Live wire, ooh
Live wire, ooh
Live wire, ooh
Live wire, ooh

[Verse 1]
It's my birthday and he forgot again
Every time we date
He's always late
Tired of abuses and excuses
I've made up my mind
Gonna tell him this time
We're through, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
But everything I plan to say, 
Just seems to fade away
Every time I see his face, 
My eyes light up, sparks start to flying

[Chorus]
'Cause he's a live wire
A real live wire
He's like a bolt of lightning
That sets my soul afire
[Verse 2]
Sweet kisses are his alibi
And that's, that's where
That's where my weakness lies
Though I plan and rehearse
The things I want to say
The words never, never come my way

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everything I plan to say
Just seems to fade away
Every time I see his face, 
My eyes light up, sparks start to flying

'Cause he's a live wire

[Chorus Reprise]
He's like a bolt of lightning
That sets my soul afire
He's like a live wire, 
A real live wire

A bolt of lightning
My eyes light up, yeah
He sets my soul afire
He's like a live wire, 
A real live wire
A bolt of lightning – yeah, a live wire
My eyes light up, yeahh
My eyes light up
