Tenderness

She tried to show me how to love,
I bit her lips and bruised her arms, no I hadn't learned tenderness.
She asked , 'what does love mean to you?'
I grabbed her hair and pulled her down, and I looked in her eyes and I laughed
The love I feel is hard and fast,
It's for a face and for a night, I don't need to own anyone.
She said she said all your women burn in your flame
But as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you and seek revenge.
She laughed and said, 'You'll go thru hell,
You'll live in lonely rooms unknown and watch for my lost tenderness.'
I went from her to someone else, and someone else,
And someone else, no, I couldn't be satisfied.
She said, she said all your women burn in your flame
But as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you and seek revenge.
I wish that I could find her now, my love is soft, my love is warm,
I'd take her to bed tenderly.
Yes, I'd take her to bed tenderly.
Oh, I'd take her to bed tenderly.
