And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten feet tall

Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip

Lookin' for a hoot

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Oh baby, shot for tryin'
Oh little rhinestone target

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Get shot for tryin' Shot for tryin'
There's just one thing
That I'm trying to say
Sometimes you got to get away some place
And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten feet tall
Oh, Boy girl that's just all
Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby shot for tryin'
If all you wanna do is save your face
And what you gonna do after this place
I'm screamin' help help help
Full of grace, now what I say
Little rhinestone target

Don't you know the boots

Until you're walkin' just like you're ten foot tall

Just like you're ten foot tall

Going for a hoot

Just like Puss 'n' Boots

Trash, wont pick it up
Take them lights away
Trash, wont pick it up
Dont take your life away
Trash, dont try to take my life away
And please dontcha ask me if I love you
If you dont know what I'm doin (whatcha know is)
?those are all the lines, some
ed more, sometimes different wording?br />
Cus I dont know if I do
Cus the way that I feel with you
And take a lovers leap with you
And go to fairyland with you
Go to heaven blue with you
I just dont know if I do
I just dont know if I do
?break?br />Uh, how do call your lover boy

Well we can't take it this week
And her friends don't want another speach
Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
All about that
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
(That's why they talk about Personality)
But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some
Wanna be someone who cow wow wows
But you think about the times you did they took every ounce
When it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
You got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin about
(You were butterflyin)
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
?break?
And your a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
Change on into the wolfman howlin at the moon hooowww
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
Now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says
Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
That personality everything starts to blend
Personality when your mind starts to blend
Personality impression of a friend,
Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Personality wonderin how celebrities ever met
(Look and find out on television)
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
Frustration and heartache is all you got, don't you worry
Personality Crisis please don't cry
It's just a Personality Crisis, please don't stop
Because you walk a Personality
Talk a Personality

I always seen you, just before the dawn

When all the other kids, where just draggin along

I couldn't believe the way it seemed to be

Rememberin the things, you used to say to me



(About...)

You know I can't be wastin time

Cus gotta get my fun

I got to keep on movin

Cant stop til it's all done



Listen when I tell ya, you got no time for fix

Cus I just gotta make it, cant afford to miss

And there's one reason, I'm tellin you this

I feels bad....

And I'm lookin for a kiss



Why wontcha tell me, why those kids are moving so slow

Is it just because they dont have no place to go

When the day starts breakin, the sun is gonna shine

It's hard to sleep, when I been cryin



(And...)

All you ladies are on

Your way to church

(I'm beggin)

Will I just be a' roamin

Lookin turn to a search



Listen when I tell ya, you got no time for fix

Cus I just gotta make it, cant afford to miss

And there's one reason, I'm tellin you this

I feels bad....

And I'm lookin for a kiss



Well I been lookin for a real hot kiss...



You think it's bad, but you know that its true

So why don't let me live baby

When I'm lookin for a kiss

When everyone goes to your house, they shoot up in your room

Most of them are beautiful, but so obsessed with gloom



I aint gonna be here, when they all get home

They're always lookin at me, they wont leave me alone

I didnt come here, lookin for no fix

(I know...)

I been houndin the street all night late baby

Justa lookin for a kiss



I need fix and a kiss



I didnt come here, lookin for no fix

(I know...)

I been haulin booty, all night long

Just lookin for a kiss

And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten feet tall
Go ahead
Lickity split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip
I don't think it fits
Lookin' for a hoot
I'm gonna shout,
Where'd you get those boots!
Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Oh baby, shot for tryin'
Oh little rhinestone target

Sometimes you got to get away some place
And now you're walkin'

Whoso fly up in th' sky

Whos got that love so deep
And everything alive

Flyin around New York City so high

We're all in love! [Repeat: x4]

We all sleep in one great big bed
People like to think we're seekin' a head
Everything to them is just a functional fit
Got a bad reputation, just won't quit
Defame with great suspicion, hostility
Despisable, phenomenal, illusory
Pretty fancy words for not really real
Love ain't pretty, it's the way that we feel because

We're all in love!
We don't care!
We're all in love!
What could they do to us?
We're all in love!
You can do whatcha wanna but
We're all in love!

Jumpin' round the stage like teenage girls
Castin' our swine before the pearls
Don't fuck with us, what people say
They go to work, we go to play!
Drunk on the joy, a-singin' a song
Lovin' hard as the day is long
Excommunicated, then canonized
When love is strong, life intensifies because

We're all in love! [Repeat: x4]

We love fightin' like lovers do
Love makin' up in a hour or two
A kiss on the lips, unseemly for a man
Least we don't go around holdin' hands
Most times we don't, but don't stop tryin'
With the music we got to manifest the divine
To beam it up with love and let it rock on down
Til every creature hip to the ultimate ground because

We're all in love!
What do we care?
We're all in love!
It's our life!
We're all in love!
You can do what ya wanna, but
We're all in love!
We don't care!

We're all in love!
(in love)
We're all in love!
(in love)
We're all in love!
(in love)
We're all in love!

Love! Love! Love!
