please baby can’t you see
my mind’s a burnin’ hell
i got razors arippin’ and tearin’ and strippin’
my heart apart as well
tonight you told me
that you ache for something new
and some other woman is looking like somethin’
that might be good for you
go on and hold her ’til the screaming is gone
go on believe her when she tells you
nothing’s wrong
but i’m the only one
who’ll walk across the fire for you
i’m the only one
who’ll drown in my desire for you
it’s only fear that makes you run
the demons that you’re hiding from
when all your promises are gone
i’m the only one
please baby can’t you see
i’m trying to explain
i’ve been here before and i’m locking the door
and i’m not going back again
her eyes and arms and skin won’t make
it go away
you’ll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
that holds you down today
go on and hold her ’til the screaming is gone
go on believe her when she tells you
nothing’s wrong
but i’m the only one
who’ll walk across the fire for you
and i’m the only one
who’ll drown in my desire for you
it’s only fear that makes you run
the demons that you’re hiding from
when all your promises are gone
i’m the only one
go on and hold her ’til the screaming is gone
go on believe her when she tells you
nothing’s wrong
but i’m the only one
who’ll walk across the fire for you
and i’m the only one
who’ll drown in my desire for you
it’s only fear that makes you run
the demons that you’re hiding from
when all your promises are gone
i’m the only one
and i’m the only one
who’ll drown in my desire for you
it’s only fear that makes you run
the demons that you’re hiding from
when all your promises are gone
i’m the only one
i’m the only one
i’m the only one
ain’t nobody else is gonna love you
