Kid's got something keeps it well hid One of these days I'm gonna shake off the lid Dig beneath the dirt maybe scrape beneath the skin It's getting so bad I think I'd die to get in her Sometimes you just can't get enough I got the feeling that I've been here before I'm on my knees and I'm kissing the floor I got the feeling that I've crashed in a car I got the feeling aw babe you're a star And you understand Sometimes you just can't get enough
