She was a 42nd street walker
Hangin out down by a cheap hotel
See an old floosey flopping in the wind
Titties and all
That's right
She right peculiar
She try and fool you
But the girl keeps coming apart
She's so appealing
Right off the ceiling
Yeah, the girl she's coming apart
What did I tell you
She buy and sell you
Because the girl she's coming apart
She's so affected
I'm so rejected
And the girl she's coming apart
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it get me down
Don't let it get my down
She's just a screamer
A nightmare dreamer
Yeah the girl she's coming apart
She's like a call girl
Loose ends and all girl
But the girl she's coming apart
White lace and leather
She's so together
But the girl keeps coming apart
I feel sedated
Boxed up and crated
Because the girl she's coming apart
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Let it get me down
Don't let it get my down
So there she was
Buns up and kneelin
I was a wheelin and a dealin
My ace in the hole so to speak

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)
