Tell me that you want me, baby Tell me that it's true Say the magic words and I'd destroy the world for you An army for the broken hearted Marching through the streets And every city's burning To the ground under your feet I wanna hold you My skies are turning black (Feels like a heart attack) And I'd do anything you ask I wanna hold you bad I'd melt the polar icecaps, baby And watch them flood the earth And I'd do anything to show you What your love is worth So, won't you show me your devotion To heal my aching heart? It's like a neutron bomb explosion Tearing me apart I wanna hold you My skies are turning black (Feels like a heart attack) And I'd do anything you ask I wanna hold you bad Attention please We interrupt this program With some disturbing news A worldwide evacuation We're going to lose And they've pulverized the nation I guess it shows us just what love can do I wanna hold you My skies are turning black (Feels like a heart attack) And I'd do anything you ask I wanna hold you bad, bad, bad I'd do anything you ask I wanna hold you bad
