Neneh Cherry Twisted lyrics

I think I could give myself up to you
'Cause you pushed your way through my attitude
But a taste of life on the tip of my tongue
Won't let me forget, it just reminds me


Of all the things I've been fed
And all the magazines that I've read
I'm suspicious of what you said

How long can we be this way?
How long can we live this way?

Will twisted tongues bring us down
Or this twisted world we're living in
Or am I the one that's twisted too?
Thinking we'll make it through

Lipstick smiles bring me worries
When I imagine you with somebody else
That's when I know you got me twisted, baby
Oh, these wicked jealousies could bring us down

Every woman to herself
Every man is his own

When I'm with you the feeling's stronger
Poeple think I got you wrong, I wonder

How long can we be this way?
How long can we love this way?

Will twisted tongues bring us down?
Or this twisted world we're living in
Or am I the one that's twisted too?
Thinking we'll make it through

The thought of saying I'll give you everything I got
Seems so empty 'cause it's stereotype
To protect my, my sanity

How long can we live this way?
How long can we love this way?

Will twisted tongues bring us down?
Or this twisted world we're living in
Or am I the one that's twisted too?
Thinking we'll make it through
