please baby can't you see
my mind's a burnin' hell

i got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
my heart apart as well
tonight you told me

that you ache for something new
and some other woman is lookin' like something
that might be good for you

go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
go on believe her when she tells you
nothing's wrong

but i'm the only one
who'll walk across the fire for you
i'm the only one

who'll drown in my desire for you
it's only fear that makes you run
the demons that you're hiding from

when all your promises are gone
i'm the only one


please baby can't you see
i'm trying to explain
i've been here before and i'm locking the door

and i'm not going back again
her eyes and arms and skin won't make
it go away

you'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
that holds you down today
go on and hold her till the screaming is gone

go on believe her when she tells you
nothing's wrong
but i'm the only one

who'll walk across the fire for you
i'm the only one
who'll drown in my desire for you

it's only fear that makes you run
the demons that you're hiding from
when all your promises are gone

i'm the only one
