Sometime after midnight
The heat begins to rise
Girl, you'd shame the Devil
With that look that's in your eyes

I know what's on your mind
An' I can't run away
If I don't give you what you want
There's going to be some hell to pay

Creeping up behind me
Knocking at my door
I'll never be too blind to see
Just what you're looking for
You roll me over, make me moan
Oh, such a velvet touch
You'd melt a heart of stone

Anytime, anyplace
I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face
A slave to love an' keep you young
All it takes an' no mistakes
Is just a slip of the tongue

Just a slip of the tongue

An' if I want a little love
I gotta take a lot of pain
Make me think a thousand times
Before I kiss again
I'm waiting on you every day an' every night
If I don't try to satisfy
There's gonna be a fist fight

Anytime, anyplace
I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face
A slave to love an' keep you young
All it takes an' no mistakes
Is just a slip of the tongue

Just a slip of the tongue

The sun is slowly rising
An' I'm sinking to my knees
I'm dying just to close my eyes
I'm begging, darlin', please

I hear you calling
An' I'm crawling 'cross the floor
I give you everything I've got
An' still you ask for more

Anytime, anyplace
I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face
A slave to love an' keep you young
All it takes an' no mistakes
Is just a slip of the tongue

A slip of the tongue
Just a slip of the tongue
Slip of the tongue
Just a slip of the tongue
Slip of the tongue
A Slip of the tongue...

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
