You know you got me all mixed up
How'd it ever get this way
Don't know why, but i just can't stop
I know i can, but not today
Ain't quite ready for the ultimate defeat
Feel the pressure, i can feel the heat
I'm a dead man, if you don't come thru
I'm a dead man, if i can't have you
I'm a dead man
What am i gonna, what am i gona do
You'll be my saving grace
And the death of me too
Another sleepless night
Are you gonna let me down?
I'm getting mighty tired of waiting
You're giving me the run around
Always hangin out on a limb
Now or never, it's sink or swim
I'm a dead man, if you don't come thru
I'm a dead man, if i can't have you
I'm a dead man
What am i gonna, what am i gonna do
You'll be my saving grace
And the death of me too
Don't know how you got under my skin
Fatal attraction i can't shake
Ain't no doubt about it just can't live without you
How'd you get to be a habit i can't break
Always hangin out on a limb
Now or never, it's sink or swim
I'm a dead man, if you don't come thru
I'm a dead man, if i can't have you
I'm a dead man
What am i gonna, what am i gona do
You'll be my saving grace
And the death of me too
