She takes dares seriously
Her face burns bright on our screens tonight
Till we fall asleep deliriously
She does a high kick for a live psychic
She puts her secrets on the line
I love you baby I love you crazy
I love you till the end of time
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
She must be dreaming the wires are teeming
She leers a smoky sideways glance
I love this town in its evening gown
I love it at ten cents a dance
So I'd turn it white with dynamite
Set the fuse then strike a match
Watch it fall neath the wrecking ball
Start over again from scratch
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
I would tear this building down
Go!
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
I would tear this building down
I would tear this building down
Go!
