Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well. I got me a lover as stubborn as a weed

But he net his match on the day he met me

Even when I paddle my boat up shore

Well, the river keep on floatin' me right back to your door

[Verse 2]

No tellin' when the lightnin' strike

The way you make me feel, I gotta hold on tight

[Verse 3]

I got a live wire

I got a live wire (Live wire, yeah)

Some people just built that way

Never lookin' back at the mess they make

Live wire

I got a live wire (Live wire)

You never know what the cat'll drag in

This bird's gettin' out of it's cage again

Got a live wire

I've got a live wire

[Verse 4]

Well, I got me a joint in the middle of town

Stay up all night when my friends come around

You know it's all gonna change when the screen door slams

There comes a wild wind blowin' you back into my hands

[Verse 5]

Next thing you know, your hair is standin' on end

Circuit starts to blow me off my feet again

[Verse 6]

I got a live wire

I got a live wire (Ooh)

Some people just built that way

Never lookin' back at the mess they make

I got a live wire (Live, live wire)

I got a live wire (Live wire)

Never knowin' what the cat'll drag in

But this bid's gettin' out of it's cage again

Got a live wire (Ooh)

I got a live wire

[Verse 7]

Lonely girl, do your own self thang, Michelle

[Verse 8]

My love for you is a hurricane

Come crashin' on me like a runaway train

My love for you is a house on fire

Well, I'm burnin' up with a strange desire

[Verse 9]

Oh, I got a live wire

I got a live wire

Some people just built that way

Never lookin' back at the mess they make

I got a live wire (I've got a live wire, yeah)

I got a live wire (I've got a wire gone wild)

You never know (Never know) what the cat'll drag in

But this bid's gettin' out of it's cage again

I got a live wire (Live wire, hey)

I got a live wire (I got a, I got a live wire, yeah)

Some people just built that way

Never lookin' back at the mess they make

I got a live wire (Live wire)

I got a live wire

[Verse 10]

Sing it, ladies

Live wire (What took you so long)

Live wire

Talkin' 'bout a live

I got a live wire

I got a live wire (Yeah)

Live wire (I got a live, a live wire)

Got a live (Sing it for me)

I got a live

I got a live

Got a live wire

I got a live

Got a live wire (Go, Mavis)

Set your soul on fire, yes it will
