 Struggling with Live Wire? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

It's my birthday, and he forgot again 
Every time we date, he's always late 
All the abuses and excuses, I've made up my mind 
Gonna tell him this time we're through 
But everything I plan to say 
Just seems to fade away 
Every time I see his face 
My eyes light up, sparks start to flyin' 
Like a live wire, real live wire 
Just like a bolt of lightnin', it sets my soul on fire 

Sweet kisses are his alibi 
And that's why, that's where my weakness lies 
Though I plan and rehearse the things I want to say 
The words never never come my way, 'cause
'Cause everything I plan to say 
Just seems to fade away 
Every time I see his face 
My eyes light up, sparks start to flyin' 
Like a live wire 

Like a bolt of lightnin', it sets my soul on fire 
Just like a live wire, real live wire 
A bolt of lightnin', oh yeah, sets my soul on fire 
Like a live wire, real live wire
