Listen - trapped again
Love on a lead is what you need
Love on a leash is what you wish
Love on a tightrope is what you get
Love on a steep slope you ain't seen nothin' yet
When you smile that wide wild smile
That tiger smile, I'm trapped again
Be my dog be my pet
Like a nervous tic you just won't quit
Like a nervous tic you just won't quit
You don't need a doctor you need a vet
And when you laugh your crazy laugh
That wild cat laugh, I'm trapped again
Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope
Our love's on a steep slope
Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope
No don't give up hope
Cos when you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Don't give up hope, our love's on a tightrope
Like a tiger cat you're where it's at
Like a crocodile along the Nile
So strange and wild, some kind of reptile
Love on a lead is what you need
And when you smile that wide wild smile
That tiger smile, I'm trapped again, trapped again
They say never bite the hand that feeds
Just one look and my heart bleeds
Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope
You know our love's on a steep slope
Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope
Don't give up hope
Cos when you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Don't give up hope, our love's on a tightrope
Animal eyes - like a real good time
Animal lips - it's a perfect crime
Animal hair - it just ain't fair
Like an animal (aooo aooo)
Like an animal...
