Fascination Lyrics

[Intro]
Got to use her

[Verse 1]
Every time I feel fascination
I just can't stand still, I've got to use her
Every time I think of what you put me through, dear
Fascination moves, sweeping near me
Still, I take you

[Chorus]
(Fascination) Fascination
(Sure enough) Fascination
(Takes a part of me) Takes a part of me
(Can a heartbeat) Can a heartbeat
(Live in the fever) Live in the fever?
(Raging inside of me?)
(Fascination) Fascination
(Oh, yeah) Oh, yeah
(Takes a part of me) Takes a part of me
(I can't help it) I can't help it
(I've got to use her) I've got to use her
(Every time) Fascination comes around

[Verse 2]
If your soul is calling like when I'm walking
Seems that everywhere I turn I hope you're waiting for me
I know that people think that I'm a little crazy
Ooh, pleasure seeks this thing, I think I like fascination
Still, I take you
[Chorus]
(Fascination) Fascination
(Sure enough) Fascination, ooh
(Takes a part of me) Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
(Can a heartbeat) Can my heartbeat
(Live in the fever) Live in the fever
(Raging inside of me?) Raging inside of me?
(Fascination) Fascination
(Oh, yeah) Oh, yeah
(Takes a part of me) Come on, come on, come on, come on
(I can't help it) I can't help it
(I've got to use her) I've got to, ah
(Every time) Every time fascination comes around

[Chorus]
(Fascination) Sure enough
(Sure enough) Takes a part of me
(Takes a part of me) Can a heartbeat, my heartbeat
(Can a heartbeat) Live in the fever
(Live in the fever) Raging?
(Raging inside of me?) Fascination
(Fascination) Fascination
(Oh, yeah) Fascination
(Takes a part of me) Fascinate, fa-, oh, babe
(I can't help it) Fascination
(I've got to use her) I've got to use her
(Every time) Every time fascination comes around
[Post-Chorus]
Coming around
Coming

[Bridge]
(Fascination)
(Fascination) Fascination
(Sure enough)
(Fascination) Takes a part of me
(Yeah, yeah) Can a heartbeat
(Fascination) Live in the fever
(Yeah, yeah) Raging inside of me?
(Fascination) Fascination
(Yeah, yeah) Oh, yeah
(Fascination) Fascination
(Yeah, yeah) Oh, yeah
(Fascination) Oh, yeah
(Yeah, yeah) Oh, yeah
(Fascination) Takes a part of me
(Yeah, yeah) I can't help it
(Fascination) I can't help it
(Yeah, yeah) I've got to use her
(Fascination) Every time
(Yeah, yeah) Fascination
(Fascination) Comes around
(Yeah, yeah) Fascination
(Fascination)
[Outro]
Fascination
Taking a part of me
Can a heartbeat live in the fever raging inside of me?
Fascination takes a part of me
I can't help it, got to use her
Every time, every time
Every time fascination comes around
Fascination

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
