Don't stop shaking it's my head
That makes me want to second guess at a distance.
Hoping there's a method to your madness, baby,
I might just understand if you obey me.

Walking down tree-lined place so pensive in the country,
I can't take the voodoo that you do.
Just lust easier sussed real love makes me untrue.
It's hard to make a stew when the meat keeps looking up at you.

[Chorus]

    G5       C5           G5       D5

E|--3-3--x--/8--8--8---x--3-3--x--/10-10-10----|    

So, hold me now, I need assistance.
Follow down the path of least resistance.
Hold me now, don't keep your distance.
I'd take somebody else if I could.
