King Of The Ladies Lyrics

Let me introduce you to my time machine
See my souped up bird spread her golden wings
Going back in black through my neighborhood
My main street middle class Hollywood
Jenny’s all jet-set 'Purple Rain' cassette
Looking like she was the queen of the 80’s
And if I knew back then what I know right now
Yeah, you know I'd be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
Yeah, if I knew back then what I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
Just an average Joe making minimum wage
Burger flipping on the beach instead of hitting the wave
While the girls walk by with their copper tone tan
Sucker punching the clocks, stop working for the man
Well, there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Oh Candy, oh would you save me?

If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
Yeah, if I knew back then what I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
Yeah, if I knew back then what I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
I walked into the dance in the High school gym
This girl with drop dead legs, I’m moving in
You know it must have been the DJ spinning 'Billy Jean'
I tapped Nikki on the shoulder told her dance with me
Was like that scene from 'Grease' the way we bumped to the beat
I had the girl give me the slip, she got away from me
'Cause if I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd have the pick of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
Yeah, if I knew back then what I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
Yeah, if I knew back then what I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
Yeah, if I knew back then what I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now
There’d be no ifs, and buts and no maybes

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Extreme

Extreme is a rock band consisting of singer/guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt, singer/lyricist Gary Cherone, bassist/singer Pat Badger and drummer Kevin Figueiredo. The band first formed in 1985 in Boston with then drummer Paul Geary (who later got replaced by drummer Mike Mangini) until the band decided to go on an indefinite hiatus that ended up lasting more than 10 years (1996 - 2006). The band's influences range from the progressive hard rock and elaborate multi-vocals parts of Queen, the energy of Aerosmith and Van Halen, as well as Beatlesque pop and a Led Zeppelin organic feeling. Consequently, Extreme's music is never easy to classify; it's not just heavy metal, hard rock, or pop —their albums cover all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and a social consciousness to match. Although a hard rock band, it was the Everly Brothers-style acoustic ballad, "More Than Words," that crossed them over into the mainstream — it hit number one and the follow-up single, the acoustic-based pop rocker "Hole Hearted," hit number four.

They released two albums in the hey day of glam metal but received diminished attention from the mainstream following the grunge explosion following the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind" in 1991. Despite this, they released two more albums before the hiatus. Vocalist Gary Cherone went on to join Van Halen in 1997, replacing Sammy Hagar, and the group released "Van Halen III." He left Van Halen soon after, in 1999 and formed Tribe of Judah, with fellow Extreme members Pat Badger and Mike Mangini.

The group reformed in 2004 for a short tour of Boston and Japan, as well as reforming in 2006 for a small US tour.

On november 26th 2007, it was announced that Extreme will come back in 2008 with a new album & tour.
