I’m giving you a longing look, everyday.
I don’t want nobody else.
You snatch a chill and you match a cigarette, she pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet.
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay, it only took my little fingers to blow you away.

Why don’t you tell me about the mystery dance?
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Wait until they’ve got you running to the night rally.
