Lyrics

 Hey babe, don't act so scared
 All I want is some special care
 I'm on the run from some institution
 All I want's a little consolation
 
     And I can tell by your face
     I'm a total disgrace
     Let me inside your place
     Move over for a damage case
 
 Hey babe, wait a minute stop
 Don't run away don't call the cops
 I ain't looking to victimize you
 All I want to do is tantalize you
 
     And I can tell by your face
     I'm all over the place
     I can tell by your face
     Got no time for a damage case
 
 Hey babe, don't turn away
 I'm here tomorrow I'm gone today
 I don't know what you think your game is
 I don't care what your name is
 
     And I can tell by your face
     You're all over the place
     I can tell by your face
     Move over for a damage case
