[Verse 1]
Well, you're just seventeen
All you wanna do is disappear
You know what I mean
There's a lot of space between our ears
The way that you touch don't feel nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
It was the DNA
Hey, hey, hey, hey
That made me this way

Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
Do you know, do you know, do you know
Just how I feel?
[Chorus]
Sheer heart attack
Sheer heart attack
Real cardiac
