[Intro]
Pump me up, pump me up, pump me up, pump me up
Pump me, pump me, pump me
Pump me, pump me, pump me
Pump, pump, pump, pump me up, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up

[Verse 1]
Send in someone else
I'm tired of romance
They call me "the game"
And anyone can play

[Chorus]
Pump me up, pump me up
Won't you come in and play with me?
Pump me, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up

[Verse 2]
They call this "the house"
We have need without feeling
Do you want the shame?
I can't escape from the sound

[Chorus]
Pump me up, pump me up
Won't you come in and play with me?
Pump me up, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up

[Verse 3]
My heart beats slowly
I'll tear your heart to pieces
I'm the face of love
And this love burns cold

[Chorus]
Pump me up, pump me up
Won't you come in and play with me?
Pump me up, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up
Pump me up, pump me up
