Extreme

Your mamma told you, told you to stay away
Pappa done scold you girl, don't hear a word he say
He said, Over my body no star-crossed lover lay

You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other on the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

Tell me you're leaving it, leaving it all behind
Better believe in me, never treat you unkind
(A little closer girl) Come take my hand child
I'll love you for a million miles

You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other on the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

Save our souls, save our souls
Save our souls, save our souls

You better run, I gotta hide
And we'll meet each other on the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

You better run, and I can hide
And we'll meet each other on the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us
Don't you worry pretty mamma
They'll never break us
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
