Only My Heart Talkin’Alice Cooper

Featuring: Steven Tyler

Songwriter: Andy Goldmark Bruce Roberts

Producer: Desmond Child

Anybody's dream can fall apart
Anybody's mask can break
Couldn't tell you how I wanted you
Enough to make you want to stay
I never said the words out loud
I guess I couldn't get 'em straight
Baby, give me one more chance
Before you walk away

It's only, only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only, only my heart talkin'
Sayin' things I never thought I'd say
Can't you hear me knocking
Tried to fool you but it wouldn't play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin' to you

Everytime I take it to the edge
Everytime I'm so afraid
Don't you know I cry my eyes out, babe
Everytime you look away
Oh, I almost dropped a tear
But I caught it just in time
I'd say those things you want to hear
If you'd help me, help me, help me try

It's only, only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only, only my heart talkin'
Sayin' things I never thought I'd say
Can't you hear me knocking
I Tried to fool you but it wouldn't play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin' to you

Well, I don't want to hide away
Hide away without you, baby
Don't you go and run away
Come and help me, baby
Just a little help, baby
Oh, my little baby

It's only, only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only, only my heart talkin'
Sayin' things I never thought I'd say
Can't you hear me knocking
I Tried to fool you but it wouldn't play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin' to you

It's only, only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only, only my heart talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only, only, my heart talkin'

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
