You build me up, you knock me down

Provoke a smile, then make me frown

You are the queen of run-around

You know it's true

You chew me up and spit me out

Enjoy the taste I leave in your mouth

You look at me, I look at you

Neither of us know what to do

There may not be another way to your heart

So I guess I'd better find a new way in

(Hey) and I shiver when I hear your name

I think about you, but it's not the same

I won't be satisfied 'til I'm under your skin

Immobilized by the thought of you

I'm paralyzed by the sight of you

And hypnotized by the words you say

Not true, but I believe 'em anyway

So come to bed, it's getting late

There's no more time for us to waste

Remember how my body tastes

You feel your heart begin to race

There may not be another way to your heart

So I guess I'd better find the new way in

(Hey) and I shiver when I hear your name

I think about you, but it's not the same

I won't be satisfied 'til I'm under your skin, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah

Oh

Feel your heart begin to race

There may not be another way to your heart

So I guess I'd better find a new way in

(Hey) and I shiver when I hear your name

I think about you, but it's not the same

I won't be satisfied 'til I'm under your skin, yeah, yeah, yeah

There may not be another way to your heart

So I guess I'd better find a new way in

And I shiver when I hear your name

I think about you, but it's not the same

I won't be satisfied 'til I'm under your skin, yeah-yeah, yeah
