Desperate Measures
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.
Gonna make a heart-throb out of me
Just a bit of minor surgery
These desperate times call for desperate measures
I'll give you something to cry about
Show some skin, and would be cache
How could you let this get to desperate measures now?
For a first effort this
Feels kinda last ditch
I guess this just
Got kinda drastic
Trust us you just fell off the bus, baby
I can't let this, I can't let this, I can't let this go
(Oh ooh oh oh oh oh ouh ouh)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
(Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
When I got you right where I want you
I been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now (desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this
Have a piece of american dream
Open up, and swallow, on your knees
And say: thank you
I'd like some desperate measures, please
For a first effort this
Feels kinda last ditch
I guess this just
Got kinda drastic
Trust us, you just fell off the bus, suckers
Yeah, well, payback is a mother fucker
(Oh ooh oh oh oh oh ouh ouh)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
(Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
When I got you right where I want you
I been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now (desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
Forever, for worse, or better
My poor heart will only surrender
Go forever, for worse, or better
My poor heart will only surrender, now
(Oh ooh oh oh oh oh ouh ouh)
(Desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
When I got you right where I want you
I been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now (desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
(Oh ooh oh oh oh oh ouh ouh)
When I got you right where I want you
I been pushing for this for so long
Kiss me, just once, for luck
These are desperate measures now (desperate measures now)
I can't let this, I can't let this go
