Livin La Vida Loca

She is into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I felt a premonition
That girls gonna make me fall
Shes in to new sensation
New kicks and candle lights
Shes got a new addiction
For every day and night

Chorus
Upside inside up
Livin la vida loca
Shell push and pull you down
Livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skins the colour mocha
Shell wear you out
Livin la vida loca
Livin la vida loca
Shes Livin la vida loca

Shell make you take the your

Clothes off
And go dancing in the rain
As shell take a away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain

Woke up in new york city

In a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and
She took my money

She must have slipped me a

Sleeping pill
She never drinks the water
And makes you order French
Champagne
And once youre had a taste
Of her
Youll never be the same
Yes, shell make you go
Insane
