"Pour Some Sugar On Me"

Step inside, walk this way
You and me babe, Hey, hey!

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah

Hey!
C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah

Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up

You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah

[guitar solo]

You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cos I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet

Do you take sugar? one lump or two?

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
Pour some sugar on me
Oh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
Get it, come get it
Pour your sugar on me
Ooh
Pour some sugar on me
Yeah! Sugar me!
:dude:

Eh... to each his own... I personally don't "do" rap/hip hop
Nothin wrong with.. "good gracious, her ass is bodacious" Those lyrics are classic, beethoven would be proud..

Love of a Lifetime was "our song" with my first boyfriend, and my second boyfriend, and then it was going to be the wedding party dance at my wedding. I have always said that when I get married that song will be played at my wedding. It's my favorite song of all time, I could listen to it over and over.

It's as much a rock ballad as Elvis Presley is....

Rock has had many different faces through the decades... and rock ballads aren't always about how great love is or how horrible love is.

If you don't agree with the choices, why not suggest your own?


I have to agree with most, I never considered Don't Fear the Reaper to be Ballad :shrug: when I think Ballad, I usually think of a slow love song :shrug: Wasn't that song about suicide :shrug:

Don't Fear the Reaper is a love song... yes it's about suicide but it's about a suicide pact so that they can be together forever in life as well as in death like Romeo and Juliet.

Well there you have it... I didn't find Romeo and Juliet and the whole suicide not suicide, then its real suicide thing all that romantic :drama: :lol:

Kris most of them songs are not rock ballads and anyone that knows crap about music, knows that Scorpions ruled the rock ballads.

My favorite was alone again by Dokken.

I'd like to see you in the morning light
I like to feel you when it comes to night
Now I'm here and I'm all alone
Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again

Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you

I said stay, but you turned away
Tried to say that it was me
Now I'm here and I've lost my way
Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again

Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you

I tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you

Warrant - I Saw Red Lyrics

Oo it must be magic
How inside your eyes
I see my destiny
Every time we kiss
I feel you breathe your love so deep inside of me
And if the moon and stars should fall
They'd be easy to replace
I would lift you up to heaven
And you would take their place

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled on to the floor
And I didn't need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red then I closed the door

I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore

Everyday I wake up
I thank God that you are still a part of me
Opened up the door to which
So many people never find the key
And if the sun should ever fail to send its light
We will burn a thousand candles
And make everything alright

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled onto the floor
And I didn't need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red then I closed the door
I don't think I'm gonna love you anymore

I've been hurt
And I've been blind
I'm not sure that I'll be fine
I never thought it would end this way
Oo it must be magic

Forever by KISS

I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, I could lie to myself, but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over you

I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

Chorus:
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone

I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

Chorus - Ya-ah!

I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive

'Cause I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

Chorus (repeat twice)
