[Verse 1]
Last night I lost my head
And fell right back into your love
I lay intoxicated
While angels circled high above
Deep in a perfect moment
All at once, it feels so right
But when I wake I see reality turn back and bite

[Interlude]
Ah, hah-ah, hah-ah
Ah, hah-ah, hah-ah
Ah, hah-ah, hah-ah
Ah, hah-ah, hah-ah

[Verse 2]
Your heartbeat's ticking
And your cool starts dripping
And you're tongue tied up on the phone
Your backbone's breaking
And your smooth starts shaking
Like you can't stand being alone
Your calm starts rocking
Little doubts are knocking
Like the whole world's slipping away
Attention's killing but the ride is thrilling
And you can't help going again
What you want is what you don't know
Turn me on and watch your ego
What you want is what you don't need
Stand up when you're talking to me

[Chorus]
I can't start giving you up
I'm lost without you
Can't stop tickin' the tock
I can't start giving you up
I'm mad about you
Can't stop slipping it off
I can't start giving you up
I'm lost without you
Can't stop tickin' the tock
I can't start giving you up
I'm mad about you
Can't stop slipping it off

[Bridge]
A girl's got to suffer for fashion
She knows what her body can do-ooh-ooh
She finds a man and she makes it her passion
I'm happy trying all the time with a boy like you
A girl's got to suffer for fashion
She knows what her body can do-ooh-ooh
She finds a man and she makes it her passion
I'm happy trying all the time with a boy like you

[Chorus]
I can't start giving you up
I'm lost without you
Can't start giving you up
I'm mad about you
I can't start giving you up
I'm lost without you
Can't stop tickin' the tock
I can't start giving you up
I'm mad about you
Can't stop slipping it off
I can't start giving you up
I'm lost without you
Can't stop tickin' the tock
I can't start giving you up
I'm mad about you
Can't stop slipping it off

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
