Thanks go out to our musical host Jim Adams for continuing SLS each week. Today I chose “Ways to be Wicked” by Lone Justice. This is the title track from their 1985 debut album and the lyrics were written by Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. The album didn’t do very well, possibly due to overhype (according to Wikipedia). The song is interesting though…
Ways to be Wicked
Honey, why you always smile
When you see me hurt so bad
Tell me what I did to you, babe
That could make you act like thatWell, I’ve been your fool before, honey
Yeah and I probably will again
‘Cause you ain’t afraid to let me have it
No, you ain’t afraid to stick it inWell, you know so many
Ways to be wicked
Oh, but you don’t know one little thing about loveI can take a little pain
Yeah, I can hold it pretty well
I can watch your little eyes light up
While you’re walking me through hellWell, I’ve been your fool before, honey
Yeah, I probably will again
‘Cause you ain’t afraid to let me have it
No, you ain’t afraid to stick it inWell you know so many
Ways to be wicked
But you don’t know one little thing about loveThose cobra eyes
Light with a smile
Baby, you take pride
In the devil down insideWell, I can take a little pain
Yeah, I can hold it pretty well
I can watch your little eyes light up
While you’re walking me through hellWell, I’ve been your fool before, honey
Yeah, and I probably will again
You ain’t afraid to let me have it
No, you ain’t afraid to stick it inWell, you know so many
Ways to be wicked
Oh, but you don’t know one little thing about loveWell, you know so many
Ways to be wicked
Yeah, but you don’t know one little, one little thing about loveYeah, you know so many
Ways to be wicked
But you don’t know one little thing about love

It’s a good song, but the singer’s voice bugs. 🤷🏼♀️The band was good though.🎶🌠

They made some great songs didn’t they? Don’t Toss Us Away a personal fave and I think she covered it again 20 odd years later!
