[Intro]

Ein, zwei, drei, vier


[Verse 1]

Gonna show you what I'm all about

I'm gonna make your toenails curl

Gonna show you

How to make me smile

I'm really into long-legged girls


[Chorus 1]

I was talking to you all night long

Every line was a favourite song

Gonna show you

How to make me laugh

I'm gonna tear ya down


[Verse 2]

Gonna show you what I'm all about

I'm gonna shoot you down tonight

I don't really wanna freak you out

But I'm gonna make you feel alright


[Chorus 2]

I was talking to you all night through

And I knew you was rolling me too

Gonna shake you till your lips turn blue

I'm gonna tear ya down


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Gonna show you how to strut your stuff

I'm gonna make your dreams come true

Gonna show you

How to change your luck

I'm really gonna do it to you


[Chorus 3]

I was talking to you hours and hours

I promised you hearts and flowers

I'll give you supernatural powers

I'm gonna tear ya down
