me be I feel the hunger, my spirit yearns I've got to feed the fever Of a love that burns I walk the street 'round midnight Looking for a little hot stuff I can't get enuff I just can't get enuff hot stuff Hot stuff ... hot stuff I'm hard to handle Too hot to hold I can't seem to satisfy My heart an' soul I need a woman to set me free A Little Miss Understanding To feel the need in me I walk the street 'round midnight Looking for a little hot stuff I can't get enuff I just can't get enuff hot stuff Can't get enuff hot stuff I just can't get enuff hot stuff Solo: Jon Lord ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Don't Break My Heart Again (Coverdale) 4:02 I'm gonna take it to the limit ... of my love Before I turn and walk away I've had enough of holding on The promises of yesterday Everyday of my life, it seems Trouble's knocking at my door It's hard to try and satisfy When you don't know what you're fighting for Time and again I sing your song But I've been running on empty far too long I've had enough of holding on to the past Make no mistake, it could be your last Don't break my heart again Like you did before Don't break my heart again I couldn't take anymore I never hide the feeling inside And though I'm standing with my back to the wall I know that ... even in a summer love A little bit of rain must fall But every road I take I know where it's gonna lead me to Because I've traveled every highway And they all keep coming back to you Time and again I sing your song But I've been running on empty far too long I've had enough of holding on to the past Make no mistake, it could be your last Don't break my heart again Like you did before Don't break my heart again I couldn't take anymore Solo: Bernie Marsden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Lonely Days, Lonely Nights (Coverdale) 4:14 I've been burning my bridges ... for too many years Drowning the sorrow ... of too many tears Women and whiskey ... are my only friends One gives me strength ... and one just pretends I've been waiting my whole life For things to work out right But those lonely days Turn into lonely nights Yes, they do I've heard all the wisdom ... of prophets and seers It don't soothe my passion ... and it don't ease my fears Burned by love, and blinded by snow Bad luck and trouble ... are with me ... wherever I go I've been waiting my whole life For things to work out right But those lonely days Turn into lonely nights Lonely days, lonely nights (3) Someday, babe, it gonna be alright Lonely days, lonely nights Someday, babe, it gonna be alright ... for me For me Oh Solo: Mickey Moody ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Wine, Women An' Song (Coverdale, Marsden, Moody, Murray, Lord, Paice) 3:44 I ain't an educated man as all you Fleet Street preachers know It's just the simple things in life, get my motor running ... ready to go If I can make you smile I will raise my glass An' if you don't like it then, baby, you can kiss my ass Yes, it is You can tell me it's wrong but I love wine, women an' song Yeah, my boys let me tell you about it Listen Give me a good time woman an' a love potion bottle of booze 'Cos I got a juke box heart full of honky tonk rhythm an' blues You better lock up your daughter, your sister too If you get in my way I'm gonna rock an' roll over you Ain't nothing you can do You can tell me it's wrong But I love wine, women an' song Wine, women an' song, wine, women an' song Wine, women an' song You get what you can But don't take too long Wine, women an' song Give me a rock an' roll and with a mean an' dirty blues guitar Take me to a dance hall palace with a twenty four hour bar, ow Then you better lock up your daughter, your sister too If you get in my way I'm gonna rock an' roll over you Ain't nothing you can do You can tell me it's wrong but I love wine, women an' song Wine, women an' song, wine, women an' song Wine, women an' song You get what you can But don't take too long Solo: Marsden and Moody ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Child Of Babylon (Coverdale, Marsden) 4:50 Well, I heard the sound of thunder On the day that I was born I was blinded by the lightning An' baptized in the storm My father started crying When he saw what he had done But my mother started praying Have mercy on my son He is a child of Babylon I am a child of Babylon Lord, have mercy on a wayward son Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run I am a child A child of Babylon I've fooled around so many times When I've known it ain't been right But I paint it all in colors When it really should be black or white I sail my ship through muddy waters Try to open every door When I saw the seven wonders It left me wanting more I am a child of Babylon Lord, have mercy on a wayward son Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run I am a child A child of Babylon On my day of judgment I know how it will be I'm prepared to meet my maker With no hope for charity I'll stand alone and pay the price For everything I've done 'Cos there ain't a guardian angel For a child of Babylon I am a child of Babylon Lord, have mercy on a wayward son Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run I am a child A child of Babylon Solo: Marsden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Would I Lie To You (Coverdale, Marsden, Moody) 4:30 Hey girl, if you want me Come an' get me Don't hang around or we could spend the night sleeping alone If you could change your style for a while an' look in my direction Tell me do I look the kind of guy who takes advantage of a women like you? Oh, is that what you want? Would I lie to you, would I lie to you I would do anything that you want me to But would I lie to you? Hey girl, if you need Some love an' affection I'll whisper all the sweet, sweet nothings I know you little girls like to hear Now listen If you would change your mind we would find a night of satin sheet action I promise I won't do anything Babe, unless you wanted me to And that's a fact Would I lie to you, would I lie to you I would do anything that you want me to But would I lie to you? I don't wanna sleep alone tonight After all you've put me through I've spent the whole night searching For a woman just like you Look in my eyes Hear the words that I say If my eyes tell you lies Then, baby, that's just because I want you to stay Would I lie to you, would I lie to you I would do anything that you want me to But would I lie to you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Girl (Coverdale, Marsden, Murray) 3:55 I have never known a woman who loves me like you do You treat me like a dog an' make me shake my tail for you I know the game you're playing when you're turning all your tricks It's written on your face, you just want your business fixed Now I don't need a crystal ball to see what's in your mind If I don't give you what you want, you treat me so unkind But if I'm good, an' give you love, you throw me down a bone But if I'm bad, you make me sad an' leave my love alone Pretty little crazy white girl You're just a - pretty little crazy white girl I know, baby, you ain't fooling With all your high class schooling You want everything your own way If I could, I would Do every little thing a good man should Baby, I'd really give it to you everyday Pretty little crazy white girl You're just a - pretty little crazy white girl Mean mistreater, there ain't no one to beat you But you treat me so bad I have never known a woman Who loves me like you do You treat me like a dog an' I still shake my tail for you Pretty little crazy white girl You're just a pretty little crazy white girl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Hit An' Run (Coverdale, Marsden, Moody) 3:22 I've never had a home sweet home life An' I don't want a nine to five So many women I know Think they can tie me down But I will never let them take me alive I hit an' run Hit an' run (4) Now some women say they don't want nothing But a sweet talking bull of a man I've heard it before, I can't hear it no more 'Cos they all take whatever they can But still I want a heartbreaker A lovemaker, a soul shaker A women who can turn me on For just a little - hit an' run Hit an' run She can be a love stealer A double dealer, a freewheeler As long as she can turn me on For just a little - hit an' run A little bit of - hit an' run You can keep your lock and key No ball and chain can harness me Take me home tonight Love and treat me right But in the morning you'll find me gone I hit an' run Voice box solo: Marsden Slide solo: Moody ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Till The Day I Die (Coverdale) 4:27 When ice cold winds of winter chill me to the bone An' thoughts of summer breezes, turn my heart to stone That's when I need a hand to guide me When it's more that I can bear A shoulder I can cry on Someone to lead me there An' give me love Give me love (2) Till the day I die (2) Slowly I awaken To the Weavers plan for me To drift upon the waters of my own uncertainty To look for a companion Who will share my destiny A guiding hand to understand An' walk the road with me An' give me love Give me love (2) Till the day I die (2) I wanna be the master of my destiny I never wanna crawl an' beg for no sympathy When everything I have is yours An' all I ask of you Is give me love Give me love (2) Till the day I die (2) I never wanna be the first to show I'm down But I'm never gonna wear the frozen smile of a clown When everything I have is yours An' all I ask of you Is give me love Give me love (2) Till the day I die (2) Solo: Lord Acoustic guitars: Moody ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Whitesnake use Gibson, Kramer and Washburn Guitars, Moog Synthesizers, Marshalls, Ludwig Drums, Paiste Cymbals.
