Love In An Elevator

Yeah!
Workin' like a dog fo de boss man  WOH
Workin' for de company  WOH YEAH
I'm bettin' on the dice I'm tossin'  WOH
I'm gonna have a fantasy  WOH YEAH

But where am I gonna look?
They tell me that love is blind
I really need a girl like an open book
To read between the lines

Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up 'till I hit the ground

Jacki's in the elevator   WOH
Lingerie second floor   WOH YEAH
She said, "Can I see you later?  WOH
And love you just a little more?" WOH YEAH

I kinda hope we get stuck
Nobody gets out alive
She said, "I'll show ya how to fax in the mailroom, honey
And have you home by five"

Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up 'till I hit the ground
In the air, in the air
Honey, one more time, now it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm going down

Love in an...
Elevator...

Going down...

Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm going down
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I hit the ground

Gonna be a penthouse pauper   WOH
Gonna be a millionaire   WOH YEAH
I'm gonna be a real fast talker  WOH
And have me a love affair   WOH YEAH
Gotta get my timin' right  WOH
It's a test that I gotta pass   YEAH
I'll chase all the way to the stairway, honey  WOH
Kiss your sassafras

Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm going down
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up 'till we hit the ground
Do ya care?
Do ya care?
Honey, one more time now it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm going down
Do ya care?
Do ya care?
Honey, one more time now it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm going down

Rag Doll

Rag doll, livin' 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 fellin' 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 
Talking all about the new crowd 
Try and sell me an old dream 
A new version of the old scene 
Speak easy on the grapevine 
Keep shufflin' in the shoeshine 
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' 
Old tin lizzy. 
 
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 ya got until you're put out of your misery. 


What It Takes

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 anorher man
Is it easy to sleep 
In the bad 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 your'e back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat,yeah

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's suppose to go
Tell me how it is 
When you can sleep in the night
Without think you have lost everything
That was good in your life 
To the toss of a dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Girl, befor I met you
I was F.I.N.E. fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah my heat's been doing time
Spent me up like money
Then you hang me up to dry 
It was easy to keep 
All your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me deep
With the devil in your eyes

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's suppose to go
Tell me how it is 
When you can sleep in the night
Without think you have lost everything
That was good in your life 
To the toss of a dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Guitar!

Tell me that you're happy 
That you're on your own
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 love didn't mean that much
Tell me that you ain't dyin' when you cry for me

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's suppose to go
Tell me how it is 
When you can sleep in the night
Without think you have lost everything
That was good in your life 
To the toss of a dice
Tell me who's to blame for thinking twice
No no no no
'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise

Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go ...


Dude (Looks Like A Lady)

Cruised into a bar on the shore 
Her picture graced the 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. 
 
Back stage we're having the time 
Of our lives until somebody says 
Forgive me if I seem out of line 
The she whipped out her gun 
Tried to blow me away. 
 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady. 
 
So never judge a book by it's cover 
Or who you gonna 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 looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks 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. 


Janie's Got A Gun

Dum, dum honey what have you done? 
Dum dum dum it's the sound of my gun. 
Dum dum dum honey what have you done? 
Dum dum dum it's the sound it's the sound 

Janie's got a gun 
Janie's got a gun 
Her whole world's come undone 
>From lookin' straight at the sun 
What did her daddy do? 
What did he put you through? 
They said 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's got a gun 
Janie's got a gun 
Her dog day's just begun 
Now ev'rybody is on the run 
Tell me now it's untrue 
What did her daddy do? 
He jocked 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 
 
Chorus 
Run away, run away from the pain yeah yeah yeah yeah 
Run away, run away from the pain yeah (X 7) 
Run away, run away, run run away

Her dog day's just begun 
Now ev'rybody is on the run. 
What did her daddy do? 
It's Janie's last IOU 
She had to take him down easy and 
Put a bullet in his brain 
She said "cause nobody believes me 
The man was such a sleaze. 
He ain't never gonna be the same. 
 
Chorus 
 
Janie's got a gun

Cryin'

There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and those 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

New 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 onmy 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 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
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


Amazing

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, ah ha
I was so sick and tired of livin' a lie
I was wishin' that I would die

It's amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
Oh, it's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Yeah, 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, oh yeah
I was out on the street just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive

It's amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
Oh, it's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Oh, it's amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

Desperate hearts, desperates hearts
Did he wanna see without and give what I get
Oh, oh woh no, oh woh no
Ya ka kow, ya ka ka ka kow
Hooooo woh oooh
Tell you where we'll go
Love is all naughty, na no
Yaba da dun do, na no
A-t-yeah two two two
Ya no no no no no no, no no
It's amazing
It's so exciting
That's right
It's amazing, ya yow
It's a net go tip top tatayeah
Ohhhhhh, woh no no no no no
Whoo whoo oh oh

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
Goodnight


Blind Man

I took a course in Hallelujah
I went to night school for de blues
I took some stuff they said would cool ya, heh hah
But nothing seemed to light my fuse

But it's all in the past like a check that's in the mail
She was a tall whiskey glass
I was an old hound dog that just loved to chase his tail

Until I met a blind man who taught me how to see, yeah
A blind man who could change night into day
And if-a I can, I'm gonna make you come with me, yeah
Cause a-here comes the sun and we'll be chasin' all the clouds
away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yee yeah yeah

I've had some lovers like a joy ride
Some things are never what they seem
My heaven's turned into a landslide, ah
I thank God I woke up from that dream

I met a blind man who taught me how to see, yeah
Blind man who could change night into day
And if-a I can, I'm gonna make you come with me, yeah
Because a-here comes the sun and we'll be chasin' all the clouds

The way that some bees chase honey and drink all the flowers dry
We'll be savin' us a little money
And if that don't do it, yeah, I know the reason why

Don't make no sense lightin' candles, ah
There's too much moonlight in our eyes

I met a blind man who taught me how to see, yeah
Blind man who could change night into day
And if-a I can, I'm gonna make you come with me
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Because a-here comes the sun, ain't no surprise
Ain't no doubt about it, gonna open up your eyes

Yode-lay-hee-ooo-de-lay-hee-ooo-de-lay-hee
Ooo-de-lay-hoo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
'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

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' 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
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
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet
I was cryin' when I met you
(fade)


Deuces Are Wild

I love to look into your big brown eyes
They talk to me and seem to hypnotize
You say the things nobody dares to say
And I'm not about to let you fly away

My lover with no jet lag
We'll stay up all night in my sleepin' bag
You got a heart-beatin' rhythm from the subterrain
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 love, it's so fine
I been lovin' you since you was a child, girl
'Cause you and me is two of a kind

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' momma's little baby loves shortenin' bread
And the moral of the story, I can testify
I get stoned on you girl, that's the best reason why

CHORUS (2x)

??? so bad, make me shiver
Break my bow, break my arrow, break my quiver
??? you're the bandit of the river

CHORUS (2x)

Altered Chorus at the end:

I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl
You know I finally made up my mind
I been lovin' you since you was a child, girl
'Cause you and me is two of a kind


The Other Side

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, take me to the other side
TAKE ME TO THE OTHER SIDE

My mama told me there'd be days like this
And man she wasn't foolin'
'Cause I just can't believe the way you kiss, uhn, uh huh
You opened up your mouth with bated breath
You said you'd never leave me
You love me, you hate me
I tried to take the loss
You're cryin' me a river
But I got to get across

Lovin' you has got to be

The kind that likes to leap without a shove
Uh hon, you best believe it
To save a lot of time and foolish pride
I'll say what's on my mind, girl
You loved me, you hate me
You cut me down to size
You blinded me with love
And yeah it opened up my eye

Lovin' you has got 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
Oh honey, take me, take, take, take, take, take, ow!

Crazy

Come 'ere 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 somn' 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
feelin' bad looks good

That kinda lovin' turns a man to a slave
That kinda lovin' sends a man right to his grave

I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
What can I do, honey
I feel like the color blue

You're packin' up your stuff and talkin' like it's tough and
tryin' to tell me that it's time to go
But I know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that overcoat and
it's all a show

That kinda lovin' makes me wanna pull down the shade, yeah
That kinda lovin'
Yeah, now I'm never gonna be the same
I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
What can I do, honey
I feel like the color blue
I'm losin' my mind, girl 'cause I'm goin' crazy

Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
I'm losin' my mind, girl 'cause I'm goin' crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you, baby
You turn it on, then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me


Eat The Rich

Well, I woke up this morning 
On the wrong side of the bed 
And how I got to thinkin' 
About all those thing 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 I told him what I'd done 
He said you'd best go on a diet 
Yeah I hope you have some fun 
And don't go burst a bubble 
On rich folks who get rude 
'Cause you won't get in no trouble 
When you eats that kind of food 
 
Now they're smokin' up their junk bonds 
And then they go get stiff 
And they're dancin' in 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 
 
[guitar solo] 
 
(woman whispering Aero...Aero...Aero...Aero) 
    
Believe in all the good things 
That money just can't buy 
Then you won't get no belly-ache 
>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! 

Repeat Chorus to end 

Eat the rich 
Don't stop me now, I'm goin' crazy 
Eat the rich 
That's my idea of a good time baby 


Angel

I'm alone
Yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears
And the crying 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 alright

Don't know what I'm gonna do
About this feeling inside
Yes it's true
Loneliness took me for a ride, yeah yeah

Without your love
I'm nothing but a beggar
Without your love
A dog without a bone
What can I do?
I'm sleeping in this bed alone

Baby, you're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel, yeah
Come and make it alright
Come and save me tonight

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, you're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel, yeah
Come and make it alright
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight (Isn't it enough?)
You're my angel
Come and take me alright
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


Livin' on the Edge

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 
 
(Yeah!) 
We're livin' on the edge 
We're livin' on the edge 
We're livin' on the edge 
We're livin' on the edge 
 
There's something wrong with the world today, 
The light bulb's gettin' dim 
There's meltdown in the sky 
 
If you can judge a wise man 
By the color of his skin, 
Then mister you're a better man than I 
 
Chorus: 
We're livin' on the edge 
You can't help yourself from fallin' 
We're livin' on the edge 
You can't help yourself at all 
We're livin' on the edge 
You can't stop yourself from fallin' 
We're livin' on the edge 
(Everybody, everybody) 
 
Tell me what you think about your situation, 
Complication, aggravation is getting to you 
(Yeah!) 
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is fallin', 
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin' back again? 
I bet you would, my friend 
Again and again and again and again and again 
 
(guitar solo) 
 
Tell me what you think about your situation, 
Complication, aggravation is getting to you 
(Yeah!) 
If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is fallin', 
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin' back again? 
I bet you would, my friend 
Again and again and again and again and again 
 
Something right with the world today, 
And everybody knows it's wrong 
If you tell 'em no, we could let it go, 
But I would rather be hangin' on 
 
[a variation on the chorus --> to end]
