Making love to a picture frameOne more time tonightYou can tell by the lines in her smileSomething is not rightWhere are you hiding (hiding)She's on the outsideI'm on the inside crying (crying)Just another crazy boyHungry for yourHot loveWrap yourself around me like aWarm gloveThe emptiness leaves me and IFeel the never need toGo back to the way I wasThe way I wasI tried and tried and tried and triedBut I have no concept of consequenceAnd I'm a master of self defenceDays get longerLife gets shorterShe rips me like no otherSo oh dripping from head to toeWhere are you hiding (hiding)She's on the outsideI'm on the inside crying (crying)Hot loveWrap yourself around me like aWarm gloveThe emptiness leaves me and IFeel the never need toGo back to the way I wasThe way I wasHot loveWrap yourself around me like aWarm gloveThe emptiness leaves me and IFeel the never need toGo back to the way I wasThe way I wasI can't make the same mistakeIf you lose my loveIt was yours to takeBreak down your doorTake a little moreWhen I need you aroundAnd I'm so terrified of leavingIt's a new lowTry and pick me up again butLet go see how far I get without youDesperately need more of yourHot loveWrap yourself around me like aWarm gloveThe emptiness leaves me and IFeel the never need toGo back to the way I wasThe way I wasHot loveWrap yourself around me like aWarm gloveThe emptiness leaves me and IFeel the never need toGo back to the way I wasThe way I was
