Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Verse 2]
Got an urge, got a surge and it's out of control
Got an urge I wanna lose 'cause I'm losing control
Uncontrollable urge, I wanna tell you all about it
Got an uncontrollable urge, it makes me scream and shout it
[Verse 3]
(He's got an uncontrollable urge)
I've got an uncontrollable urge
(He's got an uncontrollable urge)
I've got an uncontrollable
It's got style, it's got class
So strong I can't let it pass
I gotta tell you all about it
I gotta scream and shout it
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Verse 5]
Got an urge, got a surge and it's out of control, now
Got an urge I wanna purge 'cause I'm losing control
Uncontrollable urge, I wanna tell you all about it
Got an uncontrollable urge, it makes me scream and shout it
That's right
[Verse 6]
(He's got an uncontrollable urge)
I've got an uncontrollable urge
(He's got an uncontrollable urge)
I've got an uncontrollable
It's got style, it's got love
So strong I can't let it pass
I gotta tell you all about it
I gotta scream and shout it
[Verse 7]
I got an uncontrollable urge I wanna tell you all about
And uncontrollable urge that makes me scream and shout
[Verse 8]
And I said yeah
