Go Back

Headlock

We have no highs or lows and nothing in between,
I was hoping something would come and intervene...
right up until the day this girl showed up upon the scene..
now I walk around as if I'm in a dream...
but I don't know if its one to make me laugh or make me scream...

she turns up the coquettish talk and I wake up in some kind of headlock...
she won't let me come and she won't let me go...
so I'll take my chances, crash to the water (water)
down below where through me it flows...
I'll let the water come and wash this all away....

she said hold up, not so fast.
she said you talk tough but I know that it won't last.
that's right, she told me right to my face that my heart wouldn't last...
she jokes about how she can kick my ass... and then I'm half the way back home before I get it...

she turns up the coquettish talk and I wake up in some kind of headlock...
she won't let me come and she won't let me go...
so I'll take my chances, crash to the water (water)
down below where through me it flows...
I'll let the water come and wash this all...

*female vocal part:
sweet... I love the little things you do for me...
you're funny and considerate and sweet... (repeats)

the things she says suspend me in the air upside down...
at least that's how I feel when I look in her eyes.
how come I cant's seem to do the same to her.
I should tell her its a dirty trick if she don't mean it...

she turns up the coquettish talk and I wake up in some kind of headlock...
she won't let me come and she won't let me go...
so I'll take my chances, crash to the water (water)
down below where through me it flows...
she can think on the things that she already knows,
that this is a deal that she'd better close
or I'll let the water come and wash this all away....
