You build me up
You knock me down
Provoke a smile
And make me frown
You are the queen of runaround
You know it's true

You chew me up
And spit me out
Enjoy the taste
I leave in your mouth
You look at me
I look at you
Neither of us know what to do

There may not
Be another way to your heart
So I guess I'd better find a new way in
I shiver when i hear your name
Think about you but it's not the same
I won't be satisfied 'til I'm under your skin

Immobilized by the thought of you
Paralyzed by the sight of you
Hypnotized by the words you say
Not true but I believe 'em anyway

So come to bed it's getting late
There's no more time for us to waste
Remember how my body tastes
You feel you heart being to race

There may not
Be another way to your heart
So I guess I'd better find a new way in, hey
I shiver when I hear your name
Think about you, but it's not the same
I won't be satisfied 'till I'm under your skin
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

There may not
Be another way to your heart
So I guess I'd better find a new way in
And I shiver when I hear your name
I think about you, but it's not the same
I won't be satisfied 'till I'm under your skin

There may not
Be another way to your heart
So I guess I'd better find a new way in
And I shiver when I hear your name
I think about you, but it's not the same
I won't be satisfied 'till I'm under your skin (yeah, yeah, yeah)

    I love all the double-meanings. It is dirty, and the music is so frustrated.

    The chorus is the best: "There may not be another way to your heart so I guess I better find a new way in." Like when you try so hard to use romance to show a girl how you feel about her and it doesn't work. All you want to do is fuck her then. "I won't be satisfied 'til I'm under your skin." Figuratively, he wants to create the same paranoia she's created in his mind. Physically, well, he just wants to fuck her.

    So frustrated.

    Best song on the album. Creates nice contrast into 'She Will Be Loved', too.
