lyrics

My dear I see you in that dress.
Your hair flowing down to your knees
You bite your lips and I am thinking “Oh baby please.”
Oh dear I must confess
I’ve been thinking about leaving, never coming back
But now I see you and all I can think is that

I’ve got to have you
You drive me crazy baby.
I really need you
I wont take no or maybe.
I’ve got to have you
You drive me crazy baby
I swear to god I wont take “No.”

I’ve got to have more of you.
You are my sun and I am soaking up your burning rays.
I can’t stop loving you.
I guess I’ll have to put off trying to run away.
Oh, how do you do this to me.
You keep pulling me back. How can it be?
Oh, I swear I’m down on my knees.
I want more!

My love you and me are like
A burnt out flame that’s been put down
But is still shining bright.
I feel no warmth but I still scream from heat inside.
I gets more confusing everyday.
I don’t think I’d have it any other way
And it’s driving me insane!
