Lyrics
Life is short
Filled with stuff Don't know what for I ain't had enough
I've learned all I know By the age of nine But I could better myself If I could only find
Some new kind of kick Something I ain't had Some new kind of buzz I wanna go hog mad
I'm lookin' and lookin' and lookin' for Something I ain't had before I'm lookin' and lookin' and lookin' to find
Some new kind of kick Some new kind of kick Come on, gimme a kick I want a kick
Like baby needs mom Like Susie needs dick This baby need Some new kind of kick
I want some new kind of kick I want some new kind of kick I want some new kind of kick I want some new kind of kick
I'm lookin' and lookin' and lookin' for Something I ain't had before I'm lookin' and lookin' and lookin' to find
I want some new kind of kick I want some new kind of kick I want some new kind of kick
