Lyrics
The more you ignore me, the closer I get
You're wasting your time The more you ignore me, the closer I get You're wasting your time
I will be in the bar With my head on the bar I am now a central part Of your mind's landscape Whether you care or do not
Yeah, I've made up your mind The more you ignore me, the closer I get You're wasting your time The more you ignore me, the closer I get You're wasting your time
Beware! I bear more grudges than lonely high court judges When you sleep I will creep into your thoughts Like a bad debt that you can't pay Take the easy way and give in Yeah, and let me in Let me in, let me, Let me in
IT'S WAR It's war It's war It's war It's war, war, war, war, war
Let me in The closer I get You're asking for it The closer I get The closer I...
