Song Lyrics

Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' flame
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart is full of pain

Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman's been lookin' like something
That might be good for you

Go on and hold her till
The screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothing's wrong

But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

Please baby can't you see
I'm trying to explain
Been here before and I'm locking the door
And I ain't coming back again

Her eyes and arms and skin
Won't make it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today

Go on and hold her till
The screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothing's wrong

And I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

Go on and hold her till
The screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothing's wrong

But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
