This Maniac's In Love With You
Alice Cooper · Trash
I used to be so in control
But reality is losing itÂ’s hold
Now I donÂ’t know where to begin
Just look at the state that IÂ’m in
My mind is in total decay
IÂ’m coming to take you away
ThereÂ’s nothing more that I can do
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come true
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
This maniac, this maniac
My heart has been strapped in a straight jacket love
The therapy boys say it fits like a glove
IÂ’m crossing the line in my brain
The line between pleasure and pain
It takes all IÂ’ve got to survive
This madness will eat me alive
ThereÂ’s nothing more that I can do
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
IÂ’m all locked up inside of you
This maniac, this maniac
Now I donÂ’t know where to begin
Just look at the state that IÂ’m in
My mind is in total decay
IÂ’m coming to take you away
ThereÂ’s nothing more that I can do
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
You biggest fear has just come true
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
This maniac, this maniac
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
You biggest fear has just come true
This maniac, this maniac
But reality is losing itÂ’s hold
Now I donÂ’t know where to begin
Just look at the state that IÂ’m in
My mind is in total decay
IÂ’m coming to take you away
ThereÂ’s nothing more that I can do
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
Your biggest fear has just come true
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
This maniac, this maniac
My heart has been strapped in a straight jacket love
The therapy boys say it fits like a glove
IÂ’m crossing the line in my brain
The line between pleasure and pain
It takes all IÂ’ve got to survive
This madness will eat me alive
ThereÂ’s nothing more that I can do
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
IÂ’m all locked up inside of you
This maniac, this maniac
Now I donÂ’t know where to begin
Just look at the state that IÂ’m in
My mind is in total decay
IÂ’m coming to take you away
ThereÂ’s nothing more that I can do
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
You biggest fear has just come true
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
This maniac, this maniac
This maniacÂ’s in love with you
You biggest fear has just come true
This maniac, this maniac
