You said you're having strange dreams Are they good or bad or both? Got a head full, blurry thoughts, babe You livin' with a ghost In a big house in the country Too much space and you feel trapped Thoughts go bouncing off the walls Got no one there to watch your back Should we start lovin', give this a try? You got baggage, but so do I You got baggage, but so do I Let's give it a try B-A-G-G-A-G-E Get off my back, you're killin' me Get off my back Get off my back Get off my back I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free This love is like a business It could drive us both insane Blind emotion leads to commotion But part of me likes that game Part of me wants the chaos And part of me walks alone What am I doing, who am I foolin' It's a life spent on your own Should we start lovin', give this a try? You got baggage, but so do I You got baggage, but so do I Let's give it a try B-A-G-G-A-G-E Get off my back, you're killin' me Get off my back Get off my back Get off my back I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I've spent my whole life running I've spent my whole life running from myself I've spent my whole life running I've spent my whole life running from myself B-A-G-G-A-G-E Get off my back, you're killin' me Get off my back Get off my back Get off my back I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free

Cherish the moment Feel inside We sit in the same room Side by side I give you the wrong lines Feed you Accuracy, accuracy Look into my eyes We both smile I could kill you Without trying That's accuracy Accuracy Accuracy An observant prefers accuracy, accuracy Practice all day for accuracy Mirror mirror on the wall...

You know you turn me on Eyes so wide and legs so long But don't try to talk to me I won't listen to your lies You're just an object in my eyes You're just an object in my eyes Sophisticated smile You seduce in such fine style But don't try to fool me Because I can see through your disguise You're just an object in my eyes You're just an object in my eyes But I don't mind Just don't care I've got no objection To you touching me Object, object Object, object Object, object Object, object You know just what to do Lick your lips and I want you But don't try to hold me Because I don't want any ties You're just an object in my eyes You're just an object in my eyes But I don't mind Now, I just don't care I've got no objections To you touching me You're just an object, object You're just an object, object You're just an object, object You're just an object, object Object, object Object, object You're just an object, object You're just an object

I never felt like this with anyone before You only have to smile and I'm dizzy You make the world go round A thousand times an hour Just touch my head And send me spinning I never felt like this with anyone before You show me colours and I'm crying You hold my eyes in yours And open up the world I can't believe all of this Can't believe all this I want to keep this feeling Deep inside of me I want you always in my heart You are everything You are everything I never felt like this with anyone before You fill my head full of rainbows And all the rainbows end Is every step you take Just to be with you forever I want to keep this feeling Deep inside of me I want you always in my heart You are everything You are everything (You are everything)
