I know all the magic happens when
A good hook pulls you back again
I don't need to know the meaning
Just want to hear a guitar, a few chords, and a catchy melody
------------
VERSE
You better make it quick
I've had enough of the fluff and fancy trick
C'mon - get right to the point
Short and Sweet - Don't need much more than a backbeat
To lift me up and put me on my feet
I'll sing it louder each time it comes around
------------------------------
A simple line - a simple truth
Can start my heart like 80 proof
Just state your case in 40 words or less
Now I confess that I don't need to know the reason
That I can't get it out of my head
I'll just sing it louder each time it comes around
----------------------------------------
Been hard hit, but I got my fix
A few good words and a ton of bricks
You know I'm not tough to satisfy
So stay concise and get it right
You'll come on like dynomite
And I'll keep coming back for more
And I'll sing it louder every time it comes around
-------------------------
BRIDGE
I know some relief is necessary
But don't stay away too long
Just set me up - Knock me down
I'll take that sucker punch every time it comes around
