LYRICS

hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove
oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting
hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
watch your honey drip, can't keep away

ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah
ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah

i gotta roll, can't stand still,
got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill,
eyes that shine burning red,
dreams of you all thru my head
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
tell me what you do me now
hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
tell me what you do me now
didn't take too long 'fore i found out
what people mean my down and out
spent my money, took my car,
started tellin' her friends she wants to be a star
i don't know but i been told
a big legged woman ain't got no soul

ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah
ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah

all i ask for when i pray,
steady rollin' woman gonna come my way
need a woman gonna hold my hand
and tell me no lies, make me a happy man

COMMENTS

Tori sang a line or two of this song during a story-introduction to Blood Roses during the Dew Drop Inn Tour in Providence, RI on August 24, 1996. Tori also sang part of the song acapella during the CMJ Music Marathon Interview Panel on November 1, 2002.

"I work most of the time with men, whether you like it or not: most of the big musicians are men. They love their instrument and always want to jam. Most women cant jam, they don't have something like: The hell with everything, everybody can drop dead for five minutes, were gonna play Black Dog. Anyway, I love to tour with men, but once in a while my nails appear of a sudden. I then become some sort of a women-beast that wants to protect her song-children. And then I get really from these guys with their comments as: Are you having your period or something? And then I reply: No, if there is any blood in the picture, its the blood that I scratch out of your throat. Because these songs are like living creatures for me."
-- Tori; Aloha Magazine, NOV 1999
