How can I deny this feeling? Can't use the fuse that lights the spark Don't think I'll hold out too much longer The lines are blurred in the dividing I deserve light, I desire dark Your influence is getting stronger Defined by mind, my body is too curious So won't you show me all there is to know? I know I shouldn't call But something makes me crave the heat Your love is bittersweet (so here I am) The fire in your touch I always find so hard to beat Your love is bittersweet (so here I am) No substitute for real pleasure You feed the need that lies in me I've lost all sense to this devotion One touch and there's a rush of electricity So won't you show me all there is to know? I know I shouldn't call But something makes me crave the heat Your love is bittersweet (so here I am) The fire in your touch I always find so hard to beat Your love is bittersweet (so here I am) One touch and there's a rush of electricity So won't you show me all there is to know? Anytime you call my name
