[Verse 1]
I was a young man
Whose Intentions were good
Kept my hands in my pockets
The way that I should
I soon found out
They got a mind of their own
Beginning to think
I had a heart ade of stone

[Chorus]
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off

[Verse 2]
I try to remember
I try to forget
I'll keep my promise
Is that what I said
I had your number
But I didn't call
I got no excuse
I got my back to the wall

[Chorus]
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off

[Verse 3]
My eyes don't want to see
My ears don't want to hear
The things that make me feel
That keep me so endeared to you
It makes me think
Is that the best that I can do
It doesn't matter
The time that I fall
I'm up for the next one
Like I'm 10 feet tall

[Chorus]
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off

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)
