Lyrics
You Hit Me Where I Live
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.
There was something in the conversation
Ancient languages were breaking through
I was falling for infatuation
How about you?
You say it's nothing special
That's just the way it is...
You hit me where I live
Though I drink the cup it leaves me thirsting
What on earth am I supposed to do?
When I try to speak I find my bursting
heart is full of you...
You say it's only natural
You say forget and forgive...
You hit me where I live
I was once the man who felt no passion
I was nothing till I fell for you
You're a duellist (dualist) in your own fashion
Eyes that run me through...
You say that it's a mixed blessing
But I should take the gift you give
You hit me where I live
