Pump Up The Volume
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We'd taken our clothes off, in the rewarder
And you're leavin' your shoes to make you look taller
And I can't say I'm not enjoying the kissing
But I've a sneaking suspicion that you're not really listening
I know I shouldn't
Is it so wrong
To break from your kiss
To turn up a pop song
I know I shouldn't
And it's possibly wrong
To break from your kiss
To turn up a pop song
I'm taking it slowly
I've been reading the signs
I found my hand in a place
Where I can't tell if she minds
Rolling around amongst our clothes on the floor
I can't help it:
"Have you heard this song before?"
I know I shouldn't
Is it so wrong
To break from your kiss
To turn up a pop song
I know I shouldn't
And it's possibly wrong
To break from your kiss
To turn up a pop song
Then something angry muttered,
Between two people, red and flustered
We'd just kissed and that's about it
It may as well have been radio static
I know I shouldn't
Is it so wrong
To break from your kiss
To turn up a pop song
I know I shouldn't
And it's possibly wrong
To break from your kiss
To turn up a pop song
