Lust

Rick Springfield · Other Songs - Rick Springfield

Lust shows her pretty face and cupid hits his mark



And I have no time to say



I am not ready for this



Insipid smile on my face and a dumb remark



I trip, slip, slide over the precipice



I got the right map baby but the wrong direction



I'm staring at the TV set trying to right this wrong



I didn't cast my vote, it was a fixed election



Somebody tripped the switch and the light came on



Now, I can't make it stop



I cant make it stop



I cant make it stop



It's true and I can't explain



Just what makes her so different



I should feel wonderful, but I don't feel wonderful



And I don't want to carry this weight myself



You tell me I look bad



Hey what do you mean by that



Cause I'm addicted and I can't help myself



My wing and a prayer nose dives into the street



And they hang the "disturbed" sign outside my door



I twist my fingers and I shuffle my feet



My friend Dr. Robert said there is no cure



I got the right rat baby but the wrong dissection



I'm staring at the TV set trying to write this song



I didn't seek this mountain or this insurrection



I just entered somewhere beautiful I don't belong



I can't make it stop



I can't make it stop



I can't make it stop



It's true and I can't explain



Just what makes her so different



I don't want this fucked up pearl



I cannot take this she must be the one
