FALLEN ANGEL EVERY ROSE HAS IT'S THORN YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE
BAD TO BE GOOD
She goes down slow like a shot a gin
She's got an angel's face and the devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She says, "I'm your poison now drink a cup"
In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She's gonna push you, push you, til she's satisfied
I watched the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers, "If ya wanna taste my love
why don't ya swallow this"
Chorus:
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Solo
She gets so close you can feel her breath
Just the way she moves, soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner
Just down the street
All night we play the horizontal bop
right between the sheets
ChorusX2
Now listen
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make thru the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
but right now I can't make ends meet
Pre-Chorus:
I'm always workin', slavin' everyday
Gotta get a break from the same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say
Chorus:
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't looking for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this
They say I spend my money on women and wine
I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm real sorry 'bout the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
You see I raise a toast to all of us
who are breaking our backs every day
If wanting the good life is such a crime
Lord then put me away
Solo
ChorusX3
Like this
All the kings horses
And all the kings men
Ain't got hope in hell
of puttin' my pieces back together again
I've seen things in my life that should never be seen
I'm talking things that make your skin crawl
I just wanna go back to a simpler time
when nothing really mattered at all
Pre-Chorus:
You see I can't sleep, all night long
Tossin' and a turnin'
thoughts they keep a churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact I just wanna get back
Chorus:
Back to the rockin' horse
Back to where it all began
Take me back, back to the rockin' horse
and start all over again
Get back
My parents think I'm crazy
and the doctor says I've cracked
But they don't understand me
'cause I just wanna go back
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Solo
Well the whole world thinks I'm crazy
and the doctor says I've cracked
But they don't undersatnd me..no
'cause I just wanna go back
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Chorus
Well I called my baby on the telephone
She said, "Hurry home, Bret, 'cause I'm all alone"
Oh now giddy up, hurry and don't late
'Cause a b-b-baby I just can't wait
She starts talkin' dirty right in my ear
Making herself so perfectly clear
She needs some, good love
So I rolled her over in the middle of the night
And rocked my baby til the morning light
Getting hot, good love
Yeah
Well the good people say I'm a sinnin' man
But if they knew my baby they would understand
And the nieghbors keep yelling 'bout all the noise
They say the things you're doing ain't natural boy
Well my baby she just loves to play
And I need my baby each and every day
Need some, good love
We're hoppin' and boppin' in the old moonlight
Rockin' and rollin' til the morning light
Getting hot, good love
Bring it home
Solo
Well my baby she just loves to play
And I need my baby each and every day
I need some, good love
Well my daddy thinks that I've gone crazy
And my poor boss swears I'm losing my cool
But I just want to play with my baby
If you only knew what she could do
She starts talking dirty right in my ear
Making herself so perfectly clear
I need some, good love
Baby she just loves to play
And I need my baby each and every day
Start hoppin' and boppin' in the old moonlight
Rockin' and rollin' til the morning light
Gettin' hot, hot, hot
So damn hot
You're my fatal attraction
Oh no, I can't stop
You're my midnight fantasy
My cream on the crop
I'm comin' home girl
I'm comin' home now
You're my soaking wet ecstasy
Like sex on the beach
I wanna take you home now girl
gonna practice what I preach
I'm comin' home girl
I'm comin' home now
Pre-Chorus:
I can taste your sweet emotion
I can feel it runnin' high
Our veins of passion pumping so strong
We're like gas and fire, got a burnin' desire
Them sparks are gonna fly
And we'll be
Chorus:
Shakin', shakin'
Tearin' down the walls
Little by little, inch by inch
Tearin' down the walls
Screamin', scratchin'
Tearin' down the walls
Little by little, inch by inch
Tearin' down the walls
I just wanna eat you up
like a lion in a cage
You get a little bit closer girl
and that's all I need to say
I'm comin' home girl
I'm comin' home now
You're like a slave to the rhythm
I'm gonna put you to the test
Turn up the heat, turn off the light
I'll do the rest
I'm comin' home girl
I'm comin' home now
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Solo
Good girls go to Heaven, bad girls go to hell
The rest of them get rich and do
just as they feel
Well rich boys live in houses
Poor boys live in sin
The rest of them get married and are
never seen again
Well let me tell my story, explain the shape I'm in
The girl I had last night had never tasted sin
So I took her to my hotel
where I tried to get my way
She said, "Wait a minute, Bret, there's
something I must say"
She said if you wanna talk that's fine with me
But if you want more, you better let me be
Chorus:
'Cause you can look, but you can't touch
'Cause the best things in life ain't cheap
You can look, but you can't touch
'Cause baby I ain't for keeps
Well maybe I'm a bad boy
Okay, so I've been around the block
But I am good at one thing
And believe me, it ain't talk
She says you must be kidding
I've heard this all before
Other girls might buy it
But I don't, that's for sure
Now, wait a minute, baby, I don't want you to go
She said don't get no closer
'cause the answer still is no
So I wined her, dined her, fancy talked
acted cool and smooth
Got my hands on her shoulder
Two inches from the move
Well I guess I'm about as close as I could be
'Cause when I finally made my move
She just said to me
Chorus
Woo, now let me show you something
Mmm, let me set the pace
Slid my hand up her leg
And she slapped me across my face
Can't blame a man for tryin'
Wantin' action ain't a crime
I didn't plan on spending money
just to get a peace of mind
Solo
So I started really thinkin'
And I got myself a plan
I opened up a cold beer and I handed her the can
She drank it down really fast
until she nearly choked
Jumped up on my bed
tore off all her clothes and said
Chorus
She step off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't shine as
bright as they did
on her mama's TV screen
And work seemed harder
the days seemed longer
then she ever thought they'd be
But you know you gotta stick to your guns
when it all comes down
'Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like head they win, tails you're gonna lose
Chorus:
Win big, mama's fallen angel
Lose big, livin' out her lies
What's it all, mama's fallen angel
Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life
Now she found herself in the fast lane
livin' day to day
Turned her back on her bestfriend, yeah
And watched her family slip away
Just like a lost soul
caught up in the Hoolywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress
Hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame
Just a step away from the edge of the fall
Caught between Heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago?
Chorus
Too much too soon
or just a little too late
'Cause when her ship came in
she wasn't there
it just wouldn't wait
Solo
Chorus
We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
we feel miles apart in sight
Was it something I said
or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Chorus:
Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has it's thorn
I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
easy come and easy go
But I wonder, does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could of let you known somehow, I guess
Chorus
Though it's been awhile now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
Solo
I know I could have saved our love that night
if I'd only let you know
Instead of making love
We both made our separate ways
Now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see cuts me like a knife
Chorus
Chorus:
Your mama don't dance
and your daddy don't rock-n-roll
Your mama don't dance
and your daddy don't rock-n-roll
But when evening rolls around
and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go?
You gotta rock it
The old folks say that you gotta end your
date by ten
But if your out on a date
don't ya bring her home late
'cause it's a sin
You know there's no excuse
You know you're gonna lose,You never win
I'll say it again
Chorus
You see I pulled into a drive-in
and I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat
where it's always nice and dark
Just about to move
Thinking to myself
mmm, Bret this is a breeze
There was a light in my eye and a guy says
"Get out of the car long hair
Ooowee, you're comin' with me",
said the local police
And it's all because
Chorus
Play me a little C.C.
Solo
Chorus
There's an alley cat slowly walking down
a dirty street
Watching a cop on the take
marching to his city beat
Ya got five fingers Johnny
stealin' everything in sight
Ya gotta be bad to be good in the
dead of the night
Wowowow, kick it
You're dancing in fire, baby when you're
takin' it to the streets
Yeah to the streets
Baby better be better watch your back
fast on you feet
Yes on your feet
'Cause they're wheelin', dealin',
cheatin', stealin'
Child you're gonna learn
Chorus:
Ya gotta be bad to be good
If you know what I'm talkin' about
What's that
So I say it again, you gotta be bad to be good
In the dead of the night
When you got nothin' baby, you got nothin'
to lose, nothing' to lose
It's an eye for an eye, baby and a
tooth for a tooth, ain't it the truth
If ya got nine lives you might survive
'Cause nothing's free on the other side
Chorus
Wheelin', dealin', cheatin, stealin'
just to stay alive
They got love for sale, yes for sale
on the New York subway line
Watch the working girls hanging out
Turning tricks underneath the lights
Oh the lights
One step from hell
The poor men sell their soul
for the taste of wine
Chorus
When it's said and done
and you're on the run
and the only law comes under the gun
