[Verse 1]
Take me on you rocking whores
Hit the lights and shut your doors
Grab your ankles everyone
Ain’t my way of having fun

[Chorus]
Can't give it up, got to get it up, give it up, come on Nancy
Can't get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Got to get it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Can't get it up, got to get it up, get it up

[Verse 2]
For your fantasies my ass don't speculate
I'm just your slave, your master's bait
And lots of luck into the night
Just waiting for the bright light fright

[Chorus]
Can't give it up, got to give it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Can't get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Got to get it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Get it up, got to get it up, come on Nancy

[Verse 3]
Really have a good time
Really have a good time
Sucking up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
Really have a good time
Love me 'til the sun

[Chorus]
Can't give it up, got to give it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Can't get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Got to get it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Get it up, got to get it up, come on Nancy

[Verse 4]
Get it up and down and all around
Take the ride and paint the town
Slow me down and make it fast
Scream almost and make it last
You know you got to really have a good time
You know you're really going to, really have a good time
Sucking up on moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
You know you're really going to
Really have a good time
You know you really want to
Love me until the sun

[Outro]
Can't get it up
Get it up

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
