I Want You
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 your darkened eyes across the room turn into lies andlaughter
And asking for my name again then introduced as just a friend
Well it was no fantasy the passion burned
You touched me the evening turned to midnight
I can't forget the naked trust
One quenchless night of shaking lust and fire
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
Since that night I'm not the same desire breeds an ugly staininside me
Satisfaction never comes, it's always dark and yet I still run
Even when I close my eyes
You torture me with shameless sighs seduction
Walking in a chilling sweat pounding heart inside my chest I'mscreaming
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
With your heart in your fist you laugh at my situation
Tell me is it blood you want
Then take me strip me cut me see I'm bleeding
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
