Earthquake Driver Lyrics

I was born again a little north of Disney Land
Somewhere under Wonderland and Hollywood
But then I had to go skipping and diving and bouncing back to New York City
Straight through the heart of America where all the wild things grow

I want to be an Earthquake Driver
I want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home

I live alone but I am hungry for affection
I just struggle with connection til the water calls me home
Down into ocean among millions of other lonely people
Drowning among the only people we are ever going to know

I want to be an earthquake driver
I want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home

I want to be like the people I see
They run all over just like me
I was saved but what keeps me awake
Is I'm tied into the lightning line
And I wanna see where the sun is shining
All night just a waste of time I, I don't want to see people like me
Just sleeping in, waking in, hoping in, hating in

You look at me like I'm some kind of carnival attraction
You say love's this abstraction, just some ghost that you chase
Well, I am sorry friend, I am a blank space
But the words you remember from whenever you saw my face

I want to be an earthquake driver
I don't want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home

I want to be like the people I see
Hey man, they run all over just like me
I want to thank for what keeps me awake
This unplugged ears to the lightning lining
I want to see if the sun is shining
All night, chasing time I, I don't want to be with people like me
Just creeping in, waking in, hoping in, hating in

So what is the point of this famous self absorption?
We turn ourselves into orphans and then spend out nights alone
Living in fear of some kind of imaginary consequence
Terror incognito, ob-la-di ob-la-da

I want to be an earthquake driver
I don't want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home

Truth is I don't want to be no earthquake driver
And I don't want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home

Oh man, just don't want to go home
No, I do not want to go home

Earthquake Driver Song Chart

Counting Crows vocalist Adam Duritz wrote this track with guitarist David Immerglück. The song finds Duritz asking, "What is the price of this fame and self-absorption?" He told Teamrock.com a lot of the lyrics are him "making fun of things." Duritz explained: "Someone was bitching about the obviousness of it saying 'I live alone but I'm hungry for affection. I struggle with connections' – does he have to relate his travails? That's a joke, you idiot!"

"And we joke about people being self-absorbed, but of course we want them to be that way, because who the f--k else is going to write songs for us, paint paintings, and sacrifice the rest of their lives to examining their own navels, so that everybody else can be entertained,?" he added. "Movies about artists are always about that s--t, bland critiques of them not always being the best people. Who gives a f--k? Lots of people who are far less interesting than Mozart have bad home lives. But nobody ever explores, why would you paint a painting, or write a song?"

Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised
Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised

Heaven Song Chart

Along with "Neighbors," this was one of two songs on Tattoo You recorded specifically for the album. The other tracks started as outtakes for other albums.

Tattoo You was the last time The Rolling Stones scored a #1 on the US albums chart, after a full decade of albums that reached the summit.

Keith Richards doesn't play on this track; their bass player Bill Wyman played guitar and also synthesizer and bass. Mick Jagger also played guitar on the track, and the only other performer was Charlie Watts on drums.

The vocals here peg this song as one of the most psychedelic the Stones ever did. The group had been gradually edging from pure blues to hard rock to psychedelic styles throughout the previous decade. Mick Jagger got quite creative with overdubbing and mixing on parts of the Tattoo You album.

The very concept of Heaven, an afterlife for humans presumed virtuous and pleasurable, seems built into the human psyche. It is a component of just about every major religion ever to take root in human history. However, this song seems to be talking only about sexual ecstasy.

Nobody Wins Lyrics

(No, no, no, no, no, no)
Nobody Wins
(No, no, no, no, no, no) Bobby!
(No, no, no, no, no, no)

We don't see the same, and we don't speak the same
But if we don't get shit right this go ’round then we ain't gon' beat the game
You can see the pain, we entertain when disagreements turn into blame
The heated words turn into flames under your skin, it just aggravates
Every nerve you got, and every working vein
gotta take a cool breath and respirate
We gon' get it right, no matter how many steps it takes (one, two)
'Cause the devil gon' lie, and Heaven don't hesitate
And Lord knows we need Heaven, ’cause we're going through Hell each and every day
These emotions bottled up inside
are hot enough to fry thermometers and lighters on my mind
A lot of us will find the answers obvious, but probably all the time
You gotta know the signs and loosen up how tight you hold your pride
Put emotions to the side and get a grip before you lose your mind

Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (watch it!)

Stop throwing those pots and pans
(Nobody wins) Watch it!
We don't have to use our hands
(No we don't) Watch it!
Baby, can you understand?
(Baby, can you understand?) Watch it!
I'm just being a man

Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (Watch it!)

Gossipin', gossipin' and gossipin'
Everybody don't got your back, even if you got a lot of friends
Everybody sins, everybody sins if somebody loses, nobody wins
Sometimes you just need space, sometimes you need oxygen
Negative ain't so bad when it's negative space
If you do anything with nothing, then nothing can get in your way
I always remember when karma comes ’round, ’cause she got a similar face
You gotta know when to hold what you got and know when to give it away

Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (watch it!)

Let's talk about this
(Let's just talk about this) Watch it!
I'm glad that you missed
(Nobody wins) Watch it!
You almost tore up my face
(You almost tore up my face) Watch it!
We can't afford to buy another place

Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (watch it!)

Nobody wins (watch it!)
(I don't care what you do)
Nobody wins (watch it!)
Might as well stay home
Nobody wins (watch it!)
Stay home, stay home, yeah
Nobody wins (no, no)
Nobody wins (no, no)
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
Don't fool yourself (nobody wins)
Trying to fool somebody else
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)

Nobody Wins Song Chart

The first new music to be heard from Jodeci since their breakup in 1996 is a jam about domestic abuse. "We aren't immune to issues that are important in our community," said Jodeci's K-Ci . "Domestic violence has always been an issue in relationships, but lately it's been brought to the front of our community consciousness."

A snippet of the song was first heard on November 7, 2014, when Jodeci performed a medley of their tunes at the Soul Train Awards.

The song features guest vocals by B.o.B. "It is a really jammin' song," the rapper told Rap-Up.com . "It's a really refreshing sound. It kinda reminds me of like neo-soul meets Goodie Mob meets modern day music."

Released: 1995

Ironic Lyrics

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it Ironic, don't you think

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic,l don't you think

[Chorus]

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic, don't you think
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

[Chorus]

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out.

Ironic Song Chart

The events described in the song (rain on your wedding day, a traffic jam when you're already late, etc.), are not examples of irony. Irony is the use of words to convey the opposite of their literal meaning. The one actual, ironic statement in this song is, "As the plane crashed down he thought 'well, isn't this nice'..." Sarcasm is an example of irony, and this thought, clearly, was a sarcastic one. (thanks, Margaret - Buellton, CA [Margaret is an English teacher])

The London Times June 14, 2008 asked Morissette if she has worked out the meaning of irony yet. She replied: "Yes, I've now learnt the definition of irony - but the dictionary now says that it's a coincidence and bad luck, too - not that I don't deserve a little slap on the wrist for my malapropism. I always tell people that I'm the smartest stupid person you'll ever meet."

At the end of the song, Alanis says life has a funny funny way of helping us out - in spite of all of the bad stuff that we have to go through. The bad stuff helps us get to where we are going, and that is ironic. (thanks, Nicole - Houston, TX)

This was Morissette's third single and first Top-10 hit. Her first single, "You Oughta Know," is probably her best known, but no one had heard of her when it was released and it only hit US #13.

Glen Ballard produced this and wrote it with Alanis. He has also worked with Dave Matthews and has a history of radio-friendly production. Morissette moved from Canada to Los Angeles to write and record with him.

This is one of 5 hits on the album, which has sold over 16 million copies. The others are "You Oughta Know," "Hand In My Pocket," "Head Over Feet" and "You Learn."

This was nominated for Grammys in the categories Record of the Year and Best Short Form Music Video.

In 1996, this won MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video, Best Editing, and Best New Artist In A Video.

This was the first album Morissette released in America, but as a teenager, she released 2 dance albums in Canada. Her stage name at the time was simply "Alanis."

Pull Out the Pin Lyrics

Just as we hit the green,
I've never been so happy to be alive.
Only seven miles behind
You could smell the child,
The smell of the front line's survival.

With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet,
(I pull the pin.)

You learn to ride the Earth,
When you're living on your belly and the enemy are city-births.
Who need radar? We use scent.
They stink of the west, stink of sweat.
Stink of cologne and baccy, and all their Yankee hash.

With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet,
(I'm pulling on the pin,)
Ooh, I pull out, Pull Out the Pin.
(pulling on the pin, oh)

[Chorus]
Just one thing in it
Me or him.
Just one thing in it
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it
Me or him.
And I love life!
I love life!
I love life!

I've seen the coat for me.
I'll track him 'til he drops,
Then I'll pop him one he won't see.
He's big and pink, and not like me.
He sees no light.
He sees no reason for the fighting

With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet.
(I'm pulling on the pin,)
Ooh, I pull out, pull out the pin.
(pulling on the pin, oh)

I had not seen his face,
'til I'm only feet away
Unbeknown to my prey.
I look in American eyes.
I see little life,
See little wife.
He's striking violence up in me.

With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet.

[Chorus: x2]

Pull Out the Pin Song Chart

This track was inspired by a TV documentary Bush saw about the Vietnam war, which viewed the conflict from a Viet Cong perspective. She recalled to Keyboard (July 1985): "There was this fantastic TV documentary about a cameraman who was on the front lines. He was a brilliant cameraman and he was so well-trained a technician that he kept filming things no matter how he was feeling about it at the time. Some of the stuff he was shooting was really disturbing. Some of these Vietnamese guys would just come in and they were sort of dying in mid-air. And he'd just keep on filming."

Bush's viewing of the documentary stimulated an act of sonic visualization in the studio. "We sat in front of the speakers trying to focus on the picture - a green forest, humid and pulsating with life," she recalled. "We are looking at the Americans from the Vietnamese point of view and almost like a camera we start in wide shot."

"Right in the distance you can see the trees moving, smoke and sounds drifting our way,... sounds like a radio," Bush continued. "Closer in with the camera and you can catch glimpses of their pink skin. We can smell them for miles with their sickly cologne, American tobacco and their stale sweat."

The song features backing vocals from Bush's mentor, Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour.

Black Limousine Lyrics

We used to ride, baby
Ride around in limousines
We looked so fine, baby
You in white and me in green
Drinking and dancing
All inside and crazy dream
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

I get so scared
Just to see you on the street
They're living dead
Your all the same, you never speak
Your wrecked out now
Washed up high up on the beach
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

We used to shine, shine, shine, shine
Say what a pair, say what a team
We used to ride, ride, ride, ride
In a long Black Limousine
Those dreams are gone baby
Locked away and never seen
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

Black Limousine Song Chart

This is based on a song by Blues musician Jimmy Reed called "You Don't Have To Go." The song is about The Stones' rock and roll lifestyle of women, alcohol, and limousines.

This was first recorded at the Some Girls sessions in 1978.

Ron Wood got a writing credit for this. It is one of the few Stones originals not credited only to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

According to Wood, the guitar riff was influenced by a Texas slide Blues guitarist named Hop Wilson, who recorded in the '60s. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Calling all cars in here for the Prince of the South
Fuck that yabba-dabba-doo shit, bitch, I just got out
Still rapping, slapping kittens and grabbing my crotch
I'm the artist, the godfather
Still hard as a rock
You gon fuck around and make me knock your fruit juice loose
Banana, your watermelon and pomegranate too
Rhyming kung-fu that split bamboo
Crowd rockin', ain't no stopping that rapping ass fool
I been bad, bro, 'cha getting mad for?
I'm gon' have to fuck you up
I eat flames up
Shit fire out
Don't make me light my butt
Excuse me, who me?
I got a lot of groupies
Oughta have a fucking doghouse like Snoopy
Curtains go up

Tear the thing out the frame
With my band

Grabbing on my pants, she trying to pull it out my pocket
Don't yank on the motherfucker so hard, you're gonna pull it out the socket
It's exercise with thighs and hip muscles
Next exercise, we gon' burn some lip muscles
Let the music work your ear muscles
And if you're skinny then use your little muscles
Bag back or tea bag with these duffles
Pow pow get smash when we hustle
When the last time you have a knuckle sandwich, huh?
The last time a nigga had a foot so far up your ass you couldn't handle it?
You can't stand it
To make matters worse you gotta go to the studio with Bruno Mars on another planet
Don't get mad, I'm just saying
Don't believe it cause I'm saying it, bitch
Believe it cause I'm telling you
I'm doing the rapping and bussing

Take a second to wipe my sweat
Might be the only chance you get to catch your breath
Don't get too comfortable in here
Niggas know I'm bringing back the rumble in here
Just when you thought you could cool down and sip some of that water
Shit

Feel Right Song Chart

Mark Ronson recorded much of Uptown Special at Memphis' Royal Studios. Established in 1956, it is one of the oldest continuously operated music recording studios in the world. In its time, it has hosted such legendary acts as Chuck Berry, Ike & Tina Turner and Al Green. A chance encounter with Mystikal at the studio led to the New Orleans rapper throwing down some unhinged rhymes for this tune.

The song made its live debut when Mystikal performed the tune during the November 22, 2014 episode of Saturday Night Live. Mystikal was not the musical guest for that episode - Ronson and Bruno Mars were. Mars, however, was willing to join the backup crew and let the rapper take center stage for the performance while Ronson joined on guitar.

Among the instruments featured on Uptown Special is the drum kit used on Al Green's 1972 album Let's Stay Together.

Mark Ronson told the story of the song to The Guardian. "In 2012, Mystikal put out a song called 'Hit Me' that a lot of my DJ friends went crazy for," he said. "It kind of went under the radar but I loved it."

When Ronson was in New Orleans with co-producer Jeff Bhasker, the jazz musician Trombone Shorty told him he should look up Mystikal when he got to Baton Rouge. "We got there and kicked it with Mystikal and [legendary New Orleans rap producer] KLC for a bit," said Ronson. "When we got to Memphis a few weeks later, Mystikal came up and we cut this song. The backing track was something that me and the band had recorded on a whim a few weeks back but it worked out to be so well suited to his vocal style."

The song's music video was co-directed by Bruno Mars with Cameron Thomas Duddy, who has shot many of the Hawaiian-born singer's visuals. The clip shows a young boy entering the Sunnydale High talent competition, who is introduced to a bored audience by original Brady Bunch star Florence Henderson. The youngster's energetic rendition of this song earns him 10 points from the contest's judges, Bruno Mars, Mystikal and Mark Ronson.

Sunnydale High is the fictional high school portrayed in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Originally recorded at the Black And Blue sessions in 1974, this song went on for a while and was called "The Black And Blue Jam" before being reworked for Tattoo You.

Jazz great Sonny Rollins was brought in to play sax.

Pete Townshend from The Who sang backup. Some connections between Townshend and The Stones:

Townshend claims he stole his legendary windmill arm swing from Keith Richards.

The Who played at The Stones Rock And Roll Circus concert event in 1968. The film wasn't released until 1996.

In 1976, Townshend contributed to Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane's Mahoney's Last Stand project.

In 1982, following the end of the Stones' European tour, Mick Jagger accompanied The Who for parts of their farewell tour. The following year, on Mick's 40th birthday, Townshend wrote an unflattering letter in the London Times commenting on the significance of this event.

Townshend played on Mick Jaggers first solo album in 1984.

In February 1986, Townshend was one of those present when the Stones gave their London club performance in honor of Ian Stewart, joining the band onstage for some Blues numbers.

In January 1989, he inducted The Stones into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In 2001, he played on the songs "Gun" and "Joy" for Jagger's Goddess In The Doorway album. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The original version recorded in 1974 featured Billy Preston on organ, Jeff Beck on guitar, and Nicky Hopkins on piano. Their parts were erased when it was reworked.

The CD version of Tattoo You contains an extra 90 seconds.

Different Kind Of Christmas Song Chart

This Christmas single was inspired by the life and passing of Schultz's father-in-law. Said the singer-songwriter, "We tried to write the lyrics that would reflect the honesty of the emotions we were feeling - that Christmas was still hard, even though we have faith that Kate's dad is with Jesus."

"We had no idea how many lives this song would touch, but it only makes sense because there are very few people that haven't experienced a loss that makes life a lot different. There are few times in the year when that difference is felt more powerfully than around the holidays."

If you Start Me Up
If you start me up I'll never stop

You can start me up
You can start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me just about to blow my top
You can start me up, you can start me up,
I'll never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

You can start me up
Kick on the starter, give it all you've got
(You got, you got)
I can't compete
With the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up
Slide it up, slide it up
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy, she's a mean, mean machine
Start it up

Start me up
Ah, you've got to, you've got to
Never, never, never stop
Start it up
Ah, start it up, never, never, never
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind, at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen

You start it up
Love the day when we will never stop
Never stop, never, never, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop
You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man come,
You, you, you make a dead man come

The Stones first recorded this at the Some Girls sessions in 1977. After the first 2 takes, they recorded it with a Reggae beat a bunch of times, but didn't like the result. They put it away until 4 years later, when they needed a song for Tattoo You. They went back to the second take and reworked it for the album.

Keith Richards: "The story here is the miracle that we ever found that track. I was convinced - and I think Mick was - that it was definitely a Reggae song. And we did it in 38 takes - 'Start me up. Yeah, man, cool. You know, you know, Jah Rastafari.' And it didn't make it. And somewhere in the middle of a break, just to break the tension, Charlie and I hit the rock and roll version. And right after that we went straight back to Reggae. And we forgot totally about this one little burst in the middle, until about five years later when somebody sifted all the way through these Reggae takes. After doing about 70 takes of 'Start Me Up' he found that one in the middle. It was just buried in there. Suddenly I had it. Nobody remembered cutting it. But we leapt on it again. We did a few overdubs on it, and it was like a gift, you know? One of the great luxuries of The Stones is we have an enormous, great big can of stuff. I mean what anybody hears is just the tip of an iceberg, you know. And down there is vaults of stuff. But you have to have the patience and the time to actually sift through it." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Microsoft paid $10 million to use this for their Windows '95 advertising campaign. Although it became common practice in years to come, this was one of the first times a hit song was used in a major marketing campaign.

The Stones first recorded this in Paris the same day in 1977 that they recorded "Miss You."

As he did with "Honky Tonk Women" and some other Stones songs, Keith Richards played this in open G tuning. The guitar tablature contains notation for just the top 5 strings. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This became a staple at sporting events. It is usually played before some kind of action or the start of a game.

The Stones used this to open their 1989 Steel Wheels tour.

Ford used this in ads that started just after midnight on January 1, 2003. It was part of a campaign to reintroduce their cars to the American public, with commercials airing on sporting events as well as an episode of The Simpsons where Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were guest stars. This was the first time a Stones song was used in a car commercial.

The Stones played this at halftime of the 2006 Super Bowl in Detroit. Two years earlier, Janet Jackson had her famous "Wardrobe Malfunction" during her performance, so the NFL wasn't taking any chances - they cut the volume on the line "You make a dead man come."

Producer Chris Kimsey recalled in the book Classic Tracks: The Real Stories Behind 68 Seminal Recordings by Richard Buskin: "After they cut it, I said, 'That's bloody great! Come and listen'. However, when I played it back Keith said, 'Nah, it sounds like something I've heard on the radio. Wipe it.' Of course, I didn't, but he really did not like it and I'm not sure whether he likes it to this day. I don't think it's one of his favourite songs, although it's obviously everyone's favourite guitar riff; his guitar riff. Maybe because Keith loves reggae so much, he wanted it to be a reggae song, but that wasn't to be."

"Including run-throughs, 'Start Me Up' took about six hours to record," Kimsey added. "You see, if they all played the right chords at the right time, went to the chorus at the right time and got to the middle eight together, that was a master. It was like, 'Oh, wow!' Don't forget, they would never sit down and work out a song – they would jam it and the song would evolve out of that. That's their magic."

Win Again Lyrics

I came out looking to party, and now I'm owning that building
You bitches can't get my spot until I start raising some children
These bitches all in they feelings, can't fuck with Nicki they know it
They know that Nicki a poet, pop me a bottle of Moet
They said I couldn't, but I did it though
Tell 'em I got that hour glass figure though
Can't stop me, don't watch me, you better just watch your nigga ho
I'm in that big boy, I am in beast mode
Beast make that g code
Bitches ain't got drive, these bitches gone get repo'd
I am a monster, this is ambition
This the type of car that you keep a bad bitch in

Not that I don't got good vision, but I don't see competition
They want me to come and help them but I am not a magician
I'm on them fo-fours I'm tipping, you better move out my way
I am not here to play, pinkprint can't be delayed

'Cause I Win Again, 'cause I win again, and I win again, and I win again,
And I win again, and I win again, and I win again, yeah I win again
Can't tell me nothing about it, your opinion isn't doubted
Go against me, then you made a mistake

Yo, yo, cause I came out, '09 when promoters brought wayne out
Lewinsky, like I couldn't get the stain out
I been bad, like cutting school, and staying out
I been hotter then vacationing, and laying out
I sat back, and watched how it was playing out
They diss me, but running and took the same route
Uh, but no, they not nicki, wrist on ice and yes my wrist bricky
If I leave, the game will miss nicki, not a website booking, money, this says 50
Pop bottles with my bitches and get pissy
This shit ain't got no more integrity
Don't write they raps, and plus they flow shitty
Don't make me expose you bitch, I'm too busy
Hoped on the bridge-y, New York City
Nicki still the queen, niggas already
(Hoped on the bridge-y, new york city
Nicki still the queen, niggas already)

I came in I told them that I would become the greatest
Muhammad ali, these bitches, and that can't be debated
I never chicken'd, I skated, I know they mad that I made it
All this money I made, all my bitches is laced

'Cause I win again, 'cause I win again, and I win again, and I win again,
And I win again, and I win again, and I win again, yeah I win again
Can't tell me nothing about it, your opinion isn't doubted
Go against me, then you made a mistake

So good, so real, so good, yeah
I'm a win again, I'm a win again

I'm Meryl Streep to all these bitches, they can't do what I do
Sometimes I just look in the mirror and I be like, "why you?"
Yeah, I know that they mad, but I'm a shit on my critics some more

I am
I am
I am still gonna do, what he sent me to do
That's kill, kill, everything in, everything in my way,
That's kill, kill, everything in, everything in my way,
That's kill, kill, everything in, everything in my way

They know I am a champion, no, champions do, it's all champions do

Minaj hammers here the fact here that she's a winner in the rap game:

Cause I win again, cause I win again
And I win again, and I win again, and I win again
And I win again, and I win again, yeah, I win again
Can't tell me nothing about it, your opinion is invalid
Go against me, then you made a mistake

According to Minaj, she wrote the song by freestyling in the booth as she loved Sak Pase's beat so much. The rapper, "then went home and made adjustments," before returning to the studio and laying the track down.

Girls, Girls, Girls Lyrics

Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to get me tight are those

Girls, Girls, Girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls, girls, girls
Dancin' down on the Sunset Strip
Girls, girls, girls
Red lips, fingertips

Trick or treat, sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls you just can't be beat
But you're the best when you're off your feet

Girls, girls, girls
At the dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, Girls, Girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, girls, girls
Raising hell at the Seventh Veil

Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart

I'm such a good good boy
I just need a new toy
I tell ya what, girl
Dance for me, I'll keep you over-employed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean

Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forget the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a manage et trois
Musta broke those Frenchies laws with those

Girls, girls, girls
Body Shop and Marble Arch
Girls, girls, girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart

Girls, girls, girls
(Hey Tommy, check that out man)
(What, Vince, where?)
(Right there, man) (hey)
Hey baby, you wanna go somewhere? (girls, girls, girls)
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls

This song is a tribute to strip clubs, seven of which are mentioned by name in the song:

The Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Tattletails in Atlanta
The Seventh Veil in Los Angeles
Crazy Horse in Paris
The Body Shop in Los Angeles
The Marble Arch, Vancouver
The Tropicana, Los Angeles
The listening party for the album was held at a strip club in Hollywood.

The video was shot at The Seventh Veil, which is mentioned in the song. Directed by Wayne Isham, the clip was very racy for its time, featuring strippers in action. Predictably, it did very well on MTV.

Some of the girls that have been married and divorced by members of Mötley Crüe include Pamela Anderson, Elaine Irwin, Heather Locklear, Brandy Brandt, Heidi Mark and Donna D'Errico.

The first line of this song, "Friday night and I need a fight" is almost identical to the first line in Sweet's "Sweet F.A." Crue Bassist Nikki Sixx is a big fan of the Sweet and likely took inspiration from them in these lyrics. (thanks, Neil - Conroe, TX)

Lead singer Vince Neil has a tattoo that says "Girls, Girls, Girls." For a while, he owned a strip club in Japan that was also called "Girls, Girls, Girls."

The band was going to call the album "Entertainment Or Death." Their manager at the time, Doc Mcgee, had it tattooed to his arm, but a week later they changed the title to "Girls, Girls, Girls." (thanks, Søren - Horsens, Denmark)
