She paints her face just to hide his bruises

I've got bad news, it's totally useless

'til one day, the spider left the house

I climbed on top of her, kissed her on the mouth

Everybody knows what's going down tonight

I'm on the edge, on the verge of uptight

It's not alright, I'm in a panic and I'm sweating

Cut the butterfly out, please pass the knife


System overload, surge malfuntion

Aching for your love

Starved and malnourished

We've been tarnished with a kiss

There goes our precious innocence

It's such a sin, she keeps running back to him

With closed fists, he's got her convinced

And it's an imperfection that I keep perfecting

I keep picking you and it's the wrong selection


Baby, report to the dance floor

I can't take this anymore

Your boyfriends waiting at the front door

I must be crazy to want more

A kiss seems so innocent, oh, I'm sure

Call me crazy but I want more

Maybe we can slip out the back door

I can't take this anymore


(Sha-shake me, wake me up please

Sha-shake me, wake me up) [Acoustic version]

Sha-shake me, wake me up please

And make sure I'm not dreaming


Standing there, right next to me

Tuh-tuh-touch me

Let's get dirty


Baby, report to the dance floor

I can't take this anymore

Your boyfriends waiting at the front door

I must be crazy to want more

A kiss seems so innocent, oh, I'm sure

Call me crazy but I want more

Maybe we can slip out the back door

I can't take this anymore


Sha-shake me, wake me up please
