Shock To Your System

Description:

This is a song that Sara Quin wrote and that appeared on the album Heartthrob.

Lyrics:

You seem like you're so restless, young at heart

Who gave you reason?

You should be out driving people wild

Who gave you reason?

You got a shock to your system

Knocked your heart right out of sync

You're only meant to hurt once in a while

Who gave you reason?

You're only meant to cry once in a while

Who gave you reason?

You got a shock to your system

Pull yourself out of it

I know that shock to your system

Knocked your heart right out of sync

What you are, what you are

What you are, what you are

What you are is lonely, what you are

What you are is lonely, what you are

You must rely on love once in a while

To give you reason

You must rely on me once in a while

To give you reason

You got a shock to your system

Pull yourself out of it

I know that shock to your system

Knocked your heart right out of sync

What you are, what you are

What you are, what you are

What you are is lonely, what you are

What you are is lonely, what you are

What you are is lonely

What you are is lonely

What you are is lonely
