[Intro]
[Cats screeching]
Whoooooaaaaaaa yayeah!

[Verse 1]
Well well well
I feel just like I'm fallin in love
There's a new cool
Some kind of verbooty
It fits me like a velvet glove, yeah
And it's cool
Shu bop a doo ba
She talking to me Juba to Jive
Yeah, well, the girl's in love
No doubt about it
The moment of truth has arrived

[Bridge]
And in a wink
The funk was all around me
And I think
I'm dead in love again

[Chorus]
Nine lives, feeling lucky
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, live for ten

[Verse 2]
I got good luck
In certain situations
I'm feeling like I hung the moon
And then at time
I'm so weak from loving
I couldn't even carry a tune, yeah
But now I'm back
Oh yes I am
I maybe fall apart at the seams
I had a nightmare
Believe me when I tell you
Nobody ever dies in their dreams

[Bridge]
Yeah, I think I need a stay of execution
In a wink, I'm dead in love again

[Chorus]
Nine lives, puss and booty
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, live for ten

[Verse 3]
Well well well
Engine room to bombardier
Is this a dream?
I died and went to Heaven
She's enough to make you
Cry in your beer
How can a good thing
7 come 11
Slip into a fare thee well
And how can one man's
Little bit of Heaven
Turn into another man's Hell?

[Bridge]
Yeah, I think I need a stay of execution
Yeah I know, I'm dead in love again

[Chorus]
Nine lives, hello lucky
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, try for 10
Nine lives, taking over
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, live for 10
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah......
Nine lives, hello lucky
Nine lives, live again
Nine lives, it ain't over
Nine lives, live for 10

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)
