Is it so hard to satisfy your senses? You found out to love me you have to climb some fences Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you And just when it feels right you say you found someone to hold you Does she like I do Baby tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you Like the way I do Like the way I do Can I survive all the implications Even if I tried could you be less than an addiction Don't you think I know there's so many others Who would beg steal and lie, fight, kill and die Just to hold you, hold you like I do Baby tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you Like the way I do Oh, nobody loves you, like the way I do Nobody wants you, like the way I do Nobody needs you, like the way I do Nobody aches, nobody aches just to hold you Like the way I do No, no, no Tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you, existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Oh, tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you, baby Like the way I do No, like the way I do Oh, ho, yeah
