Unveiling Love's Sting: Alien Ant Farm's Poetic Tale of Passion
Lyrics
I'll be the bumble bee behind you baby.
I will be the support or companion for you, like a bumblebee behind you.
I'll tear up everything inside you, well yeah.
I will emotionally disturb or unsettle everything within you.
And it stings, and it stings

Take your time cause I can wait.

And if you see my girl could you bring her to me?

I'll wrap this ring around her finger.
