Lyrics
WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DO IT SO SLOWLY
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 must say it's provocative.
You tease your tongue across your lips
To catch that drop of wine.
Are you just tryin' to hurt me?
It's just a tiny drop. It's just a shiny sip.
You tip your tongue to touch that sparkle on your lip. Ahh.
Why'd you have to do it so slowly?
Why'd you have to do it that way?
You might have to hurt me. . . now.
You might have to. . . hurt me.
You shiver when you move to me.
My glass is full and drips a drop of wine upon my hand.
Are you just tryin' to hurt me?
It's just a tiny drop. It's just a shiny dot.
You wet your finger from your smile, touch that spot.
Why'd you have to do it so slowly?
Why'd you have to do it that way?
You might have to hurt me. . . now.
You might have to. . . hurt me.
La la la. . .
Dah dah dah. . .
I think you got me washed away.
The spirit power slowly moving in my very soul.
Are you just tryin' to hurt me?
It's just a lusty love. It's just a lovely lust.
It's slowly flowin' over into both of us.
Why'd you have to do it so slowly?
Why'd you have to do it that way?
You might have to. . . break my heart. Oh no.
Why'd you... have to... do it...
Why'd you have to do it that way?
You might have to. . . hurt. . . hurt. . .
You might have to. . . h- h- h- hurt me,
now.
