Elvis Costello
Pump It Up
[Verse 1]
I've been on tender-hooks, ending in a dirty look
Listening to the muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that
She says 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

[Bridge]
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, could not get her 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 the 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
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
When you don't really need it
When you don't really need it
You don't really need it
