Oooh… what a good thing I’ve got.  
Ohhh… it’s such a good thing I’ve got.  
I… don’t think I can stand it –  
Thunder and lightning,  
I tell you it’s frightening.  
It’s thunder and lightning,  
And you’re in control.

I don’t want to lose you, this good thing  
That I got 'cause if I do  
I will surely, surely lose a lot  
'Cause your love is better  
Than any love I know

It’s like thunder, lightning  
The way you love me is frightening  
You better knock, knock on wood, baby  
Ooh, baby, ooh

And there was thunder, thunder over “Thunder Road”  
Thunder was his engine and white lightening was his load  
And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil’s thirst  
The law they swore they’d get him but the devil got him first

Flapping my arms I began to cluck  
Look at me, I’m the disco duck

Pack your grip, takin’ you on a trip  
Ain’t no seats, all we got’s dancin’ feet  
Leave your worries behind

Well, I can tell by your smile what you wanna do  
See in your eyes you got the feeling too  
Come on baby, it’s time to move  
'Cause I’ve got something that’s a stone groove  
I got love, love, I said love, sweet love  
I got love, baby.

I want to hold you close  
Skin pressed against me tight  
Lie still, and close your eyes girl  
So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close  
Soft breasts, beating heart  
As I whisper in your ear  
I want to effing tear you apart

I ache for the touch of your lips, dear  
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear  
You can raise welts  
Like nobody else  
As we dance to the Masochism Tango
