“Tear the Top Right Off My Head”
Lyrics Permalink
Walkin’ down a lonely street
I need someone to meet
I run across sweet-lookin’ you
Do you know what you do?
Oh, you tear the top right off my head
You blow my mind
Yeah, I’m going blind
Freaking out in the afternoon
Lookin’ at a daytime moon
You talk to me, I talk to you
Do you know what you do?
Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
You blow my mind
I’m going blind
[break]
“Pick this once!”
Sittin’ by a firelight
Coffee cups for two
Touch my lips with your fingertips
Do you know what you do?
Yeah, you tear the top right off my head
You blow my mind
Yeah, I’m going blind
