    She says it helps with the lights out 
    Dm                                C       G
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night. 
    Dm                            C          G

Teach each other to reciprocate.

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves 
    Dm                    F         G           C        G
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox 
Dm         F           G           C        G                   
She swears    I'm just prey to the female,

Well then hook me up and throw me,

Baby cakes, 'cause I like to get hooked.

Think it's time to learn your way. 
         Dm                                             C   G
Picture you and me together in the jungle it would be ok. 

     Dm                F        G                 C      G
I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
