Don’t Rescue Me Lyrics by Devo

Shout

1984

Don't rescue me
I don't want to be
Let you and me be
Out of control

Just because I can't sleep at night
Just because I hear your voice
Just because I see your face
Just because I want you

You, you're the one
Turn me inside out
You, you're the one
Make me scream and shout
You, you're the one
De-railroaded me
You, you're the one
Don't rescue me

You make me move
Where I never been
Lost in orbit
All over you

Just because I can't sleep at night
Just because I hear your voice
Just because I see your face
Just because I want you

Don't bring me back
I beg to differ, in fact
You can question why
But what good is that?

Don't rescue me
I won't go back, no

Don't rescue me
I don't want to be
Let you and me be
Out of control

You, you're the one
Turn me inside out
You, you're the one
Make me scream and shout
You, you're the one
De-railroaded me
You, you're the one
Don't rescue me

Just because I can't sleep at night
Just because I hear your voice
Just because I see your face
Just because I want you

You, you're the one
Turn me inside out
You, you're the one
Make me scream and shout
You, you're the one
De-railroaded me
You, you're the one
Don't rescue me
