Rod Stewart – The Balltrap Lyric

aus dem Album A Night On The Town

Well, my brother said he saw you in a downtown bar

With a price on your head an a black man on your arm.

Come on, sister, I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.

I’d rather see you dead with a rope around your neck

Or see you paralysed in both your thighs.

Come on, honey, you got me crawling down on my knees.

If you say "It’s all over", I’ll pack up and go…

But this time tomorrow you’ll be screaming on the phone "Come back, baby, and let’s get naked tonight".

Well, I Can’t say "Yes", and I can’t say "No"…

My heart comes to love you but my soul says "Go"…

Come on, sugar, why don't you let your man off the hook?

You got me in a balltrap, Lord, I'm eating down in your hands.

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on one-night stand.

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on the midnight tram.

Well, the first time I had you up on old Park Lane you didn't know my name even when I came!

As I recall you let me walk home in the rain.

You day I'm cute…

But tell the truth, it's my body you want with the red hot juice.

Come on, honey, let's call the whole thing off.

You got me in a balltrap, Lord, I'm eating down in your hands.

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on one-night stand, ooh.

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on the midnight tram, oh, yeah!

Ooh!

Ooh!

Alright!

Wait a minute, hey, my mama don't like you and I ain't surprises…

You got poison lips, you got amphetamine eyes.

She keeps on saying "Why don't you find a nice country gilrl"?

But, Ma, I ain't never been in love before, I can't sleep or eat all week…

But Friday night I'll be alright on the midnight trampoline, ooh!

You got me in a balltrap, Lord, I'm eating down in your hands.

You got me in a balltrap, hung up on one-night stand.

You got me in a balltrap, strung out on the midnight tram, oh, yeah!

Ooh!

Come on, sister!

Ah, yeah!

ooh!

Alright, you got me in a balltrap, hung up on the midnight tram.

Yeah, it's a balltrap, strung out on the midnight tram, yeah!

Let out, let out, let out, ooh!
