lyrics

What's wrong with me?
Well, what on earth's the matter with you
Now can't you see
I need you to do what you do
Those little things
That take away the hurt and pain
Those little things
That drive me this side of insane
So fill my loving cup, girl
And don't you stop until I say when
Now I told you once
I don't want to have to tell you again

Well, I'm a wreck
A bundle of nerves and wires
I got a load
A heavy, heavy load of desire
I got a fuse
Got a long fuse, but it's lit
When I explode
You won't have time to know what hit
So, girl, when I call
You better come running 'for I count to ten
And now I told you once
I don't want to have to tell you again

I roll and tumble
I roll with it the best I can
But I'm not a rock
I'm not a rock, I'm a man
And I'm the man
You need to give some lovin' to
And I'm the man
Who'll give it right back to you
'Cause all I wanna do
Is take us both some place we never been
And now I told you once
I don't wanna have to tell you again
