Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Oh my love you'll find
You spend your time telling sweet new lies
I don't want you, say you love me
Say it to hurt me twice
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby I can't resist your longing oh,
I'll do it for you
[Chorus]
You'll be standing in the night for love
Easy lover, crazy lover
Farther in the bright light
Crazy how I need you back tonight
And it's easy without feeling
Easy's the hardest word
[Verse 2]
Can't you see you're here
To spend your life throwing sweet revenge
I may only say "I love you"
Knowing you want to change
