Temptation Waits (#1) To the top

I'll tell you something 
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's clothing 

I am a bonfire 
I am a vampire 
I'm waiting for my moment 

You come on like a drug 
I just can't get enough 
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more 
And there's so much at stake 
I can't afford to waste 
I never needed anybody like this before 

I'll tell you something 
I am a demon 
Some say my biggest weakness
 
I have my reasons 
Call it my defense 
Be careful what you're wishing 
 
You come on like a drug 
I just can't get enough 
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more 
And there's so much at stake 
I can't afford to waste 
I never needed anybody like this before 

You are a secret 
A new possession 
I like to keep you guessing 

You come on like a drug 
I just can't get enough 
I'm like an addict coming at you for a little more 
And there's so much at stake 
I can't afford to waste 
I never needed anybody like this before 

When I'm not sure what I'm living for 
(When I'm not sure who I am)  [repeat]

When I'm not sure what I'm living for 
When I'm not sure what I'm looking for 
When I'm not sure what I'm living for


I Think I'm Paranoid (#2) To the top

You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove

I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

I fall down just to give you thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I amp my faith to the sticking pole

I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated
I think I'm paranoid
Too complicated

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

I think I'm paranoid...I think I'm paranoid 

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking part is easy
All I want is you

Steal me, deal me
Anyway you heal me
Lend me, take me 
You can never change me
Love me, like me
Go ahead and fight me
Please me, tease me
Go ahead and leave me

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need
As I long as I want you, baby
It's alright

Bend me, break me
Anyway you need
As I long as I want you, baby
It's alright


When I Grow Up (#3) To the top

Cut my tongue out 
I've been caught out 
Like a giant juggernaut 
Happy hours 
Golden showers 
On a cruise to freak you out 

We could fly a helicopter 
Nothing left to talk about 
Entertain you 
Celebrate you 
I'll be back to frame you 
 
When I grow up 
I'll be stable 
When I grow up 
I'll turn the tables 

Trying hard to fit among you 
Floating out to wonderland 
Unprotected 
God I'm pregnant 
Damn the consequences 

When I grow up 
I'll be stable 
When I grow up 
I'll turn the tables 

Blood and blisters 
On my fingers 
Chaos rules when we're apart 
Watch my temper 
I go mental 
I'll try to be gentle 

When I grow up 
I'll be stable 
When I grow up 
I'll turn the tables 

When I grow up 
When I grow up 
When I grow up 
I'll turn the tables 
 
Don't take offense 
Better make amends 
Rip it all to shreds and let it go 

I rip it all to shreds and let it go [repeat 3x]


Medication (#4) To the top

I don't need an education 
I learnt all I need from you 
They've got me on some medication 
My point of balance was askew 
It keeps my temperature from rising 
My blood is pumping through my veins 

CHORUS: 
Somebody get me out of here 
I'm tearing at myself 
Nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else 

I wear myself out in the morning 
You're asleep when I get home 
Please don't call me self defending 
You know it cuts me to the bone 
And it's really not surprising 
I hold a force I can't contain 

CHOURS 

And still you call me co-dependent 
Somehow you lay the blame on me 
And still you call me co-dependent 
Somehow you lay the blame on me 

Somebody get me out of here 
I'm tearing at myself 
I've got to make a point these days 
To extricate myself 

CHORUS

And still you call me co-dependent 
Somehow you lay the blame on me


Special (#5) To the top

I'm living without you 
I know all about you 
I have run you down into the ground 
Spread disease about you over town 

I used to adore you 
I couldn't control you 
There was nothing that I wouldn't do 
To keep myself around and close to you 

Do you have an opinion? 
A mind of your own? 
I thought you were special 
I thought you should know 
But I've run out of patience 
I couldn't care less 
 

Do you have an opinion? 
A mind of your own? 
I thought you were special 
I thought you should know 

I used to amuse you 
I knew that I'd lose you 
Now you're here and begging for a chance 
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back 

Do you have an opinion? 
A mind of your own? 
I thought you were special 
I thought you should know 
But I've run out of patience 
I've run out of comments 
I'm tired of violence 
I couldn't care less 

I'm looking for a new [repeat 4x] 

We were the talk of the town [repeat 4x] 

I thought you were special [repeat 4x]


Hammering In My Head (#6)To the top

I'm stressed but you're freestyle 
I'm overworked but I'm undersexed 
I must be made of concrete 
I sign my name across your chest 

Give out the same old answers 
I trot them out for the relatives 
Company tried and tested 
I use the ones that I love the best 

Like an animal you're moving over me 
Like an animal you're moving over me 

When did I get perverted 
I can't remember your name 
I'm growing introverted 
You touch my hand and it's not the same 

This was so unexpected 
I never thought I'd get caught 
Play boomerang with your demons 
Shoot to kill and you'll pop them off  

Like an animal you're moving over me 
Like an animal you're moving over me 

You should be sleeping my love 
Tell me what you're dreaming of [repeat 4x] 

I knew you were mine for the taking 
I knew you were mine for the taking 
I knew you were mine for the taking 
When I walked in the room 

I knew you were mine for the taking 
I knew you were mine for the taking 
Your eyes light up 
When I walk in the room 

A hammering in my head don't stop 
In the bullet train 
From Tokyo to Los Angeles 
I'm leaving you behind 
A flash in the pan 
A storm in a teacup 
A needle in a haystack 
A prize for the winning 
A dead for the raising 
A catch for the chasing 
A jewel for the choosing 
A man for the making in this blistering heat 

Sweat it all out 
Sweat it all out 
With your bedroom eyes and your baby pouts 
Sweat it all out 
In our electric storms and our shifting sands 
Our candy jars and our sticky hands 

Sweat it all out [repeat 6x] 

Don't forget what I wrote you then 
And don't forget what I told you then 
And don't forget I that meant to win 
And don't forget your ??? 
So a hammering in my head don't stop 
In the bullet train from Tokyo to Los Angeles 


Push It (#7) To the top

I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you'll help me out

Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
No need to fight
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
We'll be alright

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it
Make the beats go higher

I'm sorry that I hurt you
Please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
We'll stay up all night

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it
Make the beats go higher

Come on, push it, you can do it
Come on, prove it, nothing to it
Come on, use it, let's get through it
Come on, push it, you can do it

Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Don't be uptight
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
We'll stay up all night

This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes and my body aches

Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it (This is the noise that keeps me awake)
Make the beats go higher
Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it (My head explodes and my body aches)
Make the beats go higher
Push it
Make the beats go higher
Push it (This is the noise that keeps me awake)
Make the beats go higher (My head explodes and my body aches)

Don't worry baby
We'll be alright
Don't worry baby
We'll be alright

Push it [repeat 5x]


Dumb (#8) To the top

I never plan to be your savior
I said I have a dirty mouth
Stop paralyzing my behavior
If you're too dumb to work it out

I've got to keep myself together
You know I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter 
Maybe you missed the point

I'm feeling slow
Dumber than was
I don't let it show

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish
To let it go
You're a light come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Maybe I can write a letter
To help me with my self-esteem
You should get to know me better
No one's ever what the seem

I'm feeling slow
Dumber than was
I don't let it show

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish
To let it go
You're a light come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Still don't know what you think of me [repeat 4x]

Now that you know
What you know
I bet you wish
To let it go
You're a light come
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Now that you know
What you know
You better reap 
What you sew
Now that I'm calm
Sucking your thumb
Better off dumb

Still don't know what you think of me [repeat]
Still don't know what I think of me
Still don't know what you think of me


Sleep Together (#9) To the top

I got you crawling up a mountain 
Hanging round my neck 
I got you twisted round my finger
Crawling round my legs 

The emptiness, the craziness 
Satisfy this hungriness 
Darling, how would it feel? 

CHORUS: 
If we sleep together
Will you like me better 
If we come together 
We'll go down forever 
If we sleep together 
Will I like you better 
If we come together 
Prove it now or never 

Make me a pretty person 
Make me feel like I belong 
Make me hard and make me happy 
Make me beautiful 

The emptiness, the craziness 
Satisfy this hungriness 
Darling, how would it feel? 

CHORUS 

If we sleep together (Nothing satisfies me baby) 
If we sleep together (I'll wear something pretty baby) 
If we sleep together (Give me what I crave now baby) 
If we sleep together (Save the rest for later baby) 
If we sleep together (You will drive me crazy baby) 
If we sleep together (I save it all for you my baby) 
If we sleep together
If we sleep together


Wicked Ways (#10) To the top

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways 
Acted like a lunatic for years 
Lord knows I try to be good 
I'd keep my promises if only I could 
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you 

And I tried (repeat 4x) 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope 
Pray to God for love and hope 
Bring the virgin home for luck 
Bolt the door down, keep it shut 

I've done things I never thought I'd do 
Sure it helps to lose myself in you 
A little time and I'll be all right 
Come on sugar, let's go out tonight 
Forgive your trespasses 
And all that we've been through 

And I tried (8x) 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope 
Pray to God for love and hope 
Bring the virgin home for luck 
Bolt the door down, keep it shut 

That sinking feeling 
When you are leaving 
All I believed in 
Walks out my door 

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways 
The damage is done, there's nothing left to save 

And I tried (repeat 7x) 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope (Just like I told you) 
Pray to God for love and hope (Just like I warned you) 
Bring the virgin home for luck (Just like I told you) 
Bolt the door down, keep it shut (Just like I warned you)


You Look So Fine (#11)To the top

You look so fine 
I want to break your heart 
And give you mine 
You're taking me over 

It's so insane 
You've got me tethered and chained 
I hear your name 
And I'm falling over 

I'm not like all the other girls 
I can't take it like the other girls 
I won't share it like the other girls 
That you used to know 

You look so fine 

Knocked down, cried out 
Been down just to find out 
I'm through bleeding for you 

I'm open wide 
I want to take you home 
We'll waste some time 
You're the only one for me 

You look so fine 
I'm like the desert tonight 
Leave her behind 
If you want to show me 

I'm not like all the other girls 
I won't take it like the other girls 
I won't fake it like the other girls 
That you used to know 

You're taking me over 
Over and over 
I'm falling over 
Over and over 

You're taking me over 
Drown in me one more time 
Hide inside me tonight 
Do what you want to do 
Just pretend happy end 
Let me know, let it show 

Ending with letting go [repeat 3x] 

Let's pretend happy end [repeat 4x]


Thirteen (B-side)To the top

Won't you let me walk you home from school 
Won't you let me meet you at the pool 
Maybe Friday I can get tickets for the dance 
And I'll take you 

Won't you tell your dad, "get off my back" 
Tell him what we said about painted black 
Rock and Roll is here to stay 
Come inside where it's okay 
And I'll take you 

Won't you tell me what you're thinking of 
Would you be an outlaw for my love 
If it's over let me know 
If it's nowhere I can go
I won't let you


Lick The Pavement (B-side)To the top

You got my number 
You know what I mean
And I go crazy when
Whenever I bleed

Won't you come over
I swear I'll be nice
My girlfriends told me that
You've left your wife

CHORUS:
I've learned to bribe, I've learned to say please
Won't you lick the pavement for me
I've learned to bribe, I've learned to say please
I like you best when you're on your knees

I know you're lonely cause
You're just like me
Why don't you call me
You know where I'll be

CHORUS:
I've learned to bribe, I've learned to say please
Won't you lick the pavement for me
I've learned to bribe, I've learned to say please
I like you best when you're on your knees

Do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do

CHORUS:
I've learned to bribe, I've learned to say please
Won't you lick the pavement for me
I've learned to bribe, I've learned to say please
I like you best when you're on your knees

Do do do do do do do (When you're on your knees) [repeat]
Do do do do (Ah won't you lick the pavement for me) [repeat]
