Lyrics

[Intro]

Ha

[Verse 1]

I don't care, ha, about your past

I just want, ha, our love to last, uh

I don't care, darlin', about your faults, ha-huh

I just want to satisfy your pulse

Oh

[Chorus]

When you kiss me

When you miss me

Hold my hand

Make me understand

I break out

In a cold sweat

Ho, uh

Oh

[Verse 2]

I don't care, about your wants

I just wanna, ha, tell ya 'bout the do's and don'ts

I don't care about the way you treat me, darlin', ha

I just want, ha, to understand me, honey

Oh

[Chorus]

When you kiss me, no

And you miss me

You hold me tight

Make everything all right

I break out

In a cold sweat, ha
