The is how is goes on the Greatest Hits CD
(these words are what I think they are, if someone has the real lyrics,
please update them):
(Fig A 8 times)
"Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion"
(Fig B 8 times)
"Talk about things and nobody cares
wearin' out things that nobody wears
callin' my name but I gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year"
(Fig C - no vocals here)
(Fig B 8 times)
"Some (sweat hoggin')? mama with a face like a gent
said my get up and go must've got up and went
well I got good news she's a real good liar
'cause a backstage a boogie set ya pants on fire"
(Fig C - no vocals here)
(Fig A 8 times)
"Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion"
(Fig B 8 times)
"I pulled into town in a police car
your daddy said I took you just a little too far
you tell 'em them things but your girlfriend lied
you can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died (yes it did)"
(Fig C - no vocals here)
(Fig B 8 times)
"Stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I take you backstage you can drink from my glass
I talk about something you can sure understand
'cause a month down the road I'll be eatin' from your hand"
(Fig C - no vocals here)
(Fig A repeatedly 'til fade)
"Sweet Emotion"
