Everytime I call you think got me a freaking doll
But I'm not your freaking doll,
And my heart goes boom.
Everytime we meet down the street

You got me insane in da brain
And tonight I'm gonna lose control
And my heart goes boom.
You got me insane in da brain
And tonight I'm gonna lose control
And my heart goes boom.

You got me insane again and again and again
Get out of my way ‘cause you got me insane
In da brain and tonight I'm gonna lose control
Gonna lose control ‘cause you got me insane
