[Ad Lib]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I got you crawling up a mountain
Hanging 'round my neck
I got you twisted round my finger
Crawling 'round my legs

[Pre-Chorus]
The emptiness, the craziness
Satisfy this hungriness
Darling, how would it feel?

[Chorus]
If we sleep together
Will you like me better?
If we come together
We'll go down forever
If we sleep together
Will I like you better?
If we come together
Prove it now or never

[Ad Lib]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Make me a pretty person
Make me feel like I belong
Make me hard and make me happy
Make me beautiful

[Pre-Chorus]
The emptiness, the craziness
Satisfy this hungriness
Darling, how would it feel?

[Chorus]
If we sleep together
Will you like me better?
If we come together
We'll go down forever
If we sleep together
Will I like you better?
If we come together
Prove it now or never

[Outro]
If we sleep together
Nothing satisfies me, baby!
If we sleep together
I'll wear something pretty, baby!
If we sleep together
Give me what I crave now, baby!
If we sleep together
Save the rest for later, baby!
If we sleep together
You will drive me crazy, baby!
If we sleep together
I save it all for you, my baby!
If we sleep together
If we sleep together

Garbage

Garbage is a Scottish-American Alternative rock band, formed April 8th 1994. Once producer Butch Vig decided to break out of the rock he had been producing ever since Nirvana’s Nevermind, he got together with his college/studio partners Duke Erikson and Steve Marker to write some demos that would basically be remixes in song form. Once someone commented that “it sounds like garbage”, Vig decided to embrace the name. Then they invited Scottish singer Shirley Manson after seeing her on MTV, and the band’s sound was completed with sly, dark and snarky lyrics delivered in a sultry way.

The band’s eponymous debut album was a surprise hit upon release in August 1995, selling more than 4 million copies worldwide. Follow-up Version 2.0 (1998) was equally successful, even receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Then the band recorded “The World Is Not Enough” to the eponymous James Bond movie, and the record industry started to bring the band down.

Beautiful Garbage (2001) was barely promoted due to a release too close to the 9/11 attacks, and underperformed at the charts. Fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005) had a troubled production where bandmembers were frequently arguing, and eventually the album’s tour was cut short and Garbage disbanded for 2 years, only regrouped in 2007 to record new tracks for greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage.
