Whitesnake - Mean Business Lyrics






You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancer

I've got my love gun loaded,
I've got you in my sight,
I never take no for an answer,
So you'd better say yes tonight
I told you the score
Right from the start,
You'll never get to heaven
If you break my heart

So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cos it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me

You say you want my money,
I say you've 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 don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cos it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me

You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancer

So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cos it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me...

  1. S.... T....

    El mejor tema del álbum.

  2. W.... F....

    Menphise

  3. M.... B....

    Excellent keyboard solo by Jon and magnificent, pumping bass work from Neil.

    M.... B....

    Well said! Jon Lord is always unmistakeable.

  4. �.... �....

    This song would fit well on Burn or Stormbringer, it sounds a lot like Deep Purple and it's no surprise because Jon Lord worked with David Coverdale on this album.

    �.... �....

    I appreciate the info.

    �.... �....

    Lord was on trouble too

  5. P.... ....

    Kind of reminds me of Razamanaz by Nazareth. Just like Ready an' Willing reminds me of Nazareth's first album cover.

    P.... ....

    Yeah , a bit of the progression of speed king and flight of the rat covered by a million bands .
    Among them in link on this track , Triumph rock n roll machine , also in the main riff , and the Sweet. SWEET .Fa in the begining .

    One of the only two tattoos I ever wanted. Never got it done, as an east coast/Med sailor, I never found a worthy tattoo artist to do it justice. So this cover art and Thin Lizzy's Black Rose never happened. How many 6 yr sailors came home with zero tats? Not many in my day. Now lots of good folks around my side of S. Carolina, but I'm kinda glad I don't have a naked chick straddling a snake on my right shoulder.

  10. M.... J....

    I remember seeing this album at K-Mart as a Kid.  There was a huge price tag covering the Woman's ass.

  11. A.... K....

    One of my favorite songs! Excellent))
    P.S. Like listening to this in the night while sleeping (also Outlaw))))

  12. M.... G....

    perfect
