It might be the way you move that keeps me up at night,
Or the outline of your silhouette when you step into the light.
Is it in the things you say or the message in your eyes?
The urgency you feel from me cannot be denied.
I wanted freedom, not some ball and chain,
But now I feel like giving in,
And I know what's to blame.
It's just desire burning up my heart.
I never want to let this feeling go.
That makes me want to love you
I feel like there's a spell on me
That words just can't describe.
It hit me like a ton of bricks,
I swore I'd never take the fall.
Now I'm hanging on the edge.
Or something I'll regret?
This temptation just whets my appetite;
I ain't hungry for no lasting thing.
It's clear to me tonight.
It's just desire burning up my heart.
I never want to let this feeling go.
That makes me want to love you,
I don't know what possesses me,
But every time you're next to me
I just can't control myself.
When it comes to you I'm driven by desire.
I want my freedom, not some ball and chain,
But now I feel like giving in and I know what's to blame.
