Tiger eyes
Just as wild as you make me feel
Tantalize
Make my designs hard to conceal
Trying hard to hold on to you
Waterfall in my hand you’re slippin’ through
Tried so hard it makes me scream

Can’t you see that you’re drivin’ me crazy
I don’t know what to do
All you do is you’re drivin’ me crazy
It makes me feel so good, so good, so good

Will you stay and give me time to work it out
Day by day
Lose my mind without a doubt
Don’t want to hang you up this way
Just wanna lay you down and play
I’m gonna go out of my mind

Can’t you see that you’re drivin’ me crazy
I don’t know what to do
All you do is you’re drivin’ me crazy
It makes me feel so good, so good, so good

Can’t you see that you’re drivin’ me crazy (you’re drivin’ me crazy)
I don’t know what to do
All you do is you’re drivin’ me crazy (you’re drivin’ me crazy)
It makes me feel so good

Can’t you see that you’re drivin’ me crazy (you’re drivin’ me crazy)
I don’t know what to do
All you do is you’re drivin’ me crazy (you’re drivin’ me crazy)
It makes me feel so good

Can’t you see that you’re drivin’ me crazy (you’re drivin’ me crazy)
I don’t know what to do
