Lyrics

All Tensed Up

[Verse] Got these little pills To curb your appetite Take a couple of these You'll be up all night I can scream, I can jump, I can shout I can tear the whole place down When I take a couple of these I don't want you around [Interlude] All tensed up, did too many pills Wanna get near you but I can't stand still [Outro] Baby, I love you, but I'm too loaded To love you properly
