Pink
LOUNGE - Aerosmith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pink, it's my new obsession, yeah
Pink, it's not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover (ooh)
'Cause pink is the love you discover

Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink, 'cause you are so very
Pink, it's the color of passion
'Cause today it just goes with the fashion

Pink, it was love at first sight
Yeah, pink, when I turn out the light
And pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be alright
No matter what we do tonight

You could be my flamingo
'Cause pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink, like a deco umbrella
It's kink, but you don't ever tell her

Pink, it was love at first sight
Yeah, and pink when I turn out the light
Yeah, pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be alright
No matter what we do tonight

Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah

I want to be your lover
I, I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
'Cause pink, it's my favorite crayon, yeah

Pink, it was love at first sight
Yeah, pink when I turn out the light
Yeah, pink, it's like red but not quite




And I think everything is going to be alright
No matter what we do tonight

I like how Steven looked pleasantly surprised by the beatboxer when he started.

@dBro4769

I was skeptical when the “drums” came, but that was really good. Steven friggin nailed that vocal.

@welhynole4082

Too much swishy watery mouth and breathing noises kinda ruined it for me. Fucking great vocals for a 50 something year old too
