dame

 
the pain of loving you is worth the while
I burn inside the tenderness
a heated touch sends vibrations through me
I feel you in the soul of me
penetrating me within
gentle insistence and I succumb

it hurts to be this connected
I would linger in madness without you
to come so close to the edge of oblivion
sweet surrender in your arms
you break my resolve
I have to have you

flick the cigarette
kiss the girl and burn
you know you shouldn't
but a hard man with all your swagger has a weak spot
wired in your makeup a need to protect

sure she could take care of herself
but she needed you
deep in the soul of her, there was a flaw
she didn't see it but the wolves did
yeah they had her pegged
just a woman to them

a raven beauty
she didn't want to be alone
she'd gone from her daddy to a man's house
now she was one her own

reckless she fell for the lines
he'd seen it all too often pretty girl like her destroyed
used up and cast aside

she was broken inside
he was too but he had enough cuss in him to fight it
he beat back the night for her
ordering her demons back he lay claim to her

just a dame yeah but his dame
all her broken pieces fit with his own
apart they were two broken halves
together a whole
