You're a song written by the hands of God Don't get me wrong 'cause this might sound to you a bit odd But you own the place where all my thoughts go hiding Right under your clothes, is where I find them Underneath your clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl honey 'Cause of you, I forgot the smart ways to lie Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry When the friends are gone, when the party's over We will still belong to each other Underneath your clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl honey Underneath your clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl For being such a, hey I love you more than all that's on the planet Movin', talkin', walkin', breathin' You know it's true Oh baby it's so funny almost don't believe it As every voice is hangin' from the silence Lamps are hangin' from the ceilin' Like a lady tied to her manners I'm tied up to this feeling Underneath your clothes There's an endless story There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl honey Underneath your clothes Whoa There's the man I chose There's my territory And all the things I deserve For being such a good girl For being such a good girl
