For Wanting You |
| It comes as no surprise |
| Your face filled with lies |
| Hovers all around me in this room |
| Clouds hung with my dismay |
| A hot bed where we lay |
| Your every kiss tasting like a tomb |
| If time becomes a judge |
| If my body holds a grudge |
| It’s just because I needed sanctuary |
| Your skin under my nails |
| My curiosity that failed |
| To save myself for something that I need |
| I don’t wanna bleed |
| Or bruise up black and blue |
| Do I deserve these things |
| All for wanting you? |
| Like some virgin with her cloth |
| I play the goddess coming through |
| Now I play the parting slave |
| All for wanting you |
| We do things 'cause we must |
| The law of love and lust |
| Comes together just like oil on flame |
| I looked into your eyes |
| You saw me naked for a while |
| How d’you like it in my little nest? |
| Who was really using who? |
| In here the scent of you |
| Stains the sheets with memory and lust |
| When I get back on the street |
| Tell everybody that I meet |
| Maybe these aren’t scars, they’re only rust |
| I don’t wanna bleed |
| Or bruise up black and blue |
| Do I deserve these things |
| All for wanting you? |
| Like some virgin with her cloth |
| I play the goddess coming through |
| Now I play the parting slave |
| All for wanting you |
