Quotes

  • The lights are on, but you're not home.Your mind is not your own.Your heart sweats, your body shakes.Another kiss is what it takes.You can't eat, you can't sleep.There's no doubt you're in deep.Your throat is tight, you can't breathe.Another kiss is all you need.Whoa, you like to think that you'reimmune to the stuff, oh, yeah.It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough,you know you're gonna have to face it,you're addicted to love.
  • When I was youngI never needed anyoneand making love was just for fun.Those days are gone.All by myself,don't wanna beall by myselfanymore.
  • I was blinded. Yes, I was blinded,and the tender touch that said so much doesn't need me now.I was blinded, how I was blinded.When I think about how far I've got to fallit won't help that I was blinded by it all.
  • So take these broken wingsand learn to fly again, learn to live so freeAnd when we hear the voices singthe book of love will open up for us and let us inTake these broken wingsYou got to learn to fly again, got to learn to live so freeAnd when we hear the voices singthe book of love will open up and let us inYeah, yeah
  • It's easily said with your gun to my head,no one wants to fight a fighter.If this is a dream then I'll stay out of bed,It's always dark before it gets lighter.I'm not being used again.No I won't be used again.I said I won't be used again.You can't keep a good man down.
  • Hold on, it'll take a while.You can't always be so juvenile.Hold on while the love we hadloses nothing, could be half as bad.Waiting for the right time.You never showed me one sign.Give me your lifeline,but don't you give me your sympathy.
