Judas Priestly

Rock bands play hard from 9 to 5
But they've still got a sensitive side
When they want our sympathy
They put down their flying V's
Ballads show how much they care
Even Rob Halford's just a big teddy bear
These songs all go by different names but their point's the same

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every dog has its bone
And every rock band sings a sad sad song

The ballad worked great for Skid Row
It made Nelson jukebox heroes
With songs like Sister Christian
Rock frontmen improved their sweethearts within
Joe Elliott's eyes get watery
While his band pours sugar on you and me
Even Ozzy needs a hug and a little TLC

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every dog has its bone
And every rock band sings a sad sad song

Once bitten twice shy
Metal health will drive you wild
Once bitten twice shy
Metal health will drive you wild

But what can I do?
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, for a girl like you

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every dog has its bone
And every rock band sings a sad sad song, oh yeah
And every rock band sings a sad sad song
