You make me, you make me, you make me
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Time you take it
You look so good
You take your time
Tick tick tick time

You take it, let's have a look
Tick tick tick time
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Time you take it, time you take it

You make me, you make me
You make me want to loose
You make me want to loose

You make me want to loose
You make me want to loose
You look like
You take your time
Tick tick tick time
You take it, let's have a look
Tick tick tick time
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Time you take it, time you take it

    General Comment:Honestly one of the best tracks from their earlier stuff. Fever to Tell would be my fav album. Does anybody know how many times she screams "tick" in each outburst? I counted ~40 in the last near the end. :D

    General Comment:the songs not about a guy that she REALLY wants... shes gay so its mody likely about a girl that she REALLY wants. And like dedgrrlsdance said, it could be about how girls are these days, taking all kinds of time to fix themselves up, and shes saying its doesnt even work for them ha "you look like shit!"

    General Comment:This song's alot of things to me... I absolutely love it! Karen O makes this her own and it would be nothing without her. Or someone with an equally orgasm-sounding squeal.. not many people could pull this one off.

    You make me tick.... its like a time bomb. Someone driving you crazy, seeing a guy and something goes off inside her, but this guy is taking his time, looking juicier by the minute. She maybe has a look inside him, or inside herself and realizes that this guy is making her want to lose herself, give up and just plain fall to her knees. She persuades herself that he looks like shit, but is really still freaking out. Its pretty much all interpretation. I agree with lots of the people who've commented so far.

    General Comment:i think of it as a girl who is seeing a guy...and at first she gets there and he looks so good but then he takes so long..she gets so frustrated that she just wants to leave and she tells him he looks like shit because she knows that someone who took so long would be pretty insecure about there appearance
