Lyrics
Turn Me Off Kissin’ makes me stupid Huggin’ makes me dumb Touchin’ turns my brain off But just talkin’ makes me numb. So you’ve got to help me, darlin’, You seem to have control Help me put the Goddam brakes on, Don’t let me rock and roll Turn me off, but don’t cut the wire Cool me down, but don’t put out the fire Knock me out, but wake me up at the bell Don’t burn me in heaven, don’t freeze me in hell You are the very coolest, No one else can keep so calm You saved me from barbaric hordes You are my Amazon Where do you get your power? Why aren’t you in jail? Where’d you find that there thing at? Why don’t you keep it veiled? Chorus I wish I had a little switch To shut the damn thing down It’s got me by the eyeballs Humiliation by the pound Who’s got the power really? I wish that it was me But you’re in the top position You’ve got the thing I need Instrumental Chorus, Sing Last Line I pay the price for knowing What you hide behind that style No one else can keep the lid on No one else can smile that smile I’m the hottest thing since fire You’re the coolest thing since ice I don’t like the way I like you How it’s nice when you’re not nice Chorus
