Paint Lyrics

I've got a hot chilly feeling I don't understand.
I've got to run through this minute like a hurricane.
I've got to tighten my wire from the sense to the soul.
I find my back to the wall when it's time to go.
I've got to know
is that your heartbeat?

Paint...
me right.
Can you feel the heat in me tonight?
Oh I,
I'm the pearl...
Paint your love all over my world.

I get a love shock/electric from the touch of your hand.
I'm getting lost in the riddles of the modern man.
I've got it up down all around tied to the bone.
Hey there's a strange situation on the late nite show.
I've got to know
is that your heartbeat?

Paint...
me right.
Can you feel the heat in me tonight?
Oh I,
I'm the pearl...
Paint your love all over my world.
Do it right,
I can feel the woman in me tonight.
Oh I,
I'm the pearl...
Paint your love all over my world.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I fell in love with this song the second I heard it. I've must have reported this song 500 times since I first heard it in 1990. Wish I knew someone to love it as much as I do

I can't believe this fun song has no comments! KIDS THESE DAYS (just kidding!)

Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's about confusion in love, with a dominant woman. I get this as Maire seems to sing all of the 'Oh yeah I want you' sort of lyrics, and Per sings moreso 'I DON'T KNOW IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN I'M SO CONFUSED oh hey, late night television.'
