Lazy lightnin' sleepy fire in your eyes it's like desire in disguise
I keep on tryin' but I, I can't get through
Lazy lightnin' I'd like to find the proper potion
That's gonna capture your emotion
You're right beside me but I, I can't get through
You're a loop of lazy lightnin', just a loop of lazy lightnin'
Must admit you're kinda frightnin' but you really get me high
So exciting, when I hear your velvet thunder,
You seem so near I start to wonder
Would you come closer if, if I asked you to?
So inviting, the way you're messing with my reason
It's an exception but it's pleasing
Tell me a lie and I will swear, I'll swear it's true.
You're a loop of lazy lightnin' (Lazy lightnin')
Just a loop of lazy lightnin' (Lazy lightnin')
Must admit you're kinda frightening
Just a loop of lazy lightnin'
Put the fire in my eyes (Lightnin') Put the fire every time (Lightnin')
Put the fire in my heart (Lightnin') Well come on lazy lightning.
Just a loop of lazy lightning
Misty lightning, well you always electrify me
Someday I know you'll satisfy me
And all that lightnin' will be my lightnin' too.
My lightnin' too. (My lightnin' too)
Just a loop of lazy lightnin' (My lightnin' too)
My lightnin' too. (My lightnin' too)
Just a loop of lazy lightnin' (My lightnin' too)
My lightnin' too. (My lightnin' too)
Oh come on lazy lightnin' (My lightnin' too)
