What burns and glows without flame 
What lives and grows without rain 
What brings a smile that lasts for a little while 
Then makes me cry without shame 
How can you please me then and torture and tease me 
And do it in the name of love 

Don`t you know how to be nice 
You leave me without thinking twice 
You`re warm as an oven when you want a little loving 
Then you`ll go from fire to ice 
How can you please me then torture and tease me 
And do it in the name of love 

I`m a coming I`m a going is it raining or snowing 
I got no way if knowing you`re mine 

You made me rise and fall 
You make me stumble and crawl 
So baby get with it you might as well admit it 
Don`t love your daddy at all 
Just how can you please me then torture and tease me 
And do it in the name of love 
You make me rise and fall 
You make me stumble and crawl 
So baby get with it you might as well admit it 
Don`t love your daddy at all
