Lyrics:
[Intro]
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion (Emotion)

[Chorus]
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

[Verse 1]
Talk about things that nobody cares
Wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name, but I got to make clear
I can't say, baby, where I'll be in a year

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Some sweathog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well, I got good news, she's a real good liar
‘Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

[Chorus]
Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

[Verse 3]
I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things, but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me because the rabbit done died, yes, it did

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
You stand in the front just a-shaking your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I'll talk about something you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eating from your hand

[Instrumental Outro]
