Walk This Way

Aerosmith Rock English

Vocabulary from Aerosmith: 'Walk This Way'.

Backstrokin' lover, always hidin' 'neath the covers

'Til I talked to my daddy, he said

He said: You ain't seen nothing 'til you're down on a muffin

Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder

All the times I could reminisce

'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin

Only started with a little kiss like this

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school

With your feet flyin' up in the air

Singin': Hey, diddle-diddle with your kitty in the middle

Of the swing like I didn't care

So I took a big chance at the high school dance

With a missy who was ready to play

Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'

And I knew love was here to stay when she told me to

Walk this way, talk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, talk this way

Ah, just give me a kiss

Like this

Schoolgirl sweetie with the classy kinda sassy

Little skirt's climbin' way up her knee

There was three young ladies in the school gym locker

When I noticed they was looking at me

I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady

'Til the boys told me somethin' I missed

Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor

So I gave her just a little kiss like this

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school

With your feet flyin' up in the air

Singin': Hey, diddle-diddle with your kitty in the middle

Of the swing like I didn't care

So I took a big chance at the high school dance

With a missy who was ready to play

Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'

When she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

Walk this way, talk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, talk this way

Just give me a kiss
