Sweet Friction lyrics

Sweet friction

You're drivin' the kid up a wall

It's showtime

He's lookin' for somewhere to fall

In south town

The dreamers all know you by name 

Sweet friction

Small wonder, ooh

You know how to soften the pain

You think you're priceless

You'll never be more than a loan

Sweet friction

In darkness, ooh

A voice at the end of the phone

There can be no doubt

There can be no hesitation

If it don't work out

We don't need a reservation, no

Keep pushin', keep pushin'

Sweet thing

You're backin' my heart up a hill 

Sweet friction

In deadlock, ooh

It's down to a battle of wills

In dreamland

The stars are pretending to shine 

Sweet friction

Stay with me, ooh

I'm layin' my love on the line

You work your good thing

And time will surrender the rest

Sweet friction

Don't try me, ooh

You know I've been tried by the best

There can be no doubt

There can be no hesitation

If it don't work out

We won't need a reservation, no

Keep pushin', keep pushin', ooh

[?] with you, baby

[?] with you, baby

Work your good thing

And time will surrender the rest

Sweet friction

Don't try me, ooh

You know I've been tried by the best

There can be no doubt

There can be no hesitation

If it don't work out

We won't need a reservation, no

Keep pushin', keep pushin', pushin'
