Lyrics
ah breathless hush, poundin` soft, lasting
oh glossy mouth, a taste untamed, moving
carousel, up and down
just like you
oh baby
just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
you`re on my mind
baby, why can`t I have you?
you`re breakin` my heart in two
you know what I`m goin` through
oh baby, why can`t I have you?
Oh candy smile, all the while, glinting
your eyes like mica, a lethal pout, hinting
(felt the pressure)
oo and I felt the pressure, tight and warm, softly striking
(oo tripped and stumbled)
oo I tripped and stumbled
I cling forever
I go all night
oh baby
just one more time to touch you
just one more time to tell you
I`m not so blind
baby, why can`t I have you?
always breakin` my heart in two
you know what I`m goin` through
uh oh baby, why can`t I have you?
(baby) oh baby (why can`t I have you?) why can`t I have you?
you know what I`m goin` through
(you`re breakin` my heart in two)
you`re breakin` my heart, breakin` my heart
(you know what I`m gonna do)
(you`re breakin` my heart) breakin` my heart
(baby) oh baby (why can`t I have you?) I need you
(you know what I`m goin` through)
you`re breakin` my heart (you`re breakin` my heart in two)
oh baby, I need you so much, I need you, touch
(you know what I`m gonna do)
(you`re breakin` my heart)
(baby) oh baby (why can`t I have you?)
(you know what I`m goin` through)
