Love Without Greed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can see a man, well dressed and tanned
Collecting you in secret in a long sedan
I can hear you laugh at all his jokes
Taking everything that's offered until it chokes
And it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can't own the flesh and blood i need
Can't have love without greed, without greed oh oh oh
He may get your kiss and believe that it's his
But you know baby i hit your heart where where the others only missed
You can ease your heat in a penthouse suite
While i'm in a hotel with some hanger-on under those dirty sheets
And it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can't own the flesh and blood i need
Can't have love without greed,
Love without greed would give me some hope
When i reach out in the night and grope
But there's nothing there but the next day coming in
And the alarm bell goes ring ring ring ring ring
It goes ring ring ring ring ring
It goes ring ring ring ring ring
You can ease your heat in a penthouse suite
While i'm in a hotel with some hanger-on under those dirty sheets
And it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can't own the flesh and blood i need
Can't have love without greed,
Can't own the flesh and blood i need
Can't have love without greed,
Can't have, love without greed
