Lyrics
Can only guess ? where she?s goin tonight
She?s fired up & dressed to kill all right.
A room full of noise - cigarette smoke & boys
Is her privilege to slay every man insight
Everyone tried to warn me? she?s much too strong for your desire!
But I was much too blind to see.
South side of something ? can wear a lonely man down
Looking back I should have just stayed on the ground
If I get inside ? she?s in for a slow ride.
The world goes numb with the silence of sound.
The temperature rises at the core? a simple code gone all-wrong.
This sort of thing has happened before.
I gotta do something ? go all or nothing
A shot I might lose
If I look away ? I might miss my chance.
Playing Rock & Roll and the girl just loves to dance!
If she calls my bluff ? and I don?t have the stuff
It could strip everything that makes the man!
The legend has faced the greatest test? & if lightning can?t strike on cue
The title could be put to final rest.
I gotta do something ? go all or nothing
A shot I might lose
And she knows I want her ? There?s no one else like her
A shot I might lose
