Live Wire lyrics - Sheryl Crow (feat. Bonnie Raitt & Mavis Staples)

[Sheryl Crow (Bonnie Raitt) {Mavis Staples}:]

Well, I got me a lover as stubborn as a weed

But he met his match on the day he met me

(Even when I paddle my boat upshore)

Well, the river keep on floating me right back to your door

{No telling when the lightning strike}

{The way you make me feel, I gotta hold on tight}

I got a live wire

I got a live wire {Live wire, yeah}

(Some people just built that way)

(Never looking back at the mess they made)

Live wire

I got a live wire {Live wire}

Never knowin' what the cat'll drag in

But this birds gettin' out of his cage again

Got a live wire

I got a live wire

{Well, I got me a joint in the middle of town}

{Stay up all night when my friends come around}

You know it's all gonna change when the screen door slams

There comes a wild wind blowin' you back into my hands

{Next thing you know, you hair is standin' on end}

{Circus starts to blow me off my feet again}

I got a live wire

I got a live wire {Mm-mm}

(Some people just built that way)

(Never looking back at the mess they made)

Live wire

I got a live wire {Live wire}

Never knowin' what the cat'll drag in

But this birds gettin' out of his cage again

Got a live wire

I got a live wire

[Mavis Staples:]

Go on girl, do your own self thang, meet Sheryl

[Sheryl Crow (Mavis Staples):]

My love for you is a hurricane

(Come crashin' on me like a runaway train)

My love for you is a house on fire

(Well, I'm burnin' up with a strange desire)

[Sheryl Crow (Bonnie Raitt) {Mavis Staples}:]

I got a live wire

I got a live wire {Mm-mm}

(Some people just built that way)

(Never looking back at the mess they made)

I got a live wire {I got a live wire, yeah}

I got a live wire {I got a live wire}

Never knowin' what the cat'll drag in {Never knowin'}

But this birds gettin' out of his cage again

Got a live wire {Live wire}

I got a live wire {I got a, I got a live}

(Some people just built that way)

(Never looking back at the mess they made)

I got a live wire {I got a live wire, yeah}

I got a live wire {Live, ah-woo}

Sing it ladies

{Live wire, took you so long}

That's right

Talkin' 'bout a live

Got a live wire

Yeah

Live wire

Got a live wire

I got a live wire

Go Mavis

Set your soul on fire, yes it will

Ha-ha, back up, y'all crazy
