I got more than I asked for
There ain't nothin' I need
I took all till I had more
I'm always takin' the lead
Old man shakin' dice down on the street
Try'n to make a livin' somehow
But I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
And I'm gettin' ready right now
You can't hold me, I have told you
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
I've been called by many names
And all of them are bad
I can take it all the same
It's all I've ever had
I've got somethin' that you can't get
But one thing you can see
Gettin' there ain't easy
But it sure was hard for me
You can't hold me, I have told you
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
Every time I take a look
There's someone close behind
They never used to make a pass
The things that crossed their minds
Now they tell me that it's all right
And they want to be my friend
They're ridin' on my back
When is it goin' to end?
You can't hold me, I have told you
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need

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.
