Stranglehold (3:35)
Can I get you to give me a minute of your time?
Can I get you to slip me the answer?
Can I get you to slow me a little of your mime?
You were always a very good dancer.
I'd be happy to show you a bit of what I found,
I'd be happy to share in its beauty.
I'd be happy to lay low inevitably bound,
I would only be doing my duty.
I wait,
I wait,
I can wait.
I can wait back in the bar,
I can wait, I can wait,
I can wait back in the car,
I'll be waiting for you.
Stranglehold, you know you've got one on me,
I don't wanna go without you.
Stranglehold, you've got me where you want me,
But I wanna know more about you,
I wanna know more about you.
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo.
Are you willing to wager a little of your life?
Are you willing to take such a gamble?
Are you ready to walk on the edge of the knife?
Then I think we can skip the preamble.
I wait,
I wait,
I can wait, I can wait.
I can wait back in the bar,
I can wait, I can wait,
I can wait back in the car,
I'll be waiting for you.
I'll be waiting...
Stranglehold, you know, you've got one on me,
I don't wanna go without you.
Stranglehold, you've got me where you want me,
And I wanna know more about you,
I wanna know more about you.
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo.
I can wait,
I can wait back in the bar,
I can wait, I can wait,
I can wait back in the car.
I'll be waiting for you.
