Love is a stranger

In an open car

To tempt you in

And drive you far away



And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

It's an obsession



Love is a danger

Of a different kind

To take you away

And leave you far behind

And love love love

Is a dangerous drug

You have to receive it

And you still can't

Get enough of the stuff



It's savage and it's cruel

And it shines like destruction

Comes in like the flood

And it seems like religion

It's noble and it's brutal

It distorts and deranges

And it wrenches you up

And you're left like a zombie



And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

It's an obsession



It's guilt edged

Glamorous and sleek by design

You know it's jealous by nature

False and unkind

It's hard and restrained

And it's totally cool

It touches and it teases

As you stumble in the debris



And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

It's an obsession
