Cheap Trick - The Riff That Won't Quit Lyrics

Cheap Trick Lyrics

"The Riff That Won't Quit"

Got a riff that won't quit
And I've got an axe to grind
Got a riff that won't die
Leave those chords behind

I got a riff that won't quit
Let it show the way
Just need a groove to make it move
And turn it up all the way

Gotta reach down inside your heart
If you wanna play the blues

Find a riff on the neck
It's not that bad, so don't you fret
It's a riff that won't die
It makes me wanna cry
Hear a riff that won't quit
And I can't stop playing, so here I sit
Pick and chose and make the move
And hear what I'm gonna play
Hey!

Gotta reach down inside your heart
If you wanna play the blues, woo

Got a riff that won't quit
Yeah, I've got an axe to grind
Got a riff that won't die
Leave those chords behind
Got a riff that won't quit
Let it show the way
Just need a groove to make it move
And turn it up all the way, yeah

You gotta reach down inside your heart
If you wanna play the blues

Got a riff that won't quit
I got a riff that won't quit
Got a riff that won't quit
Amp it up until it screams
Oh yeah
