Lyrics
Another insane night and I have you to thank
I wonder what you're thinking and I come up blank
If I could get some sleep I might have a moment to unwind
You're a hurricane waiting for a place to strike
A pair of brown eyes begging for the things you like
You got the means to get 'em if you only made up your mind
Chorus:
Out of control, yet so, eager to please
Lie down with dogs, you know, you get up with fleas
Out of control, yet so, eager to please
You're the same as me
You'd like a long night walking on a moonlit beach
Maybe a quiet meal with something warm in reach
And if I didn't have a life myself, your wishes could come true
I need a tranquilizer, something off the shelf (tranquilize me)
I need a long vacation somewhere by myself (dancing nightly)
But if you give me that look I know I'll make that booking for two
Chorus
Take me for a fool again, I feel no pain
I'm only here to serve, as we both know
Chorus
