[Intro]
Wild thing!

[Verse 1]
Should've known better with a girl like you
You satisfied my every need
What a little heartbreaker you turned out to be
Prettiest face I've ever seen
Oh, dance little sister, you turn me on
You make my blood run hot
Killer legs in that short black dress
Baby, you was born to rock

[Chorus]
I don't mind you fooling me around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messing me up
I tell all my friends
It's a lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love, watch out
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love

[Verse 2]
Should've known better with a girl like you
You're totally misunderstood
I hear them talking in this one horse town
You scandalise the neighborhood
Oh, my family was shocked by your antic views
The colour of your lips and hair
Even my brother who's a God fearin' man
Poor boy had to sit and stare

[Chorus]
I don't mind you fooling me around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messing me up
I tell all my friends
It's a lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love

[Verse 3]
I hear the clicking of your heels on the stairs
You don't talk and I don't ask
What a little difference some eyeliner makes
Tomorrow you'll be back in class
Although my blueprint for happiness depends on you
I'll cook and clean and be your slave
I'll tie you up but I won't tie you down
Baby, I might even shave

[Chorus]
I don't mind you fooling around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messing me up
I tell all my friends
It's a lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love, watch out
Lethal dose of love, watch out
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love, yeah, yeah
Lethal dose of love, yeah, yeah
Lethal dose of love, yeah, yeah
Lethal dose of love, yeah, yeah
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
