Love On The Rocks (Classic Diamonds) - Neil Diamond

We met on a rainy evening in the summertime Don't think I need to tell you more I needed a raise, I worked so hard for this love of mine Still, I got nothing to show for it Here's a simplification of everything we're going though You plus me is bad news You're a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too My friend said I look better without you Tongue-tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head Babe, baby believe me If I stay, it ain't gonna be easy Okay, we'll do it your way But this is the last time You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down Love on the rocks, yeah You love the chase but hate me for the run around And we both just tired of the whole thing And you tell me what you want you need you know you have to have And I just pretend I'm listening Too tired this time To deal with old suits, you wear with your ties that won't bind Babe, baby believe me If I stay, it ain't gonna be easy Okay, we'll do it your way But this is the last time You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down Hot as hell, cold as ice sip it slow 'cause it's so nice Dulls my senses, drives my pain, but I do it again Burns a bit to the touch, dangerous if it's too much If this bottle could talk Love on the rocks Babe, baby believe me If I stay, it ain't gonna be easy Okay, we'll do it your way You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down

This is our admission and our mission Is to bring down the walls It's our mission not fall to submission Life is an addiction with conviction You're a Hollywood star My addiction to feed my conviction Light up the fire I bring you back to life Taking us higher Like it's the fourth of July And that's right, come on We can make it hot hot Bring it on the rocks Round round down, right until you wanna drop Acting like a hotshot Drop it like it's hot So swing another round right, 'cause we will never stop Speeding up my future I'm unbound As I restring my guitar I've got no regrets Along the path To be a hollywood star A Hollywood's sunet I'm bound to the boulevard Trapped in a wire bringing me back to life Get ready to fight we ignite like the fourth of July That's right, come on We can make it hot hot Bring it on the rocks Round round down, right until you wanna drop Acting like a hotshot Drop it like it's hot So swing another round right, cause we will never stop A lonesome desire A freak on a ward I'm torn into pieces as I restring my guitar So is this my future My boulevard scars It got shattered into nothing A self-proclaimed superstar We can make it hot hot Bring it on the rocks Round round down, right until you wanna drop We can make it hot hot Bring it on the rocks Round round down, right until you wanna drop Acting like a hotshot Drop it like it's hot So swing another round right, cause we will never stop

Last call started drinkin' at midnight First off I'm not usually this guy I'm paying the price for the time we wasted You've got a pretty face but you're pretty basic It's gettin' kinda late and my brain is vacant I don't wanna fake it, nah Saw this going down better in my head I thought I'd come around, but I hate your friends I'll take the salt from my wounds, put it on the rim Here we go again, yeah, yeah Can I get a bartender? I'ma need a couple more shots I've been on a hard bender And there ain't a chance that I'll stop Yeah, I drew a line and baby, you crossed it Need something strong but a little less toxic So bartender Can I get a bleach- Can I get a bleach on the rocks? You say sorry and you want us to fix what's wrong But I think I'd rather dye all my insides blonde It don't mean a thing 'cause you know you're wasted You'll never come around unless you heard I made it And I know if I tried, I could get you naked But I don't wanna fake it Can I get a bartender? I'ma need a couple more shots I've been on a heart bender And there ain't a chance that I'll stop Yeah, I drew a line and baby, you crossed it Need something strong but a little less toxic So bartender Can I get a bleach- Can I get a bleach on the rocks? So chug, chug, chug 'Cause it's easier to swallow Than your love, love, love Throw it back like no tomorrow So chug, chug, chug 'Cause it's easier to swallow Than your bullshit love Throw it back like there is no tomorrow There probably won't be Bartender I'ma need a couple more shots I've been on a hard bender And there ain't a chance that I'll stop Yeah, I drew a line and baby, you crossed it Need something strong but a little less toxic So bartender Can I get a bleach- Can I get a bleach on the rocks?

Love on the rocks, ain't no surprise Just pour me a drink, and I'll tell you some lies Got nothing to lose, so you just sing the blues All the time Gave you my heart, gave you my soul You left me alone here with nothing to hold Yesterday's gone, now all I want is a smile At first they say they want you, hear how they really need you Suddenly you find you're out there walking in a storm And when they know they have you, then they really have you Nothing you can do or say, you've got to leave, just get away We all know the song You need what you need, you can say what you want Not much you can do when the feeling is gone Maybe blue skies above, but it's cool When your love's on the rocks At first they say they want you, hear how they really need you Suddenly you find you're out there walking in a storm And when they know they have you, then they really have you Nothing you can do or say, you've got to leave, just get away We all know the song Love on the rocks, ain't no big surprise Just pour me a drink, and I'll tell you more lies Yesterday's gone and now all I want is a smile
