[Verse 1]
I can't say I'm in control of my moods
You light me up like a short fuse
Little girl with somethin' to prove
Must be what I like about you
[Refrain]
La, la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la, ah
La, la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la, ah
[Pre-Chorus]

There's no box big enough to hold them
I try my best at rationalization
But therе's no title for classification
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to scare ya
It's just my hystеria
Didn't mean to do you no harm
Didn't mean to hit you so hard, so hard
[Bridge]

Ah, hysteria
Ah, hysteria
