Envy
Ash · Intergalactic Sonic 7's
Driven to distraction, waiting on your call
I am getting trigger happy but it doesnÂ’t help at all
No, and i canÂ’t even think, with you still in my head
No, and i cannot do anything, i want you in my head
Envy, envy, envy (x2)
Breathless, weak iÂ’m distracted, i wanna get under your skin
Like a fever, you leave my mouth dry, but i canÂ’t do anything
CanÂ’t stop this burning from within
CÂ’mon baby, cÂ’mon baby, cÂ’mon baby, cÂ’mon
Fingertips in the honey dipped, you know it set my soul on fire
From her sultry hips to her velvet lips
You know i couldnÂ’t get much higher
I lose my concentration, walk around in a dream
So come on give me some of your reaction, I wanna know explicitly
How it feels, so dirty sweet
Envy, envy, envy (x2)
CÂ’mon baby, cÂ’mon baby, cÂ’mon baby, cÂ’mon
Too much! Too much!
Got struck by a lightning bolt
Between the eyes, got paralysed
Way before i realised, hypnotised
Conspiracy, mystery, the air she breathes
Controversy, iÂ’m heading for the deep freeze
Envy, envy, envy
Envy, envy, envy
From the east to the west
The north to the south
I want you so bad
Wanna turn you inside out
I wanna all night long
Feel the sweet sensations
Sassy temptations
Of her hot vibrations.
Envy
