[Verse 1]
Diamonds, rubies, pearls, fame and fortune, no less
Won't get you what you need, only double-crosses and death
It's only your fear, sister dear, never fear
No one's gonna make you fight for your love life tonight, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
How do I know?
It's because I believe
In a love that is so strong
It's a love crush number one
If a love crush says come on

[Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on
Yeah, I said come on
Wow, I said come on
Yes, like this
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on
Yes, like this

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you know ravings, cravings, savings, addictions for sure
We don't need no panic, fascist no more
Reality for fear, sister dear, don't you fear
No one's gonna make you fight for your love life tonight, oh no

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do I know?
It's because I believe
In a love that is so strong
In a love crush number one
It's a love that says come on

[Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on
Yeah, I said come on
Wow, I said come on
Yes, like this
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on
Yes, like this

[Bridge]
I said no longer room at the top
Guns bead down and the pressure drop
No longer room at the top
The guns bead down and the pressure dropped

[Pre-Chorus]
How do I know?
It's because I believe
In a love that is so strong
It's a love crush number one

[Chorus]
And that's a love that says come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on
You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight

Billy Idol

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
