Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Emergency
Emergency, emergency
Emergency
Emergency, emergency
[Verse 2]
I need ten cc's of hot passion
A serious love reaction
Give it to me
'Cause I need your love
[Verse 3]
Woman heal me, feel my heartbeat
Keep this body from a dangerous overheat
Give it to me
'Cause I need your love
Emergency, emergency
[Verse 4]
I need love, I need you
I need a cure, what should I do?
Give it to me, urgent
Your love, emergency
[Verse 5]
Suddenly, I'm growin' so strong with every touch
Baby, of your electric body
You rescued me from the fire of heartbreak
And you're just what I should take
[Verse 6]
Thank you, girl, for my survival
And a love so strong
You feel so good, this is much more than physical
Innocent, it's, oh, so beautiful
[Verse 7]
The good I need, deep in my system
Love your cool, it's so addicting
Give it to me, urgent
'Cause I need your love
Emergency, emergency
[Verse 8]
Sweet sensations passing through us
As we're makin' love
Give it to me, urgent
I need your love, baby
Emergency, emergency
[Verse 9]
Ah, you energize me, standing beside me
Love and affection, a kiss and attention
Give it to me (Emergency)
Emergency, emergency
[Verse 10]
Suddenly, I'm growin' so strong with every touch
Baby, of your electric body
You rescued me from the fire of heartbreak
And you're just what I should take
[Verse 11]
Thank you, girl, for my survival
And a love so strong
You feel so good, this is much more than physical
Innocent, it's, oh, so beautiful
[Verse 12]
Emergency, urgent
Emergency, emergency
Give it to me (Emergency, urgent)
Emergency, emergency
[Verse 13]
Emergency, urgent
Emergency, emergency
Give it to me (Emergency, urgent)
I need your love, baby (Emergency, emergency)
[Verse 14]
Emergency, urgent
Emergency, emergency
Give it to me (Emergency, urgent)
'Cause I need you r love (Emergency, emergency)
[Verse 15]
Emergency, urgent
Emergency, emergency
Give it to me (Emergency, urgent)
I need your love, baby (Emergency, emergency)
[Verse 16]
Emergency, urgent
Emergency, emergency
Give it to me (Emergency, urgent)
Emergency, emergency
[Verse 17]
Emergency, urgent
Emergency, emergency
Give it to me (Emergency, urgent)
Emergency, emergency
