Lyrics

Got Me Under Pressure

[Verse 1]

She likes wearing lipstick

She likes French cuisine

But she won't let me use my passion

Unless it's in a limousine

[Chorus]

She got me under pressure

She got me under pressure

[Verse 2]

She likes the art museum

She don't like Pavlov's dog

She fun at the mind museum

She likes it in a London fog

[Verse 3]

She don't like other women

She likes whips and chains

She likes cocaine

And flipping out with Great Danes

She's about all I can handle

It's too much for my brain

[Chorus]

It's got me under pressure

It's got me under pressure

[Instrumental Break 1:19-2:15]

[Bridge]

I'm gonna give her a message

Here's what I'm gonna say

"It's all over"

She might get out a nightstick

And hurt me real, real bad

By the roadside in a ditch

[Chorus]

It's got me under pressure

It's got me under pressure

It's got me under pressure

It's got me under pressure

[Instrumental Outro 2:45-4:03]
