Lyrics
Is it all right if I take just a minute of your time?
It won't take all night, I'll be outta your sight
We're not committing a crime
Sixty seconds is all I want it's all I need
A hundred and twenty is better, you're old enough to know
You don't know me, I picked your number from a list
It won't cost you a thing, there's nothing to bring
You're never going to be missed
Forty days is all I want, it's all I need
Seventy years is better, you're old enough to know
Everything I give you
Is something that you want
Everything you take from me
You're wearing back to front
Just don't move, and let me get under your skin
You won't feel any pain, just give me your brain,
You won't feel the knife go in
Part of you is all I want, it's all I need
Just give me an inch and I'll take six feet, you're old enough to go
Everything I give you
Is something that you want
Everything you take from me
You're wearing back to front
Everything I give you
Is something that you want
Everything you take from me
You're wearing back to front
