Maybe Baby movie - Pump It Up lyrics

rate me

Song by Elvis Costello & the Attractions<br /><br>

I've been on tenterhooks<br>

ending in dirty looks,<br>

list'ning to the Muzak,<br>

thinking 'bout this 'n' that.<br>

She said that's that.<br>

I don't wanna chitter-chat.<br>

Turn it down a little bit<br>

or turn it down flat.<br>

<br>

Pump it up when you don't really need it.<br>

Pump it up until you can feel it.<br>

<br>

Down in the pleasure centre,<br>

hell bent or heaven sent,<br>

listen to the propaganda,<br>

listen to the latest slander.<br>

There's nothing underhand<br>

that she wouldn't understand.<br>

<br>

Pump it up until you can feel it.<br>

Pump it up when you don't really need it.<br>

<br>

She's been a bad girl.<br>

She's like a chemical.<br>

Though you try to stop it,<br>

she's like a narcotic.<br>

You wanna torture her.<br>

You wanna talk to her.<br>

All the things you bought for her,<br>

putting up your temp'rature.<br>

<br>

Pump it up until you can feel it.<br>

Pump it up when you don't really need it.<br>

<br>

Out in the fashion show,<br>

down in the bargain bin,<br>

you put your passion out<br>

under the pressure pin.<br>

Fall into submission,<br>

hit-and-run transmission.<br>

No use wishing now for any other sin.<br>

<br>

Pump it up until you can feel it.<br>

Pump it up when you don't really need it.<br>

<br>
