lyrics

Some people say I move to fast
What's the hurry honey?
Don't you want it to last?
Well, I change my mind like I change hats,
and I can't find a lover that can get down with that.

Eccentric. Neurotic. Ain't no narcotic that can fix a girl and make her just the way you like. Well, I wouldn't care too much about it since that's what they call
a woman who fights.
Ooooooooh oooh a woooooooo. oooh a woooh ooooh.

There've been times when I felt free
not a soul pickin' on me.
Her sweet angelic eyes
warm, kind inviting thighs...

And in those days my bed was full
home filled with Rock n' Roll.
Makes a poor girl wonder when
such great luck might strike again.

Ooooooooh oooh a woooooooo. oooh a woooh ooooh.

But these days I must confess
I'd rather please myself than impress.
And when the push would come to shove
I'd shove your theories about love

Down into a fiery pit
where they can warm the hearts of other foolish men.
Ooooooooh oooh a woooooooo. oooh a woooh ooooh.

Ain't no woman born with the powers to please
Only the power to call it just as she sees
If you're looking for the woman of your dreams
she wanders the streets of your eternal sleep.

.........Some people say I move too faaaaast......
