Warrant
A little something about Warrant
Hits like "Heaven," "Cherry Pie" and "I Saw Red" made them favorites with the MTV crowd. Their hit "Cherry Pie" is described by VH1 as being as "brilliant as sleaze ever was".
After years as L.A.'s best-kept secret, the band signed with Columbia Records in the late 80s and debuted in 1989 with Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. Although the album was a success, initially reaching No. 27 on the U.S. charts, it wasn't until the release of its second single, a ballad called "Heaven," that sales went into overdrive. But that's when things started to fray. "Heaven" was followed by another ballad, "Sometimes She Cries," which, coupled with the band's ratted hair and glam costumes, caused some members of the press to doubt their credibility.
Lyrics below : "Heaven", "Cherry Pie"
HeavenGot a picture of your houseAnd you're standing by the doorIt's black and white and fadedAnd it's looking pretty wornSee the factory that I workedSilhouetted in the backThe memories are gray,But man they're really coming backI don't need to be the king of the worldAs long as I'm the hero of this little girlCHORUS:Heaven isn't too far away,Closer to it every day.No matter what your friends might say...How I love the way you moveAnd the sparkle in your eyesThere's a color deep inside themLike a blue suburban skyWhen I come home late at nightAnd you're in bed asleepI wrap my arms around youSo I can feel you breatheI don't need to be a supermanAs long as you will always be my biggest fanHeaven isn't too far away,Closer to it every day. (oh-oh)No matter what your friends might say...We'll find a way(Whoa, yeah, babe)Now the lights are going outAlong the boulevardThe memories come rushing backAnd it makes it pretty hardI've got nowhere left to goAnd no one really caresI don't know what to doBut I'm never giving up on youHeaven isn't too far awayCloser to it every day. (oh-oh)No matter what your friends sayI know we're gonna find a wayHeavenWhoa-oh-oh-oh-ohHeavenWhoa-oh-oh-oh-oh OhHeavenIt's not too far awayOh-ohWhoa-oh-oh-oh-ohYeah
Cherry Pie
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie
Yeah
Wow
Heh Heh
Well swinging on the front porch
Swinging on the lawn
Swinging where we want
Cause there ain't nobody home
Swingin' to the left and
Swingin' to the right
I think about baseball
I'll swing all night, yeah
Yeah, yeah - huh!
Swingin in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't
Cause they're too busy bitchin'
Swingin' in there
Cause she wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater
I scream, you scream,
We all scream for her
Don't even try
Cause you can't ignore her
CHORUS
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Oh yeah
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie
Yeah sweet cherry pie
Yeah
Swing it
All night long
Swing it
Hey, hey, Ow!
I'm a trained professional
Swingin' in the bathroom
Swingin' on the floor
Swingin' so hard
Forgot to lock the door
In walks her daddy
Standin' six foot four
Said, "You ain't gonna swing
with my daughter no more."
CHORUS
Sweet Cherry Pie
Yeah! Huh!
Swing it!
