LYRICS:
CHORUS
Fear and delight
all the way through the night,
With a little daring do,
I’ll fall in love with you.
INTRO
Oh but I know you’ll cause me grief,
close friends of mine are in disbelief,
as they can see what’s underneath
fluttering lashes, red lips and pearly white teeth.
1.
I don’t show it but I quiver whenever you come near,
and I cannot decipher between the thrill and the fear
I want to stop but I like too much to let it stop here:
it’s wrong but i want you tonight.
It was not my own volition but I fell in deep
by running the distance I’d been advised to keep
I trot to the wolf as a doting sheep;
it’s wrong but i want you tonight.
2.
I’m the little boy who’s gonna be getting fingers burnt,
but I can see this lesson’s gotta gotta gotta be learnt,
they say that boys have been destroyed but they weren’t;
it’s wrong but I want you tonight.
In any case my friends it’s too late,
like a moth to light like a beast to bate
and I know the black widow eat it’s mate;
it’s wrong but I want you tonight.
3.
I’m an innocent being seduced by your charms,
I’m a young boy tickled to death in your arms,
your kisses taste like bitter almonds;
it’s wrong but i want you tonight.
You’re an addiction pulling me to a grave end,
you’re an enemy who I’m keen to defend,
(so) down the black hole of my lust I descend;
it’s wrong but I want you tonight.
4.
Why is that I’m keen to be devoured by you,
when there’s the option of a love affair that’s pure and true,
I always choose the dungeon over the sea view;
it’s wrong but I want you tonight.
When I’m out the other side I say never again,
but when I’m out and about I want to find the next vixen
someone who’ll be sure to drive me round the bend;
it’s wrong but I want you tonight.
