All alone, on my knees I pray For the strength to stay away In and out, out and in you go I feel your fire Then I lose my self control [Chorus:] How can I ease the pain When I know your coming back again How can I ease the pain in my heart (repeat) How can I ease the pain Evertime that I let you in You take away something deep within A fool for love is a fool for pain But I refuse to love you again [Chorus] If it's not love you've come here for Tell me baby why you're here Knock knock knockin at my door I can't take it No more, no more, no more, no more baby Give me all or nothing at all [Chorus] I need to know how How can I.... ease it OO, how can I ease the pain I need to know baby OO, how can I ease the pain I need to know how to ease it How can I ease the pain
