I would lock you up But I could not bear to hear you Screaming to be set free I would chain you up If I'd thought you'd swear The only one that mattered was me, me, me I would strap you up But don't worry baby You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to It's too late to stop Won't the heavens save me? My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you You take me to the edge of heaven Tell me that my soul's forgiven Hide you baby's eyes and we can, You take me to the edge of heaven One last time might be forever When the passion dies, It's just a matter of time before my heart is Looking for a home I'm like a maniac, at the end of the day I'm like a doggie barking at your door So come take me back to the place you stay And maybe we can do it once more You say I'm dangerous But don't worry baby I get excited at the things that you do And there's a place for us in a dirty movie 'cause no-one does it better than me and you You take me to the edge of heaven Tell me that my soul's forgiven Hide your baby's eyes and we can, You take me to the edge of heaven One last time might be forever Please don't tell me lies It's just a matter of time before my heart is Looking for a home I ain't got no more worries I'm gonna spend some times with you Loving you takes such courage And don't you think that I know it You take me to the edge of heaven You tell me that my soul's forgiven Hide your baby's eyes and we can, You take me to the edge of heaven One last time might be forever Don't you tell me lies, because believe me baby One day you'll wake up on your own. I ain't got no more worries I ain't got no more time for you Loving you takes such courage Everyone's got their eyes on you I ain't got no more worries I ain't got no more time for you Loving you takes such courage And don't you think that I know it
