Burning Down One Side Lyrics By Robert Plant

    slipped through the window by the back door
    caught short in transit with my love
    jumped up fell back cut off from romance
    how could i fall without a shove

    tiptoed like thunder on my feeling
    you rock me gently with your sighs
    my knees are weak my head is reeling
    consumed by the fire in your eyes

    don’tcha know why
    goodness no why

    stepped in and shattered my defenses
    just playing hooky with my heart
    slipped through the window by the back door
    and took the keys to my poor heart
    yes my poor heart

    oh
    try as i might
    try as i may
    yes i’ll try anything to make you stay
    ’cause i need your love
    yes i need you love
    yes i need your love
    oh i need you love

    i’m looking high i’m looking low
    can’t find where did my baby go
    gotta find out why she ran away
    i don’t know where did my baby stay
    try as i might
    try as i may
    i’ll try anything to make you stay

    fire down the boulevard d’amour
    shot through the neon in the night
    hot foot through alleys check the door ways
    try that old parking lot on ninth
    there’s three course kissing in the same place
    oh but that don’t help me out no more
    i’ve been away so long and dreaming
    little girl ain’t i seen you before
    oh little girl
