Lyrics

I'm asking you now, asking you now:
What do you see?
An insect in a web, struggling to set its body free.
Please tell me, lover, why you gotta have this hold on me.

I gotta getta grip...

I'm asking you now, asking you now:
What do you hear?
The pounding of my heart, whenever you decide to reappear.
Please tell me, lover, why I gotta pay the puppeteer.

It wasn't meant to be this way: no, no, no.
It wasn't meant to hurt this way,
Now I long for the day when I can finally say
I got a grip...

I gotta getta grip...

I'm asking you now, asking you now:
What do you feel?
When you're walking down the street, calling every guy in town to heel.
Well I'm telling you, lover, this panting little puppy-dog can't deal.

It wasn't meant to be this way: no, no, no.
It wasn't meant to hurt this way,
Now I long for the day when I can finally say
I got a grip...

I gotta getta grip...
