Every Picture Tells A Story Lyrics - Every Picture Tells A Story - Rod Stewart

Spent some time feeling inferior 

Standing in front of my mirror 

Combed my hair in a thousand ways 

But I came out looking just the same 

Daddy said, son, you better see the world 

I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave 

But remember one thing, don't lose your head 

To a woman that'll spend your bread 

So I got out, whoo

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Paris was a place you could hide away 

If you felt you didn't fit in 

The French police wouldn't give me no peace 

They claimed I was a nasty person 

Down along the Left Bank, minding my own, whoo 

Was knocked down by a human stampede 

Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot 

When all I wanted was a cup of tea 

I was accused, whoo 

I moved on 

Down in Rome, I wasn't getting enough 

Of the things that keep a young man alive 

My body stunk, but I kept my funk, whoo 

At a time when I was right outta luck 

Getting desperate, indeed I was, yeah 

Looking like a tourist attraction 

Oh my dear, I better get out of here 

For the Vatican don't give no sanction 

I wasn't ready for that, no, no 

I moved right out east, yeah 

Listen, on the Peeking ferry, I was feelin merry 

Sailing on my way back here 

I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady 

By the light of an eastern moon 

Shanghai Lil never used the pill 

She claimed that it just ain't natural 

She took me up on deck and bit my neck 

Oh, people, I was glad I found her 

Oh, yes I was glad I found her, woo-hoo 

Wait a minute 

I firmly believed that I 

Didn't need anyone but me 

I sincerely thought I was so complete 

Look how wrong you can be 

The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe 

They wouldn't give you the time of day 

But the slit-eyed lady knocked me off my feet 

God, I was glad I found her 

And if they had the words I could tell to you 

To help you on the way down the road 

I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats 

'Cause it's all been said before 

Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it off, ha 

You didn't have to come here anyway 

So remember, every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo 

Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo 

Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo 

Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo 

Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it 

Every picture tells a story, don't it
