Roller Coaster

Buttoned up to the neck Forget about me, forget about everything You say I'm so "up tight" I can't come "unglued" Well pardon me for being twenty-three But living has become something of a necessity Especially for me The two of us were fine living completely separate lives Please tell me what's changed!? I know I've gotten a bit distant I knew we were headed for disaster Since the day I told you loving you is like riding a roller coaster Buttoned down, all the way down Like an open night gown Naked, raw & vulnerable Is this what you wanted? To see me in my weakest most in-defensive state!? My heart skips a beat when you're near I know what I want And what I want is you lying naked in my bed I need the touch of your body To quiet the pounding rhythm in my aching head.
