Dude (Looks Like A Lady)
Aerosmith · Permanet Vacation
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She a long lost love at first bite
Baby maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
That's right
(that that)
(that that)
Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody say
Forgive me if I seem out of line
Then she whipped out her gun
And tried to blow me away
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
So never judge a book by it's cover
Or who you're going to love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a venus
Lord imagine my surprise
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
(that that)Dude looks like a lady
Baby let me follow you down
Let me take a peek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me all night
Baby let me follow you down
Turn the other cheek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me, do me
(guitar solo)

Dude (Looks Like A Lady)
Released in 1993 on Permanet Vacation, this track stands as a defining moment in Aerosmith's late-career resurgence. The song blends the band's signature hard rock energy with a polished, radio-friendly sheen that marked a shift toward mainstream pop-rock success. Featuring the iconic vocal performance of Steven Tyler and the driving guitar work of Joe Perry, the recording captures the band's ability to merge classic rock anthems with contemporary production techniques. It remains a staple of their discography, often associated with their status as one of the most enduring acts in American rock history during the 1990s.
