Gwyneth Paltrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been here too long tryin' to get along
Pretending that you're, oh, so shy
I'm a natural man doin' all I can
My temperature is runnin' high

Friday night no one in sight
And we got so much to share
Talkin's fine if you got the time
But I ain't got the time to spare

Do you wanna touch? Yeah

Every girl and boy needs a little joy
All you do is sit and stare
Beggin' on my knees, baby won't you please
Run your fingers through' my hair
