Carry your load Lyrics

(Coverdale)

I take what I want,
And I got my eye on you
It's late in the evening
What are you gonna do

I got the place,
If you got the time,
I got the motion, baby,
If you got the mind

So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your load, down the long, winding road

All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart,
Put a little love in your heart

I know what I want,
And it's close to the bone
Sooner or later, baby,
I'll be taking you home

You got the cool,
But, you give me the heat
You got the music, baby,
But, you give me the beat

So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your love,
Down the long, winding road

All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart

Wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your love
Down the long, winding road
You got to carry your load
Down the long, winding road

Cheap an' nasty Lyrics

(Coverdale/Vandenberg)

Come on baby...

I get so confused,
But, my heart knows you're one of a kind
Leather an' lace, an angels face,
Riding on a one track mind
You're fully loaded with cruise control,
My four wheels rock with your back seat roll

You're cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up
Cheap an' nasty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me

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
Smooth accelerator, you get me so loose,
You keep your motor running till I run out of juice

You're cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up
Cheap an' nasty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me

Cheap an' nasty

I never knew it could be this way
An' I never thought I'd ever complain,
But, gimme a second just to catch my breath
Babe, before you do it again

All the boys call your name
Down the wishing well,
Baby, when you go
You're like a cat out of hell

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 an' do the dirty with me

Come on an' do the dirty,
Come on an' do the dirty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me
Come on an' do the dirty with me...

Child of Babylon Lyrics

(Coverdale/Marsden)

When I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born,
I was blinded by the lighting
An' baptised in the storm
My father started crying
When he saw what he had done,
But, my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son,
He is a child of Babylon

I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon

When I've fooled around so many times
When I've known it ain't been right,
But, I paint it all in colours
When it really should be black and white
I sail my ship through muddy waters,
Try to open every door,
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more

I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon

On my day of judgement
I know how it will be,
I'm prepared to meet my maker
With no hope for charity
I'll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I've done,
'Cos there ain't guardian angel
For a child of Babylon

I am a child,
A child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon

Child of Babylon

Come an' get it Lyrics

(Coverdale)

Are you woman enough
To take a man like me
Baby, I know what you got
You make it easy to see...

Now I wanna give you my loving
Believe me, babe, it's true
Maybe more than you bargained for,
But, now it's up to you...

So if you want it, come an' get it,
I got something for you...
If you want it, come an' get it,
I'll leave it up to you...

Are you a women who takes
Anything you want
Or the kind who says that you do
Then tell me later you don't...

Now I wanna give you my loving
I knew the moment we met
You gotta take me as you find me, baby,
Cos' what you see is what you get...

So if you want it, come an' get it,
I got something for you
If you want it, come an' get it,
I'll leave it up to you...

Are you woman enough
To take a man like me
Baby, you know what I got
I make it easy to see

So if you want it, come an' get it,
I got something for you
If you want it, come an' get it,
I'll leave it up to you...

Come On Lyrics

I don't go looking for trouble,
It's always coming my way,
But, I've been looking for you,
And like the summer sun, you welcome my day.

So come on, come on,
And give your man some rock 'n' roll,
And get yourself some sweet rock 'n' roll.

I'm just a soldier of fortune,
Must be the gypsy in me.
I ain't along when I say
I never needed love so badly before.

Hear me singing "Come on, come on"!
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
And get yourself some sweet rock 'n' roll.

(Solo)

I keep singing, "Come on, come on"!
"Come on, come on"!
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
Give your man some rock 'n' roll,
Come on and get some sweet rock,
Come on and get some sweet rock,
Come on and get some sweet rock 'n' roll.
Must be the gypsy in me,
Can see the angel in you.

Crying Lyrics

(Coverdale/Vandenberg)

I smell trouble
And where there's smoke
There must be fire...
You sow your seeds of jealousy
And the flames
Just keep on growing higher...

This can't be love anymore,
I know, 'cause I've done
Everything I can...
And all that you can do
I pour gasoline
On a burning man...

Tears of rage, tears of pain,
Burning my eyes,
I realise, I'm crying...
Crying... I'm crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...

Lies...
I can never understand,
You play your cards under the table,
Dealing me a losing hand...

Tears of rage, tears of pain,
Burning my eyes,
I realise, I'm crying
Crying... I'm crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...
Crying, always crying, crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...

I want to be there
When your demons come to call...

I'm gonna finish what you started, baby,
Watch you burn little house down,
Burn it down, down, down...

Then I'll see you crying,
Crying... Crying...
Bitter tears falling like rain...

Crying in the rain Lyrics

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thoughts of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind,
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain...

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more,
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain

Crying in the rain...

Dancing girls Lyrics

(Coverdale)

I don't need a doctor, I don't need a priest,
I don't need no superstitious cures for my release
I'm flesh an' blood, skin an' bone
A little petticoat company can't get me stoned

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night...

I got a one track notion on a feminine squeeze,
A sackfull of love an' a mindful of fantasies
A midnight rider on a stallion steam,
I got an old man's weakness hanging on a young man's dream

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night...

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,

Bring on the dancing girls...

Day Tripper Lyrics

Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out.
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out.
She was a day tripper,
One way ticket, yeah.
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

Day tripper, day tripper, day tripper.

She's a big teaser,
She took me half the way there.
She's a big teaser,
She took me half the way there.
She was a day tripper,
One way ticket, yeah.
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

(Solo)

Day tripper,
Sunday driver, yeah.
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

Day tripper, day tripper, day tripper.

Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out.
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out.
She was a day tripper,
Sunday driver, yeah.
It took me so long to find out, baby, and I found out.

Day tripper...

Don't break my heart again Lyrics

(Coverdale)

I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love,
Before I turn and walk away
I've had enough of holding on
The promises of yesterday
Every day of my life, it seems,
Trouble's knocking at my door,
It's hard to try and satisfy
When you don't know what you're fighting for

Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last

Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore

I never hide the feeling inside,
And though I'm standing my back to the wall,
I know that even in a summer love
A little bit of rain must fall
But, every road I take I know
Where it's gonna lead me to,
Because I've travelled every highway
And they all keep coming back to you

Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last

Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
Don't break my heart

Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
