Sweet and lovely, sweeter than the roses in May Sweet and lovely, heaven must have sent her my way Skies above me never were as blue as her eyes And she loves me, who would want a sweeter surprise?

You Shook Me All Night Long Composer(s): Brian Johnson; Angus Young; Malcolm Young Performer(s): AC/DC; and various other artists
She was a fast machine She kept her motor clean She was the best damn woman I had ever seen She had the sightless eyes Telling me no lies Knockin' me out with those American thighs Taking more than her share Had me fighting for air She told me to come but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking The earth was quaking My mind was aching And we were making it and you
Shook me all night long
Working double time On the seduction line She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine She wanted no applause Just another course Made a meal out of me and came back for more Had to cool me down To take another round Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
'Cause the walls were shaking The earth was quaking My mind was aching And we were making it and you

Hold me, hold me Don't ever let me go

When marimba rhythms start to play Dance with me, make me sway Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze Bend with me, sway with ease When we dance you have a way with me Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor Dear, but my eyes will see only you Only you have the magic technique When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins Long before it begins Make me thrill as only you know how Sway me smooth, sway me now
