When I get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop, and I turn, and I go for a ride
'Til I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer
Helter-skelter, helter-skelter
Helter-skelter
Yeah, whoo!
Will you, won't you want me to make you? (Ah)
I'm coming down fast, but don't let me break you (ah)
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer (da, da, da, da)
Look out! (Da, da, da)
Helter-skelter, helter-skelter
Helter-skelter, ooh
Look out!
'Cause here she comes (ah, ah)
When I get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop, and I turn, and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
But do you, don't you want me to make you? (Ah)
I'm coming down fast, but don't let me break you (ah)
Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer
You may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer (da, da, da, da)
Look out! (Da, da, daa)
Helter-skelter, helter-skelter
Helter-skelter
Well look out!
Helter-skelter
She's coming down fast
Yes, she is
Yes, she is
Coming down fast
Oh yeah, helter-skelter
Whoo!
I got blisters on my fingers!
