[Intro]
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push come to shove
When you're bitching on

[Verse 1]
Now look at every
I'm tonne on you without a doubt
Said the music does the talking
But all you heard is talk about

[Refrain]
The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys, yeah

[Verse 2]
Rosie said she was fine for two
With blonde hair, by crack it
Miles of blue
Soogie, she was on my side
Because she and Nancy
Ah they took me for a ride

[Refrain]
The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys, yeah

[Chorus]
Talk about it
Walk about it
Talk about it
Talkabubi
Talk about it
Talk about it
Dedumdudidudi

[Post-Chorus]
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push come to shove
When you're bitching on

[Verse 3]
She looked, well, about 35 to me
When mine was still coming on to you
But I was covered back, back then
Because me and the boys
And the Toys in the Attic
Her sister, she was lank a fin
Never tought I'd given in
Her candle of youth was burning low
But me and the boys
Knew something had to go

[Refrain]
The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys, yeah

[Chorus]
Talk about it
Walk about it
Talk about it

Talk about it
Talk about it

When you're bitching on

When you live alone
Push come to shove
When you're bitching on
Huh!

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push come to shove
When you're bitching on
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push come to shove
When you're bitching on
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push come to shove
When you're bitching on

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)
