If You Really, Really Love Me Lyrics

If you really really really really love me
Then you really really really gotta show me
Don't whine when I put it in your booty
Or if I'm up all night playing 'Call of Duty'
Never hassle me because I'm unemployed
If I sleep all day don't get annoyed
Then I'll know that you really really really really really really really love me
If you really really love me

If you really truly want to make me feel nice
Make it so I don't ever have to ask twice
Let me have the keys to your Mercedes
Don't get mad when I bring home some ladies
If I get fat and look like an egg
Lie to me, tell me I'm in great shape
Then I'll know that you really really really
Really really really love me

If you wonder what I did with the rent
Just consider it money well spent
I bought trunks and a new surfboard
So just go tell your dumb landlord
That you love me
You really really love me

If I have sex with your friend Melanie
Don't act like it's some kind of felony
It's not uncommon for this kind of infidelity
It happens to a lot of guys like Tiger Woods and me
Just be happy that I'm hung like a horse
And you get to ride the pony of course
'Cause I'm really really really really really really
Really really fond of you too

When you think it's really suckie girl
All your friends will say 'you lucky girl'
You got a man who's hot you say
All the girls wanna be with me
'Cause they love me
They really really love me
Yes they do

If you really really really really love me
You'd never make me hang out with your family
Your mum sucks and your dad really hates me
When I try to borrow money he berates me
So Molly thinks that I'm too old for you
'Cause you're nineteen and I'm fifty two
He can't see that you really really really really really really love me
You really really really really really really really really love me
If you really really love me

If You Really, Really Love Me Song Chart

Steel Panther is what you would get if Twisted Sister had a baby with Spinal Tap. Their songwriting, musicianship and production are top-tier, but their songs have titles like "Weenie Ride" and "The Burden of Being Wonderful."

On this track lead singer Michael Starr is asking his girl for liberties on account of his rock star status. Among them: having sex with her friend Melanie, and staying up all night playing Call of Duty.

This song began with a fragment Michael Starr came up with: "I really, really, really, really, really want to rock with you."

In our interview with Steel Panther guitarist Satchel , he explained: "I thought the 'really, really, really, really, really' was an awesome part of the song. So I just took that idea and I came up with the verses first. Because the verses to me were basically the main part of that song. It was easy to write after I wrote the first verse. It just all came out."

This runs a tidy 2:25, which is something Satchel loves about the song. He's a big fan of early Beatles songs and Ramones tracks that were often around this length.

Testify Lyrics

Testify Song Chart

To "Testify" is to speak in church about a religious experience. The practice is common in black churches and is a very powerful spiritual experience, as members of the congregation share their stories of how God has touched their lives.

This was the first single released on The Isley Brothers' own label, T-neck records.

Jimi Hendrix, known then as Jimmy Hendricks, is featured on guitar. The 21 year-old unknown was touring as a backup musician with The Isleys at the time.

Community Property Lyrics

I would give you the stars in the sky
But they're too far away
If you were a hooker, you'd know
I'd be happy to pay
If suddenly you were a guy
I'd be suddenly gay

[Chorus]
Cause my heart belongs to you
My love is pure and true
My heart belongs to you
But my cock is Community Property

You're the only girl that I like to screw
When I'm not on the road
When I come home, my dinner's made
And the front lawn is mowed
I'll kiss your mouth
Even after you swallow my load

[Chorus]

I wanna make it clear
So you retain it
My dick's a free spirit
And you can't restrain it
No, you just can't chain it down

I love you so much it hurts
From my head to my feet
I think of you and I can't
Help but fondle my meat
I see your face every time
That I go out and cheat

[Chorus]

Community Property Song Chart

In this song, Steel Panther lead singer Michael Starr has a message for his favorite girl: his heart belongs to her. It's a conditional sentiment, however, as he reminds her that his c--k is community property, since he is a rock star, after all.

Steel Panther, like Spinal Tap, are legitimate musicians who take on the personas of wildly overblown rock stars.

The first line in this song, "I would give you the stars in the sky," is the kind of thing you hear in many popular love songs (as a comedian we heard pointed out, "that stuff isn't yours to give").

In our interview with Steel Panther guitarist Satchel , he said that he got the idea for this song when he was working out at the gym, and they were playing a Top 40 radio station. A song came on with some exceptionally trite and sappy lyrics, and that got him thinking about using these same sentiments, but with a Steel Panther twist. That's when he came up with the kicker line: "My c--k is community property."

Said Satchel: "Nobody really believes it when you tell them that your heart belongs to them, but they totally believe you when you say you're going to cheat on them."

The video was directed by the brothers Brendan and Emmett Malloy, whose other work includes the White Stripes' "Icky Thump" and Jack Johnson's "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing."

The video uses the clean version of the song, with his "dong" being community property.

Shout Song Chart

The Isleys wrote this on the spur of the moment at a Washington, DC, concert in mid-1959. As they performed Jackie Wilson's "Lonely Teardrops," Ronald Isley ad-libbed, "WELLLLLLLLLLL... you know you make me want to SHOUT" and Rudy and O'Kelly joined in on the improvisation. The audience went wild and afterwards, RCA executive Howard Bloom suggested putting it out as their first RCA single. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)

This evolved out of the call-and-response style The Isleys grew up singing in church. The organist from their church, Professor Herman Stephens, played on the song.

The Isley Brothers did not consider this a song at first. It was just a "thing" they would do onstage and the crowd would go nuts. They knew they were onto something when Jackie Wilson, who they were opening for, started using the stop-and-go style in his show.

This song has its own dance. When The Isleys sing the "little bit softer now" part, you go a little lower, then gradually rise up for the "little bit louder now part." For the rest of the song, you just jump around and go crazy. It's an easy dance, which makes it popular at weddings, proms, and other events where many rhythmically-challenged people end up on the dance floor.

The 1978 movie Animal House featured this in a famous scene where the frat brothers danced to it. The movie starred John Belushi and became a classic, helping revive interest in the song as well as the dance associated with it. In 2003, the group MxPx recorded a new version for the 25th anniversary DVD release of the movie.

The version in Animal House was performed by a fictional band called Otis Day And The Knights. The movie became a huge hit, and many people thought Otis Day And The Knights were a real group, so they went on tour. They did very well, selling out many of the places they played, and released an album in 1989 called Shout. Otis Day's real name is DeWayne Jessie.

In the UK, this is the song that introduced the singing sensation Lulu. The Scottish singer came to London at age 15 and recorded a version of the song with her group Lulu & The Luvvers that made it to #7 on the UK charts. Early on, Lulu often performed in Blues clubs where the song was a great fit. She soon became a very successful actress as well, appearing in the film To Sir With Love and scoring a #1 US hit with the title track.

Lulu, just 13 at the time, was introduced to the song by the Scottish rocker Alex Harvey, who she saw perform it in a Glasgow club called The Scene. Lulu added it to her act with The Luvvers, and it became their first hit when Lulu sang it at an audition for Decca records. She had a terrible cold when she recorded it, which gave her a rougher sound that suited the song.

This was never a chart success, but it sold over a million copies and became a rock and R&B classic. The Brothers bought their mother a house in New Jersey with the proceeds from this. She was living in Cincinnati.

After this got some attention, RCA records signed the Isleys to a record deal despite concerns that people would not understand what they were singing.

According to The Isley Brothers: Summer Breeze Greatest Hits Live DVD, this song was recorded in its first take during the studio session. (thanks, Rudy - bako, CA)

The Isleys developed this on tours of black theaters in the late '50s. They were usually low on the bill with other R&B acts.

The B-side of the single was "Shout Part 2," an even wilder version.

The Isley Brothers next 4 singles tanked. They did not have another hit until "Twist And Shout" in 1962.

A cover version by Joey Dee And The Starlighters was a US Top 10 hit in 1962.

Rock And Roll All Nite Song Chart

Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Kiss wrote this track, which became their signature song and was usually played as the last song in their encores. Stanley told Bruce Pollock: "Originally Gene and I would tend to help each other fill in the gaps. 'Rock and Roll All Night' came about because we felt we needed an anthem, a song that could be the rallying cry for all of our fans. So I went back to the hotel and came up with the chorus and the melody. Then I went down to see Gene and he came up with the verses. We used to write a lot like that. As Gene and I became better writers we became either less willing to bend on our individual ideas, or it may have been that we both figured our songs would be stronger if developed by the person who wrote them." (Pollock is a contributing writer to Songfacts. Check out his column They're Playing My Song.)

Kiss performed this at the 1999 Super Bowl pre-game show with dancers dressed like the band.

This was featured in the movie Dazed And Confused.

Kiss performed this at the closing ceremonies of the 2002 winter Olympics from Salt Lake City, while Katarina Witt and Kristi Yamaguichi skated to it.

The chorus of this song is also heard at the beginning of the song "Detroit Rock City", from the Destroyer album, as part of the intro to the original version of "Detroit Rock City." (thanks, Jeff - Haltom City, TX)

Kiss produced a video for this where they performed the song along with the cast of That '70s Show. (thanks, Patrick - Conyers, GA)

On the Kiss Unplugged album, each of the original band members sang a line of this as they played it on Acoustic instruments. (thanks, Gary - Steeleville, IL)

The members of Kiss provided their voices for an episode of Family Guy where Peter and Lois are following a Kiss tour. As the band plays this song, they hold the microphone up to Lois in the crowd to sing along after the line, "I wanna rock and roll all nite and..." Even though most people (including non-Kiss fans) know the words, Lois doesn't know the words and says "have a wonderful time." This leads to her revelation that she just pretends to like Kiss for Peter's sake, which upsets him until they go to a restaurant and meet the band, who recognize Lois from when she was a groupie known as "Loose Lois." Peter is honored that his wife slept with Kiss. (thanks, Bert - Pueblo, NM)

The American rock band Poison recorded a cover of this song on the soundtrack of the 1987 film Less Than Zero. It later appears on their 2006 compilation The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock and again on their 2007 cover album Poison'd!. (thanks, Alec Thorp - Yorktown Heights, NY)

On May 1, 2009, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons' voices appeared on the television show The Fairly OddParents on the channel Nickelodeon. Kiss plays the role of the "Galactic Guardians of the White Wand." The song "Rock and Roll All Nite" is played at the beginning and end of their concert. (thanks, Zach - Pocahontas, AR)

Love is but a song to sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody Get Together
Try to love one another
Right now

Some may come and some may go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Get Together Song Chart

This was written in 1963 by Dino Valenti from Quicksilver Messenger Service. He signed away rights to it when he was imprisoned for marijuana possession. The Youngbloods recorded it and gave the composer credit to Chet Powers, Valenti's real name.

When this was released in 1967, it flopped. It became a hit in 1969 when The National Conference of Christians and Jews distributed it to radio and TV stations to support "Brotherhood Week."

The California group We Five recorded this in 1965. Their version went to US #31.

This song was the last of The Dave Clark Five 's eight Top Ten UK hits, reaching #8 when they recorded it as "Everybody Get Together" in 1970. The backing vocals on their version were done by the students of the Central London School of Speech and Drama. Included amongst the backing vocalists was one Peter Davison who went on to star in the BBC TV series All Creatures Great And Small, 1977-79, and as the fifth Dr. Who, 1982-84.

Sexual Hallucination Lyrics

Red lips, a sinister tongue
(I'll taste you until I can't)
Our trip has just begun
(I'll fly with you til the end)
Psychotic voice
(You are in my veins now)
And there's no denying
(There's no denying)
As we both burst into flames

(You'll come down)
There's no coming down
(Higher ground)
Floating over ground
(Out of body)
Out of body
Inner mind
(I'm your slave)
This is what I crave
I'm lost, I'm saved
It's my obsession, possession began
(Physical, psychical, illumination)
Intoxication, fascination
(Mystical, Sexual Hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)

You watch me come undone
(It makes me want you more)
I'm crawling into the unknown
(I'll follow you to the core)
I feel like I'm dying
(I'm right beside you)
You whisper, "we're flying"
(There's no denying)
We both converge as one

(Don't come down)
There's no coming down
(Higher ground)
We're floating over ground
(Out of body)
Out of body
Inner mind
(I'm your slave)
This is what I crave
I'm lost, I'm saved
It's my obsession, possession began
(Physical, psychical, illumination)
Intoxication, fascination

Sexual (hallucination)
Sexual (hallucination)

(I can barely breathe)
I can barely breathe
(I can barely move)
I can barely move
(I can barely) separate (me from) you
This is what I crave
To be your slave

Red lips, sinister tongue

It's my obsession, possession began
(Physical, psychical, illumination)
Intoxication, fascination

Sexual Hallucination Song Chart

At 6:18 minutes, this is the longest song In This Moment have recorded. Frontwoman Maria Brink told Rocksverige : "I like that the album's got different things. It's got the anger, the sarcasm, the real truth, the sexual stuff and this song to me, it hypnotizes you and it takes you away. We were afraid that Atlantic Records were gonna have a problem with some of our longer songs, because they're a major label, but they loved it and had no problems with it. They were really supportive and didn't compromise the art at all. We're pretty grateful."

The song features guest vocals from Shinedown's Brent Smith. Said Brink: "We've fallen in love with them (Shinedown). They're just such stand up people and so kind and so supportive of the band. We didn't think Brent would do the song, they were getting ready to do a new album and so on, but when I finally asked him, he didn't think about it twice. The cool part of him doing that song with us, is that no one's ever heard Brent like that with anyone else."

Wallflower Lyrics

Six by six, from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor you got damp in the bed
They're trying to get you crazy get you out of your head
They feed you scraps and they feed you lies
To lower your defenses, no compromise
There's nothing you can do, the day can be long
You mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong

Hold on, hold on, hold on,
Hold on, hold on, hold on

They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
You faced the night alone
While the builders of the cages
Sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see the road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone

They take you out the light burns your eyes
To the talking room it's not surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath
They tell you how to behave, behave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond
For all that they are doing there's no way to respond

Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
You face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
Sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see the road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone

Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say to you, I will do what I can do

You may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say you you, I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
I will do what I can do

A Tale of 2 Citiez Lyrics

Since a youngin' always dreamed of gettin' rich
Look at me my nigga
Fantasize about a white picket fence
With some trees my nigga
Used to want a pathfinder with some tints
Thats all I need my nigga
Throw some 20's on that bitch and get it wrenched
But now I see my nigga
That the worlds a lot bigger ever since
Picked up the paper and they say my nigga Eddie caught a body, I'm convinced
Anybody is a killer, all you gotta do is push 'em to the limps
Fuck being timid in the Civic
Politicin' with the pushers and the pimps
I'm tryna write a story, can I get a glimpse?
Yeah can I get a glimpse?

Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really such a bad thing?
They robbin' niggas on the daily
Keep on blamin' nigga that ain't never had things
Guess not, last night they pulled up on my nigga at the light like
Uh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it

Small town nigga Hollywood dreams
I know that everything that glitters ain't gold
I know the shits not always good as it seems
But tell me till you get it how could you know
How could you know? How could you know?
Listen up I'm about to go and get rich
Fuck with me my nigga
We gonna slug around the Ville and hit a lick
Cop some tree my nigga
And some powder, bag it up and make it flip
You gon' see my nigga
One day we gon' graduate and cop a brick
And that's the key my nigga
And listen up I'm bout to go and get rich
Stand back and watch if you want to nigga
Me I want my pockets fat about a bitch
Tired of seein' niggas flaunt, I wanna flaunt too nigga
Watch some rollers in the fuckin' Crown Vic
Tryna lock a nigga up, that's what they won't do nigga
Wanna know a funny thing about this shit?
Even if you let em' kill your dream it'll haunt you nigga

Last night I had a bad dream
That I was trapped in this city
Then I asked is that really such a bad thing?I
I look around like do you want to be another nigga
That ain't never had things
Guess not, last night we pulled up on my nigga at the light like
Uh, nice watch, run it
Hands in the air now, hands in the air, run it

Father forgive me for me, childish ways
I look outside and all the clouds are gray
I need your hands to take me, miles away
Your wish is my command, my command, my command, but
Before you go I've got to, want you now
Whatever goes up surely, must come down
And you get your piece but no peace, won't be found
So why just take me man, take me man, take me man
Your wish is my command, my command, my command

A Tale of 2 Citiez Song Chart

The beat for this track was supplied by New York native Vinylz, who also produced "Fire Squad" on Cole's Forest Hills Drive album, as well as Nicki Minaj's "All Things Go" from The Pinkprint. The song came together when Cole took a trip to the east coast. "He called and said, 'I really want you to sit with me and work on this album for the whole week – and he didn't really sit with many producers, it was just two or three," Vinylz recalled to MTV News. "So I played him a bunch of beats, he picked about 15 of them and that's the one that stuck out."
