sin

you got to lose to know how to win

 

half my life's in books' written pages

live and learn from fools and from sages

you know it's true

all the things come back to you

 

sing with me, sing for the years

sing for the laughter and sing for the tears

sing with me, if it's just for today

maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

 

dream on, dream on, dream on,

dream yourself a dream come true

dream on, dream on, dream on,

and dream until your dream comes true

dream on (7x)

 

 

Dude (Looks like a Lady)

(Tyler/Perry/Child)

 

Cruised into a bar on the shore

Her picture graced to grime on the door

She a long lost love at first bite

Baby maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right

That's right

 

Backstage we're having the time

Of our lives until somebody say

Forgive me if I seem out of line

Then she whipped out her gun

Tried to blow me away

 

Dude look like a lady

Dude look like a lady

Dude look like a lady

Dude look like a lady

 

So never judge a book by it's cover

Or who you're going to love by your lover

Love put me wise to her love in disguise

She had the body of a venus

Lord imagine my surprise

 

Dude look like a lady

Dude look like a lady

Dude look like a lady

Dude look like a lady

 

What a funky lady

She like it like it like it like that

He was a lady

 

Baby let me follow you down

Let me take a peek dear

Baby let me follow you down

Do me, do me, do me all night

Baby let me follow you down

Turn the other cheek dear

Baby let me follow you down

Do me, do me, do me, sue me

 

Eat the Rich

(Tyler, Perry, Vallance)

 

Well I woke up this morning

On the wrong side of the bed

And how I got to thinkin'

About all those things you said

About ordinary people

And how they make you sick

And if callin names kicks back on you

Then I hope this does the trick

 

'Cause I'm sick of your complainin'

About how many bills

And I'm sick of all your bitchin'

'Bout your poodles and your pills

And I just can't see no humor

About your way of life

And I think I can do more for you

With this here fork and knife

 

chorus:

Eat the Rich: there's only one thing that they're good for

Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more

Eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest

Eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest

 

So I called up my head shrinker

And told him what I done

He said you best go on a diet

Yeah I hope you have some fun

And a don't go burst a bubble

On rich folk who get rude

'Cause you won't get in no trouble

When you eats that kind of food

Now they're smoking up their junk bonds

And then they go get stiff

And they're dancing at the yacht club

With Muff and Uncle Biff

But there's one good thing that happens

 

When you toss your pearls to swine

Their attitudes may taste like shit

But go real good with wine

 

chorus

 

Believe in all the good things

That money just can't buy

Then you won't get no bellyache

From eatin' humble pie

I believe in rags to riches

Your inheritance won't last

So take your Grey Poupon my friend

And shove it up your ass!

 

chorus:

Eat the Rich: there's only one thing that they're good for

Eat the Rich: take one bite now - come back for more

Eat the Rich: don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy

Eat the Rich: that's my idea of a good time baby

 

 

Fall Together

(Steven Tyler, Mark Hudson, Greg Wells, Dean Grak-al)

 

Looking through the looking glass

Looking back at me

I got X-Ray rear view vision

But I don't like what I see

 

Now, I'd should not bitch and moan

But there's not much I can do

When you're hangin' by a thread

And I'm hangin' on to you

 

Baby we can fall apart

Or we can fall together

It's a long, way down

We can make a new start

Never say never

We can fall apart

Or we can fall together

 

Now I know you feel compelled

When you're so down in the dumps

Every road can take some turns

And every road has got it's bumps

 

Now you got to know yourself

Yeah, you got to play it smart

'Cause you'll suffer for your sanity

If you suffer for your art

 

Baby we can fall apart

Or we can fall together

It's a long way down

We can make a new start

Never say never

We can fall apart

Or we can fall together

 

Now honey I got this feelin' somethin's funny

But I don't know what it is

My knees are shakin'

My heart is racin'

And the ground's about to give

 

Or we can fall together

It's a long way down

We can make a new start

Never say never

We can fall apart

Or we can fall together

 

Baby we can fall apart

Or we can fall together

It's a long way down

We can make a new start

Never say never

We can fall apart

Or we can fall together

 

Fall together

Fall together

Fall together, right now

You and me

 

 

Fallen Angels

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Richie Supa)

 

There's a candle burning in the world tonight

For another child who vanished out of sight

And a heart is broken, another prayer in vain

There's a million tears that fill a sea of pain

 

Sometimes I stare out my window

My thoughts all drift into space

Sometimes I wonder if there's a better place

 

Where do fallen angels go

I just don't know

Where do fallen angels go

They keep falling

 

Well the times is frightening

Can't ignore the facts

There's so many people

Just slippin' through the cracks

 

So many ashes are scattered

So many rivers run dry

Sometimes your Heaven is Hell and you don't know why

 

(But let me tell ya)

Where do fallen angels go

I just don't know

Where do fallen angels go

They keep falling

 

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Somewhere out there there's a shining light

And I got to be with you tonight

 

And with all we're nowhere

We still pay the price

Yeah the Devil seems to get his way

In downtown paradise

 

Where do fallen angels go

I just don't know

Where do fallen angels go

They keep falling

 

Wbere do fallen angels go

I just don't know

Where do fallen angels go

They keep falling

 

There's a candle burning la la la etc.

 

 

Falling in Love (Is So Hard on the Knees)

 

You're so bad, You're so bad, You're so bad

You're so bad You're so bad

 

You think you're in love

Like it's a real sure thing

But every time you fall

You get your ass in a sling

You used to be strong

But now it's ooh baby please

'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

 

We was making love when you told me that you loved me

'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

 

 

Falling Off

Lead vocal: Joe Perry

This appears on some import versions of Nine Lives

 

 

I was a young man

whose intentions where good,

kept my hands in my pockets

the way that I should.

I soon found out

they had a mind of their own

begginin' to think

I have a heart made of stone.

 

I keep falling off

I keep falling off

I keep falling off

 

I try to remember,

I try to forget.

I'll keep my promise

If thats what I said.

I had your number

but I never call,

I got no excuse

so I got my back to the wall.

 

I keep falling off...

 

My, I don't wanna see,

my ears don't wanna hear,

the things that make me feel

that keep me so endear to you.

It makes me think,

Is that the best that I can do?

 

It doesn't matter

the times that I fall

I'm up for the next one

Like I'm ten feet tall!

 

I keep falling off

I keep falling off...

 

 

 

 

Full Circle

(Steven Tyler, Taylor Rhodes)

 

Yeah

If I could change the world

Like a fairy tale

I would drink the love

From your Holy Grail

I would start with love

Tell ol' Beelzeebub

To get outta town

'Cause you just lost your job

 

How did we get so affected (cause I think)

Love is love reflected

 

Time

Don't let it slip away

Raise yo' drinkin' glass

Here's to yesterday

In Time

We're all gonna trip away

Don't piss Heaven off

Yeah and by the way

Here's to Heaven knows

Hole in My Soul

 

(Steven Tyler,Joe Perry,Desmond Child)

 

I'm down a one way street

With a one night stand

With a one track mind

Out in no man's land

(The punishment sometimes don't seem to fit the crime)

 

Yeah there's a hole in my soul

But one thing I've learned

For every love letter written

There's another one burned

(So tell me how it's gonna be this time)

 

Is it over

Is it over

Is it over

'Cause I'm blowin'out the flame

 

Take a walk outside your mind

Tell me how it feels to be

The one who turns the knife inside of me

Take a look and you will find there's nothing there girl

Yeah I swear, I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever

It's a place where a garden never grows

There's a hole in my soul, yeah I should have known better

'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose

 

I'm as dry as a seven year drought

I got dust for tears

Yeah I'm all tapped out

(Sometimes I feel broken and can't get fixed)

 

I know there's been all kinds of shoes underneath your bed

Now I sleep with my boots on but you're still in my head

(And something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks)

'Cause if it's over

Then it's over

And it's driving me insane

 

Is it over

Yeah it's over

And I'm blowin' out the flame

 

Take a walk outside your mind

Tell me how it feels to be

The one who turns the knife inside of me

Take a look and you will find

There's nothing there girl, yeah, I swear

I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause there's a hole in my soul

That's been killing me forever

It's a place where a garden never grows there's a hole in my soul,

Yeah I should have known better

'Cause your love's like a thorn

Without a rose

 

 

 

 

I Don't Want to Miss A Thing

Diane Warren

 

I could stay awake

Just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While far away and dreaming

 

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment I spend with you

Is a moment I treasure

 

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss ya babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

 

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss ya babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

 

I lay close to you

Feeling your heart beating

And I wonder what you are dreaming

Wonder if it's me you are seeing

 

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God we're together

I just want to stay with you

In this moment forever and ever and ever

 

I Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss ya babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

 

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss ya babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

 

I don't want to miss a smile

I don't want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you, here with you

Just like this

 

I just want to hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And stay with this moment

For the rest of time

 

Yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaaaaaaah!

 

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss ya babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

 

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss ya babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

whole world's come undone

lookin' straight at the sun

 

what did her daddy do

what did he put you through

they say when Janie was arrested

they found him underneath a train

but man he had it comin'

now that Janie's got a gun

she ain't never gonna be the same

 

Janie got a gun

Janie got a gun

dog days just begun

now everybody is on the run

 

tell me now it's untrue

what did her daddy do

he jacked a little bitty baby

the man has got to be insane

they say the spell that he was under

the lightning and the thunder

knew that someone had to stop the rain

 

run away, run away from the pain

run away, run away from the pain

run away, run away

run, run away

 

what did her daddy do

it's Janie's last I-O-U

she had to take him down easy

and put a bullet in his brain [alt: she left him in the pouring rain]

she said 'cause nobody believes me

the man was such a sleaze

he ain't never gonna be the same

 

honey honey, what's the problem

tell me it ain't right

was it your daddy's cradle-robbin' that

made you scream at night

 

 

Kiss Your Past Good-Bye

(Steven Tyler, Mark Hudson)

 

Finders keepers losers weep

Down on 42nd Street

Bare-foot children cryin'my-oh-my

I watched you on the avenue

While other men were having you

I think that you should let your caged bird fly

 

And kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye, yeah

Kiss vour past good-bye

 

I've been so lost I must confess

I've had my share of loneliness

But yeah it's hard to keep a good man down

The loves you lost were all in vain

The past lives on inside your brain

I don't think you need those memories

Hangin round, yeah

 

Good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

You've gotta let it fly

Kiss your past good-bye, yeah

 

And if that bird don't fly away

There's just one thing I got to say

 

It's later than a deuce of ticks

Your broken heart, it needs a fix

You're feedin' off a high that would not last

And people they don't seem to care

And sorry just don't cut it, yeah

It seems to me you're gettin' nowhere fast

 

Kiss ... your ... past

Or kiss your ass good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

 

Or kiss your ass good-bye

Yeah

 

 

Last Child

(Tyler, Whitford)

 

Take me back to a south Tallahassee

Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy

Can't stand up on my feet in the city

Got to get back to the real nitty gritty

 

Yes sir, No sir

Don't come close to my

Home sweet home

Can't catch no dose

of my hot tail poon-tang sweatheart

sweathog ready to make a silk purse

from a J Paul Getty and his ear

with a face in a beer

Home Sweet Home

 

Get out in the field,

Put the mule in the stable

Ma, she's A cookin'

Put the eats on the table

Hate's in the City and My love's in the meadow

Hand's on the plow and my feets in the ghetto

 

Stand up, sit down

Don't do nothin'

Ain't no good when boss man's stuffin'

Down their throats with paper notes

as babies cry

When you're rockin' the street

Home Sweet Home

 

Mamma take me home sweet home

I was the last Child, just a punk in the street.

 

 

Livin' On the Edge

(Tyler/Perry/Hudson)

 

There's something wrong with the world today

I don't know what it is

Something's wrong with our eyes

 

We're seeing things in a different way

And God knows it ain't His

It sure ain't no surprise

 

We're livin' on the edge

 

There's something wrong with the world today

The light bulb's getting dim

There's a melt down in the sky

 

If you can judge a wise man

By the color of his skin

The mister you're a better man than I

 

chorus: We're livin on the edge

You can't help yourself from fallin'

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself at all

Livin' on the edge

You can't stop yourself from fallin'

Livin' on the edge

 

Tell me what you think about your situation

Complication-aggravation

Is getting to you

 

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'

And even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'

Back again?

I think you would my friend

Again & again & again & again & again

 

Tell me what you think about your situation

Complication-aggravation

Is getting to you

 

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'

And even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'

Back again?

I think you would my friend

Again & again & again & again

 

Something right with the world today

And everybody knows it's wrong

But we can tell Ôem no or we can let it go

But I would rather be hanging on

 

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself from fallin'

You can't help yourself at all

Livin' on the edge

You can't stop yourself from fallin'

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself

You can't help yourself

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself at all

You can't help yourself

Livin' on the edge

You can't stop yourself from fallin'

Livin' on the edge

Floatin' down stream and

Losin' touch with all that is real.

Never knowin' where ya been.

You've been fadin', always out paradin.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.

 

Well you've always got your tail on the wag.

Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.

You act like a perpertual drag.

You better check it out,

Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

 

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,

And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.

The way I see it, you've got to say shit.

But don't forget to drop me a line.

And workin' for you dad is just a drag.

He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.

You better check it out,

Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

 

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.

Tell her where you've gone and been.

Livin' out your fantasy,

Sleeping late and smoking tea.

Nine Lives

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Marti Frederiksen)

 

Well well well

I feel just like I'm fallin' in love

There's a new cool

Some kind of verbooty

That fits me like a velvet glove

 

And it's cool

Ooh babu dooby

She's talkin'to me Juba to Jive

Yeah, the girl's in love

No doubt about it

The moment of truth has arrived

 

And in a wink

The funk was all around me

And I think

I'm dead in love again

 

Nine Lives - Feelin'lucky

Nine Lives - Live again

Nine Lives - It ain't over

Nine Lives - Live for ten

 

I got good luck

In certain situations

I'm feelin' like I hung the moon

And then at times

I'm so weak from lovin'

I couldn't even carry a tune

 

But now I'm back

Oh yes I am

I maybe fall apart at the seams

I had a nightmare

Believe me when I tell you

Nobody ever dies in their dreams

 

I think, I need a stay of execution

In a wink, I'm dead in love again

 

Nine Lives - Puss & booty

Nine Lives - Live again

 

 

Nine Lives - It ain't over

Nine Lives - Live for ten

 

Well well well

 

Engine room to bombardier

Is this a dream

I died and went to Heaven

She's enough to make you

Cry in your beer

 

How can a good thing

7 come 11

Slip into a fare thee well

And how can one man's

Little bit o' Heaven

Turn into another man's Hell

 

I think I need a stay of execution

In a wink, I'm dead in love again

 

Nine Lives - Hello lucky

Nine Lives - Live again

Nine Lives - It ain't over

Nine Lives - Live for ten

 

Nine Lives - Takin' over

Nine Lives - Live again

Nine Lives - It ain't over

Nine Lives - Try for ten

 

Nine Lives - Hello lucky

Nine Lives - Live again

Nine Lives - It ain't over

Nine Lives - Live for ten

 

 

 

 

Pink

(Steven Tyler, Glen Ballard, Richie Supa)

 

Pink- it's my new obsession

Pink it's not even a question,

Pink, on the lips of your lover, 'cause

Pink is the love you discover

 

Pink as the bing on your cherry

Pink 'cause you are so very

Pink it's the color of passion

'Cause today it just goes with the fashion

 

Pink it was love at first sight

Pink when I turn out the light

Pink gets me high as a kite

And I think everything is going to be all right

No matter what we do...

 

Tonight you could be my flamingo

'Coz pink is the new kinda of lingo

Pink like a deco umbrella

It's kink - but you don't ever tell her

 

Pink it was love at first sight, and

Pink when I turn out the light

Pink gets me high as a kite

And I think everything is going to be all right

No matter what we do tonight

 

I want to be your lover

I wanna wrap you in rubber

As pink as the sheets that we lay on

Pink it's my favorite crayon, yeah

 

Pink it was love at first sight

Pink when I turn out the light

Pink it's like red but not quite

And I think, everything is going to be all right

No matter what we do tonight

 

 

Rag Doll

(Tyler/Perry/J. Vallance/Holy Knight)

 

Rag doll, living in a movie

Hot tramp, Daddy's little cutie

So fine, they'll never see ya

Leavin' by the back door, man

 

Hot time, get it while it's easy

Don't mind, come on up and see me

Rag doll, baby won't you do me

Like you done before

 

I'm feelin' like a bad boy

MMM Just like a bad boy

I'm rippin' up a rag doll

Like throwin' away an old toy

Some babe's talkin' real loud

Talkin' all about the new crowd

Try and sell me an old dream

A new version of the old scene

Speak easy on the grape vine

Keep shufflin' the shoe shine

Old tin lizzy do it till you're dizzy

Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery

 

Yes, I'm movin', Yes, I'm movin'

Get ready for the big time

Tap dancing on a land mine

Yes, I'm movin', I'm really movin'

 

Yes, I'm movin', Yes, I'm movin'

Get ready for the big time

Get crazy on the moonshine

Yes, I'm movin', I'm really movin'

 

Sloe gin fizzy

Do it till you're dizzy

Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery

 

 

Same Old Song and Dance

(Tyler/Perry)

 

get yourself cooler, lay yourself low

coincidental murder, with nothing to show

with the judge, constipation will go to his head

and his wife's aggravation, you'll soon end up dead

 

it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

 

gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun

[ alt: shady lookin' loser, you played with my gun ]

no smoothy face laywer to getcha undone

say love ain't the same on the south side of town

you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

 

it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

it's the same old story, same old story

same old song and dance

 

fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'

your old time connection, change your direction

ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it

can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

 

when you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street

with your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet

say love ain't the same, on the south side of town

you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

 

 

 

 

Something's Gotta Give

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Marti Frederiksen)

 

(Does the noise in my head bother you)

 

Cyberotic head explode

Information overload

And I just can't take anymore

And I'm gonna break

 

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give

 

Digerotic mass appeal

Feels like flesh but tastes unreal

And I'm gonna break

 

Something's gotta give

(Answering line)

Something's gotta give

(Answering line)

Something's gotta give

(Answering line)

Something's gotta give

 

If love that seemed to fall from grace

Sitting on your interface

Your megahertz she can't forgive

Your love it died before you ever lived

 

Something's gotta give

(Answering line)

Something's gotta give

(Answering line)

Something's gotta give

(Answering line)

Something's gotta give

 

 

 

 

Sweet Emotion

(Tyler, Hamilton)

 

Talk about things and nobody cares

Wearing other things that nobody wears

Ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear

Can't say where I'm gonna be in a year.

Riff 4x

Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent

Said my get up and go musta got up & went.

You got good news but you're a real good liar

Cause backstage lover set your pants on fire.

Riff 8x, then sweet emotion 2x

Pulled into town in a police car

Your daddy said I took you just a little too far.

Tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied

Can't catch me cause the rabbit done died.

Riff 4x

Standin' in front just shakin' your ass.

Take you back stage you can drink from my glass.

Talk about something you can sure understand

Cause a month on the road and i'll be eatin' from your hand.

Riff 8x, bend, then lead in E.

 

 

Take it Easy

 

Everybody's talkin' 'bout what it is and what it ain't

Everybody seems to be steppin' in time

But it's much too fast and I gotta remind ya

Taste Of India

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Glen Ballard)

 

 

God I love the sweet taste of India

Lingers on the tip of my tongue

Gotta love the sweet taste of India

Blame it on the beat of the drum

 

God I love the sweet taste of India

Lingers on the tip of my tongue

Gotta know that what's gotten into ya

Any cat man do when it's done

 

Oh yeah she's got that kind of love incense

That lives in her back room

And when it mixes with the funk my friend

It turns into perfume

 

When you are born you're afraid of the darkness

And then you're afraid of the light

But I'm not afraid when I dance with my shadow

 

This time I'm gonna get it right

To think of what I'll get tonight

Just lookin' for a little taste

She'll steal the smile right off your face

 

Her yin and yang

Is just the thing

She's unpredictable my friend

 

God I love the sweet taste of India

Lingers on the tip of my tongue

Gotta know that what's gotten into ya

Any cat man do when it's done

 

It's like your first taste love of vindaloo

That sets your heart on fire

And if you let her stuff get into you

It will be all that you desire

 

When you make love to the sweet tantric priestess

You drink in the bliss of delight

But I'm not afraid when I dance with her shadow

 

This time I'm gonna get it right

She's gonna whet my appetite

Just lookin' for a little taste

She'll steal the smile right off your face

 

She a friend of mine

She a concubine

The sweetest wine

I gotta make her mine

 

God I love the sweet taste of India

Lingers on the tip of my tongue

Gotta love the sweet taste of India

Blame it on the beat of the drum

 

God I love the sweet taste of India

Lingers on the tip of my tongue

Gotta know that what's gotten into ya

Any cat man do when it's done

 

Just think of what I'll get tonight

She's gonna whet my appetite

Just lookin' for a little taste

She'll steal the smile right off your face
