Open Up and Say... Ahh Lyrics
She goes down
slow like a shot of gin
She's got an angel's face and the devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She said "I'm your poison, now you 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 watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers "If you wanna taste my love
why don't you swallow this."
CHORUS:
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Ooooh lick it up
She gets so damn close you can feel her breathe
Just the way she moves, soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner, just down the street
All night we played the horizontal bop right between the sheets
CHORUS 2x
Now listen
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make my ends meet
PRECHORUS:
I'm always working slaving every day
Gotta get a break from that 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
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then
PRECHORUS
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
Here's to ya
CHORUS 3x
Like this
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Ain't got a hope in hell
Of putting my pieces back together again
I've seen things in my life that should never be seen
I'm talking things that'd make your skin crawl
I just want to go back to a simpler time
Where nothin' really mattered at all, no
Prechorus:
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 want to 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
My parents think I'm crazy
And the doctor says I cracked
But they don't understand me
Cause I just wanna go back
Prechorus
CHORUS
Well the whole world thinks I'm crazy
And the doctor says I cracked
But they don't understand me no
Cause I just wanna go back
Prechorus
CHORUS 2x
Like this
Well, I calls
my baby on the telephone
She says hurry home Bret cause I'm all alone
Oh now giddyap, hurry, and don't be late
Cause a b-b-b-b-baby I just can't wait
CHORUS 1
She starts talking dirty right in my ear
Making herself so perfectly clear
She needs some good love
So I roll her over in the middle of the night
and I rock my baby 'til the morning light
Getting hot....Good love, yeah.
Well the good people say I'm a sinning man
But if they knew my baby they would understand
And the neighbors keep yellin' bout all the noise
They say the things you're doin' ain't natural, boy
CHORUS 2
Well my baby she just loves to play
And I need my baby each and every day
Need some good love
We're hopping and a bobbin' in the old moonlight
Rocking and a rolling til the morning light
Getting hot....good love
Bring it home
Well my baby she just loves to play
And I need my baby each and every day
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 wants to play with my baby
If you only knew what she could do
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
Start hoppin' boppin' in the old moonlight
Rocking and a rolling til the morning light
Getting hot, hot, hot... good love
So damn hot
You're my
fatal attraction
Oh, no, I can't stop
You're my midnight fantasy
You're my cream of the crop
I'm coming home girl
I'm coming home
You're my soaking wet ecstasy
Like sex on the beach
I wanna take you home now girl
Gonna practice what I preach, dig
I'm comin' home girl
I'm comin' home now
PRECHORUS:
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
Just get a little bit closer girl
And that's all I'll 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
You turn up the heat turn off the light
And I'll do the rest
I'm comin' home girl,
I'm comin home now
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
Good girls go
to heaven, bad girls go to hell
The rest of them get rich and do just what they feel
Well rich boys live in houses and 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'd 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 OK, 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 the answer still is no"
So I wined her, dined her, fancy talked acted cool and smooth
Got my hands around her shoulder two inches from the move
Well I guess I'm about as close as I could be
Cause I finally made my move, she just said to me
CHORUS
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 piece of mind
So I started
really thinking and I got myself a plan
I opened up a cold beer and I handed her the can
She drank it down real fast until she nearly choked
Jumped up on my bed, tore off all her clothes and said
CHORUS
She stepped
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 the work seemed harder
And the days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be
But you know you got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win - tails you're gonna lose
CHORUS:
Win big--Mama's fallen angel
Lose big--living out her lies
Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rolling the dice of her life
Now she found herself in the fast lane living day to day
Turned her back on her best friends, yeah
And watched her family slip away
Just like a lost soul
caught up in the Hollywood 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 a 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 and it just wouldn't wait
CHORUS
CHORUS
We both lie
silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
CHORUS
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
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 have let you know somehow
I guess
CHORUS
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
but the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' 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 you cuts me like a knife
I guess
CHORUS
CHORUS:
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
But when evening comes 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 you're out on a date
Don't you 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
And it's all because
CHORUS
Everyone gather round let me tell you all about it
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
We're just about to move thinking "mmm, Bret, this is a breeze"
Then there's a light in my eye and a guy says
"Out of the car, long hair!"
Oowee--you're coming with me
Said the local police
CHORUS
Play me a little C.C.
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
They just ain't cool and they ain't about to start
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock
Your Mama don't dance, no
She just don't dance, no
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll
Ah, yeah
There's an
alley cat slowly walking down a dirty street
Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat
You got five fingers Johnny stealing everything in sight
You gotta be bad to be good in the dead of the night
Wowowow, kick it
You're dancing in fire, baby
When you're taking it to the streets
Yeah to the streets
Better watch your back baby
Better be fast on your feet
Cause they're wheelin' dealin'
Cheatin' stealin'
Child you're gonna learn
CHORUS:
You 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, nothin' to lose
It's an eye for an eye baby
And a tooth for a tooth, ain't it the truth
If you 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 a taste of wine
CHORUS
When it's said and done
and you're on the run
And the only law comes under the gun
