I was never one to talk about what came before But she kissed me in a way that made me move against the floor Livin' in the night, I held her ordinary name Above the windows out on Wall Street With the marble and the porcelain frame She takes me 'round the room, he akes me by the hand Led me through the smoke and crowd till I could hardly stand Beneath the streets and city lights I laid her down to rest Laid a hand upon her chest, and said I loved But merely guessed it all away And oh, love hurt It's the kind of consolation that you get when you're alone Past the skin and past the bones, in an ordinary tone Ask the question, take me dancing, take me out and take me home Beneath the trees we taste the leaves, ah please don't leave I want to roam this earth with you Oh, love hurt Oh love break my bones, love take my home Love lead me astray, weigh me down with stones Love set me afire, I can see no more Love break my heart and tear down my door Love bring me away, burn down my home There's an emptiness there that I can't afford Love lift me up, for another day Love leave your mark, I am here to stay Stay
