"Lust" lyrics - RICK SPRINGFIELD

RICK SPRINGFIELD
"Lust"
(Springfield)

Lust shows her pretty face
And cupid hits his mark
And I have no time to say
I'm not ready for this
Insipid smile on my face
And a dumb remark

I trip, slip, slide over the precipice
I got the right map baby
But the wrong direction
Staring at the TV set
Trying to right this wrong
I didn't cast my vote
It was a fixed election
Somebody tripped the switch
And the light came on

Now I can't make it stop
I can't make it stop
I can't make it stop

It's true and I can't explain
Just what makes her so different

I should feel wonderful
But I don't feel wonderful
And I don't want to carry this weight myself
You tell me I look bad
Hey what do you mean by that
'Cause I am addicted and I can't help myself

My wing and a prayer nose dive into the street
And they hang the 'disturbed' sign outside my door
I twist my fingers
I shuffle my feet
My friend Dr. Robert said there is no cure
I got the right rat baby
But the wrong dissection
I'm staring at the TV set
Trying to write this song
I didn't seek this mountain or this insurrection
I just entered somewhere beautiful I don't belong

I can't make it stop
No I can't make it stop
I can't make it stop

It's true and I can't explain
Just what makes her so different

I should feel wonderful
But I don't feel wonderful
And I don't want to carry this weight myself
You tell me I look bad
Hey what do you mean by that
'Cause I am addicted and I can't help myself

I don't want this
Fucked up pearl
I cannot take this
She, she must be the one

It's true and I can't explain
Just what makes her so different

I should feel wonderful

I should feel wonderful
But I don't feel wonderful
And I don't want to carry this weight myself
You tell me I look bad
Hey what do you mean by that
'Cause I am addicted and I can't help myself
