| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse 1)
She said she came from heaven, on a one-day tour To please the men she meets, and make them beg for more I see her walk my streets a hundred times a night I shouldn’t fantasize, about things I know aren’t right But I know… (Chorus) When your hands are shakin’ And your heart is breakin’ And I don’t know where to turn The rules are breakin’ And your life is changin’ Oh, no (Verse 2) I couldn’t help myself, I told her how I felt She says she’d hold me there, and I knew a greater hell But I know… (Chorus) When your hands are shakin’ And your heart is breakin’ And I don’t know where to turn The rules are breakin’ And your life is changin’ Oh, no When your hands are shakin’ And your heart is breakin’ And I don’t know where to turn The rules are breakin’ And your life is changin’ Oh, no (Bridge) Babe, I’m shakin’ Babe, I’m shakin’ (Chorus) When your hands are shakin’ And your heart is breakin’ And I don’t know where to turn The rules are breakin’ And your life is changin’ Oh, no When your hands are shakin’ And your heart is breakin’ And I don’t know where to turn The rules are breakin’ And your life is changin’ Oh, no When your hands are shakin’ And your heart is breakin’ And I don’t know where to turn The rules are breakin’ And your life is changin’ Oh, no |
