Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, girl, what you?re doin!
Hey, girl, you?ll drive me to ruin
I don?t know what it is that I like about you
But I like it a lot
Won?t let me hold you
Let me feel your lovin? touch

communication breakdown
It?s always the same
I?m having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane!

Hey girl, I got something I think you want to know
Hey girl, I wanna tell you that I love you so
I wanna hold you in my arms, and feel the love tonight
Im never gonna let you go
cause I like your charms

communication breakdown
Its always the same
Im having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane!
