Midnight in the city and everyone's asleep See the shadow walking in the dark Here she comes She's all in black Long hair flowing down her back Gotta get her out of my mind. Honey I want to kiss you Honey Give me your head Honey I want to kiss you Baby Let me waste away upon your tender lips Oh She loves blood and honey She's got the devil in her eyes (She's got the devil in her eyes) She loves blood and honey They say nobody survives a deadly kiss Oh She loves blood and honey She's got the devil in her eyes (She's got the devil in her eyes) She loves blood and honey Devil is her love and it's the kiss of death to love he Now she's lonely walking down your street She's looking for a bite to eat When she loves she really leaves her mark Pain in her eyes and death in her smile: It'sSa one-way-trip to hell! Give in to desire and she'll put your soul on fire Velvety eyes and pearly skin When she'll knock at your door Your night will begin Oh I want to kiss you Baby I want to honey I want to kiss you Baby Got to kill the lady who loves blood and honey. Oh Sheloves blood and honey She loves blood and honey Honey I want to kiss you Honey Give me your head Oh She loves blooa and honey
