Well, the first time that I saw you
I could not speak a word
My tongue was tied in giant knots
And I felt so disturbed
At the feeling rushing through me
The heat inside my veins
At the way my nerve ends tingle
Every time you call my name
I’ve got a lust ignited fever
And I can’t put out the flame
Next time that I saw you
I felt so at ease
You had a languid disposition
I had an willingness to please
And your candy apple red lips
Full of violets and sex
Had me harder than a coal train
Had my collar wringing wet
BurnBut I’m not finished yet
My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun
You’re a symphony of elegance
A masterpiece of grace
And animated work of art
Who’s acquired a taste
For the flesh of weaker lovers
Lie down on their backs
To be ridden at your leisure
And be taken off like hats
I’m not here for you to walk on
And I’m not your welcome mat
My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun
A machine gun, yeah
The first time that I saw you
I could not speak a word
My tongue was tied in giant knots
And I felt so disturbed
At the feeling rushing through me
The heat inside my veins
At the way my nerve ends tingle
Every time you call my name
I’ve got a lust ignited fever
And I can’t put out the flame
My heart is pounding like a big bass drum
Excited at the thought I might get me some
Lick it off my fingers
Taste it on my tongue
Love you little baby like a machine gun
Ma-ma-ma-machine gun
Machine
To pay my respects, I've been revisiting the old Warrant songs and listening to the ones I didn't know, and I´ve found at least 10 that deserved to be hits... Mr. Lane had real talent (multi-instrumentist and lyricist besides great singer)and charisma (check the live versions: makes you want to be there!). Please if you have time, look around: you'll find catchy tunes and well written lyrics!
I founx the cassette at the age of 9 at an abandoned house back in 1994...i heard it and loved it ...i just remembered and started googling dog eat dog....and found it! i am now 33...lol
by far the best warrant effort to date, that not enough people know exsist. thanks to kurt cobain and a generation of my life sucks and i hate the world philosophy. that is the true decline of the western civilization.
RIP Jani Lane, you were a musical genius and this song leads off one of the greatest most under rated albums of all time. You will be missed. You were a hero of mine. Thank you for the songs that shaped my life.
I honestly teared up when I heard about jani im a songwriter and he was my biggest influence dog eat dog so underrated I loved him as an influence and he will be greatly missed R.I.P Jani you will be missed rain maker
