Uncontrollable Urge Lyrics
[Refrain]
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 1]
Got an urge, got a surge, and it's out of control
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
[Chorus]
(He's got an uncontrollable urge!)
I've got an uncontrollable urge!
(He's got an uncontrollable urge!)
I've got an uncontrollable—
[Post-Chorus]
(Nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine)
It's got style! It's got class!
(Nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine)
So strong, I can't let it pass!
(Nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine)
I got to tell you all about it!
I got to scream and shout it!
[Refrain]
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 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!
[Chorus]
(He's got an uncontrollable urge!)
I've got an uncontrollable urge!
(He's got an uncontrollable urge!)
I've got an uncontrollable—
[Post-Chorus]
(Nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine)
It's got style! It's got class!

So strong, I can't let it pass!
(Nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine)
I got to tell you all about it!
I got to scream and shout it!
[Bridge]
I've got an uncontrollable urge, I wanna tell you all about it!
An uncontrollable urge, it makes me scream and shout it
And I said, "Yah!" (He said, “Yah!")
And I said "Yeah!" (He said, “Yeah!")
And I said, "Yah!" (Yah!)
And I said, "Yeah!" (Yeah!)
