His kisses are like drugs... They turn your eyes inside your head

Your skin comes alive... And your brain shuts off.



Then he turns on you and he's cruel and heartless

You can't figure out what went wrong

He's a hungry baby far from his mother

And you're no comfort at all



There's something physical between you

That keeps you tied to him

Like chains, it'll drag you down



WHen he's not around it's easy to intellectualize that he's no good

So you sit at home and you sleep and you dream a little more than you should



Then he opens the door

There's liquor on his breath, and perfume in his hair

He holds you close -- he's so warm and strong

And gradually you don't care



[chorus]



Sometimes you don't hear from him at all

And the voice in your head becomes a shout

What has he got that you can't live without



[chorus
