Steamy like a winter storm
Softer than the sharpest thorn
I held your hand
And I was born
So explain your fury
You were never scorned
You made me feel
The way I felt
You can do me wrong, baby
If it makes you feel
Makes you feel
Softly softly show me you care
Easy easy keep me right there
Would you ever if I double dare
Hurt me harshly destroy me with care
And make the first slice
Like I first cut you
Oh baby why you wanna
Just hurt me like you do
Softly softly show me you care
Easy easy keep me right there
Would you ever defy double there
Hurt me harshly destroy me with care
Softly softly show me you care
Easy easy keep me right there
Never ever ever you dare
Hurt me harshly destroy me with care
Tell me baby...somebody please baby
Steamy like a winter storm
Softer then the sharpest thorn
I held your hand
And I was born
Softly softly destroy me with caution
