Stormbringer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coming out of nowhere
Driving like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
Because it's coming your way
[Chorus]
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's going to make you bleed
And you know he's gonna get you
[Verse 2]
Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way
[Chorus]
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's going to make you bleed
[Verse 3]
Coming out of nowhere
Driving like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
Because it's coming your way
[Outro]
'Cause it's coming your way
'Cause it's coming your way
'Cause it's coming your way
'Cause it's coming your way
'Cause it's coming your way
Love Don’t Mean a Thing Lyrics
[Intro]
Mmm
Oh baby
I got to get down
[Verse 1]
If I work hard every day
For my money
If I work my fingers down to the bone
That ain't funny, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Now if I see
Something I can't buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try
To get my money
I need my money, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
A woman who ain't got a dime
I can't use her no
If she ain't got no cash money
I've got to refuse her, I've got to refuse her
[Chorus]
I need a woman
With a whole lot of will
So she help me, baby
Help me pay my bill
I need my money, ooh yeah
I got to have money, yeah
[Bridge]
I need loving to give me a living
So don't ask me, I don't need forgiving
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I won't stand the loss, yes!
[Chorus]
Well I need a woman
With a whole lot of will
She can help me pay my bill
I need my money, yes
I want my money
[Verse 3]
Before I say my prayers
I count my money
When I wake up
It had to be there
My money
[Chorus]
You see, love, it don't mean a thing
When she loves you
She can't bring, can't bring you no money
I've got to have my money
[Outro]
Looking for loving
I need a living
Holy Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said, "boy what have you done?
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking about the moon and sun?"
But I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies
[Chorus]
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand?
[Verse 2]
Called to the captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
"Is this the way to follow?"
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
"I am a simple man"
Was all he said to me
[Chorus]
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?
[Verse 3]
Heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night
Saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not enough sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me
[Chorus]
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand?
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?
[Outro]
I call out your name
Out in the cold of the night
You left me alone
Hold On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby
[Chorus]
Hold on--I feel I'm getting ready
Hold on--I feel I'm rocking steady
Hold on--I'm gonna make it with you woman
Hold on--You got to give me some love, give me some love
[Verse 2]
I held back before
But your love took me easily
You got the power
I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give
Your love keeps coming on strong
Although it's mine now
I know it won't be for long
It won't be for long
You know it's comin' on strong
There's something in the saying
That a woman needs a little more time
I'm getting tired of waiting for you
Giving me some kind of sign, hey yeah!
[Chorus]
Hold on--I've got to love you when I want to
Hold on--You got to love me when I want you to
Hold on--I ain't gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on--No never no more
[Verse 3]
I know the game you're playing
And I guess you think I'm easily led
You think the words you're saying
Are really going through my head
I'm gonna take you home
And give you all I can
I'll prove to you, baby
That really I'm a man
Really I'm a man
[Chorus]
Hold on--I know I'm feeling ready
Hold on--I know I'm rocking steady
Hold on--Guess I've made it with you woman
Hold on--I've got you giving me love
[Verse 4]
Something that you give me
Keeps me hanging on
No use me staying
There's nothing to be done
I'm gonna to take you home
And give you all that I can, baby
I'll prove to you woman
That really I'm a man
Really I'm a man
I'm doing all that I can
[Chorus/Outro]
Hold on--I only want to take you higher
Hold on--You are the root of my desire
Hold on--C'mon baby light my fire
Hold on--Wooh-hooh
Hold on--Got to give it to you baby wait
Hold on--Baby baby baby babe
Hold on--Got to find out that love is the only way
Hold on--Come on baby, come on baby
Hold on--I gotta, got to give it to ya
Hold on--Wooh-hooh-hooh-ooh
Hold on--Got to give to ya every way
Hold on--Every night and every day
Hold on--Got to, got to, got to give it to ya
Hold on--Wooh! ow!, ugh, fuck, ugh
Hold on--Hold on
[Fade]
Lady Double Dealer Lyrics
[Intro]
Get out of my way
I'm getting tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doing what you wanna do
I've been down down down down down
Got to get my feet back on the ground
[Chorus]
Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
[Verse 1]
I'm not satisfied
Dealing with second hand goods
You wanted something for nothing
Taking everything you could
You been around, ugh, I got the news
But you ain't waiting around for me to lose
[Chorus]
Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
[Bridge]
I gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down (ooh baby)
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my love
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Two timing woman
Wanna take me for a ride
You're a hard lover honey
But you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool out of me
[Outro]
Get outta my way
Get outta my way
Get outta my way
You Can’t Do It Right (With the One You Love) Lyrics
5 ContributorsYou Can’t Do It Right (Remix) LyricsHave you ever thought of the feeling
I get when I'm alone with you
It's causing me worry and trouble
I'm going 'round in circles
Don't know what I'm gonna do
You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love
You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music
To keep myself together
Although it makes me feel so good
You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love
Sometimes in the morning
I wake up without you
Can't get up, it's getting me down
Tell me what you're trying to do
Later in the evening
You come home feeling low
If you'd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show
You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love
High Ball Shooter Lyrics
[Verse 1: David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes]
Well I'm a rock and roll preacher
Not a Sunday school teacher
You aren't no shady lady
But I love the way you strut your stuff
You're a snow queen looking mean
Trying to make it on the scene
I guess you love it
'Cause I always see you hanging around
[Chorus: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
[Verse 2: Glenn Hughes, David Coverdale]
A magnet brought you to me
Told me your name was Jo
You said you liked my music
And you really dug the show, oh
Now I wanna play piano
But my fingers don't agree
They're busy on you woman
And I feel your fingers working on me, oh
[Chorus: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 3: David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes]
It's time to leave you honey
I know you're feeling sad
Don't you cry now baby
You know that only makes me mad
And I don't like feeling mad, wooh!
I see you everywhere I go
Every town and place
I can't recall your name
But I know I won't forget your sweet face
Mmm, I can't forget your face
[Chorus: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
[Outro: David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes]
'Cause you're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
Sure ripped the low ones off me
The Gypsy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me gypsy can you see me
In your crystal ball
I'm asking you what can I do
My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer
So I've come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end
[Verse 2]
I came to see you once before
One hundred years ago
You took my hand and broke the spell
That should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly
So I'm here again my friend
For now my life is at an end
[Instrumental outro]
Soldier of Fortune Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
"Come lay with me and love me"
And I would surely stay
[Chorus]
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound of a windmill going around
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
[Verse 2]
Many times I've been a traveler, I looked for something new
In days of old, when nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
[Chorus]
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound of a windmill going around
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
[Outro]
Yes, I can hear the sound of a windmill going around
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
