Aerosmith – Walk This Way Lyrics

Rock

Backstroke lover
Always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy, he say
He said, you ain't seen nothin'
'Til you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways

I met a cheerleader
Was a real young bleeder
Oh, the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin'
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singing, hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care

So I took a big chance
At the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Just gimme a kiss

Like this

Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me

I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbour with a daughter had a favour
So I gave her just a little kiss
Like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singing, hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care

So I took a big chance
At the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way
Just gimme a kiss

About This Song

"Walk This Way" is a swaggering rock anthem that captures youthful sexual awakening and coming-of-age experiences through playful, innuendo-laden storytelling. The song follows a narrator recounting his early romantic encounters, blending humor with explicit themes as he describes learning about intimacy from older mentors and experiences with young women. Musically, it features Aerosmith's signature blues-rock style with a driving rhythm, Joe Perry's memorable guitar riff, and Steven Tyler's distinctive raspy vocals that perfectly match the song's cheeky attitude. The track became a defining example of 1970s hard rock's rebellious spirit and helped establish Aerosmith's reputation for combining musical prowess with provocative, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Its later collaboration with Run-DMC in 1986 transformed it into a groundbreaking hip-hop crossover hit that introduced the song to new generations and demonstrated rock's potential for genre-blending innovation.
