[Verse]

I've been on t

enterhooks, en

ding 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]
        x4

[Verse]

Down in the pl

easure 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]

Pump it up!
Until you can feel it
Pump it up!
When you don't really need it

        
then land on E


7
Hang on with the drum beat 4 measures

[Interlude]
        x4

[Verse]

She's been a b

ad girl, she's

 like a chemic

al
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]

Pump it up!
until you can feel it
Pump it up!
when you don't really need it

[Interlude]
        x4

[Verse]

Out in the fas

hion show, dow

n in the barga

in bin
You put your passion out under the pressure pin

Fall into subm

ission, hit-an

d-run transmis

sion
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]
        x4

[Chorus]

Pump it up!
Until you can feel it
Pump it up!
When you don't really need it

[Interlude]
        x4

[Chorus]

Pump it up!
Until you can feel it
Pump it up!
When you don't really need it

[Outro]
        
Don't really n


eed it! Don't 

really need it

!

        
Don't really n


eed it!
