I Want You

I can see your darkened eyes

Across the room turn into lies and laughter

And asking for my name again

A Dm

Then introduce as just a friend

Well it was no fantasy the passion burned

You touched me the evening turned to midnight

I can't forget the naked trust

One quenchless night of shaking lust and fire

I Want you

I want you

C7 Dm

I want you

Since the night I'm not the same

Desire breeds an ugly stain inside me

Satisfaction never comes

It's always dark and yet still I run

Even when I close my eyes

You torture me with shameless signs seduction

Walking in a chilling sweat

Pounding heart inside my chest I'm screaming

I want you

With your heart in your fist

You laugh at my situation

C Bb

Tell me is it blood you want strip me and cut me see I'm bleeding

I want you

Bb7
