Pink, it's my new obsession, yeah 
Pink, it's not even a question 
Pink, on the lips of your lover 
'Cause pink is the love you discover 
Pink, as the bing on your cherry 
Pink, 'cause you are so very 
Pink, it's the color of passion 

'Cause today it just goes with the fashion 
Pink, it was love at first sight 
Yeah pink, when I turn out the light 
And pink gets me high as a kite 
And I think everything is going to be alright 
No matter what we do tonight 

You could be my flamingo 
'Cause pink, it's a new kinda lingo 
Pink, like a deco umbrella 
Ffff, it's kink that you don't ever tell her 
Yeah, pink, it was love at first sight 
Then pink when I turn out the light 
Yeah, pink gets me high as a kite 
And I think everything is going to be alright 
No matter what we do tonight 

Yeah, 
I, want to be your lover 
Ffff, I I wanna wrap you in rubber 
And it's pink as the sheets that we lay on 
'Cause pink, It's my favorite crayon 

Yeah 
Pink, it was love at first sight, yeah 
Pink, when I turn out the light 
Yeah pink, it's like red but not quite 
And I think everything is going to be alright 
No matter what we do tonight

Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has come to also incorporate elements of pop,heavy metal, and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists. The band was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970. Guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with singer Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, and the band began developing a following in Boston. more »
