Bad Company (1974)[edit]
- Well, I take whatever I want,
And baby, I want you.
You give me something I need;
Now tell me I got something for you.Come on, come on, come on and do it.
Come on and-uh do what you do.
I can't get enough of your love.
I can't get enough of your love.- Can't Get Enough, written by Mick Ralphs
- Company, always on the run.
Destiny, mmm, is a rising sun.
Oh, I was born six-gun in my hand.
Behind a gun, I make my final stand, hey.
It's why they call meBad company and I can't deny.
Bad company 'til the day I die.
Oh, 'til the day I die.
'Til the day I die.- Bad Company, written by Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke
- I get up in the morning and it's just another day.
Pack up my belongings, I've got to get away.
Jump into a taxi and the time is gettin' tight.
I got to keep on movin' I got a show tonight.And I'm movin' on, movin' on from town to town.
Movin' on, baby, yeah I'm never touchin' the ground.- Movin' On, written by Mick Ralphs
Straight Shooter (1975)[edit]
- If I hear you knocking hard up on my door,
Ain't no way that I'm gonna answer it.
'Cos cheating is one thing and lying is another,
And when I say it's over that's it I'm gonna quit, yeah.Now I ain't complaining, just tryin' to understand.
What makes a woman do the things she does?
One day she'll love you the next day she'll leave you.
Why can't we have it just the way it used to be?- Good Lovin' Gone Bad, written by Mick Ralphs
- Baby, when I think about you,
I think about love.
Darlin', don't wanna live without you
And your love.
If I had, those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you, in the heaven
'Til I'm dyin' (dyin', dyin',)
On the way.Feel like makin',
Feel like makin' love.- Feel Like Makin' Love, written by Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs
- Johnny told his mama, "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away.
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday."
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama," smiled and waved good-bye.Don't you know, yeah yeah. Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know, don't you know.
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are.- Shooting Star
Run with the Pack (1976)[edit]
- Well, the first time that I met you, you were only seventeen.
But I had to put you down, 'Cause I didn't know where you'd been.
You had a long black dress, your hair in a mess.
You didn't seem to have no class, but the look on
Your face was no disgrace, I knew I had to move real fast.Honey Child, don't you know you drive me wild! Oh, Honey Child.
Don't you know you drive me wild! Just about to lose my mind.- Honey Child, written by Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, Boz Burrell, and Simon Kirke
- You never give me my money,
You only give me your sympathy.
'Cause I keep on running,
There's no way to catch up with me.
I'm leaving you, don't make no fuss;
You won't even see me, oh no, for dust.I'm running with the pack,
Running with the pack.
I'm running with the pack;
Never looking back.- Run With the Pack
Burnin' Sky (1977)[edit]
- The sky is burnin'.
I believe my soul's on fire.
You are, I'm learnin', the key to my desire.
Desolation Angels (1979)[edit]
- Here come the dancers, one by one;
Your momma's callin' but you're having fun.
You find your dancin' on the number 9 cloud;
Put your hands together now, and sing it out loud.It's all part of my rock and roll fantasy.
It's all part of my rock and roll dream.
Rough Diamonds (1982)[edit]
- The neon lights go flashing by,
Electricland is in my eyes.
The underworld is on the move
And everybody's got something to prove.
