If the Devil had seen your dress

He would've changed his name

Put down his fork and moved up above

Why burn in hell when you burn for love?

I know what I mean but just don't say

Cos all the old words get in the way

I'll stay with love

Cos that's the right word baby

That's the right word

Cos I love you

And that's the right word baby

That's the right word, the right word

There are two kinds of lovers in this world

Those who like diaminds and those who like dirt

Here I stand, my face is a mask

I'll take it off because you asked

I know what I mean but just don't say

Cos all the old words get in the way

I'll stay with love

Cos that's the right word baby

That's the right word

Cos I love you

And that's the right word baby

That's the right word, the right word

So hold me up on my word

And keep me down in the bed

There's one thing I should have said

Will you keep me safe from the world

And hold me just like a pearl?

The light always shines the brightest

In the Core of a Flame

After lead break sing the choruses yourself
