[Verse 1]
 ATonight I feel so weak
 Abut all in love is fair
 AI turn the other cheek
         N.C.
 And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
 DanDsus2d I knoDw yoDsus2u're only human
 AAnd I haven't got talking room
 DBut toDsus2night while I'm making excuses
 ESome other woman is making love to you
[Chorus]
 ASomebody Gbring me somDe wDsus2ater
 ACan't you seGe I'm burning Dalive
 ACan't you see Gmy baby's got aDnother lover
 EI don't know how I'm gonna survive
 ASomebody Gbring me somDe wDsus2ater
 ACan't you see Git's out of coDntrol
AMy baby's got my Gheart, my baby's got Dmy mind
 EBut tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil's got my Asoul
[Verse 2]
AWill this aching pass
  AWill the night be through
 AI want to hear the breaking glass
            N.C.
 I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
 DAnd I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
 AI need some insanity, that temporary kind
 DTell me how will I ever be the same
 Ewhen I know that woman is whispering your E7name
