Album: The Sweetest Illusion

My Cruel Ways

you're the one that i ran to
you had no rival
you were my bible--more fire than flame
all the loving you gave me
that one-off feeling
left while we were sleeping
then down came rain

we're praying come back love
come back, all's forgiven
come back love
we still burn more fire than flame

you're the stop that i came to
the good time station
with no regulation and no masquerade
all you have aroused in me is my suspicion
by your own admission--your eyes have strayed

you have been good for me
i never said it
you deserve more credit
i still need you

so won't you come back love
come back, all's forgiven
come back love
we keep burning more fire than flame
