I've got the fever, poison in my veins

My mind ain't working right

I know the answer, the way to ease this pain

Only got myself to fight

I can see clearly but choose to be blind

A slave to desire

Holding me, scolding me, changing your mind

You're like playing with fire

Chorus:

I need you

I want to stay on this soul motin ride

There is no danger when you're here by my side

Given some distance, just a little time

Right and wrong seems clear

But my sense of reason is nothing but unkind

Every time that you're near

Over and over I say to myself

Ooh, she's only playing

Ten thousand reasons to find someone else

Still I hear myself saying

Repeat chorus

I'm out here on the edge

And I know what's in store

It should be over and done, just let go and run

But I've tasted too much

Nothing's the same anymore

Repeat chorus
