It’s so easy to fall in love  
It’s so easy to fall in love  
People tell me love’s for fools  
Here I go, breaking all the rules

Wise men say  
Only fools rush in  
But I can’t help  
Falling in love with you

Falling in Love with Love is falling for make-believe!  
Falling in Love with Love is playing the fool!  
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy!  
Learning to trust is just for children in school.

A strange kind of love  
A strange kind of feeling  
Swims through your eyes  
And like the doors to a wide vast dominion  
They open to your prize

This is no terror ground or place for the rage  
No broken hearts, whitewashed lies  
Just a taste for the truth  
Perfect taste choice and meaning  
A look into your eyes

Strange brew - killin’ what’s inside of you

She’s a witch of trouble in electric blue  
In her own mad mind she’s in love with you  
With you  
Now what you gonna do?  
Strange brew - killin’ what’s inside of you

Double, double toil and trouble;  
Fire burn and caldron bubble.  
Fillet of a fenny snake,  
In the caldron boil and bake;  
Eye of newt and toe of frog,  
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,  
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,  
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,  
For a charm of powerful trouble,  
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.  
Double, double toil and trouble;  
Fire burn and caldron bubble.  
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,  
Then the charm is firm and good.

And The Witch is coming for you, yeah

Hey, what you want  
Baby, I got it  
What you need  
Do you know I got it?  
All I’m askin’  
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)  
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home  
(Just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)

Maybe it’s time to stop swimming  
Maybe it’s time to find out where I’m at  
What I should do and where I should be  
But no one will give me a map

Sitting here all alone  
Just trying to decide  
Whether to go all alone  
Or stay by your side  
Then I stop myself because  
I know I could cry  
I just can’t find the answers to the questions  
That keep going through my mind  
Hey, babe, isn’t it time?

Isn’t it time? it took time to wait  
Falling in love could be your mistake  
Isn’t it time?  
Isn’t it time? you took time to wait  
Falling in love could be your mistake

It’s a long day living in Reseda  
There’s a freeway running through the yard  
And I’m a bad boy 'cause I don’t even miss her  
I’m a bad boy for breaking her heart

And I’m free, free fallin’  
Yeah I’m free, free fallin’

One thousand names that spring up in my mind  
Like Deodata, Michaelangelo, Robert de Niro  
So many others: Nastassja Kinski and Martin Luther  
There’s room for others, away from me

Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk

I can be  
Who I wanna be and sexy  
I can be  
Who I wanna be and hot  
Don’t like who you are  
Then hit that costume shop  
Rock a new and different sexy look  
Woah-oh  
Woah-oh-oh  
Why be so downhearted  
Blast some trashy pop  
And drop it to this hot and sexy hook

Well she’s sexy and seventeen  
My little rock-roll queen  
Acts a little bit obscene  
Gotta let off a little steam  
Dig that sound and shake it around you’re mine, mine, mine.
