I've been on tenterhooks, ending in dirty looks
List'ning to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that She said "That's that, I don't wanna chitter-chat" Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat [Chorus]

Pump it up!
When you don't really need it Pump it up! Until you can feel it [Instrumental] B B B A# A x4 [Verse]
B7
Down in the pleasure centre, hell-bent or heaven-sent
Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand [Chorus]

She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical
Though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic You wanna torture her, you wanna talk to her All the things you bought for her, putting up your temperature [Chorus]
E7
Pump it up!
until you can feel it Pump it up! when you don't really need it [Interlude] B B B A# A x4 [Verse]

Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin
You put your passion out under the pressure pin
B7
Fall into submission, hit-and-run transmission
No use wishing now for any other sin [Chorus]

Pump it up!
Until you can feel it Pump it up! When you don't really need it [Interlude] B B B A# A x4 [Chorus]
