  • I'm sorry to have taken so long
    It must have been a bitch while I was gone
    You mind if I sit down for a while
    You'll reacquaint yourself with my style

    Well, how could you have waited so long
    It must have been a bitch while I was gone
    All this time you put up a fear
    For a hundred thousand years

    I'm sorry to have taken so long
    It must have been a bitch while I was gone
    All this time you put up a fear
    For a hundred thousand years

    And baby won't you let me
    I think I'm goin' out of my head
    I'm just about to, ooh yeah, ha

    I'm sorry to have taken so long
    It must have been a bitch while I was gone
    You mind if I sit down for a while, would you babe
    You'll reacquaint yourself with my style Writer/s: Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganIf you listen closely to the version on Alive, after the song ends and Paul yells, "Rock N' Roll!" if you listen real closely you can hear someone in the audience yell, "Bulls--t!" I thought it was funny that no one, even those that were editing the album, noticed it. What I can't understand, though, is why would someone pay to see a band, just to heckle them? Awesome song anyway, especially the Alive! version.
  • AnonymousWhat a Drum solo on Alive! What stamina. It's been one of my favorites since 1975. Go cat go!
  • Sim from Cleveland RocksStraight up rock and roll.
