Dirty Love
- R. Johnson

You strut in
All strung out
You got style
Ain't no doubt
Original
Heart of stone
No steppping on this black widow

It's really not a hard decision
To give it all away
To give it all away
It's really not a hard decision
To give it all away
To give it all away

I've had enough of this dirty love
Of this dirty love
I've had enough of this dirty love

Broken in
Sunken eyes
Fallen for every line
Cut the edge
Another drink
Disposable in misery

It's really not a hard decision
To give it all away
To give it all away
It's really not a hard decision
To give it all away
To give it all away

I've had enough of this dirty love
Of this dirty love
I've had enough of this dirty love

So I wrote this song by accident... totally!! i was actually recording the tracks for "Hooked" and while testing the guitar tone I had this really thick distortion and played the opening riff of what became "Dirty Love"! I saved what I was doing and started this track... it started the weekend that spawned 4 tracks that all appear on "And Begin"!

At first I just wrote it to amuse myself as I am completely enamored with 80's rock music like Ratt, Warrant, Skid Row etc... and though elements have shown up in previous works, I've never done anything so blatantly nostalgic in my repertoire!

Then something weird happened... I really stated loving the tune!! Besides the 80's are cool again! So here it is!

Lyrically... Dating for the wrong reasons... Eventually, if there's no connection after the initial excitement wears off... then maybe it's time to move on!
