I've been on tenterhooks, ending-in dirty looks

List'ning to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that

She said, "That's that, I don't want to chitter-chat"

 

Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat

Pump it up, when you don't really need it

Pump it up, until you can feel it

4x Chorus end

 

Down in the pleasure center

Hell-bent or heaven-sent

Listen to the propaganda

Listen to the latest slander

There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand

 

Pump it up, until you can feel it

Pump it up, when you don't really need it

4x Chorus end

4x Chorus end

4 X Drums only HEY

 

She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical

Though you, try to stop it, she's like a nar-cotic

You want to torture her, you want to talk to her

All the things you bought for her

Putting up your temperature

 

Pump it up, until you can feel it

Pump it up, when you don't really need it

4x Chorus end

 

Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin

You put your passion out, under the pressure pin

Fall in to submission hit-and-run transmission

No use wishing now, for any other sin

 

Pump it up, until you can feel it

Pump it up, when you don't really need it

4x Chorus end

 

Pump it up, until you can feel it

Pump it up, when you don't really need it

4x Chorus end

 

Pump it up, until you can feel it

Pump it up, when you don't really need it

Don't really need it

Don't really need it

Don't really need it
