Lyrics Live Wire - Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples

Live Wire

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
Go on girl, do your own self thang, meet Sheryl
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
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
Haha, back up, y’all crazy
