(1986)
Every flicker of anticipation
in a vision that will mystify.
And you don’t even whisper my name.
I’m a victim of infatuation.
Major loving in the first degree.
It’s hard to control
the devil in me.
Will the spell be unbroken?
Just enough to do or die.
Heaven on earth I surrender.
Send him to me.
I won’t ever stop.
Every sight, every sound
I stumble
lost in the crowd.
Every word, every move,
I wake up
lost in the crowd.
So long, it’s wrong,
it’s not enough.
It’s such a crime to torture me.
So hard to understand the man
and read between the lines.
Any trick of the imagination.
Every power in the universe.
And I’m so afraid of games you play.
When your love is like a precious flower
any heart can steal your sanity
into the flames and the danger is so sweet.
Will the wheel spin in motion?
Just enough to do or die.
Heaven on earth I surrender.
Send him to me.
I won’t ever stop.
Every sight, every sound
I stumble
lost in the crowd.
Every word, every move,
I wake up
lost in the crowd.
So long, it’s wrong,
it’s not enough.
It’s such a crime to torture me.
So hard to understand the man
and read between the lines.
