Won’t you be my savior, baby you got to understand I’ve had my fill, of emptiness and slight of hand Won’t you be my lover, oh won’t you fill my heart with ease one spoonful of your sugar, sugar the only thing I need So you wanna feel good? Alright wanna loose yourself, tonight I ain’t fakin so baby take my arm and let’s go back to Dopenhagen Won’t you be my, anesthetic let me feel no pain be my candle in the dark my shelter from the rain Won’t you be my, entertainment help me pass the time I want to spend my days in your loving embrace without a care, on my mind So you wanna feel good? Alright wanna loose yourself, tonight I ain’t fakin so baby take my arm and let’s go back to Dopenhagen Won’t you be my prison, never let me from your arms I wanna swim in liquid sunshine and drift amongst the stars Won’t you be my master, keep me at your beck and call in the summer, in the spring winter and fall So you wanna feel good? Alright wanna loose yourself, tonight I ain’t fakin so baby take my arm and let’s go back to Dopenhagen

Long hot summer nights all dressed in sable they don’t call, just show up at my door we’re all strangers gathered around a table raise a glass and hope for something more Ooooh I hear her singing in the morning Ooooh I hear her singing every night AaaAaaaaaAaaaaA Secret songs and new love in the cradle call me towards that distant smokey bar we’re all lovers here, Cain and Abel lay down there arms and hope for something more Ooooh I hear her singing in the morning Ooooh I hear her singing every night AaaAaaaaaAaaaaA The sun goes down and twilight’s dusty halo puts a restless feeling in my heart the city calls and boy you know I listen cause I don’t want to miss out on my part Ooooh I hear her singing in the morning Ooooh I hear her singing every night AaaAaaaaaAaaaaA

I walk in shadow through the city so still and the night gathers ‘round me low like a spirit distilled And I know she’ll be waiting I know just what we’d do I know exactly how she feels cause I feel it too I feel it too But I took my heart and I gave it to you, babe ( gave it to you ) and though I’m no stranger to temptation I walk on cause nothing, nothing, nothing compares to you The tears on my pillow well they dried long ago I lost myself a thousand times I turned my heart to stone And I know, she’ll be restless and she’ll want me to stay and I’d be liar if I said I didn’t feel just exactly the same just the same But I took my heart and I gave it to you, babe ( gave it to you ) and though I’m no stranger to temptation I walk on cause nothing, nothing, nothing compares to you Well I took my heart and I gave it to you, babe ( gave it to you ) and though I’m no stranger to temptation I walk on cause nothing, nothing, nothing compares to you nothing, nothing nothing in this world will do

It’s about time you realized what you feel isn’t always right you had love, sweet love but jealousy really got the best of you it really got the best of you pulled the strings and had you acting like a fool There’ll be no heat in this heart of mine just a freezer where it used to be I was blinded by your lies but now I see you can’t force a woman’s hand or heart that’s a loser’s game and a thankless part so don’t you think you should think before you start? It’s about time you realized what you feel isn’t always right you had love, sweet love but jealousy really got the best of you it really got the best of you pulled the strings and had you acting like a fool It’s about time you realized what you feel isn’t always right you had love, sweet love but jealousy really got the best of you it really got the best of you pulled the strings and had you acting like a fool
