[Intro: Bobby Gillespie] La-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la, la-la-la-la-la [Verse 1: Bobby Gillespie] Saw you walking down the street Holding hands with some other guy Wearin' a sharkskin suit, black patent leather boots Big brown flyin' saucer eyes I didn't talk to you then, you was kissing your friend Besides, it was the wrong time and place I went home, took a shower Read "Our Lady of the Flowers" by Jean Genet I knew we'd meet again [Pre-Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] Don't want your diamonds, don't want your gold I want your love, I want your soul Oh, come on, babe, let's have a good time [Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Sweet rock and roll [Verse 2: Bobby Gillespie] I searched all over town, queers and dudes hangin' around No one had ever seen a chick like you before I hit strip joints and museums, bars and clubs and Jesus I even prayed in a cathedral for your soul Then one rainy winter Tuesday, I saw you on the subway You were heading for the tunnel near the door I pressed my face against the glass, you sped by me in a flash Like a motorcycle crash, you smoked my skull [Pre-Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] Don't want your diamonds, don't want your gold I want your love, I want your soul Oh, come on, babe, let's have a good time [Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Let's have a good time, woo (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Sweet rock and roll [Interlude: Bobby Gillespie] Here she comes now, alright Woo, woo, woo [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Alison Mosshart] So there I was again, walking in the pouring rain Wondering who and why and where and what you were I had hallucinatory dreams, shivers, sweats and screams Like an opium withdrawal, only worse Then on one hot summer night, I took a motorcycle ride Saw you looking mean and evil, spitting fire from your eyes Like a rockabilly queen 'bout to kick start your machine Like a fighter pilot flying off to war You had a tight black leather jacket, skull and crossbones on the back God bless the soul of sweet Gene Vincent, there you were [Pre-Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] I said Don't want your diamonds, don't want your gold I want your love, I want your soul Come on, babe, let's have a good time [Chorus: Bobby Gillespie] (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Woo-woo-woo Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Woo-woo-woo Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Sweet, sweet rock and roll (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Let's have a good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Good time, good time, good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Good time, good time, good time (La-la, la-la-la-la-la) Woo, woo Sweet, sweet, sweet rock and roll
