Lyrics Love Ridden - Fiona Apple

Love Ridden

Love ridden I’ve looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I’ve wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm but it will only make
Me colder when it’s over
So I can’t tonight baby
No not ‘baby' anymore if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
My hand won’t hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I’m giving up on you
No, not ‘baby' anymore — if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
No, not ‘baby' anymore — if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
