Get A Grip

Aerosmith · Get A Grip [1993]

Got to get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip

I can't explain how to be fat city

If you gotta live large, gotta let it rip



Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city

If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip rip



Once upon a crime I thought I was cool but I don't want to brag

Once I crossed the line I think I musta zigged when I shoulda zagged



Chorus



Same old same old every day if things don't change you're just gonna rot

Cause if you do what you've always done you'll always get what you always got

Uh, could that be nothin'



Chorus



Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city

If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip, rip



Who knows for sure yeah without a doubt

What goes on when the lights go out

Or who pulls in when I pull out

And what's a one eyed trouser trout



I'm so short sighted

Now the wrong been righted

I feel so delighted

I get so excited



Chorus



Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city

If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip



Wanna get high in a New York minute

Choke that smoke, honey crack the whip

Your head gets dead

As long as you're in it

You wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip



Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity

Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip

Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city

If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip
