Lyrics

She tried to show me how to love
I bit her lips and bruised her arms
No, I hadn't learned tenderness
She asked, "What does love mean to you?"
I grabbed her hair and pulled her down
I looked in her eyes and
I laughedThe love,
I feel is hard and fast
It's for a face and for one night
I don't need to own anyone
She said, she said, "All your womenBurn in your flameBut as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave youAnd seek revenge"
She laughed and said, "You'll go through HellYou'll live in lonely rooms I knowAnd watch for my love's tenderness"
Oh, I went from her to someone else
And someone else, mmm
Oh, I couldn't feel satisfied
She said, she said, "All your womenBurn in your flameAnd as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave youAnd seek revenge"
I wish that
I could find her now
My love is soft, my love is warm
I'd take her to bed tenderly
Oh, I'd take her to bed tenderly
Yes, I'd take her to bed tenderly
Mmm
