You�ll never make me stay, so take your weight offa me.
I know your every move, so won�t you jus� let me be.
I've been here times before, but I was too blind t�see,
That you se-duce every man. This time you won't se-duce me.
She�s sayin�, �That�s ok. Hey baby do what you please.
I have the stuff that you want, I am the thing that you need.�
She looked me deep in the eyes, she�s touchin� me so to start.
She says �There�s no turnin� back.� she trapped me in �er heart.

She likes the boys in the band, she knows when they come to town.
Every musician�s fan after the curtain comes down.
She waits at backstage doors for those who have prestige,
Who promise fortune and fame, a life that's so carefree.
She�s sayin�, �That�s ok. Hey baby do what you want.
I�ll be your night lovin� thang. I�ll be the freak you can taunt.
An� I don't care what you say, I wanna go too far.
I�ll be your everything if you make me a star.�

She said, �I hafta go home �cause I�m real tired, you see.
But I hate sleepin� alone, why don't you come with me?�
I said, �My baby�s at home, she's prob�ly worried tonight.
I didn� call on the phone to say that I�m alright.�
Diana walked up to me, she said, �I�m all yours tonight.�
At that I ran to the phone sayin�, �Baby I�m alright.�
I said, �But unlock the door, �cause I forgot the key.�
She said �He�s not comin� back, because he�s sleepin� with me.�
