Lyrics
CHORUS
Right this minute I?m not doin? anything
I?m not doin? anything I might regret later on
Right this minute I?m not doin? anything
I?m not doin? anything at all
Another sticky situation and I find myself in trouble
I run for my life and look back at the rubble
I knew that this was comin? cause I?ve seen it all before
I swore I wasn?t gonna fool around anymore
Late last night I was up again thinkin?
I gotta straighten up, oh I might quit drinkin?
I seem to have a preference for very hot water
And last night I nearly got burned
CHORUS
Another close encounter and another near miss
I?m getting? too old to keep on lovin? like this
I?ve had a hundred second chances and a hundred times I?ve failed
I get on the right track and the train?s derailed
I knew by that big gold ring that you were taken
Shoulda slapped your face with the passes you were makin?
But I never hopped off til the bed stopped shakin?
Cuz last night I wasn?t concerned
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
Absolution or?electrocution
I?m a repeat offender with a red hot record
A little bit o? naughty feels a whole lot nice
Until passion meets reality and turns to ice
Come on, girl, you gotta use your head
But with you I?m always leadin? with my heart instead
Oh I stop on the green and go through the red
Despite all the lessons I?ve learned
CHORUS
