Lyrics

I've been tenterhooks ending in dirty looks
Listen to the music, thinking 'bout this and that
She said, "That's that, I don't wanna chitter-chat"
Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat
Pump it up
When you don't really need it
Pump it up
When you do, you can feel it
Down in the pressure center, hellbent or heaven-sent
Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest scandal
Diss off an underhand, but she wouldn't understand
Pump it up
When you do, you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don't really need it
Ow!
Oh yeah
When you don't
When you don't, don't
Don't really need it
Ow!
She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical
All you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic
You wanna talk to her, you wanna talk to her
All the things you bought for her wouldn't get her temperature
Pump it up
When you do, you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don't really need it
No!
Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bins
You put your fashion on under the pressure pin
Fall into submission, hit and run transmission
No use wishing that for any of the sin
Pump it up
When you do, you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don't really need it
Oh no, no
Pump it up
When you do, you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don't really need it
Oh no!
Don't really need it
Don't really need it
Don't really need it
Don't really need it
Don't really need it
Don't really need it
