I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown
I'm not into your passport picture, I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs
I don't really mind how much you love me
Ooh, a little is all right
When you say come over and spend the night, tonight, tonight

[repeat verse]
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier
I know I've been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy
sometimes
But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line every time
(Csus4/Bb C/Bb)
And when it comes to all night living, I know what I'm giving
I've got it all down to a tee, and it's free

(You better you better you bet)
When I say I need you you say you better,
(You better you better you bet)

(You better you better you bet ooooh)
And when I say I need you you scream you better, ooh
