Song lyrics

You make me lose my buttons, oh yeah, you make me spit
I don't like my clothes anymore
We're spending time and money, yeah, you're colder than yourself
Now we're moving, now we're taking control

You make me lose my buttons, oh yeah, you make me spit
I don't like my clothes anymore
You take me to New Orleans where you put me to the test
I know what my heart is for

You reach out for a blanket, I say, "Girl you've got something
I love how you wear it"
Now we're spending time and money, yeah, you're colder than yourself
Now we're moving, now we're taking control

Love will get you down

My love's a laboratory, I set all my pets free
So baby, you should sleep with me
I make trips to the bathroom, yeah, my friends all have true grit
I am speckled like a leopard

Put a lid on Shirley Temple, yeah, you make sleek kills
Yeah, you travel, you travel
You park me in your Buick, you sing songs into my lips
Well, I am speckled like a leopard, just like a leopard

Trust will get you down
I love the way you put me in the big house
I love the way you put me in the big house

If I get there early, will it be the right time?
Our heaven is just waiting so put your hand into mine
If I get too surly, will you take that in stride?
Our boat is just there waiting so put that little hand in mine

And speak when you're spoken of
Catch up on your sleep, girl
When you wear that body glove

You're acting on initiative
You're spelling out your love
You shouldn't be alone in there
You could be above ground

All I want is to be the very best for you
And all I want is to be the very best for you
Oh, this time, there'll be no life of crime...

Circle around me now, baby, it'll be okay
'Cause we all go downtown sometimes
Somehow, baby, we'll beat this mess
It's the time, fuck the surface to meet the specialist

And time away from me will get you down
I love the way you put me in the big house
I love the way you put me in the big house

If I get there early, will it be the right time?
Our heaven is just waiting, so put that hand into mine
If I get too surly, will you take that in stride?
Our boat is just there waiting, so put your little hand in mine

And speak when you're spoken of
Catch up on your sleep
When you wear that body clock

You're acting on initiative
You're spelling out your love
You shouldn't be alone in there
You could be above ground

You're frustrated then go
You're frustrated then go

Honey bee, we should be through with this
Your packaged eyes, your vicious lips
You could be young but you're out of touch
If this love's been done then what's your rush?

I'm a specialist in hope and I'm registered to vote
Why don't you come into my barrio, we'll see if you can float
I'm a specialist in hope and I'm registered to vote
Why don't you come into my barrio, we'll see if you can float
