Slip of the Tongue Lyrics

[Verse]

Sometime after midnight

The heat begins to rise

Girl, you'd shame the devil

With that look that's in your eyes

I know what's on your mind

And I can't run away

If I don't give you what you want

There's goin' to be some hell to pay

[Verse]

Creepin' up behind me

Knockin' at my door

I'd never be too blind to see

Just what you're lookin' for

You roll me over

Make me moan

Ooh, such a velvet touch

You'd melt a heart of stone

[Chorus]

Anytime, anyplace

I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face

A slave to love and keep you young

All it takes and no mistakes

Is just a slip of the tongue

Ooh

Just a slip of the tongue

[Verse]

And if I want a little love

I gotta take a lot pain

Make me think a thousand times

Before I kiss again

I'm waitin' on you

Every day and every nite

If I don't try to satisfy

There's gon' be a fist fight

[Chorus]

Anytime, anyplace

I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face

A slave to love and keep you young

All it takes and no mistakes

Is just a slip of the tongue

Ooh

Just a slip of the tongue

[Verse]

The sun is slowly risin'

And I'm sinkin' to my knees

I'm dyin' just to close my eyes

I'm beggin', darling, please

I hear you callin'

And I'm crawlin' 'cross the floor

I give you everythin' I got

And still you ask for more

Ooh

[Chorus]

Anytime, anyplace

I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face

A slave to love and keep you young

All it takes and no mistakes

Is just a slip of the tongue

A slip of the tongue

[Chorus]

Just a slip of the tongue

Slip of the tongue

Just a slip of the tongue

A slip of the tongue

No, oh

Cheap an’ Nasty Lyrics

[Intro]

Come on, baby

Mmm

[Verse]

I get so confused

But, my heart knows you're one of a kind

Leather and lace, an angels face

Ridin' on a one track mind

[Pre-Chorus]

You're fully loaded with cruise control

My four wheels rock with your back seat roll

[Chorus]

You're cheap an' nasty

All you wanna do is give it up, give it up

Cheap an' nasty

Come on and do the dirty with me

[Verse]

I get so excited, babe, when I'm invited

To ride in your limousine

You drive it every day, burn it every night

I wonder how you keep it so clean

[Pre-Chorus]

Smooth accelerator

You get me so loose

You keep your motor runnin'

Till I run out of juice

[Chorus]

You're cheap an' nasty

All you wanna do is give it up, give it up

Cheap an' nasty

Come on and do the dirty with me

[Bridge]

Get dirty, baby

Just to my left of it

Don't talk with your mouth full

Ooh, baby

[Bridge]

Give it up, give it up

[Hook]

Cheap an' nasty

[Bridge]

I never knew it could be this way (Cheap an' nasty)

I never thought I'd ever complain (Cheap an' nasty)

But, gimme a second just to catch my breath (Cheap an' nasty)

Babe, before you do it again (Cheap an' nasty)

[Pre-Chorus]

All the boys call your name

Down the wishing well

Baby, when you go

You're like a cat out of hell

[Chorus]

You're cheap an' nasty

All you wanna do is give it up, give it up

Cheap an' nasty

All you wanna do is give it up, give it up

Cheap an' nasty

All you wanna do is give it up, give it up

Cheap an' nasty

Come on and do the dirty with me

[Outro]

Come on and do the dirty

Come on and do the dirty with me

Kittens Got Claws Lyrics

[Verse]

Walkin' down the street, you're the center of my universe

You got the world in your pocket, my manhood locked in your purse

You ain't a bad girl, honey, no matter what the neighbors say

It's just that you wear those skin-tight dresses with your G-string tuned to A

[Hook]

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

[Verse]

Heaven-sent, you're an angel dressed in black

Cool, stiletto strut, you're a drop jaw cardiac

You're the genuine feline, prettiest girl I've ever seen

With your thief of hearts smile, you're a certified pleasure machine

[Hook]

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

[Pre-Chorus]

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur

Get what you want with your pussycat purr

[Chorus]

(But the kittens got claws) She'll tear your heart out

(Kittens got claws) She'll scratch your back

(Kittens got claws) She'll tease and please you

(Kittens got claws) She's a heart attack

[Verse]

You treat me good, sometimes you treat me bad

But keep it up, honey, you're the best time I've ever had

No matter what you put me through, I must confess

Ooh, you got more style than a brand new XJS

[Hook]

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

[Pre-Chorus]

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur

You get what you want with your pussycat purr

[Chorus]

(But the kittens got claws) She'll tear your heart out

(Kittens got claws) She'll scratch your back

(Kittens got claws) She'll tease and please you

(Kittens got claws) She's a heart attack

[Bridge]

(Just heat it up, baby)

Heat it up, heat it up

[Verse]

Walkin' down the street, you're the center of my universe

You got the world in your pocket, my manhood locked in your purse

I know you ain't a bad girl, honey, no matter what the neighbors say

It's just that you wear those skin-tight dresses with your G-string tuned to A

[Hook]

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

[Pre-Chorus]

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur

You get what you want with your pussycat purr

[Chorus]

(But the kittens got claws) She'll tear your heart out

(Kittens got claws) She'll scratch your back

(Kittens got claws) She'll tease and please you

(Kittens got claws) She'll blow your stack

[Chorus]

(Kittens got claws) She'll tear your heart out

(Kittens got claws) She'll scratch your back

(Kittens got claws) She'll tease and please you

(Kittens got claws) She's a heart attack

[Outro]

You scratch my back, baby, and I'll scratch yours

Wings of the Storm Lyrics

[Verse]

On and on, the road goes on

And it'll go on forever

Time will show if you and I

Will walk that road together

[Verse]

Through fire and water, ice and snow

Heaven above us and Hell below

Holding on, trying to walk the line

With sweet temptation running close behind

[Chorus]

I'm talking 'bout love

Ooh, love

Like a fire forever burning

A flaming heart that's yearning, more and more

A love to keep us warm

On the wings of the storm

[Verse]

Everyday, every night

I keep hoping it'll be all right

Trying to leave the past behind

Still looking for some peace of mind

[Verse]

Destiny brought us together

Promised us a time that would last forever

Though it's all been said before

It's the kind of love worth fighting for

[Chorus]

I'm talking about love

Ooh, love

Like a fire forever burning

A flaming heart that's yearning, more and more

A love to keep you warm

On the wings of the storm

[Verse]

On and on, the road goes on

And it'll go on forever

Time will show if you and I

Will walk that road together

[Chorus]

I'm talking about love

Ooh, love

Like a fire forever burning

A flaming heart that's yearning, more and more

A love to keep us warm

On the wings of the storm

[Outro]

My love will keep you warm

On the wings of the storm
