Pleasure And Pain

Baby rest easy, don't jostle the bed
Don't fool with that pillow that's under my head
'Cause the warmth of your nearness is filling my brain
With that sweet, sweet combination of pleasure and pain
That sweet, sweet combination of pleasure and pain
It'll fly you to heaven, it'll drive you insane
First you set me on fire, then you put out the flame
With that tender temptation, that simple sensation
That sweet combination of pleasure and pain
Stop rubbing my shoulder, stop curling my hair
You're a witch of a woman, I'm too tired to care
But I feel myself rising, and I just can't explain
That sweet, sweet combination of pleasure and pain
That sweet, sweet combination of pleasure and pain
It'll fly you to heaven, it'll drive you insane
First you set me on fire, then you put out the flame
With that tender temptation, that simple sensation
That sweet combination of pleasure and pain
Pleasure and pain
Pleasure and pain..........
