The 77s
Tattoo (Live at Cornerstone 2000)
[Spoken Intro: Unknown]
They may rock like hell, but they're the house band of heaven! Ladies and gentlemen, the 77s!
[Mike Roe]
That’s right.
[Verse 1]
You're the one with the perfect skin
Unscarred by any passion
I'm the man who’s wondering
If I'm just this year's fashion
If I say I'm written on your life
And your eyes are wide open
If you say I'm written on your soul
Then write me on your skin
[Chorus]
I said tattoo
Tattoo
Me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo
Me on you
[Verse 2]
Don't make me no promises
Don't wear a ring for me
'Cause you’ll take it off your finger
When you think no one can see
Yes, I care
If we are together in the end
But if you say I’m written on your life
Then write me on your skin
[Chorus]
I say tattoo
Tattoo
Me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo
Me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo
Me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo
Me on you
[Bridge]
It doesn't have to be my name
It doesn’t have to be my silhouette
You'll think of something
Use your own alphabet
People gonna ask questions
They gonna want a story
What are you gonna tell them?
Tell them about me
Tell them about me, me
[Verse 3]
I don't think that the perfect life
Is coming through without a scratch
If your inside is worth living
Then your outside reads like a map
This might hurt a little
New lives begin with a little pain
If you say I'm written on your life
Then write, write, write, write, write me on my skin
[Chorus]
Tattoo
Well, tattoo
Me on you
Tattoo
Tattoo
Me on you
Tattoo
Yeah, tattoo
Me on you
Tattoo me, baby
Yeah, you better tattoo me, honey
