Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Contact
Contact
[Verse 2]
You've been avoiding me
Like a cat trying to dodge a dog
I never see ya shine
You're as cold as the London fog
You claim you want my love
I wouldn't know by the way you behave
If you want to feel the thrill of my touch
You better come out of your cave
[Verse 3]
It's so perplexing
Why you fight it, won't you try it?
Love's electric
Turn me on and see
[Verse 4]
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you want to do it right
Here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you want to play the game
So grab my hand, SLAM!
[Verse 5]
I hate to sound aggressive
But I'm tired of waiting for your move
Cut the formalities
'Cause you've got a few things to prove
If you really want my love
I need to feel it down deep from within
Don't make me wait too long
I'm ready now, come and stroke my skin
[Verse 6]
Well, all this talking
Worthless chatter just don't matter
Time for stalkin'
Come get next to me
[Verse 7]
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you want to do it right
Here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you want to play the game
So grab my hand, SLAM!
[Verse 8]
Hey, boy
Why dontcha come on over?
So we can make that contact
Contact you dare
[Verse 9]
It's so perplexing
Why you fight it, won't you try it?
Love's electric
Come get next to me
[Verse 10]
(Contact)
[Verse 11]
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you want to do it right
Here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you want to play the game
So grab my hand
[Verse 12]
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you want to do it right
Here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you want to play the game
(Oh, boy)
[Verse 13]
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you want to do it right
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you want to play the game
