[Verse 1]
How many times can you turn away
You fall in love and then love falls away
You turn out the love when you turn out the lights
You hit the heavens when you hit the heights
How can I turn off the flame you know how it kills me

[Chorus]
Every time you say love is gone away, I get closer
It’s a give and take every time we break, I get closer
You get closer too

[Verse 2]
I love you baby till death due us part
If love’s on a man why not un-break my heart
You start so many things so why not let’s dance
2 times in love or a one time romance
How can I turn off the flame you know how it kills me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
And I don’t know why we fight
What’s wrong with always bein right
It’s always those damnedest things
Can angels fly on broken wings
And every night when I’m alone in bed
I still smell your perfume
Then I wake up and I swear, I swear
I still remember

[Chorus]

Aerosmith

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)
