ANY WAY YOU SLICE IT
Gene Simmons, Howard Rice
(Intro: Rhy. Fig 1) (6x)
(Riff 1)
(Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2 and Riff 2)
(Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1 and Riff 2)
I caught the tail of a hurricane and I've never ever been the same
I went out on a limb, gotcha under my skin, well alright
(Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 2 and Riff 2)
You got dirt under your fingernails
What I'm thinkin' can land me in jail
Well, you're caught in this trap and you can never go back
Well, oh no no
Rhy. Fig 5 and Rhy. Fig 6)
I know you wanna cross the border and you know the doctor's orders
Well it's better late than never, can't stay innocent forever
It's alright, it's alright, yeah
(Riff 1)
(Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2)
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
You know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
You're hot under the collar
Ain't your mother's little daughter anymore
(Riff 3 and Riff 5)
(Rhy. Fig 4 and Riff 2)
Ooh, ain't no wolf on the corner, can't keep it in any longer
Well if you're lookin' for bliss
What I got you can't miss, well alright
(Rhy. Fig 5 and Rhy. Fig 6)
When it works like a charm it'll do you no harm
You'll be in heaven tonight
I know you'll feel alright
(Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2)
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
You know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
I know what's in your heart, I know what's in your mind
(Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1)
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
You know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
You're hot under the collar
Ain't your mother's little daughter anymore
(Solo)
(Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2)
(Rhy. Fig 5 and Rhy. Fig 6)
I know you wanna cross the border and you know the doctor's orders
Well it's better late than never, can't stay innocent forever
No, no, no, no
(Riff 4)
(Drums only)
Yeah, alright
Well, if I told you once, I told you twice
Just listen, babe, and take my advice
Why settle for seconds when you can have the best
So let me be your king bee, I want your hornets nest
(Riff 1)
(Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2)
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
You know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
I know what's in your heart, I know what's in your mind, yeah
(Rhy. Fig 2 w / End 1)
Any way you slice it, any way you slice it
I know you can't deny it, any way you slice it
You're hot under the collar
Ain't your mother's little daughter anymore
(Riff 5)
You know you ain't your mother's little daughter
(Outro solo over Rhy. Fig 7)
