Communication Breakdown
Iron Maiden · Eddie's Archive [2002]
Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin
I don't know what it is that I like about you
But I like it a lot
Won't let me hold you
Let me feel your lovin' touch

It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane!
Hey girl, I got something I think you want to know
Hey girl, I wanna tell you that I love you so
I wanna hold you in my arms, and feel the love tonight
Im never gonna let you go
cause I like your charms

Im having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane!
