What Have You Done For Me Lately? Lyrics

Looking back is my achilles heel

Lost in thought again

I would tell you what you want to hear

Nine times out of ten

Retrospection just can't help me now

Not in your mind's eye

Competition, vultures on the prowl

Just can't let it lie

Ignite me, ignite me

And I'd do anything you please

Can you see, can you see?

That I'm falling apart at the seams

My eyes dilating

In anticipation

You're not thinking 'maybe', just:

'What have you done for me lately?'

My eyes dilating

In anticipation

Not thinking 'maybe', just:

'What have you done for me lately?'

Temperamental new soliloquy

Keeps me on the edge

You could keep me under lock and key

Or just inside my head

Vestiges of all that came before

Just don't mean a thing

Sharpened tongues will cut me to the core

Think what might have been

Ignite me, ignite me

And I'd do anything you please

Can you see, can you see?

When I'm falling apart at the seams

My eyes dilating

In anticipation

You're not thinking maybe, just:

'What have you done for me lately?'

My eyes dilating

In anticipation

Not thinking 'maybe', just:

'What have you done for me lately?'

Ignite me, ignite me

And I'd do anything you please

Can you see, can you see?

When I'm falling apart at the seams

My eyes dilating

In anticipation

You're not thinking maybe, just:

'What have you done for me lately?'

My eyes dilating

In anticipation

Not thinking 'maybe', just:

'What have you done for me lately?'
