Hey girl, stop what you're doin'
Hey girl, you'll drive me to ruin
I don't know what it is I like about you but I like it a lot
Won't you let me hold you, let me feel your loving touch
Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane
Hey girl, I got something I think you ought to know
Hey babe, I wanna tell ya that I love you so
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah
I'm never gonna let you go, 'cause I like your charm
Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane
Oh, suck it
Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane, yeah
(Communication breakdown) yeah, I want you to love me all night
I want you to love me all night (communication breakdown)
I want, oh
I want, yeah (communication breakdown)
I want you to love me
I want you to love me, yeah (communication breakdown)
I want you to love
Yeah, I want you to love. (communication breakdown)
