Elvis Costello - Pump It Up lyrics

[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 Hey! [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 pa**ion 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 Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Don't really need it Don't really need it Don't really need it
