lyrics

Ike Turner

Intro Chorus 4
Verse 1 (2x)
I got you on your knees tonight
I got where the world feels just right
I got you waiting for another chance
you call it romance and we start to dance
are you ready for the latest ghost
I’m just the other devil take it slow

Pre-Chorus
I like my love to be true

Chorus
It’s a good life you know you just begin
you take it on you shoot it where it lives
you look good when the drugs kick in
(double time) and Memphis is a Mercedes Benz
Memphis is a Mercedes Benz

Verse 2 (1/2)
I got you hooked on the simple things
blood desire and adrenalin
I got you where’s the water’s going black
and just like Buckley no you can’t come back

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Bridge + Solo
I’m going do it again

Pre-Chorus 3x I like my love to be true
Chorus

Outro
Kiss me first you’re a sinner I’m a saint
kiss me first I’m the bad one no you ain’t
kiss me first I’m the depakote for the pain
kiss me first I’m the clinic you’re the sane
