[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It's a little bit late now
But there's times you will
Get a little bit out of hand
Making all of a spill
And if we can lay this down
You're going all the way
Take a look and i'll check it out
Cause i can always find it
[Pre-Chorus]
Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
[Verse 2]
A little megalomania becomes you, evidently
There ain't a thing you can acquire
With your cling-wrap plaything
Just look at this state
I crawl around in a daze
Like symptomatic case
Of your soul persuasion
[PreChorus]
Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Ooh, it's a little bit later now
And there's time you will let it all get
Out of hand when you feel you feel
I just switched on the operation
Such a lovely face, ooh
It pulls me into place, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
[Chorus-Outro]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me...
[Verse 1]
It's a little bit late now
But there's times you will
Get a little bit out of hand
Making all of a spill
And if we can lay this down
You're going all the way
Take a look and i'll check it out
Cause i can always find it
[Pre-Chorus]
Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
[Verse 2]
A little megalomania becomes you, evidently
There ain't a thing you can acquire
With your cling-wrap plaything
Just look at this state
I crawl around in a daze
Like symptomatic case
Of your soul persuasion
[PreChorus]
Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me

Ooh, it's a little bit later now
And there's time you will let it all get

[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
[Chorus-Outro]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me...
