[Chorus 1]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta love the sweet taste of India
Blame it on the beat of the drum

[Chorus 2]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done

[Verse 1]
Oh yeah, she's got that kind of love incense
That lives in her back room
And when it mixes with the funk, my friend
It turns into perfume
When you are born, you're afraid of the darkness
And then you're afraid of the light
But I'm not afraid when I dance with my shadow
This time I'm gonna get it right
To think of what I'll get tonight
Just lookin' for a little taste (a taste of India)
She'll steal the smile right off your face
Yeah

[Bridge]
Her yin and yang
Is just the thing
She's unpredictable, my friend

[Chorus 2]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done

[Verse 2]
It's like your first taste love of vindaloo
That sets your heart on fire
And if you let her stuff get into you
It will be all that you desire
When you make love to a sweet tantric priestess
Drink in the bliss of delight
But I'm not afraid when I dance with her shadow
This time I'm gonna get it right
She's gonna whet my appetite
Just lookin' for a little taste (a taste of India)
She'll steal the smile right off your face
Yeah

[Bridge]
She friend of mine
She concubine
The sweetest wine
I got to make her mine

[Chorus 1]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta love the sweet taste of India
Blame it on the beat of the drum

[Chorus 2]
God, I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done

[Outro]
Just think of what I'll get tonight
She's gonna whet my appetite
Just lookin' for a little taste (a taste of India)
She'll steal the smile right off your face

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)
