Mama kin |
[Guitar Solo Intro]
[Verse]
It ain't easy living like a gypsy
Tell you, honey, how I feel
I've been dreaming, floating down the stream, and
Losing touch with all that's real
Whole earth lover keeping undercover
Never know where you've been
You've been fading, always out parading
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shooting fire from your mouth just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out because someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon
[Pre-Chorus]
It isn't easy living like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace 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
[Chorus 1]
Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
And working for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mind with your dreams
You better check it out
Or someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon
[Chorus 2]
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
[Guitar & Saxophone Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
It isn't easy living like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace 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
[Chorus 1]
Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Working for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Because someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon
[Chorus 2]
Keeping up Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
I said I'll tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea

Dream on |
[Verse 1]
Every timeâ 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
[Interlude]
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
[Verse 2]
Half my life's in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you
[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
[Bridge]
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on
Ah!
[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Same old song and dance |
[Verse 1]
Get yourself a 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're soon enough dead
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
No smooth-face lawyer to get you undone
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
[Chorus]
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend (Uh)
It's the same old story, same old story, same old song and dance
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Fate comes a-knocking, doors start locking
Your old time connection, change your direction
You ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
When you're low down and dirty, from walking 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
[Chorus]
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, yeah

Seasons of wither |
[Verse 1]
Loose-hearted lady, sleepy was she
Love for the devil brought her to me
Seeds of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of wither holding me in
[Chorus]
Oh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
Oh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
Bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail
[Verse 2]
Fireflies dance in the heat of
Hound dogs that bay at the moon
My ship leaves in the midnight
Can't say I'll be back too soon
They awaken, far far away
Heat of my candle show me the way
Seeds of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of wither holding me in
[Chorus]
Oh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
Oh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
Bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail

Walk this way |
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Backstroking lover, always hiding 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to my daddy, he say
He said, "You ain't seen nothing 'til you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changing your ways."
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of loving with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
See-saw swinging with the boys in the school
With your feet flying up in the air
Singing "Hey, diddle-diddle with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like I didn't care."
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was fooling 'cause she knew what she was doing
When she told me how to walk this way; she told me to
[Chorus]
"Walk this way, talk this way"
"Walk this way, walk this way"
"Walk this way, walk this way"
"Walk this way, talk this way"
Ah, just give me a kiss
Like this
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
Schoolgirl sweetie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbing way up her knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was looking at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss, like this
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
See-saw swinging with the boys in the school
With your feet flying up in the air
Singing "Hey, diddle-diddle with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like I didn't care."
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was fooling 'cause she knew what she was doing
And I knew love was here to stay when she told me to
[Chorus]
"Walk this way, talk this way"
"Walk this way, walk this way"
"Walk this way, walk this way"
"Walk this way, talk this way"
Just give me a kiss
Like this
[Outro Solo]

Big ten inch record |
[Verse 1]
Got me the strangest woman
Believe me this trick's no cinch
But I really get her going
When I whip out my big 10 inch
[Chorus]
Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues
[Verse 2]
Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
She said now stop that jivin'
Now whip out your big 10 inch
[Chorus]
Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues
[Verse 3]
I, I, I cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clinch
She gets all excited
When she begs for my big 10 inch
[Chorus]
Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 4]
My girl don't go for smoking
And liquor just make her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothing
'Cept for my big 10 inch
[Chorus]
Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that plays the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

Sweet emotion |
[Intro]
[Chorus]
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion
[Verse 1]
Talk about things that nobody cares
Wearing other things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but I got to make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go, musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire
[Chorus]
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion
[Verse 3]
I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me because the rabbit done died, yes it did
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
You stand in the front just a shaking your ass
I'll take you backstage you can drink from my glass
I'll talk about something you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eating from your hand
[Instrumental Outro]

Last child |
[Intro]
I'm dreaming tonight, I'm living back home
Right
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Yes, sir, no, sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poontang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a silk purse
From a J. Paul Getty and his ear
With her face in her beer
[Chorus]
Home sweet home
[Verse 3]
Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma, she's a-cooking
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plow
And my feets in the ghetto
[Verse 4]
Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
It ain't no good when bossman's
Stuffing it down their throats
For paper notes
And their babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rocking the street
[Chorus]
Home sweet home
Mama, take me home sweet home
[Outro]
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street

Back in the saddle |
[Chorus]
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
[Verse 1]
Riding into town alone
By the light of the moon
I'm looking for old Sukie Jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep give me a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That'd make a grown man cry
[Chorus]
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
[Verse 2]
Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun
Peeling off my boots and chaps
I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more
Fool's gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
No tongue's drier than mine
I'll come when I get back
[Chorus]
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
[Bridge]
I'm riding, I'm loading up my pistol
I'm riding, I really got a fistful
I'm riding, I'm shining up my saddle
I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle
[Chorus]
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
[Outro]
Riding high
Riding high
Riding high already

Draw the line |
[Verse]
Checkmate honey, beat you at your own damn game
No dice honey, I'm livin' on a astral plane
Feet's on the ground, and your head's goin' down the drain
Oh, heads I win, tails you lose, to the never mind
When to draw the line
A Indian summer, Carrie was all over the floor
She was a wet nap winner, and rarely ever left the store
She'd sing and dance all night, and wrong all the right outa me
Oh, pass me the vial and cross your fingers, it don't take time
Nowhere to draw the line
Hi ho silver, we were singin' all your cowboy songs
Oh, you told Carrie, and promised her you wouldn't be long
Heads I win, tails you lose, lord it's such a crime
No dice honey, you the salt, you're the queen of the brine
Checkmate honey, you're the only one who's got ta choose
Where to draw the line
[Outro]
Checkmate, don't be late
Take another pull
That's right impossible
When you got to be yourself
You're the boss of the toss
The dice, the price
Grab yourself a slice
Know where to draw the line

Dude (looks like a lady) |
[Chorus]
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
[Verse 1]
Cruise into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She's 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 said
"Forgive me if I seem out of line"
And she whipped out a gun and tried to blow me away!
[Chorus]
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
[Verse 2]
Never judge a book by its cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover?
Sayin' love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus
Lord, imagine my surprise
[Chorus]
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
[Bridge]

Baby, let me follow you down (Turn the other cheek, dear)
Baby, let me follow you down (Do me, do me, do me, do me)

Angel |
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 walls 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
Baby
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right
Don't know what I'm going to do
About this feeling inside
Yes it's true - loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love - I'm nothing but a begger
Without your love - a dog without a bone
What can I do? I'm sleeping in this bed alone
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right
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
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight

The lightning and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain

He ain't never gonna be the same"

Her dog day's just begun (Made you scream at night?)
Now everybody is on the run

Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run

What it takes |
[Intro]
Ooooh, yeah
[Verse 1]
There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And all those late night promises?
I guess they don't mean a thing
So, baby, what's the story?
Did you find another man?
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
When you don't look back
I guess the feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
[Chorus]
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
Good in your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Girl, before I met you
I was F.I.N.E, fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doing time
You spent me up like money
Then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes
[Chorus]
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
Good in your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Aw, guitar!
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my loving didn't mean that much
Tell me you aren't dying when you're crying for me
[Chorus]
Tell me what it takes to let you go (Ooh)
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go (Oh yeah)
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
Good in your life to the toss of the dice
[Outro]
Tell me who's to blame for thinking twice
No, no, no, no, 'cause I don't want to burn in paradise
Ooo
Let go, let go, let go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
I don't want to burn, I don't want to burn
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go[repeat]
Yeah

The other side |
[Chorus]
Lovin' you has go to be (take me to the other side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea (take me to the other side)
Forget about your foolish pride (take me to the other side)
Aw, take me to the other side (take me to the other side)
[Verse 1]
My mamma told me there'd be days like this
And, man, she wasn't foolin'
'Cause I just can't believe the way you kiss
Uh, uh-huh
You opened up your mouth with baited breath
You said you'd never leave me
You love me, you hate me, I tried to take the loss
You're crying me a river, but I got to get across
[Chorus]
Lovin' you has go to be (take me to the other side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea (take me to the other side)
Forget about your foolish pride (take me to the other side)
Oh, honey, take me to the other side (take me to the other side)
[Verse 2]
I'm looking for another kind of love
Oh, Lordy, how I need it
The kind that likes to leap without a shove
Oh, honey, best believe it
To save a lot of time and foolish pride
I'll say what's on my mind, girl
You love me, you hate me, you cut me down to size
You blinded me with love and, yeah, it opened up my eyes
[Chorus]
Lovin' you has go to be (take me to the other side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea (take me to the other side)
My conscience got to be my guide (take me to the other side)
Aw, honey, take me, take, take, take, take, take, yeahhhh (take me to the other side)
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Take me to the other side
I'm looking for another kind of love
Oh, Lordy, how I need it
The kind that likes to leap without a shove
Honey, you best believe it
Now, I ain't one for saying long goodbyes
I hope all is forgiven
You love me, you hate me, I used to be your lover
You know you had it coming, girl, so take me to the other
(Side, take me to the other side
Take me to the other side)
[Outro]
Lovin' you has go to be (take me to the other side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea (take me to the other side)
You know, My conscience got to be my guide (take me to the other side)
Honey, take me to the other side (take me to the other side)
Lovin' you has go to be (take me to the other side)
Like the devil and the deep blue sea (take me to the other side)
Forget about your foolish pride (take me to the other side)
Aw, honey, take me, take, take, take, take, take, yeahhhh (take me to the other side)

Livinâ on the edge |
[Verse 1]

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, yeah

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation is getting to you, yeah
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is falling
Even if it wasn't, would you still come crawling
Back again?
I bet you would, my friend
Again and again and again and again and again
Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, aggravation is getting to you, yeah

Cryinâ |
[Verse 1]
There was a time
When I was so broken-hearted
Love wasn't much
Of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
Because me and them ways have parted
That kind of love
Was the killin' kind
[Pre-Chorus]
Now listen
All I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
[Chorus]
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your 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
[Bridge]
Now there's not even breathing room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah, you cry when we're making love
Must be one and the same
[Verse 2]
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 somethin'
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your 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
[Bridge II]
'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'Til you give your heart away
[Chorus]
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me
Baby, baby, baby
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down to , down to, down to, down to
[Outro]
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery

Now I'm dyin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery

Amazing |
[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive
[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
Desperate hearts, desperate hearts....
[Solo]
[Outro: Spoken]
"So from all of us at Aerosmith to all of you out there, wherever you are, remember: the light at the end of the tunnel may be you. Good night."

Deuces are wild |
[Verse 1]
I love to look into your big brown eyes
They talk to me and seem to hypnotize
They say the things nobody dares to say
And I'm not about to let you fly away
My lover with no jet lag
We're staying up all night in my sleeping bag
You got a heart-beatin' rhythm from the subterranean
I really love you little girl
I don't need to explain
[Chorus]
I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl
Like a double shot of lovin' so fine
I've been lovin' you since you was a child, girl
'Cause you and me is two of a kind
[Verse 2]
Ah, like deja vu I feel like I've been here
Or somewhere else but you've been always near
It's you that's in my dreams I'm beggin' for
But I woke up when someone slammed the door
So hard I fell out of bed
Screamin' mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
And the moral of the story I can testify
I get stoned on you girl
That's the best reason why
[Chorus]
I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl
Like a double shot of lovin' so fine
I've been lovin' you since you was a child, girl
'Cause you and me is two of a kind

Crazy |
[Intro]
Come here, baby
You know you drive me up a 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 somethin' 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 that line so many times it kinda gets like

Turns a man to a slave

Sends a man right to his grave

Crazy, crazy, crazy, for you baby

To tell me that it's time to go, yeah
But I know you ain't wearing nothing underneath that overcoat
And it's all a show, yeah

That kind of loving
Makes me want to pull
Down the shade, yeah
That kind of loving
Yeah now I'm never, never, never, never gonna be the same

Falling in love (is hard on the knees) |
[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
[Verse 1]
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"
Because falling in love is so hard on the knees
[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
[Verse 2]
We was making love when you told me that you loved me
I thought ol' cupid, he was taking aim
I was believer when you told me that you loved me
And then you called me someone else's name
Yeah!
[Chorus 2]
There ain't gonna be no more begging you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
[Verse 3]
Chip off the old block
Man, you're so much like your sister
My fantasizin' must be outta luck
My old libido has been blowin' a transistor
I feel like I have been hit by a fuck, yeah
[Chorus 3]
I'm jonesing on love
Yeah, I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
Yeah!
[Verse 4]
What are you looking for
It's got to be hardcore
Must be some kind of nouveau riche
Is this your only chance
Or some hypnotic trance
Let's get you on a tighter leash
Own it own it own it
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
[Verse 5]
You ain't that good
Is what you said down to the letter
But you like the way I hold the microphone
Sometimes I'm good, but when I'm bad
I'm even better
Don't give me no lip
I've got enough of my own
[Chorus 2]
There ain't gonna be no more begging you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
[Chorus 3]
I'm jonesing on love
Yeah, I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

I donât want to miss a thing |
[Verse 1]
I could stay awake just to hear you breathin'
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
[Chorus]
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you (Even when I dream)

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wonderin' if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever
Forever and ever
[Chorus]
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this

Hey, j-j-jaded
You got your mama's style
But you're yesterday's child to me
So jaded
You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's supposed to be?
You're getting it all over me, ex-rated

And I'm the one that jaded you

We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded

My, my baby blue
Yeah, I'm thinking about you
My, my baby blue
Yeah, I'm so jaded

When everything you see is a blur
And ecstasy's what you prefer

My, my baby blue
Yeah, I've been thinking 'bout you
My, my baby blue

Just push play (radio remix) |
[Verse 1]
She gave you a flower, the one that God gave her
You all up in the Kool-Aid, but you do not know the flavor
Get into the zone, baby, and do yourself a favor
Head down, spin around, get a little refried
If that don't get it, you can catch it on the B-side

Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, they're gonna bleep it anyway
Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, we're comin' at you anyway

Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, they're gonna bleep it anyway
Just push play, -ing A
Just push play, we're comin' at you anyway

Just push play, they're gonna bleep it anyway
Just push play, -ing A

Fucking A, we're comin' at you anyways

Walk this way |
[Verse 1: Rev Run, D.M.C., & Both]
Now there's a backseat lover that's always undercover
And I talk 'til my daddy say
Said, "You ain't seen nothing 'til you're down on a muffin"
"And there's sure to be a change in ways"
Now, there's a cheerleader that's a real big bleeder
As far as I can reminisce
But the best thing of loving was her sister and her cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
[Chorus: Rev Run, D.M.C., & Both]
See-saw swinging with the boys in school
And her feet was flying up in the air
Singing, "Hey diddle diddle with the kitty in the middle"
And they swinging like it just don't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a lady who was ready to play
It wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what was she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
[Chorus: Steven Tyler & Rev Run]
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way (She told me to)
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Well, just gimme a kiss
Ooh, like this
[Verse 2: Rev Run, D.M.C., & Both]
School girl sleazy with a classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hanging way up her knee
It was three young ladies in the school gym locker
And they found they were looking at D
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
That my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
And I gave the girl a little kiss, like this
[Chorus: Steven Tyler, Steven Tyler & Run-D.M.C.]
See-saw swinging with the boys in the school
With your feet flying up in the air
Singing, "Hey diddle diddle, with your kitty in the middle"
I was swinging like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' when she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
[Chorus: Steven Tyler & Rev Run]
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way (She told me to)
Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Well, just gimme some head
Like this

Girls of summer |
[Verse 1]
When winter hush turns summer pink
In half the time it takes to blink
But it all depends on what you think
About the girls of summer
When all you think of all day long
Is a pretty face inside a song
With a thought like that you can't go wrong
About the girls of summer
Oh yeah... (Do you know... everybody's talking 'bout)
[Chorus]
Some girls are all about it
Some girls they love to let it fly
Some girls can't live without it
Some girls are born to make you cry
[Bridge]
Over and over again
[Verse 2]
My favorite thing that drives me wild
Is when a city girl walks a country mile
For the boy she loves God bless the child
Inside the girls of summer
Oh yeah... (Do you know... everybody's talking 'bout)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Yeah... over and over again
Yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah
[Verse 3]
They get you climbing the walls
They get you caught in their spell
They get you speaking in tongues
Could this be Heaven or Hell
To fall in love twice a day
Is such a sweet price to pay
Se - vous - play
The best things about life are free
The pussywillow up your tree
To the one who climbs
They'll always be the girl... yeah
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Some girls can't live without it
Some girls got twenty reasons why
[Outro]
Over & over & over & over & over

Lay it down |
[Verse 1]
Ruby red her lips were on fire
Do me with a kiss if you please
Tell me what'chor sweet heart desires
Tell me how you want it to be
Cause if it's love you want then you won't mind
A little tenderness
That sometimes is so hard to find
[Chorus]
(Lay it down)
Lay it down
Make it alright
(Lay it down)
Lay it down
I'll hold you so tight
(Lay it down)
Oh... before the morning light
It's gonna be alright
Oh... lay it down
Come and lay it down tonight
[Verse 3]
Tell me how you feel when we make love
Tell me is it real or just make believe
You will never know what'chor made of
Until you open up your heart to receive
Cause if the love you got's that same old crime
We're talking tenderness that's so hard to find
And I'm getting behind you
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Do you remember them times talking in your sleep
With a pocket full'a rubbers you never could keep
From your best friends lover you dreamt about then
When you pulling up the covers the voices in your head
Say if you want it bad
Don't ever let it slip away
[Bridge]
Cause if it's love you want and tenderness... yeah
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Oh... lay it down
Gonna lay it down tonight
Gonna come around tonight
You got to lay it down
