Biography

American rock vocalist and songwriter born in Rochester, NY on May 2, 1950. In 1970 he (drums/vocals) formed the group Black Sheep together with his brother Richard (guitar) and Bruce Turgon (bass). In 1976, out of approximately 50 singers that audition for guitarist/songwriter Mick Jones, he was chosen as the lead singer of what would become the successful hard rock group Foreigner. Thirteen years and numerous Top 10 hits later, he left Foreigner in 1989 after having some solo success and formed the rather short-lived group Shadow King in 1991. In 1993 he re-joined Foreigner. In the spring of 1997 he was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor; surgery preceded a year of rehabilitation and radiation treatment. He made a full recovery and resumed touring with Foreigner in 1999. In 2003 he once again left Foreigner and in January 2004 he formed the Lou Gramm Band with his brothers Richard (guitars/bass) and Ben (drums) along with Don Mancuso (guitars) and Andy Knoll (keyboards). Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013. Brother of [a=Richard Grammatico] and [a=Ben Grammatico Jr.]. Son of [a=Ben Grammatico Sr.]

LYRICS

I was standing there, watching her
While she would shoot arrows at my heart
I know there's no stopping her now
She's out to get me and boy she knows how
Like a landslide, all power going down
She took the ground out from under my feet
I knew this girl would get me right here
Where happiness and heartache meet
[Chorus:]
I'm givin' you a heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, and I don't want to run this race
Heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
I let it go, at full speed
When in love it seems
You're invincible at heart
Everyday I got deeper in it
I was a victim right from the start
I didn't know, the minute she was sure
Her poison arrow had hit the bull's eye
She turned and said my dreams are out of line
And stayed around to watch them die
[chorus]
What you've been getting isn't always what you see
Love has many faces now, but in your dreams of dreams
You do believe in holding on, you got to let it go
I had enough, I stepped back
There's only so much that a man like me can take
This heart of mine is a fragile thing
Once it's in pieces there's nothing to break
Now she's crying, she's crying over me
She still can't get it through her beautiful head
That pretty smile may fool somebody else
I'll tell you baby, all I see is red
[chorus]
She'll be gone in the morning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She'll be leaving you without a trace
Heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
