Harder You Get Lyrics
Scissor Sisters
You're digging deeper
Love is a creeper
I know the reaper on a first name basis
It ain't Steven
It isn't Adam
I got some apples, if you want them you can grab them
And what I really wanna do tonight is toughen you up
[Chorus:]
Harder you get
Caught in my sweat
Now I'm too wet
To want it all
Beatin' my drum
The faster you're done
Can't have one
You want them all
Hell is my heaven
A loaded weapon
Don't point that thing at me unless you plan to shoot
My room is darker
Than any color
I'm not your baby and I'll never be your mother
And what I really wanna do tonight is toughen you up
[Chorus]
You're sensitive to light
We're conjuring the night
You stand up with pride
Attempting to walk
You won't escape alive
Of what's become your life
Stop crying like a child
You got what you want!
You got what you want
And what I really wanna do tonight
Is toughen you up
[Chorus]
Love is a creeper
I know the reaper on a first name basis
It ain't Steven
It isn't Adam
I got some apples, if you want them you can grab them
And what I really wanna do tonight is toughen you up
[Chorus:]
Harder you get
Caught in my sweat
Now I'm too wet
To want it all
Beatin' my drum
The faster you're done
Can't have one
You want them all
Hell is my heaven
A loaded weapon
Don't point that thing at me unless you plan to shoot
My room is darker
Than any color
I'm not your baby and I'll never be your mother
And what I really wanna do tonight is toughen you up
[Chorus]
You're sensitive to light
We're conjuring the night
You stand up with pride
Attempting to walk
You won't escape alive
Of what's become your life
Stop crying like a child
You got what you want!
You got what you want
And what I really wanna do tonight
Is toughen you up
[Chorus]
