Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from New York City popularized in comedic music videos on the television channel MTV in the 1980s. Although formed by guitar player Jay Jay French in 1973, all of their songs were written by the lead singer Dee Snider. They fused the shock tactics of Alice Cooperand W.A.S.P., the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the style of the New York Dolls, and the extravagant makeup of Kiss. Often misconceived as glam - the makeup and Dee's especially was more transformed into a horror creation, and the music is a lot more hard hitting, with less lyrics about sex, than glam rock. The group's hit songs include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock".

Twisted Sister
You and I, we lit the fire
We build it, baby, my desire
But now you say I overdo it
Be careful, baby, don't make me choose it
[CHORUS:]
Oh, always, oh, always gotta pay the price
Oughta hear who'd love for free
Gotta pay the price
Oh, pay the price for loving me, yeah
I need your love to be a man
But oh lord, honey, you don't understand, no
But both our lives have just begun
I just can't trade these two for one
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Ah, for love of me, yeah
[Solo - Eddie]
Oh, you and I, we lit the fire
We build it, baby, my desire
You want me to be your lover
Well, now you start to pay, there'll be no other
[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]
Ah, for love of me, yeah
