Live Wire Songtext
von Martha Reeves and the Vandellas

Live wire, ooh
Live wire, ooh
Live wire, ooh
Live wire, ooh

It′s my birthday
And he forgot again
Every time we date
He's always late

Tired of abuses and excuses
I′ve made up my mind
Gonna tell him this time
We're through, yeah

But everything I plan to say
Just seems to fade away
Every time I see his face
My eyes light up
Sparks start to fly in


'Cause he′s a live wire
A real live wire
He′s like a bolt of lightning
That sets my soul afire

Sweet kisses are his alibi
And that's, that′s where
That's where my weakness lies
Though I plan and rehearse
Things I want to say
The words never
Never come my way

′Cause everything I plan to say
Just seems to fade away
Every time I see his face
My eyes light up
Sparks start to fly in
'Cause he′s a live wire

He's like a bolt of lightning
That sets my soul afire


He's like a live wire
Real live wire
A bolt of lightning
My eyes light up, yeah
Sets my soul afire

He′s like a live wire
A real live wire
A bolt of lightning
Yeah, live wire
My eyes light up, yeah
My eyes light up
