Love On The Rocks

Poison · Double Dose: Ultimate Hits [2011]

Love On the Rocks

She goes down slow like a shot of gin

She's got an angel's face and the devil's grin

She kinda stared me down as I looked her up

She said "I'm your poison, now you drink a cup."



In the heat of the night is when she comes alive

She's gonna push you push you til she's satisfied

I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips

She whispers "If you wanna taste my love why don't you swallow this."



CHORUS:

Love on the rocks

Love on the rocks

She's my shot

Love on the rocks

Ooooh lick it up



She gets so damn close you can feel her breathe

Just the way she moves, soft and slippery

She lives just around the corner, just down the street

All night we played the horizontal bop right between the sheets



Love on the rocks

Love on the rocks

She's my shot

Love on the rocks

Love On The Rocks

The song fits comfortably within their extensive discography, bridging the gap between their classic hits and subsequent efforts to refine their sound. It remains a notable song in their catalogue, reflecting the consistent vocal delivery and guitar work that have kept the band relevant for decades. Fans and newcomers alike can appreciate the track as a solid example of the band's commitment to polished, radio-friendly rock production.
