Ready For Your Love

A fragrance of something in the air tonight
Has got me howling at the moon outside
There’s something in my bubble
That wants to come out
I’ve got some kind of trouble
That I can’t do without
There’s a devil knocking on my door tonight
You’re asking me if you can come along
For the ride

I’m ready for your love baby
So get ready for my love

I know I shouldn’t get into your bed right now
But I’ve gotta see that sleazy dress inside out
So take it off before I’m gonna rip it apart
And stick your lovely needles baby
Straight through my heart

I’m ready for your love baby
So get ready for my love

Come To Me

Have you been crying or did you just walk here in the rain
The sun has been dying ever since you went away
But now she’s shining
Brighter than lightning
There’s no denying
You should come back here to stay

There might have been times when I may have been all cruel
But that’s no reason to keep on acting like a fool
Cuz we’re doing fine
My, my, look at the time
The last bus is leaving
Can I stay with you tonight?

Baby come to me
Baby won’t you tell me why
You can’t be what I need
Baby come to me
Baby won’t you tell me why
You can’t be what I need

I cannot find the words to ease the pain
So come to me and try to explain
I know you can’t explain the pain away

Time after time we’ve been living in the past
Don’t you think it’s about time
We’re gonna try and make this one last
Cuz I’m on a roll
I’m about to lose control
And I’m about to lose my soul
And I can’t let go cuz I need you
And baby I need to know

Baby come to me
Baby won’t you tell me why
You can’t be what I need
Baby come to me
Baby won’t you tell me why
You can’t be what I need

I cannot find the words to ease the pain
So come to me and try to explain
I know you can’t explain the pain away

Take the pain away

Streetlights/Sidewalks

When I’m done with all I have to do
And the sun is setting soon
Time will come for alleys and for avenues
The sight of the night you know
I’m crazy about that stuff
And I can never get enough of

White streetlights flickering reflections
In the water on the side
Of the purple coloured sidewalks
That I walk on at night
Carmine is the colour of a thousand lips
Of women passing by
Blue the sight of neon
That’s dancing in their eyes

Some day soon all I ever did
Will be gone like the wind
But until then all I ever do
Will mainly come down to you
Cuz baby you give me something more to do

White streetlights flickering reflections
In the water on the side
Of the purple coloured sidewalks
That I walk on at night
Carmine is the colour of a thousand lips
Of women passing by
Blue the sight of neon
That’s dancing in their eyes

They could be dancing in your eyes

High

You picked me up when I was weak
I didn’t expect it
You made me feel so high

A woman gave a man
The gift of a woman
So simple and so fine

Now it’s been a long time, baby,
Since I’ve had such addiction in my bed
And I understand that now it’s time for you
To move along
But I didn’t get over you yet

I picked you up when I was weak
And the bar was downtown
You made me feel so high

A bottle gave a man
A man a problem
You’re whiskey, gin,
You’re wine

Now it’s been a long time, baby,
Since I’ve had such addiction in my head
And I understand that now I shouldn’t
Take it in so much
But I didn’t get over you yet

I didn’t get over you
You, and the liquor too
I didn’t get over you yet

Cuz you made me feel so high
So simple and so fine
You made me feel so high
You’re whisky, gin, you’re wine
I understand that now it’s time for you
To move along
But I didn’t get over you yet
I understand that now I shouldn’t
Take it in so much
But I didn’t get over you
And I’ll never get over you

I picked you up when I was weak
And the bar was downtown
You made me feel so high

A woman gave a man
A man a problem
oh, you’re whiskey, gin, you’re wine

Now it’s been a long time, baby,
Since I’ve had such addiction in my head
And I understand that now it’s time for you
To move along
But I didn’t get over you yet

I didn’t get over you
You, and the liquor too
I’ll never get over you

Cuz you made me feel so high…

I Can’t Sleep

What have I got to do
To keep me from loving you?
You take me by surprise
You come knocking late at night

You say you found somebody new
To tell you ’bout the trouble in you
Well, you step out of the light
When I walk into the room
Here’s what I’m gonna do

I can’t sleep, I can’t be without you now
You mess around and you turn me inside out
I can’t sleep, I can’t be without you now

And it’s the same every day
You know, I’m sure
But I’m never safe

So how d’ya want us to go on
Cuz it’s like heaven and hell
It’s wrong
I find myself in empty rooms
With no one left to crawl to

You know, I’m staring at the wall
I need a hammer, a blade
I need nothing at all
Some peace and quiet
An emotional diet
With some place left to fall to
Well, let me tell you

I can’t sleep, I can’t be without you now
You mess around and you turn me inside out
I can’t sleep, I can’t be without you now

And it’s the same every day
You’re always one step ahead
Of my game

I can’t sleep, I can’t be without you now
You mess around and you turn me inside out
I can’t sleep, I can’t be without you now
You mess around and you turn me inside out
Don’t you know that
I can’t sleep without you now

And it’s the same every day
You know, I’m sure
But I’m never safe.
