[Verse 1]
I've been on tenterhooks
Ending in dirty looks
Listening to the Muzak
Thinking 'bout this 'n' that
She said that's that
I don't wanna chitter-chat
Turn it down a little bit
Or turn it down flat
[Chorus]
Pump it up when you don't really need it
Pump it up until you can feel it
[Verse 2]
Down in the pleasure center
Hell bent or heaven sent
Listen to the propaganda
Listen to the latest slander
There's nothing underhand
That she wouldn't understand
[Chorus]
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
[Verse 3]
She's been a bad girl
She's like a chemical
Though you try to stop it
She's like a narcotic
You wanna torture her
You wanna talk to her
All the things you bought for her
Putting up your temperature
[Chorus]
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
[Verse 4]
Out in the fashion show
Down in the bargain bin
You put your passion out
Under the pressure pin
Fall into submission
Hit-and-run transmission
No use wishing now for any other sin
[Chorus]
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
