Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you said I was the only
With my lemon in your hand
Uh-oh
Exhibition in your habit
Emotions second hand
Uh-oh
I had to pull away to save me
Or maybe next time around
And she said
"Don't you wanna, don't you wanna cook it, cook it?
[Verse 2]
I hadn't planned to
I did not plan to
Try it, fry it
I heard a cry for mercy
In the city of the damned
Uh-oh
Uh-oh
In the pits, you go no lower
The next stop's underground
Hello underground
Your wine and roses ain't quite over
Till fate deals a losin', losin' hand
[Verse 3]
And he said
"I did not mean to, did not mean to fail, fail
You overran it, you overran it
[Verse 4]
Oh yes
[Verse 5]
Do it when you wanna
Do it good
Do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh, when you fake it, mama
You better fake with might
Oh, when you fake it, baby
Fakin' it for your life
[Verse 6]
Do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
Ya, ya
Do it when you wanna
I like have you, baby
But I don't know what to do, yeah
Sometime, baby
There's nothing I could do, yeah
I'm on the balance of a crystal
I'm payin' through the nose
And when they couldn't resist it
I thought you'd go with the flow
And when they stage is empty
Pull down the curtain, baby please
Roll up your show
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna cook it, cook it?
I don't wanna, don't let them fry it
For your life
For your life
