[Verse 1]
This girl that I knew
She loved me and blew me away
We made love, no doubt
But she never went out of her way
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why
Do the wings of your butterfly
Lightnin' thunder
I keep wondering why

[Chorus]
Hey, I think you need an attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
I got to make myself a latitude adjustment
With or without

[Verse 2]
I was rather naive
So I didn't believe when you said
"Our love is in jail"
Honey, you hit the nail on the head

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why
Do the wings of your butterfly
Lightnin', thunder
It ain't no wonder why

[Chorus]
Hey, I think you need an attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
Don't you ever, baby, wonder where the lust went
With or without

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Now I know what it is
A-cause I know what you are
No more cryin' eyes, my friend
Excuse fuckin' moi
No more wonderin'
I got news for you

[Chorus]
Hey, I think you need an attitude adjustment
Knock-down drag out
I gotta make myself a latitude adjustment
I'm headin' south

[Outro]
Yeah, I think you need an attitude adjustment
From inside out

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
