Ain't That A Bitch

Aerosmith · Nine Lives

Up in smoke you´ve lost another lover
As you take the hit of your last cigarette
Strung out, burnt out
Yeah you´re down on your luck
And you don´t give a...
´Til the best part of you starts to twitch
Ain´t that a bitch

Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin´ my mind
´Cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you´re gonna find
You think you´re high and fine as wine
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
´Cause love is like wrong turn
On a cold night...yeah
Ain´t that a bitch, Ain´t that a bitch

In a daze
In the throes of emotion
You see God in the Devil´s eyes
Then you fall so far from grace
You wouldn´t know a kiss
If it was on your face
You can tell it to the jury
But you ain´t got no case

Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin´ my mind
´Cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you´re gonna find
You think you´re fine as calamine but not
enough to scratch a seven year itch
´Cause love is like the last licks
Outta Hendrix...yeah
Ain´t that a bitch, Ain´t that a bitch

Then you feel so out of place
Lickin´ up the arsenic
From the same old lace
You know the stuff is poison
But you gotta have a taste

You gotta
Freak out! I'm alone now
I feel just like I'm losin´ my mind
´Cause love is like the right dress
On the wrong girl
You never know what you´re gonna find
You think you´re high and fine as wine
Then you wind up with your face in a ditch
´Cause love is like a warm gun
On a cold night...yeah
Ain´t that a bitch, Ain´t that a bitch
