[Verse 1]
Darlin’, tell me something I don’t know
Be my baby, be my GTO
Call me something no one else calls me
I forget how I want it, that electricity

[Chorus]
Well, my heart was breaking and got left unlocked
Didn’t see you sneak in, but I’m glad you stopped
Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how'd you get your kisses to fill me with electricity?

[Verse 2]
Love like locked horns, love like dominos
Be my midnight, be my ebb and flow
I forget how I want it, how it crept up on me
It takes over, electricity

[Chorus]
And my heart was breaking and got left unlocked
Didn’t see you sneak in, but I’m glad you stopped
Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how'd you get your kisses to fill me with electricity?

[Bridge]
Separated, there I face it
Love like thunder, love like falling snow

[Chorus]
Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how'd you get your kisses to fill me with electricity?

Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, England. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, rhythm/lead guitar), Matt Helders (drums, vocals), Jamie Cook (lead/rhythm guitar) and Nick O'Malley (bass, backing vocals). Former band member Andy Nicholson (bass guitar, backing vocals) left the band in 2006 shortly after their debut album was released. Their sound has changed extensively from album to album, gradually evolving from raw, youthful post-punk revival music to R ‘n’ B and jazz-inspired experiments.

All four original members of the band were devoted fans of hip-hop when they were younger, a genre that would have an immense influence on their later work, but it was the sound of The Strokes and The Libertines that would help shape their early style. The Arctic Monkeys became one of the first bands to find fame and recognition purely through internet publicity and social media; the Arctics used to sell their demos CDs at a bar where Alex Turner used to work, but due to the limited number of CDs, their fans started to upload them on the internet.

Initially, they refused to sign a record contract with any label through fear that they would want the band to change their songs, going as far as to refuse scouts guaranteed entry into their gigs. However, they eventually signed with Domino because of the “do it yourself” attitude of founder, Lawrence Bell, who ran the label from his own house.
