Delirious
Prince · The Hits/ The B-Sides [2011]
i lose all self control baby, just can't steer
my wheels get locked in place
i get a stupid look on my face
cuz when it comes to makin a pass pretty mamma
i just cant win a race
cuz i get delirious
delirious delirious delirious
i get delirious, when you hold my hand
my body gets so weak i can hardly stand
my temperature's running hot
baby you got to stop
cus if you don't i'm gonna explode
and girl i got a lot
i get delirious
delirious delirious delirious
i get delirious, whenever you're near
girl you gotta take control cause i just cant steer
you're just too much too take
i can't stop i ain't got no breaks
girl you gotta take me for a little ride
up and down in and out and around your lake
im delirious
delirious delirious delirious
