Whitesnake

Whitesnake is a British rock band, founded in 1978 by David Coverdale after his departure from his previous band, Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to Deep Purple, but by the mid 1980s they had moved to a more commercial hard rock style. Four of the band's earliest albums reached the top 10 in the UK, with Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984). The band's 1987 self-titled album was their most commercially successful worldwide, and contained three of their most recognisable songs, "Here I Go Again", "Still of the Night" and "Is This Love".

Sometime after midnight 
The heat begins to rise, 
Girl, you'd shame the Devil 
With that look that's in your eyes. 

I know what's on your mind 
An' I can't run away, 
If I don't give you what you want 
There's going to be some hell to pay. 

Creeping up behind me 
Knocking at my door, 
I'll never be too blind to see 
Just what you're looking for. 

You roll me over, make me moan, 
Oh, such a velvet touch 
You'd melt a heart of stone. 
Anytime, anyplace, 

I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face. 
A slave to love an' keep you young 
All it takes an' no mistakes 
Is just a slip of the tongue. 

Just a slip of the tongue. 
An' if I want a little love 
I gotta take a lot of pain, 
Make me think a thousand times 

Before I kiss again. 
I'm waiting on you every day an' every night 
If I don't try to satisfy 
There's gonna be a fist fight. 

Anytime, anyplace, 
I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face. 
A slave to love an' keep you young 
All it takes an' no mistakes 

Is just a slip of the tongue. 
Just a slip of the tongue. 
 
The sun is slowly rising 
An' I'm sinking to my knees, 
I'm dying just to close my eyes 
I'm begging, darlin', please. 

I hear you calling 
An' I'm crawling 'cross the floor 
I give you everything I've got 
An' still you ask for more. 

Anytime, anyplace, 
I'm just the fool who puts a smile on your face. 
A slave to love an' keep you young 
All it takes an' no mistakes 

Is just a slip of the tongue. 
A slip of the tongue, 
Just a slip of the tongue, 
Slip of the tongue, 

Just a slip of the tongue, 
Slip of the tongue, 
A Slip of the tongue.
