Shocking!

Psychedelic sandwich

[Verse 1]
Any way you can feel it
You shouldn't try to conceal it baby
You got to make up your mind (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Any way I can steal it
Any way you can deal it to me
You know the pleasure's all mine (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
You got to love it
You better own it
You got to love it
And God knows it
You got to shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Going around and round, around and, around and
Around and, around and, around and, around and, around and, around and that's right

[Verse 2]
I wanna say you're a firecracker
I wanna say you're switchblade knife
You make your sex a career (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Comin' down from an all-night tripper
Pull your foot from the ruby slipper
'Cause you can't get there from here (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
You got to love it
You better own it
You got to love it
And God knows it
You got to shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Going around and round, around and, around and
Around and, around and, around and, around and, around and, around...

[Middle]
I got this feeling deep inside my gut
Overwhelming feeling of I know not what
One thing's for sure, I ain't got time for those who can't relate

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
You got to learn to love the midnight madness
You got to revel in the good and badness
If ying and yang is your thing (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
What I gotta do to try and reach you
Is it for real or just a double feature
So let's go throw the I Ching (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
You got to love it
You wanna own it
You got to love it
And God knows it
You got to shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Going around and round, around and, around and
Around and, around and, around and, around and, around and, around...

[Outro]
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
You got to love it
Yeah, yeah, ooh

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)
