Lyrics
Lonely and cold
Frightened but bold
Was I born to ache
with every breathe that I take
Oh I stand tall against the wind
As the silent midnight air waits for something
To release all this desire
that makes me want you
And doesn't it haunt you
When ya know that I want you too
Doesn't it haunt you
Oh yeah, yeah !
I'm an inferno
blazing with rage
screaming to hold you
as love burns inside my cage
I pray for angels
to feed my hungry soul
Only with you babe
can I lose all this control
and doesn't it haunt you
your yearn to feel my fire
Doesn't it haunt you
the restraint of your desire
When ya know that I want you too
Oh doesn't it haunt you
Oh yeah, yeah !
And when the silent midnight air
whispers your name,
and you turn around,
and there ain't nothin' there but your conscience
Well tell me, tell me baby doesn't it haunt you
and thru the fire and thru the sweat
there are those that we will never forget
Oh but baby doesn't it haunt you
Doesn't it haunt you ?
When ya know that I want ya too
Doesn't it haunt you ?
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Doesn't it haunt you ?
Doesn't it haunt you ?
Oh yeah, yeah !
