Sheryl Crow - Live Wire Lyrics

Sheryl Crow Lyrics

"Live Wire"
(feat. Bonnie Raitt & Mavis Staples)

[Sheryl Crow (Bonnie Raitt) {Mavis Staples}:]
Well, I got me a lover as stubborn as a weed
But he met his match on the day he met me
(Even when I paddle my boat upshore)
Well, the river keep on floating me right back to your door
{No telling when the lightning strike}
{The way you make me feel, I gotta hold on tight}

I got a live wire
I got a live wire {Live wire, yeah}
(Some people just built that way)
(Never looking back at the mess they made)
Live wire
I got a live wire {Live wire}
Never knowin' what the cat'll drag in
But this birds gettin' out of his cage again
Got a live wire
I got a live wire

{Well, I got me a joint in the middle of town}
{Stay up all night when my friends come around}
You know it's all gonna change when the screen door slams
There comes a wild wind blowin' you back into my hands
{Next thing you know, you hair is standin' on end}
{Circus starts to blow me off my feet again}

I got a live wire
I got a live wire {Mm-mm}
(Some people just built that way)
(Never looking back at the mess they made)
Live wire
I got a live wire {Live wire}
Never knowin' what the cat'll drag in
But this birds gettin' out of his cage again
Got a live wire
I got a live wire

[Mavis Staples:]
Go on girl, do your own self thang, meet Sheryl

[Sheryl Crow (Mavis Staples):]
My love for you is a hurricane
(Come crashin' on me like a runaway train)
My love for you is a house on fire
(Well, I'm burnin' up with a strange desire)

[Sheryl Crow (Bonnie Raitt) {Mavis Staples}:]
I got a live wire
I got a live wire {Mm-mm}
(Some people just built that way)
(Never looking back at the mess they made)
I got a live wire {I got a live wire, yeah}
I got a live wire {I got a live wire}
Never knowin' what the cat'll drag in {Never knowin'}
But this birds gettin' out of his cage again
Got a live wire {Live wire}
I got a live wire {I got a, I got a live}
(Some people just built that way)
(Never looking back at the mess they made)
I got a live wire {I got a live wire, yeah}
I got a live wire {Live, ah-woo}

Sing it ladies
{Live wire, took you so long}
That's right
Talkin' 'bout a live
Got a live wire
Yeah
Live wire
Got a live wire
I got a live wire
Go Mavis
Set your soul on fire, yes it will
Ha-ha, back up, y'all crazy
