  • I turn my camera on
    I cut my fingers on the way
    On the way, the way I'm slipping away
    I turn my feelings off
    Y'made me untouchable for life
    Yeah, yeah and you wasn't polite

    It hit me like a tom
    You hit me like a tom
    On, on, and on

    Ooh yeah
    When I turn my feelings on
    I turn my feelings on inside
    Yeah, feel like I'm gonna ignite
    I saw them stars go off
    I saw them stars go off at night
    Ooh yeah, and they're looking alright

    Keep on blowin up
    Keep on blowin em off
    Get up roll it out
    Keep on showin em out

    Y'hit me like a tom
    It hit me like a tom
    On and on a tom

    I turn my camera on
    I cut my fingers on the way
    On the way, on the way
    I feel me slippin away
    I wipe my feelings off
    Y'made me untouchable for life
    (Keep on rolling on)
    Ooh yeah and you wasn't polite

    Y'hit me like a tom
    I don't know where it's from
    It hit me like a tom-tom

    Ooh yeah
    Ooh yeah, I turned my camera on
    Ooh yeah, I turned my camera on
    Ooh yeah
    Ooh yeah
    I turned my camera on (hit me like a tom)
    I turned my camera on (hit me like a tom)
    I turned my camera on (hit me like a tom)
    I turned my camera on
