Lately I've been stuck imagining
What I wanna do and what I really think
Time to blow out
Be a little inappropriate
'Cause I know that everybody's thinking it
When the lights out

Shame on me
To need release
Uncontrollably

I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind

Whoa oh oh

I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind

Lately people got me all tied up
There's a countdown waiting for me to erupt
Time to blow out
I've been told who I should do it with
To keep both my hands above the blanket
When the lights out

Shame on me
To need release
Uncontrollably

I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind

I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind

Whoa oh oh
Shame, on me (shame on me)
To need, release (to need, release)
Uncontrollably (uncontrollably lably lably lably)

I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind

I I I wanna go o o all the way ay ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I I I wanna show o o
All the dir ir irt
I got running through my mind

Whoa oh oh
