I know there's no form 00:11

And no labels to put on 00:13

To this thing we keep 00:16

And dip into when we need 00:18

And I don't have the right 00:21

To ask where you go at night 00:24

But the waves hit my head 00:26

To think someone's in your bed 00:29

I get a little bit Genghis Khan 00:32

I don't want you to get it on 00:34

With nobody else but me (ooh) 00:36

With nobody else but me 00:39

I get a little bit Genghis Khan 00:42

I don't want you to get it on 00:45

With nobody else but me (ooh) 00:47

With nobody else but me 00:49

00:52

And the lights, they glow 01:02

Like I just lost the World War 01:04

And the scene slips away 01:07

To the evenness I fake 01:09

It's a cheat somewhere 01:11

'Cause I don't really want you, girl 01:14

But you can't be free 01:17

'Cause I'm selfish, I'm obscene 01:20

I get a little bit Genghis Khan 01:22

I don't want you to get it on 01:26

With nobody else but me (ooh) 01:28

With nobody else but me 01:30

I get a little bit Genghis Khan 01:33

Don't want you to get it on 01:36

With nobody else but me (ooh) 01:38

With nobody else but me 01:41

01:44

Ooh, I wanna make up my mind 01:54

But I don't know myself 01:57

No, I don't know myself 01:59

Ooh, I wanna make up my mind 02:05

Lyrics:

[English]

I know there's no form

And no labels to put on

To this thing we keep

And dip into when we need

And I don't have the right

To ask where you go at night

But the waves hit my head

To think someone's in your bed

I get a little bit Genghis Khan

I don't want you to get it on

With nobody else but me (ooh)

With nobody else but me

I get a little bit Genghis Khan

I don't want you to get it on

With nobody else but me (ooh)

With nobody else but me

...

And the lights, they glow

Like I just lost the World War

And the scene slips away

To the evenness I fake

It's a cheat somewhere

'Cause I don't really want you, girl

But you can't be free

'Cause I'm selfish, I'm obscene

I get a little bit Genghis Khan

I don't want you to get it on

With nobody else but me (ooh)

With nobody else but me

I get a little bit Genghis Khan

Don't want you to get it on

With nobody else but me (ooh)

With nobody else but me

...

Ooh, I wanna make up my mind

But I don't know myself

No, I don't know myself

Ooh, I wanna make up my mind

But I don't know myself

No, I don't know myself

Ooh, I wanna make up my mind

But I don't know myself

No, I don't know myself

And I get a little bit Genghis Khan

I don't want you to get it on

With nobody else but me (ooh)

With nobody else but me

I get a little bit Genghis Khan

I don't want you to get it on

With nobody else but me (ooh)

With nobody else but me

...
