I've been on tenterhooks
Ending in dirty looks
Listening to the muzak

Thinking about this and that
She said, that's that
I don't want to chitter-chat

Turn it down a little bit
Or turn it down flat


Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up

When you don't really need it

Down in the pleasure center

Hell bent or heaven sent
Listen to the propaganda
Listen to the latest slander

There's nothing underhand
She wouldn't understand it


Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up

When you don't really need it

She's been a bad girl

She's like a chemical
Though you try to stop it
She's like a narcotic

You want to torture her
You want to talk to her
All the things you bought for her

Putting up your temperature

Pump it up

Until you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don't really need it


Out in the fashion show
Down in the bargain bin

You put your passion out
Under the pressure pin
Fall into submission

Hit-and-run transmission
No use wishing now for any other sin


Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up

When you don't really need it

Don't really need it

Pump it up
Don't really need it
Pump it up
