           Fm
You're not shy, you get around
          C#
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
         A#m
You stay up, you won't come down
           Fm
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound

Got fire in your veins
Burning hot, but you don't feel the pain
Your desire is insane
You can't stop until you do it again

     C#
That maybe you're thinking of some other guy
      A#m
But I know, yes I know, how to treat you right
        Fm
That's why you call me in the middle of the night!

Chorus:
             Fm  D# A#m C# Fm
You say it's urgent,    so urgent,
D# A#m C#        Fm            D#
so-oh-oh urgent, urgent, urgent
          A#m     C#         Fm D#
Just you wait and see, how urgent,
   A#m      C#        Fm  D# A#m C#
my love can be, it's urgent...

You play tricks on my mind
You're everywhere but you're so hard to find
You're not warm or sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental

But I'm not looking for a love that'll last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah, there's one thing in common that we both share
That's a need for each other anytime, anywhere

Chorus:
It gets so urgent
So urgent
You know it's urgent
I want to tell you it's the same for me (Ooh-ooh)
So urgent
Just you wait and see
How urgent our love can be
It's urgent

You say it's urgent
Make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent
Got to rush, make it urgent
Want it quick
Make it urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent (Urgent), Urgent (Urgent), emergency
Urgent (Urgent), Urgent (Urgent), emergency

Fm              D#             A#m
Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, emergency
Fm              D#             A#m
Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, emergency,
Fm D# A#m         Fm
so urgent, emergency
