Lyrics   status: confirmed

Look into my eyes, don't you trust me?
You're so good, you could go far
I'll put you in a movie, don't you wanna?
You could be a star, you could go far
You've got twistability
You fly hard, don't you wanna?
You've got kissability
You could be a star, it ain't hard

You're driving me crazy
You smell so sick
You're driving me crazy
Give us a kiss

Look into my eyes, don't you trust me?
You're so soft, you make me hard
I'll put you in a movie, don't you wanna?
You could be a star, you could go far
You've got kissability
You sigh hard, don't you wanna?
You've got twistability
You could be a star, it ain't hard

You drive me crazy
Smell so sick
I feel so tired
You make me sick
You're driving me crazy
I feel so sick
You're driving me crazy
Give us a kiss

Look into my eyes, don't you diss me
You're so good, you could go far
I'll put you in a movie, don't you wanna?
You could be a star, you could go far
You've got twistability
You fly hard, don't you wanna?
You've got kissability
You could be a star, it ain't hard

You're drivin' me crazy
Smell so sick
You're drivin' me crazy
Give us a kiss

NOTES:

  • After over a decade of non-performance, this song was resurrected for the 2002 Murray Street tour, the third in a series of old songs reformatted for Kim to sing free of an instrument (the others being Kool Thing & Drunken Butterfly, all of which Jim takes over bass duties on) and dance to her heart's content (on Kissability she also threw some tambourine action into the mix).

ALTERNATE VERSIONS:

  • On "Daydream Nation" deluxe disc - LIVE - 4:38

    Recorded "live" with no audience, 08/88 in NYC. This also appears on Mix Tape #6. Portions of this performance appear in "Put Blood in the Music" documentary.
