Kiss - 1974

Strutter

Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons

I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her, oh
But when she wants she'll pass you by

Chorus
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter

She wears her satins like a lady
She gets her way just like a child
Ya take her home and she says "Maybe", baby
She takes you down and drives you wild

Chorus
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood
Strutter

Solo (Ace)

I know a thing or two about her
I know she'll only make you cry
She'll let you walk the street beside her
But when she wants, she'll pass you by

Chorus
Everybody says she's lookin' good
And the lady knows it's understood

Firehouse

Paul Stanley

Intro
Whoo hoo, yeah
Whoo hoo, yeah

She'll adore you, and she'll floor you
With her wisdom and her vision
And you'll love it, and think of it
Til' ya lose all intuition, come on

She can move you, and improve you
With her love and her devotion
And she'll thrill you, and she'll chill you
But you're headed for commotion

And you'll need her, so you'll feed her
With your endless dedication
And the quicker, you get sicker
She'll remove your medication

Chorus
Get the firehouse
'Cause she sets my soul afire
Get the firehouse
And the flames keep gettin' higher

Bridge
She's like bad weather but it seems so good
You'd never leave her but you know you should

Cold Gin*

My heater's broke and I'm so tired

The girl next door, her lights are out, yeah

Oh, it's cold gin time again
You know it'll always win
Cold gin time again

Around the corner at the liquor store
Haha, the cheapest stuff is all I need
To get me back on my feet again

Let me be your Monday man
I'll take you anywhere you want
Just as fast as I can

It doesn't matter what ya wanna do
It doesn't matter where you wanna go
Just gotta decide girl and then ya let me know

Oh, did you ever want lovin'

With the neighbors
And the night keeps
Gettin' longer
And the urge keeps getting stronger

And your dyin'
And you're wonderin'
Does she love you
A knock comes at your door (let me in honey)

You'll be my bundle of joy
