You’ll never make me stay, so take your weight offa me.
I know your every move, so won’t you jus’ let me be.
I've been here times before, but I was too blind t’see,
That you se-duce every man. This time you won't se-duce me.
She’s sayin’, “That’s ok. Hey baby do what you please.
I have the stuff that you want, I am the thing that you need.”
She looked me deep in the eyes, she’s touchin’ me so to start.
She says “There’s no turnin’ back.” she trapped me in ‘er heart.

She likes the boys in the band, she knows when they come to town.
Every musician’s fan after the curtain comes down.
She waits at backstage doors for those who have prestige,
Who promise fortune and fame, a life that's so carefree.
She’s sayin’, “That’s ok. Hey baby do what you want.
I’ll be your night lovin’ thang. I’ll be the freak you can taunt.
An’ I don't care what you say, I wanna go too far.
I’ll be your everything if you make me a star.”

Repeat Chorus tab 2x (excluding the ‘Lemme be’ part)

She said, “I hafta go home ‘cause I’m real tired, you see.
But I hate sleepin’ alone, why don't you come with me?”
I said, “My baby’s at home, she's prob’ly worried tonight.
I didn’ call on the phone to say that I’m alright.”
Diana walked up to me, she said, “I’m all yours tonight.”
At that I ran to the phone sayin’, “Baby I’m alright.”
I said, “But unlock the door, ‘cause I forgot the key.”
She said “He’s not comin’ back, because he’s sleepin’ with me.”
