Mean Business Lyrics
Whitesnake
(coverdale/moody/marsden/murray/dowle)
Youre taking a walk on the wild side
If youre gonna take a chance with me,
Im gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So dont you knock on my door
If you dont want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you dont want a dancer
Ive got my love gun loaded,
Ive got you in my sight,
I never take no for an answer,
So youd better say yes tonight
I told you the score
Right from the start,
Youll never get to heaven
If you break my heart
So if you dont mean business
Knock on someone elses door,
cos its a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me
You say you want my money,
I say youve got no sense,
If you just want to bleed me dry
Stay on your side of the fence
No mercy you can see
cos seven to eleven made a fool out of me
So if you dont mean business
Knock on someone elses door,
cos its a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me
Youre taking a walk on the wild side
If youre gonna take a chance with me,
Im gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So dont you knock on my door
If you dont want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you dont want a dancer
So if you dont mean business
Knock on someone elses door,
cos its a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me...
