Lyrics

There ain't no man
Ain't no woman in this house
Hey all we got here is angels, robots and cats

Well call me blind
Call me dumb
Call me numb
But just don't call back
Until you're ready to come

Hey, Baby
When're you gonna give it up
When're you gonna give
Try to let go and let it live
Why don't you let it live?

I shaved my head
pierced my thumb
tattooed my bum
Well nothing I do seems to turn the trick with you
And now you've got me looking like a goddamn fool
I think I'll go over and drown you in your parent?s pool

Hey, Baby
When're you gonna give it up
When're you gonna give
Try to let go and let it live
Why don't you let it live?

Baby you're holding out on me
I guess you just don't see
You and I were bound to be
Singing some sort of harmony
Harmony
Harmony

I had you sitting up high upon a chair
You had me lickin? your boots and you didn?t care
Well don?t expect me to be getting back in your hair
?Cause there ain?t nothing but an empty promise there

Hey Hey Hey Hey!
When're you gonna give it up
When're you gonna give
Try to let go and let it live
Why don't you let it live?

Let it Live
Let it Live
Let it Live

Let it Live!
