Lyrics: Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be by AC/DC
Hey, you! Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes, not Puts me down, fool me around Why she do it to me? Out for satisfaction, any piece of action That ain't the way it should be She needs lovin' Knows I'm the man She's gotta see Pours my beer Licks my ear Brings out the devil in me Hell ain't a bad place to be Spends my money, drinks my booze Stays out every night But I got to thinking, "Hey, just a minute Something ain't right" Disillusions and confusion Make me wanna cry All the same, you playin' your games Tellin' me those lies Don't mind her playing demon As long as it's with me If this is hell, then let me say It's heavenly Hell ain't a bad place to be End of the night Turns down the light Closes up on me Opens my heart Tears it apart Brings out the devil in me Hell ain't a bad place to be I said, hell ain't a bad place to be Hell ain't a bad place to be You know, that hell ain't a bad place to be
