Some extra lines . . .

2 When you look away Is it mean to say
That she haunts you night and day?
And does it hurt your heart when I say
Let's start to heal the part that's been torn?

3 I don't know about me
I can't say that I have changed
What I was is what I am
That still remains

5 I thought I knew how to handle my emotions
Until you lit the fuse that triggered the explosion
Mm, you turn me on with the power of electric love
And now I can't get enough
Turn the voltage up
