lyrics

It was just after the show at the Ferrari Disco
This little punk upstart grabbed my hand for a go
And before I could deny her we were on the dance floor
And before I could escape her a quick claw took my collar close

The aggression was excitin', it took all my strength to fight it
And I couldn't break free with her hands all over me
She kept pressin' my defenses, a confusion to the senses
But I couldn't break free, no, I'd never break free
What more can I say? I know I'm too easy

It didn't take long for me to turn to a lap dog
I had a match for her lips for every cigarette she'd draw
And before I can deny her she brings my neck close
And before I can escape her a pair of legs unfold

The aggression was excitin', it took all my strength to fight it
And I couldn't break free with her hands all over me
She kept pressin' my defenses, a confusion to the senses
But I couldn't break free, no, I'd never break free
What more can I say? I know I'm too easy

And before I can deny her she brings my neck close
And before I can escape her we're on the dance floor

The aggression was excitin', it took all my strength to fight it
And I couldn't break free with her hands all over me
She kept pressin' my defenses, a confusion to the senses
But I couldn't break free, no, I'd never break free
The aggression was excitin', it took all my strength to fight it
And I couldn't break free with her hands all over me
She kept pressin' my defenses, a confusion to the senses
But I couldn't break free, no, I'd never break free
