[Intro]
Somebody help me
I think I—
[Chorus]
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
[Verse 1]
You looking for someone to save?
Bring back from beyond the grave?
Uh, then it's a no-brainer
Baby boy, you could be my first aid trainer
'Cause you know you're a special kind of heartthrob
The kind to make all the boys heart stop
So if you find me dead on the dancefloor
Well, maybe, boy, you could be my last resort
Uh, this is what I'm asking for
Kill me, then revive my corpse
I don't need no life support
Boy like you got me good to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's put this to the test
Push down on my chest
Let's indulge that saviour complex
Let's put this to the test
Push down on my chest
Let's indulge that saviour complex
[Chorus]
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
[Post-Chorus]
I need CPR
Press down hard
I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
[Verse 2]
It's not a complex, no contest
Put your hands on my chest, make it convex
Make my eyes roll back like I'm possessed
All hands on deck if my name's Dec
This the shit they don't teach you in the NHS
But once they see you get on top
They're gonna see you do it better, yes
Beat my heart like a drum, yes, yes
Bang so hard, it's a bomb, yes, yes
Keep on like this and you're gonna get
First place in samaritan contest, yes
Oh, so go on, pick me up in your Honda
You could be my first responder
With that technique, it's no wonder
I'm gonna listen to Doctor
[Bridge]
So tell me, is that what you want from me?
You like me on the floor so that you can be the good guy
You get to be the good guy, you get to be the good guy
Tonight, tonight, I say alright
[Chorus]
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
Uh, I need CPR
On my chest, press down hard
[Post-Chorus]
I need CPR
Press down hard
I need CPR
I need CPR
