Whitesnake - Slide It In Album Lyrics

I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside

No fame or fortune,
No luck of the draw
When I dance with Queen of Hearts
A jack of all trades
But, a loser in love
It's tearing my soul apart

Still I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in

The jack of diamonds
An' the ace of spades
Try to use me, and to abuse me
It seems the dealer
Wont give me a chance
I'm victim of circumstance

So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in...

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow
Standing in the shadow of love

I've been living so long in the darkness
I know the cold embrace of the night,
When morning comes I close my eyes
'Cos I'm blinded with the light
Taking a chance of a feeling
Is like waiting for a flower to grow,
So I stand at the crossroad, baby,
Wondering which way to go

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love
Too many people
Are standing in the shadow.
Standing in the shadow of love

I'm running away from a feeling,
Hiding my face in the sand
I'm scared to love and lose again
I don't know if I can
I don't need the night to remind me
Where the lonely people go
I try running away from love
But, my heart keeps telling me no

Too many people
Standing in the shadow of love,
Too Many people
Are standing in the shadow,
Standing in the shadow of love...

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
To prove it to you...

So many feelings
I can't explain,
I never thought I'd ever cause you any pain
Now I'm alone here
An' I can't hide,
The sun don't shine for me
Without you by my side

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time
To prove it to you...

An' I'm gonna prove it...

I want you
Right by my side
'Cos you're the only one who keeps me satisfied
I need your loving,
I need your charms,
I can't stand the through of you
In someone else's arms

You are the reason
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you to give me a chance
If only you would
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time
To prove it to you...
An' I'm gonna prove it...

I looked around an' what did I see
Broken hearted people staring at me,
All searching 'cos they still believe,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no

Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
I know good loving an' I'm a friend of pain,
But, when I read between the lines it's all the same

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

So who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Lord, have mercy,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

Love ain't no stranger,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger...

I can't see you, baby,
I can't see you anymore, no more
You keep on loving me
Like I've never known before
I wanna superstitious woman
With a superstitious, a superstitious mind, an' I don't mind, baby

My heart is beating faster, babe,
It's beating like a big bass drum
You know you got me speeding, child,
Faster than a bullet from a gun
You're a superstitious woman
An' I got a superstitious mind, an' I don't care

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

I don't care about, oh,
I don't care about love, no more
The way you keep abusing me
Oh, I can't take no more
I wanna woman
She got a superstitious mind

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
Take me down slow an' easy,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

Take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone...

An' spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it

I can remember, I can recall
When I first set my eyes on you,
I'll never forget the thrill of it all
Dreaming of the things we could do
Baby, you must be crazy,
Fooling with a man like me,
'Cos I roll my dice with a heart of ice
An' make it clear to see

Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it

I never knew what a kiss could mean
'Til the first time I kissed you,
You took my love in the palm of your hand
An' showed me what a woman could do
Your sweet caress an' tenderness
Can take the pain away,
The things that you do make a queen out of you
An' make me a king for a day

If you don't like it, spit it out

Now I know what your love can do
I'll be hanging 'round your door,
An' I'm gonna love you baby,
I'll give you more than you bargained for

Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it
Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out
If you don't like it

Spit it out, if you don't like it...

All or nothing
That's what I want from you,
I'm gonna give you everything I got
Now what are you gonna do

Don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way
'Cos it's too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can't run anymore
Cos' it's too late for you now

My heart is burning
An' the fire is hot,
My temperature is rising, rising, rising
I'm ready to rock

All or nothing
I'm gonna make you see,
I've made up my mind, for sure, this time
You're gonna spend the night with me

So don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way
'Cos it's too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can't run anymore
'Cos it's too late for you now

So don't try running away,
You know you get nothing that way
'Cos it's too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can't run anymore
'Cos it's too late for you now

Too late,
I'm gonna prove it to you
Too late,
I'll do what you want me to do
Too late,
You can't run anymore
'Cos it's too late for you now...

I start to shiver, I start to shake,
Chills up an' down my spine,
I'm in the mood for action
In need of satisfaction,
Babe, I'm gonna make you mine

Now I believe in you,
An' everything that you do
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough

I've got the weakness of an ordinary man
I need the comfort of womanly mind,
But, I get nervous when I think about
So many women an' so little time

But, I believe in you,
An' everything you do
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough

I start to shiver, I start to shake,
Chills up an' down my spine,
I get so nervous when I think about
So many women an' not enough time

But, I believe in you,
An' everything that you do
'Cos I'm hungry for love,
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough
I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love, I'm hungry for love,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough,
I can't get enough, I can't get enough, I can't get enough

I'm hungry for love...

I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,

No doubt about it

I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree

I can never forget the times
When I took what you gave me for granted
So I stand accused
An' I plead guilty to the crime
You can lock me away if you want
Just as long as your arms are around me,
An' I won't mind
If you just throw away the key

I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it

Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree

Guilty of love...

I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it

Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty

Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree...
