Lyrics:
You terrify me
Weâ??ve still not kissed
And yet Iâ??ve cried
You got too close in
I pushed and pushed
Opened your bites
So I could run run
And then I did betray the dust
You saw those teeth marks
They werenâ??t all yours
You had been trusted to a history
That had not worked for me
Into a history from which I could not face
So go on and shake me
Shake until I give it up
When I am in doubt baby
I know that we could make some love
So go on challenge me
Take the reigns and the seat
Watch me squirm baby
But youâ??re just what I need
And I've never played a fair game
Iâ??ve always had the upper hand
But what good is intellect and nerve if
I canâ??t respect any man
Yeah I want to play a fair game
Yeah I want to play a fair game
And I never played a fair game
Iâ??ve always had the upper hand
But what good is intellect and nerve if
I canâ??t respect any man
Yeah I want to play a fair game
Yeah I want to play a fair game
Iâ??ve always had the upper hand
But what good is intellect and nerve if
I canâ??t respect any man
I want to play a fair game
Oh, I want to play a fair game
I've always had the upper hand
What good is intellect and nerve if
I can't respect any man
I want to play a fair game
