B
Well, if you're looking for trouble
I'm the man to see
If you're looking for satisfaction
Your satisfaction's guaranteed

I'm as cool as a body on ice
Hotter than the rolling dice
Send you to heaven
Take you to hell
I ain't foolin'
Can't you tell

Chorus:
       G
I'm a live wire
       B
I'm a live wire
       G
I'm a live wire
F#
Gonna set this town on fire

And if you need some lovin'
And if you need some man
You've got the phone and the number
And I got no future plans

Oh, c'mon honey, you got nothin' to lose
You got the thirst and I got the booze
Give you an inch
Take you a mile
I'm gonna make you smile

Chorus:
I'm a live wire, (Live wire)
I'm a live wire, (Live wire)
I'm a live wire, (Live wire)
Holy smoke and sweet desire

Like a hot rod, baby

Oh, stick this in your fuse box!

Ah, cooler than a body on ice
Hotter than the rolling dice
Wilder than a drunken fight
You're going to burn tonight

Chorus:
I'm a live wire, (Live wire)
I'm a live wire, (Live wire)
I'm a live wire, (Live wire)
And I'm gonna set this town on fire

Live wire, (live wire)
I'm a live wire, (live wire)
Well, I'm your live wire, (live wire)
I'm a live wire, (live wire)
Look at me burn
Ow, let me
Meltin'
Short my circuit
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
