Great White - Burning House Of Love - lyrics

note: This song appears only on the Japanese release of Let It Rock.
Drive by my house late at night,
you can see it from the freeway above,
no silhouette, but a light left on,
burnin' there for love, burnin' there for love.
Smoke is risin' from the black,
comin' out my back door.
I'm inside, sound asleep, a cigarette on the floor,
burnin' there for love, burnin' there for love.
Well, I can still remember a couple of years ago,
when the smoke and flames from our names,
was a burnin' house of love, burnin' house of love.
a burnin' house of love...
Burnin' house of love, burnin' house of love.
The rusty nail over our front door,
is where I hung my tears in the rain.
I threw that horseshoe into the weeds,
I seen what love can bring, I seen what love can bring.
Now you're in your bed and I'm in mine,
on either side of town;
I think I might take a little ride,
and burn your love house down,
like a burnin' house of love, a burnin' house of love.
Burnin' house of love.

Great White - Bad Boys - lyrics

(Kendall, Russell, Holland, Black, Niven)
Young boy. A hard, gin, ride. On the loose again
"Live fast to play both sides. I'm out to win.
I'm no loser. I have nothing to lose.
My life ain't easy, but it's mine to use.
Raised on the streets I know
To get what you want you gotta take control"
I'm on the run... bad boys
I'm on the loose... bad boys
I'm on my way. I've paid my dues
Pull of the trigger, time starts to crawl
Two lives have ended when the hammer falls
Raised on the streets I know
To get what you want you gotta take control
The lost years were long each night was cold
The way I felt? Feel the snow.
I've done my time, paid what I owed
Don't want those walls of steel and stone
I put myself behind the wall
Now that I'm back
Ain't gonna fall

Great White - Again And Again - lyrics

(Parfitt, Williams)
Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock 'n roll show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin' guitar
Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
He travelled round the world in a rock n roll band
He stood there like a child with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Now we got the rhythm, now we got the rock
Time didn't matter never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him play his rock n roll
Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
He couldn't find the rhythm cos he couldn't find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't we do it, why don't we do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
I said, why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

Great White - Any Way I Can - lyrics

(music: Kendall, Russell, Lardie, Desbrow, Cook /
lyrics: Russell)
I took a look around, it's time to shake this town;
it's bringin' me so down, hey, yeah, I'm on my way;
So tired of people's greed and how they make you bleed,
when they got all they need but tell me, "Boy, you gonna pay."
Cuttin' loose, slippin' from the noose;
loud and proud, dancin' on a cloud.
If there ever was a time, that time is now.
Gonna do it, anyway I can;
gonna make it or break it, anyway I can,
gonna take it, anyway I can;
It's my life in my hand, I hope ya understand.
A friend told me today, if it keeps on this way,
he's gonna make a play, and do the Big Goodbye.
Seems everywhere I look, the takin's all been took,
and then someone writes a book tellin' me
it's gonna be alright.
So naive, I really can't conceive,
how people lie, just waitin' 'round to die,
lookin' up for answers from the sky.
Gonna do it.

Great White - All My Love - lyrics

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end.
For many hours and days that pass ever soon
the tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?
* Chorus: All of my love, all of my love, All of my love to you. (repeat)
The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin
Chorus
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind
Chorus

Great White - Angel Song - lyrics

Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Great White
Well the times are getting hard for you little girl
I'm a-hummin and a-strummin all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock-n-roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh so cold
You're lookin tired you're lookin kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock-n-roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye she was giving what she got said
CHORUS:
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy baby
Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home You're messin around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You did know that rock-n-roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet I said
I didn't know you had a rock-n-roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now it's dark and you're gone
CHORUS

Great White - Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady - lyrics

(music & lyrics: Floyd Rose and K.J.)
She was just sixteen, she was so sweet and clean
she walked just like she know where she'd been.
She set my blood on fire, I said "Are you for hire?"
That's when she turned on me and screamed:
"That ain't no way to treat a lady,
that ain't no way to treat a lady."
She had a Southern smile, had a New York style,
I couldn't let her get away.
She was the girl of my dreams,
and because I was mean, I had to listen to her say
I had to have her bad, but she left me mad;
that ain't the way it should be.
I'm gonna find that girl, take her around the world,
I'm gonna love her 'till she screams...

Great White - All Over Now - lyrics

(Kendall, Niven, Lardie)
Woke up a little too rough
Looking like a quarter
when a dollar ain't enough
This room is just a mess
Nothing's ever working
and I couldn't care less
You know I ain't got no honey
because I ain't got no money.
Broke up
No good bye
Now it's down to slumming
and living high and dry
So don't go comin' around
no more bringin' me down
There's nothin' left, baby
It's all over now
That's why, can't cry.
Now you've got a ticket
It's all over now
So tough, all her jive
"Need a lot of action just to keep it alive"
Blue moon
Love in June
Nothin' but a promise
of trouble comin' soon
Ain't got a lover
who ain't got another
Woke up, just enough
Give you all I oughta
but it never was enough
So don't go comin' around
No more bringin' me down
There's nothin' left, baby
It's all over now
She done me wrong, it's all over town
Now she's gone, her turn to cry

Great White - Baby's On Fire - lyrics

Learnt me to rock an' I learnt me t'roll
Ya gotta use it baby t'keep your soul
Go down to town, get some reaction
Gotta go down cos I need a distraction
I've been tryin' it on with everyone in sight
She's been waitin' so long for me t'come tonight
Baby's on fire and I'm burnin' up
Sparks bin flyin' an' she can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes
There ain't no cure and there ain't no time
You gotta have it and have it fine
Don't say a word about her affections
I'm gonna come from another direction
She's been tryin' it on with everyone in sight
I've been waitin' so long for her t'come tonight
Baby's on fire and I'm burnin' up
Sparks bin flyin' an' I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes

Great White - Afterglow - lyrics

Your love
Love is all around me
Everywhere
Love has come to touch my soul
With someone who really cares
No one can deny us
People who once passed me by
Will turn their heads
I'm happy just to be with you
And lovin' you the way I do
Is everything I need to know
Just restin' in the afterglow (of your fire/love)
You
Yes, you have always been here
A feelin' deep inside
A feelin' that I could not see
Or touch, or try to hide
My love is in and without you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen baby
I'm happy just to be with you
Love is like a voice in my head
Keeps turning out (all) the things that we said
