Rocket Queen (1986 Sound City Session) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I can say I don’t need anyone
I can say these things to you, ’cause
I can turn on anyone
Just like I turned on you
I’ve got a tongue like a razor
A sweet switchblade knife
An’ I can do you favors
But then you’ll do whatever I like
[Chorus]
‘Cause here I am
And you’re a rocket queen, oh yeah
I might be a little young but, baby, I ain’t naive
Here I am and you’re a rocket queen, uh-huh
I might be too much
But, honey, you’re a bit obscene, oh
Ow!
[Verse 2]
I’ve had everything imaginable
Pass before these eyes
I’ve had everything that’s tangible
Honey, you’d be surprised
I’m a sexual innuendo
In this burned-out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonight
[Chorus]
Because here I am
And you’re a rocket queen
I might be a little young but, baby, I ain’t naive
Here I am, you’re a rocket queen, uh-huh
I might be too much
But, honey, you’re a bit obscene
Ow
Ow, sha
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Here I am
And you’re a rocket queen, uh-huh
I might be a little young but, honey, I ain’t naive
Here I am, you’re a rocket queen, oh no
I might be too much
But, baby, you’re a bit obscene
Ow, sha
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I see you standin’
Standin’ on your own
It’s such a lonely place for you
For you ta be
So if you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I’ll be here standin’
Until the bitter end
No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walkin’ out there
In the rain
So, don’t chastise me
Or think I mean you harm
Or those that take you, leave you strung out
Much too far, baby, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, no no no no
Oh yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Don’t leave me
And say you’ll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care
