Just a lamp by your bedside
Show you I'm game to play
Leave me on until the morning
Turn me off, without a warning
Put me in your room and leave me
Til' again at night you need me, yeah
Hold you close, but not too tightly
Real love's deep and often frightening
And you always run away
Why you always wanna run away
Run away
Put me at arm's distance
And hold me when you need me
But you don't care to, you don't care to know me
And you don't care to feel me now
Oh no no no now
I don't wanna own you
And you feel me lonely
I will not abandon you
And you will never, you will never
You will never, you will never owe me, ya
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Give it to ya, ah
Give it to ya, ah, ah
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Give it to ya, ah
Give it to ya, ah, ah
Give it to ya, ah
Give it to ya, ah, ah
(Aaah, uuhaah ah ah)
Give it to ya, ah
Give it to ya, ah, ah
Just imagine your deep cave
Go nd the sun out, now you're brave
Leave me lying up in your rain
Dry me out and leave me again
Let me fall away and leave me
Til' again at night you need me
Yo yo yo yo
Hold you loose and not too tightly
You've been my all day and nightly
Now you say that I don't care
Now you wanna say that I'm not there
But I'm always feeling your weight
And you leave me anyway
Hold me at arm's distance
And only when you need me
But you don't care to know me
And you don't care to feed me
No I don't wanna own you
And you feel me lonely
I will not abandon you
And you will never hold me, ya
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Give it to ya, ah
Give it to ya, ah, ah
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Give it to ya, ah
Give it to ya, ah, ah
Give it to ya, ah
Give it to ya, ah, ah
Aaha, uhaah ah ah
Give it to ya, ah
Give it to ya, ah, ah
