For Wanting You lyrics
Song information
Artist: Marianne Faithfull Album: Vagabond Ways
Lyrics
It comes as no surprise Your face filled with lies Hovers all around me in this room
Clouds hung with my dismay A hot bed where we lay Your every kiss tasting like a tomb
If time becomes a judge If my body holds a grudge It's just because I needed sanctuary
Your skin under my nails My curiosity that failed To save myself for something that I need
I don't wanna bleed Or bruise up black and blue Do I deserve these things All for wanting you ?
Like some virgin with her cloth I play the goddess coming through Now I play the parting slave All for wanting you
We do things 'cause we must The law of love and lust Comes together just like oil on flame
I looked into your eyes You saw me naked for a while How d'you like it in my little nest ?
Who was really using who ? In here the scent of you Stains the sheets with memory and lust
When I get back on the street Tell everybody that I meet Maybe these aren't scars, they're only rust
I don't wanna bleed Or bruise up black and blue Do I deserve these things All for wanting you ?
Like some virgin with her cloth I play the goddess coming through Now I play the parting slave All for wanting you
