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

 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
 And 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

 And 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
